.SHORT TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 207 PM CDT Thu Sep 10 2026

Rest of today: 2,000-2,500 J/kg of instability has developed
over sunny far south-central MO while shear is weak at around 20
kts. This may lead to a couple strong to marginally severe
storms this afternoon and early evening, with localized 60 mph
winds the primary threat. The area of concern should mainly be
southeast of a line from Gainesville to Salem.

Over the rest of the area, some light showers are possible, with
temperatures mainly in the 70s.

Tonight and Friday: The mid-level wave over south-central KS
will settle over the area tonight while closing off and
lingering through Friday. This will prompt chances for showers
and possibly thunderstorms mainly south of I-44. The highest
coverage/chances will be late tonight into early Friday morning
at 50-70%. Otherwise look for highs mainly in the 80s Friday.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Issued at 207 PM CDT Thu Sep 10 2026

This weekend into next week: A mid-level high will develop over
the southeastern CONUS, with increasing heights over our region.
This will result in a return to above normal temperatures with
highs generally in the upper 80s to mid 90s. Occasional
shortwave energy nearby may lead to some showers and storms at
times, but predictability is quite low as better chances will be
north of the CWA. There is a marginal severe risk touching the
northwestern CWA Saturday as strong to severe storms may develop
north of the area and outflow count push a few storms into the
CWA, but confidence in any details is low.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 622 PM CDT Thu Sep 10 2026

Broken to overcast mid-level clouds associated with a weak cold
front have persisted across southwest and south-central
Missouri this evening. Scattered showers will develop ahead of
this boundary tonight into Friday morning, primarily affecting
the BBG site. Elsewhere, areas of fog will develop after 08Z,
particularly across central and perhaps far western Missouri,
bringing IFR and lower ceilings to the region.
