EJECTS EASTWARD FROM THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN ROCKIES THIS EVENING AND
LIFT IS ENHANCED BY THE RIGHT-ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER JET
STREAK EXPECT RAINFALL INTENSITY TO PICK UP ACROSS THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN CWA. INSTABILITY ALSO TO INCREASE LATE TONIGHT AS
AN APPROACHING JET STREAK HELPS TO STEEPEN MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN THIRD OF THE CWA. IN
ADDITION...LATEST SATELLITE TRENDS WHERE LIFT IS STRONGER TO THE
SOUTH...INDICATE UPWARDS OF AN INCH OR MORE PER HOUR RAINFALL RATES
IN SOME AREAS. WITH WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF RAIN
EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE...AND POSSIBILITY FOR
INCREASING RAINFALL RATES/EMBEDDED CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH DAYBREAK SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY-FRIDAY/...
MODELS HAVE TRENDED TO A FASTER MOVEMENT OF THE RAIN SHIELD OUT OF
OUR AREA SATURDAY MORNING...WITH MAX LIFT PROCESSES SHIFTING EAST
AND NORTHEAST. SO HAVE LOWERED POPS...EXCEPT MAINTAINED HIGH
PERCENTAGES IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE DAY...AND LOWERED THE
EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS. HOWEVER...SATURDAY WILL STILL BE MILD AND
MUGGY AS WE AWAIT THE NEXT COLD FRONT WHICH IS NOW DELAYED ABOUT 6
HOURS AND WILL COME THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SUNDAY...BUT
DIFFERENCES HAVE ARISEN ONCE AGAIN WITH THE EXACT PATH THE REMNANTS
OF HURRICANE IKE WILL TAKE. THE GFS HAS SHIFTED THE PATH FARTHER
NORTH...TAKING THE CENTER OVER ST LOUIS...AND GIVES OUR SOUTHEAST
COUNTIES ADDITIONAL RAINFALL. HOWEVER...THE BULK OF OUR MODEL SUITE
KEEPS ANY SIGNIFICANT RAIN THREAT FROM IKE REMNANTS SOUTHEAST OF OUR
AREA. WE WILL KEEP A MODEST CHANCE OF RAIN FOR THE FAR SOUTHEAST
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY TO ALLOW FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF IKES PATH
BRINGING RAIN THAT FAR NORTH.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT SUNDAY...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE AND
MAKE IT FEEL LIKE AUTUMN. TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY RISE 5 TO 10
DEGREES WHILE THE AIRMASS DRIES OUT QUITE A BIT. WILL BE SETTING UP
FOR A CHILLY NIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE RIDGE BUILDS IN. SFC HIGH
PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND
BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS SUPPOSED TO BUILD
OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. THIS WILL FAVOR A WARMER AND DRY PATTERN. SO
HAVE TRENDED DAYTIME TEMPERATURES UP A FEW DEGRESS...BUT NOT AS WARM
AS THE GFS GUIDANCE WOULD SUGGEST. WILL STILL HAVE SEASONALLY COOL
NIGHTS IN THE MID 40S TO MID 50S.

&&

.AVIATION...12/18Z
RAIN CONTINUE TO PROGRESS NORTHWARD HAVING ALREADY MOVED INTO
KDSM/KOTM...AND EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO KFOD/KALO/KMCW THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO IMPACT
THE KOTM/KDSM LOCATIONS...BUT MAY SNEAK INTO KALO AS WELL. CIGS
CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN IFR/MVFR SO HAVE TRIED TO CAPTURE THAT
IN THE TAFS...WITH VSBYS MAINLY IN THE MVFR RANGE WHERE IT IS
RAINING AND VFR WHERE IT REMAINS DRY. ENDED PRECIP MAINLY TOWARD
DAYBREAK...BUT DO EXPECT LOW STRATUS TO LINGER THROUGH THE MORNING
AT MOST LOCATIONS. SCALED BACK MENTION OF THUNDER ONLY TO
KOTM...WHERE MODELS NOW PROJECTING THE BETTER AXIS OF INSTABILITY.

.DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...FLASH FLOOD WATCH SERN HALF OF
