May 10 Spring Storm Forecast

One look outside today (Monday, May 10, 2010) would confirm it’s spring as some more wacky weather is forecast for much of southwestern Missouri later on.

I had plans to get out and do a little hiking but have revised my plans in the face of temperatures that have stayed in the lower fifties with gusty winds and a general icky weather pattern that could develop into severe weather later this afternoon or tonight. As the graphic from the weather service indicates, the worst of the problems will more than likely impact the far west counties of Missouri and extreme southeast Kansas. Those folks might even see a squall line with long tracking tornadoes as part of the package. Over here in Forsyth Missouri, I am guessing that the frontal passage of the cold front in the early evening will be less dramatic with only straight line winds, hail and heavy rainfall possible.
