SHORT TERM
(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
IT WAS A CALM AND QUIET NIGHT OVER EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND
THE MISSOURI OZARKS. TEMPERATURES COOLED INTO THE UPPER 60S AND
LOWER 70S, UNDER A MIX OF CLEAR SKIES AND SOME CLOUD COVER.
A LARGE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED OVER THE KANSAS FLINT
HILLS, AND PRETTY MUCH STAYED OUT WEST THROUGH THE NIGHT. SOME OF
THE STRATIFORM ECHOES HAS MOVED INTO THE HIGHWAY 59 CORRIDOR, AND
COULD POTENTIALLY OOZE INTO CHEROKEE AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES AT
SOME POINT THROUGH THE MORNING. THEREFORE WE HAVE SOME POPS GOING
IN THAT ZONE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.
WE THINK MOST LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN DRY THROUGH TODAY WITH HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL REMAIN IN CHECK
DUE TO DRIER DEW POINTS EXPECTED.
FOR TONIGHT, A FEW SHOWERS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT ACROSS THE OSAGE
PLAINS COUNTIES. OTHERWISE ANOTHER CALM AND QUIET NIGHT IS
EXPECTED WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S.
LONG TERM
(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
THE SUMMERTIME HIGH CENTER SHIFTS WEST INTO ARIZONA BY THIS
WEEKEND, FORCING A DRIER AND COOLER AIRMASS INTO THE OZARKS. THE
LEADING EDGE OF THIS FRONT COULD OFFER A FEW SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY, HOWEVER, MOST LOCATIONS
SHOULD REMAIN DRY THIS WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES TRENDING LOWER.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, SUNDAY'S HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
RANGE MAINLY IN THE MIDDLE 80S. OVERNIGHT LOWS SUNDAY MORNING WILL
FALL INTO THE LOW TO MIDDLE 60S.
EVEN COOLER WEATHER IS ON TAP FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHTS WITH
LOWS FALLING INTO THE 50S. MAINLY DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THIS
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WORK WEEK. OUR NEXT CHANCES FOR RAIN
COULD OCCUR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS A SHORTWAVE
DISTURBANCE APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS FEATURE MAY HAVE
LIMITED MOISTURE TO WORK WITH GIVEN THE NORTHWEST FLOW.
AVIATION
(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1231 PM CDT THU AUG 13 2020
SCT-BKN 015-025 DECKS WILL BE COMMON FROM KSGF-KBBG EASTWARD
THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. FARTHER WEST THERE WILL BE MID LEVEL VFR
CEILINGS. CONVECTIVE CHANCES EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL EAST OF THE
TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON.
ANOTHER CLUSTER OF STORMS WILL HOWEVER FORM TONIGHT OVER
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...IMPACTING THE KJLN AREA TOWARD MIDNIGHT
SPREADING SOUTHEAST INTO ARKANSAS. SOME QUESTION WHETHER THIS WILL
CATCH THE KBBG AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY
IMPROVING CEILINGS DURING THE MORNING.
