AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
324 AM CDT FRI JUL 11 2025
KEY MESSAGES
- A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING A 40-70% FOR THUNDERSTORMS
ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THERE IS A MARGINAL (1 OF 4) TO SLIGHT
(2 OF 4) RISK FOR LOCALLY EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IF STORMS MOVE
OVER THE SAME LOCATION REPEATEDLY.
- THERE IS ALSO A MARGINAL RISK (1/5) FOR SEVERE WEATHER
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH THE GREATEST THREATS BEING DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS, UP TO QUARTER SIZED HAIL, AND HEAVY RAINFALL.
SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/
ISSUED AT 308 AM CDT FRI JUL 11 2025
SKIES ARE MOSTLY CLEAR TONIGHT WITH LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS IN PLACE.
PRESSURE GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN AHEAD OF AN INCOMING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM. TODAY WILL STAY MOSTLY DRY BUT WILL BE HOT! EXPECT
HEAT INDICES IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S ACROSS THE AREA TODAY
WITH SUNNY SKIES. TONIGHT WILL BE WARM AGAIN WITH LOWS IN THE 70S
AND BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS ONCE AGAIN.
SATURDAY STILL LOOKS RAINY FOR MOST OF THE AREA AS THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE STATE. THIS TROUGH WILL TAKE ITS TIME
THROUGH THE WEEKEND BRINGING SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL FORM ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS IT STALLS OVER
US. SPC HAS MOST OF SOUTHERN MO IN A MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER (1/5) WITH THE MAIN RISKS BEING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS UP TO 60
MPH AND HAIL UP TO QUARTER-SIZED. WITH WPC OUTLINING FAR SOUTHWEST
MO IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL (2/4), WE CAN EXPECT
THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL. THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE CONTENT (PWATS OF 1.5-2.0")
AND IF STORMS KEEP REFORMING OFF THE BOUNDARY AND TRAIN OVER THE
SAME AREAS, THIS COULD LEAD TO NUISANCE AND STREET FLOODING THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. IF SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS,
BE SURE TO KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST FORECAST.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
ISSUED AT 308 AM CDT FRI JUL 11 2025
SUNDAY MORNING WILL BE SIMILAR TO SATURDAY AS THE FRONT WILL
STILL BE OVER THE AREA. SPC HAS A MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER (1/5) FOR SUNDAY AS WELL WITH STRONG TO MARGINALLY
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE MORNING. AGAIN,
THESE STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DROP HEAVY RAINFALL. THE
FRONT WILL MOVE EAST BY SUNDAY EVENING AND THE RAIN WILL
DISSIPATE. NEXT WEEK WILL FEATURE DAILY AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES (20-40%) WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S.
AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY/
ISSUED AT 1228 AM CDT FRI JUL 11 2025
