AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
215 PM CDT FRI SEP 22 2006

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE THAT THERE WILL BE AN EXTENDED
THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDING TORNADOES FROM THIS AFTERNOON...
THROUGH TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW.  REFER TO LATEST SWODY1 AND SWOMCD
FOR UPDATED DETAILS.  HAVE CONTINUED TO FAVOR THE GFS OVER THE NAM
BECAUSE IT CONTINUES TO LINE UP BETTER WITH THE OTHER MODELS.  NAM
IS DEEPER THAN THE OTHER MODELS...AND IT IS NOW SLOWER THAN THE
GFS AS OPPOSED TO YESTERDAY.

LIKE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...IT WILL BE TOMORROW UNTIL THE
COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF A WELL DEFINED
SHORTWAVE...SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT ANY TIMING TO ONGOING
SEVERE WEATHER.  LATEST LOOK AT THE WATER VAPOR SHOWS THREE
IMPULSES IN THE FAST MOVING MID-UPPER LEVEL WSWLY FLOW...ONE OVER
KS...ANOTHER OVER CO AND ANOTHER OVER UT...THAT WILL SUPPLY MODEST
LARGE SCALE ASCENT THE NEXT 24 HOURS. LEVEL JET WILL CONTINUE TO
FEED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE REGION...AND DEWPOINTS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 65-70F RANGE IN THE WARM SECTOR. MLCAPES
THIS AFTN AND EVENING WILL RANGE FROM 1000 IN THE NRN COUNTIES TO
2500 IN AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-70...AND REMAIN RELATIVELY HIGH
OVERNIGHT. AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY ON SATURDAY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON
HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION IS ONGOING IN THE MORNING...BUT GFS DEPICTS
SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY SUPPORTIVE OF CONTINOUS VIGOROUS
DEVELOPMENT. CURRENT CLUSTER OF SVR...POSSIBLY TORNADIC
SUPERCELLS OVR CNTRL/SERN MO WL CONTINUE TO PUSH NEWD IN THE
SHORT TERM. BOUNDARIES FROM THIS CLUSTER AS WELL AS MODEST
CONVERGENCE ALONG A FRONT OVR NERN AND CNTRL MO WILL CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE EVENING. BOTH THE
NAM/GFS HAVE A SFC LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT BY 12Z SATURDAY
MORNING IN RESPONSE TO UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE THAT WILL ALSO ACT AS
FOCUS FOR STORMS. SO THE CURRENT THINKING IS THAT WE WILL SEE
CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF CLUSTERS OF STORMS...INCLUDING LINE
SEGMENTS PRODUCING SEVERE WINDS AND FAST MOVING...LONG LIVED
SUPERCELLS...GIVEN 0-6KM SHEAR OF 60-80KTS...WELL INTO THE THE
NIGHT AND AGAIN TOMORROW. LOW LCLS AND VERY STRONG 0-1KM SHEAR
WILL LAST THROUGH THE PERIOD SUGGESTING THE CONTINUED POTENTIAL
FOR TORNADOES.

WILL GO WITH THE IDEA THAT THE CHANCE OF TSRA AND ACCOMPANYING
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRAUDALLY END AS THE FRONT MOVES SEWD
TOMORROW AFTN AND TOMORROW EVENING.  MODELS STILL SHOW A DECENT
AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CYCLONIC CURVATURE OVER THE AREA ON
SUNDAY...SO HAVE KEPT THE MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WITH A SLIGHT CHC
OF SHRA.  LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THEN DRIES UP SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY
UNDER LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE.

NGM MOS TEMPS LOOKED A BIT WARM COMPARED TO THE ETA AND GFS MOS FROM
TOMORROW ON...SO USED A BLEND OF THOSE TWO PLUS PERSISTENCE.

FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD (MONDAY NIGHT - FRIDAY)...LONGWAVE H500 TROF
WILL BEGIN THE PERIOD OVER ERN NOAM...AND THANKS TO A REINFORCING
STRONG SHORTWAVE DIGGING OUT OF CANADA...WILL RETROGRADE SOME TO THE
NRN/CNTRL MS VALLEY BY MID WEEK. GFS/NOGAPS ADVERTISE A DEEPER TROF
THAN THE ECMWF/CMC. WITH EXPECTED PASSAGE OF H500 TROF AXIS BY
THURSDAY...RESIDUAL PIECES OF ENERGY WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER FOR
ANOTHER 24HRS OR SO BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO A NWLY FLOW REGIME. AT
THE SFC...A WEAK RIDGE IS JUST E OF THE FA AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD WITH SOME MOISTURE/INSTABILITY RETURN AHEAD OF APPROACHING
CDFNT BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. CDFNT IS THEN EXPECTED TO MOVE THRU THE
FA DURING THE DAYTIME WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH CANADIAN HI
PRES THEN BUILDING IN FOR LATE WEEK. BUMPED UP POPS SOME TO 20-30PCT
FOR THE PERIOD FROM LATE TUESDAY NIGHT TO THURSDAY AS CONFIDENCE HAS
INCREASED FOR THE MID WEEK EVENT...MAINLY CENTERED AROUND THE CDFNT.
HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL STRONG SHORTWAVES REINFORCING MEAN H500 TROF
POSITION FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...AND A SLOWING DOWN LO
LEVEL CDFNT...HAS INCREASED THE POSSIBILITY FOR POST-FRONTAL PCPN TO
DEVELOP PER THE GFS MODEL. TEMPS WILL BE AOA NORMAL FOR THE EARLY
PART OF THE PERIOD...BUT THEN TRANSITION TO BLO NORMAL FOR LATE WEEK
WITH PRESENCE OF DEEP H500 TROF AND STRONG CANADIAN HI.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...A SPECIAL 16Z SGF SOUNDING INDICATES THE WARM
SECTOR AIR MASS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AS IT MOISTENS
AND HEATS...CAPE WAS IN EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG. THIS INSTABILITY
CONTS TO DEVELOP NEWD AS MOISTURE SURGES TO THE NE AHEAD OF THE
SFC BOUNDARY DRAPPED FROM NE MO THRU WRN MO INTO SE OK. STORMS ARE
ALREADY FIRING SW OF KCOU AND EXPECT OVR THE NEXT HR OR SO...CONTINUED
DEVELOPMENT IN ADVANCE OF THE BOUNDARY. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD
QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE AND WL MOVE TO THE ENE AROUND 50 MPH. THINK
ACTIVITY WL REMAIN SOUTHEAST OF KUIN. REMAINDER OF THE TAF SITES
SHOULD HAVE A PERIOD OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
FOLLOWING THE GFS MODEL SOLN THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE EAST AND
THEN WE SHOULD SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF STG-SVR THUNDERSTORMS EARLY
SAT MRNG SPREADING NEWD IN ADVANCE OF A SFC LOW.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN AND
CENTRAL MISSOURI AS WELL AS WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

...ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK WILL CONTINUE...

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH TONIGHT.

AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS POSITIONED ACROSS THE REGION COMBINED WITH
STRONG WIND SHEAR THOUGH A DEEP LAYER OF THE ATMOSPHERE...WILL
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH TONIGHT.  SEVERAL DIFFERENT ROUNDS OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT. LONG LIVED SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED...AND THESE WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS...
VERY LARGE HAIL...AND STRONG TORNADOES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON SATURDAY.
THE FIRST ROUND WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF SEVERE STORMS LEFT
OVER FROM LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...AND THIS MAY PERSIST THROUGH MID TO
LATE MORNING.  ADDITIONAL SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM MID
AFTERNOON ON SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.  THE STORMS ON
SATURDAY WILL BE CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES.

ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
ENTIRE REGION ON WEDNESDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND STORM SPOTTER GROUPS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR
AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SPOTTER ACTIVATION.
