AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1150 PM CST THU JAN 11 2007

.UPDATE...
HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT TO REFLECT ONGOING
PRECIPITATION TRENDS. AREA OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS HAS MOVED OFF TO
THE EAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...SO AREA IS PRECIPITATION FREE
CURRENTLY. PERSISTENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND CONVERGENCE
AS WELL AS SOME LOW LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS COMING DEVELOPING OVER THE
NWRN HALF OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT WARRANTS
KEEPING A CHANCE OF RAIN OR DRIZZLE. OTHERWISE...GOING FORECAST
FOR THE IMPENDING ICE STORM STILL LOOKS ON TRACK WITH THE NEW NAM
RUNS.

BRITT

&&

.DISCUSSION...
SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATION BECOMING MORE LIKELY ALONG AND NORTH OF
THE I-44 (MO) AND I-55 (IL) CORRIDOR. WINTER STORM WATCHES TO BE
HOISTED THIS AFTERNOON. CONFERENCE CALL WITH EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND
MEDIA SCHEDULED FOR 230 PM.

COLD FRONT RAPIDLY MOVING SOUTH WITH +5MB PRESSURE RISES ACROSS THE
PLAINS. MODELS PLAYING CATCH UP TO THE STRENGTH OF THIS ARCTIC
AIRMASS AND FORECAST IS TRENDING TOWARD MORE WINTER PRECIPITATION
ACROSS NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE CWA...STARTING AS SOON AS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

ALOFT...TROF WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS WITH
SEVERAL SHORTWAVES EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE PLAINS ACROSS THE
MIDWEST THIS WEEKEND. MAIN TROF THEN EXPECTED TO LIFT OUT AND
AFFECT THE CWA ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT. SHOWERS WILL BECOME LIKELY AS MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE
ACROSS THE CWA. RIDICULOUSLY WARM TEMPERATURES EXPECTED OVERNIGHT
WITH UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S AHEAD OF THE FRONT. AS STATED BEFORE
MODELS PLAYING CATCH UP WITH COLD AIR AND BELIEVE THERE WILL STILL
BE SOME ADDITIONAL SOUTHWARD ADJUSTMENT TO FRONTAL POSITION AS
ARCTIC AIR MASS IS BETTER SAMPLED. FROPA NOW EXPECTED TO PUSH THRU A
KUIN-KCOU LINE BEFORE 12Z/FRI...THRU KSTL AROUND 16Z/FRI...AND THRU
THE REST OF THE CWFA BY 03Z/SAT. FRONT TO BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY
SOUTH OF THE CWA THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

WITH THIS IN MIND...BELIEVE HIGHEST QPF TO RESIDE ACROSS SRN MO/IL.
ALTHOUGH...AS EACH SHORTWAVE AND ATTENDANT WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
RIPPLES ALONG THE FRONT...PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP FURTHER NORTH
INTO THE SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR MASS. PERIODS OF FZRA AND IP WILL BE
LIKELY...QUESTION IS HOW MUCH ACCUMULATION WILL RESULT.

QUESTIONS ALSO REMAIN ABOUT HOW MAIN SYSTEM WILL PULL OUT LATE IN
THE WEEKEND. TIMING AND STRENGTH ARE KEYS TO THE FORECAST...BUT WITH
ARCTIC AIRMASS CONTINUING TO BUILD ACROSS THE CWA CERTAINLY BELIEVE
CHANCES OF SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATION ARE BECOMING MORE LIKELY
ALONG AND NORTH OF A ROLLA MISSOURI TO LITCHFIELD ILLINOIS LINE.

WE PLAN TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH TO COVER THIS AREA FOR THE
PERIOD FROM TOMORROW AFTERNOON/NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. NEXT FEW
MODEL RUNS SHOULD BETTER CAPTURE SPEED AND DEPTH OF THE COLD AIR
ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARCTIC AIR MASS AND ALLOW NEXT FORECAST SHIFT TO
FINE TUNE THE FORECAST AND ISSUE ANY ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS.

CVKING

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 06Z TAFS...
PRIMARY CONCERN FOR AVIATION INTERESTS FOR THE NEXT 6 HOURS OR SO
WILL BE LOWERING CIGS AS ARCTIC FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA FROM
WESTERN MISSOURI. CEILING HEIGHTS ARE PRIMARILY IN VFR TERRITORY
AT THIS TIME...BUT STILL ANTICIPATING CIGS LOWERING TO MARGINAL
LEVELS THRU THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. COULD ALSO SEE SOME MARGINAL FOG
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO PROGRESSIVELY
MORE HUMID AIR. STILL EXPECTING LIGHT PRECIP TO BREAK OUT AFTER
12Z WITH CONDITIONS GOING IFR EVERYWHERE BY 16-18Z TIME FRAME.
FREEZING RAIN STILL LOOKS LIKE IT WILL START DURING THE AFTERNOON
IN NORTHEAST MISSOURI AND SPREAD DOWN INTO CENTRAL MO BY 00Z
SATURDAY...POSSIBLY INTO EASTERN MO FRIDAY EVENING...BUT HAVE LEFT
MENTION OF FZRA OUT OF ST. LOUIS METRO TERMINALS UNTIL WE GET A
LITTLE BIT BETTER HANDLE ON HOW FAR SOUTHEAST THE SUB-FREEZING AIR
WILL GET.
