SHORT TERM
(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024
Data from local radars indicate that the forecast area is currently precipitation free. Activity in central and southwest Missouri continues to slowly increase in coverage and intensity.
Forecasts continue to reflect expected convective evolution this afternoon and evening.
A cold front across central Oklahoma is expected to promote explosive convective development this afternoon. The convection then should form in a linear fashion, as it approaches the forecast area. Instability and vertical wind profiles support thunderstorms capable of all hazards late this afternoon and evening. Of particular note is a near term parameter space supporting giant hail in the western half of the forecast area.
This thunderstorm episode should move south and east of the forecast area by sunrise Thursday. The previously mentioned front will be in the vicinity of southern sections to support widely scattered shower development Thursday afternoon.
Expect noticeably drier and cooler conditions for Friday.
LONG TERM
(Friday Night through next Wednesday)
Issued at 226 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024
High pressure will accompany the upper level ridge as it attempts to build over the Southern Plains. This will provide a continued chance of cooler and drier air for the majority of the weekend with max/min temperatures ranging about 5-7 degrees below seasonal normals. Rain chances will be re-introduced by the second half of Sunday as the Southwest flow returns and Gulf moisture returns to the midsouth.
The GFS is indicating a cutoff low to move right over North Arkansas on Tuesday with a brief clearing ahead of the next weather system expected in the Thursday/Friday timeframe.

Issued at 627 PM CDT Wed May 8 2024
A line of showers and thunderstorms are expected to sweep across Arkansas from northwest to southeast during Wednesday evening into the early morning hours on Thursday. CIGS and VSBY will possibly drop to as low as IFR flight category as the line of thunderstorms impacts sites from northwest to southeast across the state. After the passage of the thunderstorm activity, winds will become variable, before becoming established by Thursday mid-day out of the north-north east to north-northwest. CIGS behind the storm activity should improve to VFR by Thursday afternoon across the southeastern terminals.
