AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1247 PM CDT SUN MAY 6 2007

.DISCUSSION...
ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX MAY WEATHER PATTERNS I HAVE EVER SEEN IS
TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE NATION. AN UPPER RIDGE/OMEGA BLOCK RUNS
FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY NORTH INTO THE CANADIAN
HUDSON BAY AREA. ON THE WEST SIDE AN EXTREMELY DEEP TROUGH
ELONGATED THROUGH THE ROCKIES IS FORECAST TO SPLIT ITS ENERGY INTO
HALF WITH THE SOUTHERN HALF AFFECTING OUR WEATHER FOR THE REST OF
THE WEEK. IT WILL SLOWLY MEANDER EAST...REACHING CENTRAL ARKANSAS
ON SATURDAY.

A TREMENDOUS HIGH PRESSURE CENTER OVER EASTERN CANADA IS FORECAST
TO DROP STRAIGHT SOUTH INTO THE EASTERN U.S. DRY COOL AIR
ASSOCIATED WITH IT IS FORECAST TO PRESS WESTWARD AS FAR AS THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS WILL TAKE THE
HUMIDITY OUT OF THE AIR...ESPECIALLY IN ILLINOIS. DEWPOINTS ARE
FORECAST TO TUMBLE INTO THE MIDDLE 40S TONIGHT EAST OF THE RIVER.

AN INTENSE PRECIPITATION PRODUCIING SYSTEM HAS EVOLVED JUST TO OUR
WEST FROM KANSAS INTO EASTERN NEBRASKA...WESTERN IOWA...AND
NORTHWEST MISSOURI. IVE BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF OMAHA...THEY HAVE
5.14 INCHES SO FAR TONIGHT AND STILL RAINING A HALF INCH AN HOUR
WITH THE BEST RAINS YET TO COME TODAY AND TONIGHT. NORTHWEST
MISSOURI NORTH OF KANSAS CITY IS GETTING POUNDED. STORM TOTALS
THERE SHOW 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN HAVE FALLIN IN THE PAST FEW HOURS.

THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT FORECAST AGAIN. I HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR
TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY IN NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI BUT KEEP IT IN
WESTERN COUNTIES DUE TO THE EXTREMELY DRY AIR MOVING IN FROM THE EAST.

LOOKING AHEAD...MIDWEEK...AS THE UPPER TROUGH DRIFTS CLOSER WE CAN
EXPECT INCREASED CLOUDS AND AT LEAST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.

PEDIGO

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...
THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THE LARGE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IN NW MO IS
MAKING SOME EASTWARD MOVEMENT AND HAS GENERATED NEW DEEP CONVECTION
ON ITS LEADING EDGE. THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH A THREAT
OF TSRA AT KCOU AROUND 20Z. CONFIDENCE IS LESSER IN KUIN AS LOW
LEVEL EASTERLY WINDS ARE ADVECTING DRIER AIR AND THE AIR MASS IS
MORE STABLE. ELSEWHERE THE BAND OF MVFR CIGS FROM THE ST LOUIS
AREA SOUTHWARD IS SHRINKING ON ITS NORTHERN FRINGE AND SHOULDNT
BE MUCH OF A FACTOR AFTER 19Z. DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
WESTWARD ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT WITH VFR CONDS PREVAILING. THINK
WE COULD SEE SOME MVFR CONDITIONS DEVELOP OVERNIGHT IN CENTRAL MO
DUE TO ANTICIPATED PCPN THIS AFTERNOON AND HIGHER SFC DPTS IN THAT
AREA.
