.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 338 AM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025

A shortwave trough digging into the Central Plains has
initiated yet another overnight MCS across the Southern Plains
into the mid to lower Mississippi Valley, with the weaker
northern edge of the MCS slowly nudging its way into far
eastern KS toward the MO state line. However, the convection is
struggling to sustain itself as it slowly progresses eastward as
it heads into an area of increased convective inhibition. CAM
guidance suggests that the MCS should continue to erode away as
it continues its eastward trek toward our CWA through the next
few hours. Meanwhile, toward central Missouri, dense fog has
developed, with quarter mile visibility at Boonville and
Moberly as of 4 AM. This has prompted the issuance of a dense
fog advisory through 9 AM for these locations, after which the
dense fog should mix out.

Another area of convection has developed this morning across
central Nebraska, which will continue to progress to the east
southeast through the morning hours with the mid level trough
axis, likely eventually becoming a relatively well developed MCS
as it moves through our CWA from west to east from roughly 9 AM
through mid afternoon. Instability will be quite modest, so
severe weather seems unlikely for most locations. But with 1.2
to 1.4 PWAT and a relatively slow moving MCS, there could be
corridors of 1" to 2" of rain. The most likely location and time
for any better organized updrafts and perhaps a strong storm or
two looks to be toward central Missouri by mid afternoon where
localized higher instability and deep layer shear will reside.

By tonight, a closed mid level low develops over southern
Saskatchewan, with an accompanying amplified mid upper trough
beginning to dig southward into the far northern High Plains. By
around noon Sunday, the closed 500 mb low is progged to descend
to SE of Winnipeg, with the southern extent of the trough
advancing southward into the mid Mississippi Valley. This will
send a cold front through the CWA from northwest to southeast
from late Sunday morning into Sunday afternoon. With a
moderately unstable airmass along and ahead of this front and
around 30 to 40 knots of deep layer bulk shear, a few strong to
severe storms will be possible, with SPC putting our CWA from
KC to Kirksville and southward into a slight risk for severe
storms. Large hail and damaging wind gusts will be the primary
hazards, with the potential for sig hail (2+ inches) for KC and
points southwest where ML CAPE is progged to be higher (up to
2500 J/kg) and mid level lapse rates should be steeper.

Slightly cooler temperatures and dry weather is likely to come
behind the front for Monday as the closed mid level low is
progged to advanced into Wisconsin with strong WNW mid level
flow over our region. The mid to upper low and accompanying trough
exits to the east on Tuesday, with mid level ridging building
in by Wednesday. This will yield warmer temperatures with highs
into the mid 80s across the region for Wednesday with dry
weather continuing. Shower/storm chances return by Thursday as
models suggest another wave entering into the Southern Plains.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1116 PM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025

Some light BR across eastern KS and western MO impact VIS
slight. Greater VIS impacts are anticipated across central MO
with VIS dropping to MVFR and iso IFR at some fields.

RA and TSRA across KS is expected to move into the region
through the overnight hours. Most of the activity is anticipated
to pass south of the terminals bringing slight precip chance to
IXD. More RA/TSRA is expected to form around sunrise with
storms persisting through the late morning into the afternoon
hours. Winds behind the storms become NW and gusty. Winds
dissipate after sunset returning to light and variable.
Saturated low level may result in some radiation fog overnight,
but VIS impacts are expected to be minimal.
