038 FXUS63 KSGF 130830 AFDSGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 330 AM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Heavy rainfall will be the main threat overnight with nighttime flash flooding a concern for southern Missouri. Never drive down flooded roadways and remember to turn around, don`t drown. - Showers and thunderstorms will continue through the morning and early afternoon hours. Rain chances diminish this evening. - 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 /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1226 AM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025 Showers and thunderstorms are moving through southern MO tonight. Most of this activity will remain sub-severe, though heavy rainfall is occurring. This has led to reduced visibilities and MVFR/IFR ceilings. Southerly winds may become gusty in and around these thunderstorms. Expect intermittent thunderstorms to occur through most of the period with activity diminishing by Sunday evening and VFR ceilings returning. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...None.
