Severe t-storm north of Springfield, MO. Looks to be headed a little south of due east.

Easy to see boundary just south of the city on radar and visually from city Park

Nice light show looking south from Mascoutah.

We were out at Belleville West for my sister's dance recital. The lightning was amazing.

0.67" this morning, 0.37" this evening for 1.04" today in High Ridge. Nearly 26" YTD.

It’s a Goldilocks thing. Some of us too much, some too little and some of us just right.

Has anyone seen any precipitation totals from across the the Ozarks overnight? Just curious. There looks like there should be some pretty hefty totals.

Looks like we'll have to watch the Thurs/Fri timeframe for a couple potential ridge runners as the ridge builds to our West and heat/instability builds.
Beyond that, models are still showing a potential system developing in the N Gulf that may try to lift into the region late next weekend or early next week.

I'm cautiously optimistic that trend will continue this summer...this coming week into next will be a good gauge of that. |

From the forecast this week. Does it look like we are breaking out this rain pattern?

Looks like summer is finally here later this week
Several days of mid to upper 90s

The dry spell that is sure to come at some point may be delayed. Likely some tropical moisture in play early next week.

Question for the smart folks: Are tomorrow's temps strictly heat-island related? I see mid to upper 80s all around the STL metro on the GFS, but 96 over the metro...so it's not like we're getting WAA.
EDIT: I guess maybe it's the Ozark region that's just "cooler" than areas to the SW.

Mostly UHI.
But the caveat to that is that away from the UHI... especially north and east of STL... the humidity may spike a bit higher do to the evaportransporation of moisture off the vegitation. I say may, because I don't know how far along the crops are at this point... especially corn. It may not be far enough along to contribute a whole lot.
My big question for tonight is how far south will scattered clusters/line segments make it to the south late this evening? The CAPE really drops off quickly once you get to I-70 in our area. I could see a situation where storms fall apart just north of STL but because of the favorable downburst conditions end up throwing out a long stretching outflow that could kick up winds to 50+ mph for a couple hours past after the initiating storms are gone. Kind of like dropping a couple big rocks in a small pond... the ripples last for while.

Kind of like dropping a couple big rocks in a small pond... the ripples last for while. Lots of guys struggled to get corn in so I bet the impact of evapotranspiration aren't very high. If anything frontal compression may spike see points north of the area. Not a terrible day today. Good breeze at the pool. |

The corn around here is mostly between 1-3' tall and the beans are mostly just starting to come up...I'd say the crops aren't contributing to EVT a lot at this point. There is still quite a bit of ground moisture below the surface though.
Models seem torn with the evolution of the storms this evening and overnight...the 40km NAM and HRRR splits us while the 3k NAM and RAP are more bullish with a broken line of storms or a cluster of multi-cells. It may be a struggle for widespread convection with toasty mid-level temps(700mb ~12*C) and waning instability. But models do show a sharp low-level trof and some mid-level height falls so there is quite a bit of forcing for ascent. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to water the garden for good luck, lol.

Corfidi vectors and thickness contours strongly support that cluster of storms in NE MO dropping down the river valley...the HRRR is out to lunch with initialization big time.

I was just coming here to point that out. The HRRR is not even initializing with any convection to our NW. It's going to be tough to get storms south of 70 tonight with lack of instability and capping but a mature MCS can keep going longer than you’d think. |
