AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1143 AM CST TUE NOV 28 2006

.DISCUSSION...

...MAJOR WINTER STORM TO AFFECT REGION THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...

THE UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER OF LATE WILL BE REPLACED WITH MORE
WINTER LIKE TEMPERATURES AS A POWERFUL COLD FRONT IS POISED TO
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. INITIALLY THE
COLD AIR WILL BE SHALLOW BEHIND THE FRONT...LEADING TO
PRECIPITATION TYPE ISSUES AS MODEL GUIDANCE DEPICTS QUITE A BIT OF
POSTFRONTAL QPF. INITIALLY A FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET MIXTURE WILL
OCCUR...BUT AS THE ARCTIC AIR MASS BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THE WINTRY MIX WILL TURN TO SNOW
FROM WEST TO EAST AS A DEFORMATION ZONE SETS UP ACROSS THE REGION.
SIGNIFICANT ICE AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR WITH THIS STORM
SYSTEM...THE ONLY REAL QUESTION IS EXACTLY WHERE?

CWA TO REMAIN IN WARM SECTOR AND SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURE REGIME CONTINUING. GIVEN
WARM CONVEYOR BELT IS ALREADY WELL ESTABILISHED WITH GULF WIDE
OPEN...ANY SHORTWAVE RIPPLING ALONG WILL CAUSE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. SIMILAR TO WHAT IS OCCURRING EARLY THIS
MORNING.

SURE THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE EXACT TIMING OF THE FRONT AND
DEPTH OF COLD AIR BETWEEN THE GFS AND NAM...BUT I WOULD EXPECT THAT
IN A 48HR MODEL FORECAST. THE BOTTOM LINE IS...BOTH MODELS REVEAL
THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT ICING EVENT ON THURSDAY FOLLOWED
BY A CLASSIC HEAVY SNOW SCENARIO FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AS A WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND MOVES SOUTH
AND THEN EAST OF THE CWA.

THE DETAILS OF THIS FORECAST CLOSELY FOLLOW THE NAM...GIVEN ITS
ABILITY TO CAPTURE AND FORECAST THE THERMODYNAMIC STRUCTURE OF THE
THOSE LOWEST AND MOST CRITICAL LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.

PLAN ON UPDATING THE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT...AND INCLUDE STRONG
WORDING IN THE HWO THIS MORNING. BEING AS SYSTEM WILL NOT AFFECT THE
CWA UNTIL 5TH AND 6TH PERIOD...FEEL IT IS A LITTLE PREMATURE TO
ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH

CVKING

&&

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...
GUIDANCE HAS BEEN OVER-DOING THE LOW LEVEL RELATIVE HUMIDITY A BIT
THE LAST FEW DAYS...BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE THE DAY TO GO AHEAD
AND START MARGINAL CIGS IN THE FORECAST. THERES A PRETTY LARGE
AREA OF MARGINAL AND INSTRUMENT CONDITIONS SOUTH OF THE AREA IN
OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS...AND INCREASING FLOW AHEAD OF THE
WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY FROPA SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO FINALLY DRAG THOSE
CIGS NORTHWARD INTO OUR AREA. ALREADY SEEING MARGINAL CONDITIONS
IN PARTS OF WESTERN MISSOURI...SO THIS LOOKS LIKE A DECENT
ASSUMPTION. ISOLATED/WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN COVERAGE WILL PROBABLY INCREASE
AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA.

...WINTER STORM POSSIBLE LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THURSDAY...AND
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...

AN ARCTIC AIRMASS IS NOW ENTRENCHED OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
SOUTHERN CANADA.  THIS VERY COLD AIRMASS WILL BE PULLED INTO THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY BEHIND A
POWERFUL COLD FRONT. TEMPERATURES on THURSDAY WILL TUMBLE 30
TO 40 DEGREES FROM THE MILD READINGS OF THE PAST WEEK...WITH
THE MERCURY DROPPING INTO THE 20S AND LOWER 30S BY THURSDAY
EVENING.

WHILE THE COLD AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA...A WAVE OF ENERGY WILL SWEEP
OVER THE REGION.  THIS MAY SET THE STAGE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
FREEZING OR FROZEN PRECIPITATION...BEGINNING IN NORTHEAST AND
POSSIBLY CENTRAL MISSOURI LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND SPREADING INTO
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS THURSDAY EVENING.
THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS MAY OCCUR
IN SOME AREAS...DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW
FREEZING...AND HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION OCCURS AFTER THE
TEMPERATURE DIP BELOW 32 DEGREES.

AFTER THIS FIRST WAVE OF ENERGY PASSES...ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. THURSDAY NIGHT.  BY
THIS TIME...THE AIRMASS WILL BE COLD ENOUGH THAT THE PRECIPITATION
WILL BE ALL SNOW...AND ACCUMULATING SNOWFALLS MAY OCCUR IN SOME
AREAS.

THIS STORM SYSTEM IS STILL DEVELOPING OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
AND THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.  THERE ARE STILL MANY UNCERTAINTIES SUCH AS
TIMING...LOCATION OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION AND THE DEPTH OF
THE COLD AIR OVER THE AREA. ALL OF THESE FACTORS ARE CRITICAL TO
FORECASTING THE TYPE AND AMOUNT OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION THE AREA
RECEIVES.

WHILE THE SPECIFICS FOR A GIVEN AREA ARE STILL UNKNOWN...
THE LATEST FORECAST INFORMATION STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT ADVERSE
WINTER WEATHER IS ON THE WAY FOR PARTS OF THE CENTRAL U.S.
TRAVELERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL BE IMPACTING
AREAS FROM OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS...THROUGH NORTHERN ARKANSAS...
MISSOURI...ILLINOIS AND SOUTHERN IOWA...INTO INDIANA AND MICHIGAN.

ON THIS DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM. UPDATED FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS
