AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
340 PM CST WED JAN 12 2005
.DISCUSSION...
QUICK DISCUSSION TODAY DUE TO ACTIVE WEATHER...
COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM NEAR KIRKSVILLE TO JUST NORTHWEST OF IS
GOING TO CONTINUE MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE EVENING AND COLD
AIR WILL RUSH IN BEHIND IT. VERY MOIST AIR HAS BEEN STREAMING
INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND SEVERE CONVECTION HAS BROKEN
OUT IN PARTS OF CENTRAL MISSOURI. THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD LESEN
AS THE EVENING WEARS ON AND COME TO AN END LATE THIS EVENING AS
THE COLD FRONT PASSES. HEAVY PRECIPITATION THREAT CONTINUES FOR
THIS EVENING AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS PWAT VALUES ARE BETWEEN 150
AND 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL. STRONG LOW LEVEL JET AND EXCELENT
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE/FRONTAL SCALE FORCING IS SURE TO CREATE
HEAVY PRECIPITATION. MODEL SOUNDINGS DO NOT INDICATE AS MUCH OF
A FROZEN/FREEZING PRECIPITATION THREAT IN THE COLD AIR AFTER
FROPA AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT...SO I HAVE TONED DOWN THE WORDING
ACCORDINGLY.
PRECIP SHOULD CLEAR OUT WED MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON AND THEN THE
BOTTOM FALLS OUT ON THE TEMP FORECAST. COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM AND ITS BACK TO
WINTER.
