SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS SETTLING ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON WITH A LIGHT NORTH WIND AND DRIER AIR SLOWLY STARTING
TO FILTER IN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE QUICK TO MOVE OFF TO THE
EAST TONIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY. ALOFT, A DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED IN
ZONAL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO TRAVERSE THE QUAD STATE AND INTERACT
WITH A FRONTAL ZONE LAID OUT ACROSS THE AREA. THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN MISSOURI ON SATURDAY AND MAY DEVELOP INTO
A MCS THAT RIDES ALONG A STRONG THETA-E GRADIENT ORIENTED NW-SE
SATURDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. SUFFICIENT SHEAR IN PLACE
ALONG WITH STRONG INSTABILITY WOULD OFFER A SEVERE STORM THREAT.
DEPENDING ON AIRMASS RECOVERY BEHIND THIS MCS, ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY DEVELOP LATE SATURDAY. PWS WILL BE HIGH
AND SEVERAL ROUNDS OF RAIN/STORMS LEADS TO INCREASING CONCERN
FOR FLASH FLOODING.
RESIDUAL CONVECTION MAY LINGER INTO SUNDAY BEFORE A FRONT
FINALLY PUSHES ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA. MUCH DRIER AIR WILL
WORK ITS WAY IN AS HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS. DEWPOINTS ARE LIKELY
TO DROP INTO THE 50S SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE COOLER WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S. A DISTURBANCE WILL
PASS BY THE SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY BUT AT THIS TIME IT
LOOKS TO REMAIN TO OUR SOUTH KEEPING CONDITIONS DRY. UPPER
TROUGHING DEVELOPS MID TO LATE WEEK AND MAY OFFER CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS TO RETURN TO THE AREA ALONG WITH WARMER
TEMPERATURES.
