AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
300 PM CST MON NOV 14 2005

.DISCUSSION...

SHORT RANGE (TNGT-THURS)...
VERY ACTIVE WEATHER ON TAP FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH ALL EYES
FOCUSING ON THE EVOLVING STORM SYSTEM. WEATHER THUS FAR TODAY HAS
PANNED OUT PRETTY MUCH AS EXPECTED.  THE SWLY LLJ HAS RESULTED IN A
RAPID NNEWD RETURN OF LOW LVL MSTR AND WARM AIR ABOVE THE BOUNDARY
LAYER. THE COMBO OF LIFT WITHIN THIS WARM CONVEYOR AND THAT ASSOCD
WITH A LEAD SHRTWV NOW OVR NW MO HAS RESULTED IN A LARGE SWATH OF
RAIN AND EMBDD TSRA OVR THE SERN 3/4THS OF THE CWFA TDA.  MUCH
LIGHTER DEFORMATION ZN PCPN WAS OCCURING ACRS NRN MO INTO SE IA IN
ADVANCE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SHRTWV. THE ANTECEDANT LOW SFC DEW
POINTS HV RESULTED IN SOME FAIRLY CHILLY TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON
DUE TO EVAPORATIVE COOLING FROM THE PCPN.  LGT SFC FLOW ACRS THE
OZARKS AND THE PCPN WITHIN THE COOL SECTOR HAS HELPED REINFORCE THE
WRMFNT TO OUR SOUTH...WHICH NOW STRETCHES FROM THE BOOTHEEL THRU
CNTRL AR THEN SNAKES NWWD THRU NRN OH INTO SE CO. A FAIRLY LARGE
AREA OF SFC PRES FALLS ARE EVIDENT IN MSAS DATA FM WRN OK INTO SE CO
SIGNALLING THE BEGINNING OF CYCLOGENESIS IN RESPONSE TO THE POTENT
ULJ AND UPR TROF APCHG THE ROCKIES.

CURRENT TRENDS SUGGEST THE PCPN OVR THE AREA ATTM WILL CONT TO EXIT
EWD THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING IN ASSOCN
WITH THE MIGRATING LEAD SHRTWV.  THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS HOW PCPN
WILL EVOLVE LATER TNGT.  THE SFC LOW DVLPG OVR SE CO IS FCST TO MOV
INTO NE OK BY 12Z IN ASSOCN WITH THE MIGRATING AND AMPLIFYING UPR
TROF.  THIS SHUD ALLOW 2 THINGS TO HAPPEN - FIRST THE WRMFNT TO OUR
SOUTH SHUD LIFT NWD INTO SRN MO...AND SECOND THE LLJ SHUD BACK TO
MORE SLY REFOCUSING LIFT ALG AND JUST NORTH OF THE ADVANCING
WRMFNT.  I GUESS THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS WILL THIS NWD RETURN OF THE
FRONT BE DELAYED ANY BY CONTD DIABATIC COOLING AND/OR OZARK TERRAIN
EFFECTS. HARD TO TELL AT THIS POINT BUT WITH THE LLJ BACKING LATER
THIS EVENING...STG MCON/LIFT WL CONCENTRATE FM NRN AR/SRN MO INTO
SRN IL AIDED BY LOW LVL FRONTOGENETICAL FRCG AND DIVERGENCE ALOFT
WITHIN THE ULJ ENTRANCE RGN.  PROLONGED AND ELONAGATED FRCG IN THIS
ZONE ALONG WITH CELL MOTIONS NEARLY PARALLELING THE SFC BNDRY AND
VERY MOIST AND BOUYANT AIR SUGGEST THE POTNTL FOR SOME LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL.  THIS HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE FCST FOR SE MO/XTRM
SW IL.  DEPENDING ON THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY WE CUD ALSO SEE THE
POTENTIAL FOR MARGINALLY SVR ELEVATED HAILERS LATER TNGT.

RAPIDLY CHANGING AND POTENTIALLY ACTIVE SVR WX DAY IS BECOMING A
CONCERN FOR TUES.  THE MODELS CONT TO SHOW DEVIATIONS IN THE TRACK
OF THE DEEPENING SFC LOW...AND AS ELUDED TO YDA...THIS HAS BIG
IMPACTS ON THE TEMPERATURES ON TUES AS WELL AS HOW FAR NWD THE WARM
SECTOR AND INSTABILITY WILL SPREAD.  ONE THING THE MODELS HAVE
AGREED UPON IS THE SFC LOW WILL INITIALLY BE SLOWER MOVING ACRS THE
REGION...WITH AN 18Z LOW PSN STILL IN MO.  ATTM WE FAVOR A NOD
TOWARDS THE SLIGHTLY MORE NWD PSN OF THE GFS WITH THE SFC LOW
TRACKING RAPIDLY NEAR A KJLN-KJEF-KIJX TRACK. ALTHO THE INSTABILITY
IN THE WARM SECTOR WILL BE MARGINAL...THE STRENGTH OF LOW AND DP
LAYER SHEAR...STG WIND FIELDS...AND STG DYNAMIC FORCING HAVE US
CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE STORMS...SPCLY
FM ECNTRL/SE MO INTO SCNTRL AND SW IL DURING THE MORNING INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON. ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEEPENING SFC LOW AND IN THE WAKE
OF THE CDFNT...STG AND GUSTY WNW WINDS WILL USHER VERY COLD AIR INTO
THE REGION.  THE MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS COLDER TREND AND
BRINGING SUB-FREEZING AIR INTO THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT ON
TUES...WITH A BRUTALLY HARD FREEZE AND END TO ANY GROWING ON THUR
MORNING.  I HAVE MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF A LTL SNOW IN THE XTRM
NE MO/WC IL AREAS LATE TUESDAY AFTEROON AND A LOW CHC EVEN FURTHER
SOUTH ON TUESDAY NIGHT.  A BLUSTERY COLD DAY ON TAP FOR WED WITH CAA
CONTG...LOW CLOUDS AND TEMPS STRUGGLING TO RECOVER.

EXTENDED...
NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DOMINATE THE EXTENDED FORECAST WITH A SERIES OF
SHORTWAVES AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONTS MOVING ACROSS THE MIDWEST.
REINFORCING SHOTS OF CANADIAN AIR WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR
NORMAL. BEST FORCING WILL RESIDE ACROSS NORTHERN PLAINS AND GREAT
LAKES REGIONS...RESULTING IN LITTLE IF ANY CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
ACROSS CWA.
