Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
711 PM CDT Tue Apr 20 2021

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 243 PM CDT Tue Apr 20 2021

Narrow band of moderate to locally heavy snow continues to move
east. The band is picking up speed and narrowing as it moves east,
reducing residence time and accumulations over any one area. The
snow will exit east by around 7pm.

Clearing skies tonight will allow temperatures to drop into the
low to upper 20s tonight. The well advertised hard freeze and
heavy frost is on track.

For Wednesday, expect partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to
mid 50s. Could see some showers skirt the northeastern CWA in the
afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
Issued at 243 PM CDT Tue Apr 20 2021

Frost and freeze will be possible again Wednesday night into
Thursday morning as temperatures fall into the upper 20s to mid
30s (coldest over the eastern CWA and warmest west).

Showers will be possible Thursday afternoon into Thursday night
ahead of a trough and surface low moving into the central US.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms are then possible Friday
into Friday night, with some linger showers into Saturday morning.
Forecast QPF for this time frame is generally at 1.0-1.5 inches.

Highs will be in the mid 50s to low 60s Thursday and Friday, but
will be warmer in the mid 60s Saturday. Dry days are expected
Sunday and Monday with highs warming further to around 70 Sunday
and the upper 80s Monday.

Could see a system move into the area Tuesday into Wednesday.
Plenty of uncertainty, but will need to watch for severe potential
with this.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)

As the cold front that brought snow and impacts to area terminals
today moves east skies will clear or become mostly clear with VFR
conditions. This should prevail overnight and into the day on
Wednesday. Middle to high overcast is then expected for much of
the area though flight impacts will be limited.
