KEY MESSAGES
- Showers and isolated thunderstorms through this afternoon and evening. Highest rain chances south and west of a Warsaw to Salem line. Marginal risk for excessive rainfall mainly for far southwestern Missouri.
- Moderate to high rain chances again Friday into Saturday. Marginal risk for excessive rainfall and localized flooding for locations that see repeated rounds of rainfall.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Issued at 227 AM CDT Thu May 28 2026
Little has changes in the expectations for Friday. The surface low still looks to lift slowly east languishing over Ozarks. This will allow for additional rounds of showers and storms. Rainfall amounts from this round remain uncertain as the showery nature expected will likely produce widely varying rainfall amounts across the region. With continued high moisture content in the atmosphere, weak mean flow, localized flooding will be a concern, especially with additional rainfall expected for Saturday as the low continues its slow progression east. Rain chances are lower Saturday than the previous Today or Friday, but the multi-day nature of the rainfall may be enough to begin getting more flooding.
Rain chances do begin to taper off slowly Sunday into early next week before the region transitions into a drier pattern by Wednesday. This will occur as the upper low out west begins to lift north into the northern plains. This will bring rising heights and decreasing rain chances for the area and would support warming middle level, 850mb temperatures and warmer surface temperatures for the middle to later portions of next week.
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY/
Issued at 616 AM CDT Thu May 28 2026
