.KEY MESSAGES...

  flooding will be the main threat today. Rain chances diminish
  later this afternoon.

- Active summertime pattern continues next week with daily
  afternoon shower and thunderstorm chances.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 257 AM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025

Rain showers will linger over the area for today as a shortwave
pushes east. Both SPC and WPC have backed off on the severe and
flooding potential for today. This is likely due to the lack of
lift available over the area. The CWA is now only in a general
thunder outlook and a Marginal risk (1/4) for flooding today.
This means that any rain that occurs today may still lead to
nuisance flooding or flash flooding, but that it will likely be
sub-severe. Though, we could see a rumble of thunder or two if
the showers can become strong enough.

So far, most of southern MO has seen at least a trace of rain
with the highest rainfall totals occurring over Texas and
Shannon counties where they saw around 2-3 inches Saturday
afternoon. An additional 0.5-1.0" of rain can be expected today
across the area.

The upper level low will still hangout over us on Monday
allowing for afternoon thunderstorms to occur. Right now, there
is a 30-50% chance for rain mostly south of I-44.

As for high temperatures, today and tomorrow will be partly
cloudy with highs in the low to mid 80s. Lows will still be warm
in the upper 60s.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 257 AM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025

The upper-level low finally moves out of the area by Tuesday and
zonal flow returns. Though, shortwaves will move through the
area bringing daily storm chances favoring afternoon convection
as instability builds.

NBM QPF is generally around a quarter inch daily though high
precipital water and weak flow will need to be monitored for
the potential for flooding.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 623 AM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025

Showers are moving through the state from south to north this
morning. Most of this activity will remain sub-severe, though
some showers may produce heavy rainfall. This has led to
reduced visibilities and MVFR/IFR ceilings. Southerly winds may
become gusty in and around these showers. Expect intermittent
showers to occur through the morning. Rain exits the area later
this afternoon with VFR ceilings returning by this evening.
