807 FXUS63 KSGF 131746 AFDSGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 1246 PM CDT Sun Sep 13 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Rain ends this morning. A 15-20% chance for rain this afternoon mainly east of Highway 65. - Highs in the 90s with heat index values of 100-105 during the upcoming work week. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 249 AM CDT Sun Sep 13 2026 Showers and thunderstorms are still moving their way into SE KS/SW MO early this morning. A couple of severe gusts were recorded with this convection overnight, but so far has remained sub-severe over the last couple of hours and it continues to push south and weaken. Rain chances stick around through Sunday morning and clouds begin to break up by early afternoon. There is a 15-20% chance for a thunderstorm over the eastern portions of the area that didn`t see rain last night. Though, there will be quite a bit of subsidence over that area which may prevent storms from even producing at all. Temperatures will be in the 80s and 90s again today making it another warm day with a stationary front making its way towards central MO. Winds will be out of the east-southeast and will stay around 10 mph or less. Skies will be partly cloudy overnight. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... Issued at 249 AM CDT Sun Sep 13 2026 A stationary front hangs out over the northern part of our CWA for most of the week and brings off and on rain chances for central MO. High pressure will sit over southern MO and keep that area mostly dry through mid-week. Once that ridge begins to move east later in the week, rain chances become more widespread by the end of the week. Unfortunately, not a lot of temperature changes or any signs of a cooldown coming this week. In fact, there may need to be Heat Advisories issued this week with the prolonged heat indices near 105 degrees especially for areas south of I-44. High temperatures drop into the 80s for next weekend. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1245 PM CDT Sun Sep 13 2026 The 18Z TAF period is expected to mostly be characterized by light and variable winds (a slight preference to northeasterly wind direction) with mid- and high-level cloud debris from a decaying rain shield. There is a very low-end chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm between 18-02Z, but chances of impacting TAF sites are less than 10%. After 06Z, winds shift and increase a bit to 8-12 kts out of the south-southeast. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...None. MO...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...Soria LONG TERM...Soria AVIATION...Price
