.DISCUSSION...
IT IS THE WAITING GAME AT THIS POINT. THE RATHER STG QSTNRY FRONT
EXTENDS FROM NR THE OH RVR WNW THRU SRN IL...BI-SECTING THE STL
METRO AREA...TO THE NORTH OF KCOU TO JUST NORTH OF KMCI. MOISTURE
HAS POOLED ALONG THIS BNDRY...AND THIS MOISTURE ALONG WITH STEEP
MID LVL LAPSE RATES AND STRONG SFC HEATING HAS RESULTED IN VERY
UNSTABLE CONDS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BNDRY. SBCAPES ARE AOA 3000
J/KG AND THE STG SFC HEATING HAS REDUCED CIN TO BLO 25 J/KG ALG
THE BNDRY FM NR KCOU INTO SW IL. HI RES STLT IMAGERY IS SHOWING
ENHANCED CU IN THIS REGION AND THIS MAY BE THE GENESIS REGION FOR
ONE BATCH OF STG-SVR STORMS. ALSO EXPECTING ADDITIONAL STORMS TO
DEVELOP IN NW MO ALONG THE BNDRY AND IN ADVANCE OF A SHRTWV
MOVING INTO ERN KS ATTM. ALL IN ALL...EXPECTING A VERY ACTIVE
NIGHT SPANNING THE I-70 CORRIDOR WITH SVRL STG-SVR MCSS TRAVERSING
THE REGION. A BROAD SWLY LLJ PROVIDING FORCING AND FEEDING UNSTBL
AIR INTO THE FRONTAL ZONE SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONTD UPWIND
CONVECTIVE GROWTH...AND TRAINING ALONG THE BNDRY. INCREASINGLY
MOIST AIR AND DEEP WARM CLOUD DEPTHS AOA 4KM ARE FAVORABLE FOR
HIGH RAFL RATES. THUS THIS COMBO OF HIGH CONVECTIVE RAFL RATES AND
PROLONGED HEAVY RAFL VIA TRAINING POINT TO THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH
FLOODING. A FFA HAS BEEN ISSUED WITH THIS PACKAGE.
RAIN COOLED AIR AND BLDG HIGH PRES TO THE NORTH WILL FORCE THE
BNDRY SOUTH TNGT AND INTO SRN MO AND SRN IL BY DAYBREAK ON SUN.
THE LATEST GUID CONTS TO SHOW SUPPORT/FRCG FOR ELEVATED SHRA/TSRA
ON SUNDAY FROM I-70 SOUTHWARD IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL ZONE...AND
THUS HAVE BUMPED UP THE POPS A BIT. EARLY ON IN THE MORNING THIS
CUD BE A CONTINUATION OF THE EXPECTED ACTIVITY TNGT AND EVENTUALLY
SUN MRNG NEW GROWTH IN THE COOL SECTOR. ALL OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD
EVENTUALLY SINK TO THE SOUTH OF THE CWA ON SUN NGT WITH HI PRES
BLDG INTO THE REGION. THE GUID...SPCLY GFS IS SHOWING QUITE A BIT
OF POST-FRONTAL CLOUDINESS AND IT IS HARD TO ARGUE AGAINST IT IN
LIGHT OF THE CLOUDS ACRS IA AND NRN IL. THE NEW FCST HAS MORE
CLOUDS THAN BEFORE BUT IS NOT QUITE AS PESSIMISTIC AS THE
GFS...WITH IMPROVING CONDS ON MON.
AS FIRST ADVERTISED YDA...UPR TROFG IN THE ERN U.S. IS FCST TO BE
MORE PRONOUNCED NEXT WEEK MAINTING SFC HI PRES THRU THE MS VLY.
THIS HAS LEAD ME TO BACK AWAY FROM THE PRVS POPS AND GO WITH A
MAINLY DRY FCST WITH NEAR SEASONABLE DAYTIME TEMPS AND MINS A BIT
BLO NORMAL. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH LATE WED NGT-THURS FOR THE
RETURNING WARM FRONT AND ELEVATED MOISTURE RETURN FOR PCPN
