Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Monday, May 20, 2013.

Heavy rains and severe thunderstorm activity will continue for areas of the Plains into the Midwest on Monday as a broad, nearly stationary low sits over the Northern Plains. As the system lingers, ample moisture and energy will stream northward from the Gulf of Mexico, while an associated cold front extends from the low into Iowa and back across the Central and Southern Plains. The sharpening cold front combined with a dry line in the Southern Plains and the moisture laden conditions of the region will allow for multiple clusters of thunderstorms to develop across the Plains and into the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Portions of Oklahoma, southeastern Kansas, extreme, northwestern Arkansas, an southwestern Missouri are at moderate risk of severe thunderstorm activity as environmental conditions remain favorable for strong tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and very large hail. Areas surrounding this moderate risk region from the parts of the southwestern Texas into the Upper Great Lakes are at slight risk of severe thunderstorm development with hail and isolated tornadoes.

Meanwhile, areas of heavy rain and widely scattered showers will persist near the low and it's associated warm front in portions of the north-central U.S. Continued precipitation in these already saturate areas combined with rapid runoff will continue flood concerns from parts of North Dakota into northwestern Wisconsin.

Elsewhere, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected in the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern corner of the nation as a weak upper trough of low pressure drops southward over the region. Locally heavy rain amounts of up to 2 inches may result in areas of minor flooding, especially in poor drainage areas. To the north, additional showers will be possible in the Northeast.

Nowcast as of 6:35 am CDT on May 20, 2013
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will persist early this morning across extreme southeastern Kansas and much of the Missouri Ozarks. The most numerous thunderstorm activity will occur from The Fort Scott and Nevada areas...east into the Truman and Lake of The Ozarks region. Frequent lightning and torrential rainfall will be the main impacts from this activity...although a few storms may produce hail up to the size of dimes. Rainfall rates of one to two inches per hour will occur with some of these storms...which will lead to a risk of flash flooding. Movement of the individual showers and thunderstorms will be to the northeast around 45 mph.
Flash Flood Watch in effect until 10 am CDT this morning...
Flash Flood Watch in effect from this evening through Tuesday morning...

... NOAA Weather Radio transmitter in Avilla remains degraded...

NOAA Weather Radio station wxj-61 in Avilla/Joplin is operating on
low power. National Weather Service technicians continue to
troubleshoot the problem. An estimated date and time for the
Avilla transmitter being restored to full power is unknown at this
time.

Those in the immediate vicinity of the Avilla transmitter may
still be able to receive the NOAA Weather Radio transmission...
however the stability of the transmitter is in question. Thus... it
is possible that the Avilla transmitter may fail with no advanced
notice.

With the potential for severe thunderstorms and flooding from late
today into Tuesday... it is highly recommended that NOAA Weather
Radio users accessing the Avilla transmitter consider
reprogramming their radios to one of the alternative transmitters
listed below. Please consult your user manual for instruction on
how to switch channels/frequencies.

The following is a list of alternative transmitters for
counties normally covered by the Avilla/Joplin transmitter.
