SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/

Issued at 238 AM CDT Sun May 10 2026

Scattered high clouds are pushing into the area from the southwest as convection moves through SE OK/NW AR. Temperatures have stayed warm in the low 60s tonight. A surface low pressure system will pass to our southwest over the course of this morning and bring a 20-50% chance of thunderstorms to the MO/AR border. Storms are expected to remain sub-severe, and not everyone will see rain. There will be abundant dry air that the forecasted convection will have to overcome this afternoon that already eliminated our rain chances from occurring earlier. If rain does occur, accumulations will be light at <0.25". Skies will be mostly to partly cloudy for most of the day with highs reaching the lower 70s and northeasterly winds gusting near 20 mph. Rain will taper off by late afternoon and clouds will begin to clear for Sunday night. Lows will be much cooler in the 40s.

Mid-level high pressure starts to build over the four corners region on Monday. Winds will remain easterly on Monday for us and highs will reach the mid 80s with sunny skies expected. The dry airmass will still be in place to start the week and dewpoints will stay in the mid 40s making Monday feel warm but dry. Monday night will be clear with lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/

Issued at 238 AM CDT Sun May 10 2026

Tuesday is the start of our warm up over the next several days. Southerly flow returns on Tuesday and moisture begins to return to the area. Skies will be sunny with high temperatures in the lower 80s. A cold front is forecast to move through late Tuesday into Wednesday and will bring us our next chance for shower and thunderstorms. SPC currently has areas along and north of I-44 in a Marginal risk (1/4) for severe weather. Those areas over SE KS and central MO are forecast to have the better moisture with dewpoints in the 50s. Though, there is some uncertainty as far as instability and how the low-level convergence plays out ahead of the front. Right now, the severe threat appears isolated with the main threats being damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph and quarter sized hail.

The cold front will bring down our dewpoints and flip our winds out of the northeast, but it won't really impact our temperatures. Highs on Wednesday will still be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Winds turn southerly by Thursday and dewpoints really start to increase for the end of the week. Highs will creep into the upper 80s by Saturday and dewpoints reach the mid 60s as well. This will make it feel hot and humid for the end of the week into next weekend.
