AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1115 AM CDT FRI AUG 24 2007

.DISCUSSION...
SEVERAL CONCERNS THIS MORNING INCLUDING HEAT...SEVERE WEATHER AND
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL.

WILL NOT REISSUE ANY HEAT HEADLINES AS CURRENT FORECAST HOURLY
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS RESULT IN HEAT INDICES ONLY MAXING OUT
AROUND 100 DEGREES IN METRO ST. LOUIS.  OBSERVING SITE IN THE CITY
SHOWED THAT CRITERIA WAS MET OR FELL JUST SHORT OF 105F THE PAST
THREE DAYS. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES WILL BE HINDERED BY CONVECTIVE
DEBRIS FROM MCS OVER NRN MO AND KS AS WELL AS ANY TSRA
REDEVELOPING OVER NRN AND CNTRL MO LATER TODAY. CURRENT DEWPOINTS
OVER THE SERN HALF OF THE CWA ARE IN THE MID 60S...AND GFS MOS AND
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT THEY WILL AGAIN MIX OUT INTO THE
LWR-MID 60S IN THESE SPOTS. WILL HOWEVER CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT
TODAYS HEAT IN THE HWO.

GFS AND NAM IS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MASS FIELDS WHEN
REMOVING BIASES OF CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK.  USED A COMBINATION OF THE
GFS AND SREF MEAN FOR THE POSITION OF THE FRONT WHICH WILL SLOWLY
MOVE SWD ACROSS THE CWA FROM 12Z THIS MORNING UNTIL MIDDAY
SATURDAY.  ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME VERY MOIST WITH PWATS FROM 2 TO
2.5 INCHES WHICH SHOULD ALLOW FOR TSRA TO BE EFFICIENT
PRECIPITATION PRODUCERS. THERE WILL BE DECENT SYNOPTIC AND
MESOSCALE LIFT CAUSED BY THE FRONT INTERSECTING A 30-40KT LOW
LEVEL JET UNDER THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF JET STREAK. HAVE GONE
WITH LIKELY/CATEGORICAL POPS OVER THE NWRN HALF OF THE CWA
TODAY...AND SHIFTED THE LIKELY POPS SEWD TONIGHT. FFG VALUES ARE
QUITE HIGH...WITH MOST COUNTIES 3 HR VALUES ABOVE 3.5 INCHES...SO
DO NOT SEE THE NEED TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS POINT AND
WILL INSTEAD MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THERE IS ALSO A
SEVERE THREAT TODAY TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT GIVEN FORECAST
MLCAPES AOA 2000 J/KG AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 30-40KTS. MAIN
CONCERN WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN RELATIVELY DRY MIXED LAYER TO
THE SOUTH OF THE PRECIPTATION.

FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THE CWA TOMORROW AFTERNOON...ENDING THE CHANCE OF
RAIN. USED A COMBINATION OF SREF MEAN AND GFS MOS FOR TEMPS.
