  overnight into Sunday morning.

- Slight risk for severe thunderstorms Sunday afternoon and
  evening. Primary hazards would be large hail and damaging

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 130 PM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025

Through this Afternoon-Evening: Radar depicts an area of
showers and thunderstorms in west central MO this afternoon,
progged to build east-southeast through the late afternoon into
the early evening. This complex is associated with additional
shortwave energy sliding through the Middle Mississippi Valley
today. Visible satellite imagery captures some breaks in the
clouds across the area, supporting daytime heating in the wake
of the morning thunderstorm complex. This daytime heating will
support some destabilization across the Ozarks, with MLCAPE
forecast to be upwards of 1000 to 1500 J/kg. This instability
overlaps sufficient deep layer shear around 40-45 knots.
However, there remains some uncertainty on just how well the
low-levels truly recover in the wake of this morning`s activity.
While mid-level lapse rates remain poor, there may be enough
thermodynamics to support isolated strong to severe
thunderstorm segments. SPC has highlighted this potential with a
Marginal Risk (1 out of 5), generally along and east of Highway
65. The primary hazard will be damaging wind gusts of 50 to 60
mph, with a lower threat for hail up to the size of dimes. Most
of the thunderstorms are expected to remain sub- severe with
coverage fairly limited. Areas across southeast KS into
southwest MO may remain completely dry through this evening.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms dissipate into south central
MO this evening with the loss of daytime heating towards
sunset.

Tonight: By tonight, skies clear and give way to overnight lows
in the upper 50s to lower 60s. This will set the stage for
potential fog to overspread the area. Latest HREF guidance
depicts 40-60% probabilities for visibilities less than a half
mile, generally along and north of Interstate 44. Fog headlines
may be warranted overnight into early Sunday morning if
confidence continues to increase in widespread coverage.

Sunday: The next shortwave trough and an associated cold front
are progged to slide through the region on Sunday. This frontal
passage will be the focus for additional showers and
thunderstorms, including the potential for severe. The
environment ahead of the front will be characterized by ample
instability (MUCAPE 2000-3000 J/kg) and modest deep layer shear
(30-40 knots). Meanwhile, highs reach into the lower to middle
80s with dewpoints in the upper 60s. Timing remains a key
component to the severe potential, as the front looks to collide
with the most favorable daytime heating. The latest CAMs
highlight scattered showers and thunderstorms developing just
north of the area in the early afternoon, before sliding south
into the late afternoon. There still remains some uncertainty
with the extent of thunderstorm coverage. The environment would
favor supercells initially, before congealing into multicell
clusters, supporting large hail up to the size of golf balls and
damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph. The greatest risk extents
north of Interstate 44 from southeast KS into central MO.
Lastly, the risk for a tornado remains very low, given the lack
of strong low-level dynamics. Areas further south begin to see
a decrease in thunderstorm chances into the early evening. SPC
highlights much of the area in a Slight Risk (2 out of 5).
Additionally, heavy downpours and localized flash flooding
remain plausible, though confidence is low. Additional details
may be gleaned from the mesoanalysis on Sunday.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 130 PM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025

Monday-Wednesday: As the front clears the area overnight Sunday
into Monday, a pattern change takes shape over the region.
Expect a drier stretch of weather through early week with
northwest flow aloft and surface high pressure settling over the
central CONUS. Temperatures look to remain near normal for
early June, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s.

Late Next Week: Confidence is increasing in unsettled weather
returning to the Ozarks region by next Thursday and Friday.
Ensembles remain consistent with southwest flow into the central
CONUS, supporting a return of moisture and embedded shortwaves.
Rain chances are upwards of 50-80% through late week, with
periods of dry time between waves of energy.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 1205 PM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025

MVFR ceilings are dissipating early this afternoon, with VFR
conditions expected to prevail through this evening. There is
increasing confidence that fog may overspread the area overnight
into Sunday morning, reducing visibilities at the TAF sites. VFR
conditions return later Sunday morning ahead of a cold front.
Westerly winds around 5 to 10 knots today, becoming more
variable into tonight.
