.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 228 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2008

PROBLEM OF THE DAY IS THE CONVECTION TONIGHT AND SATURDAY
MORNING...THEN SOME INSTABILITY SHOWER PCPN ON SUNDAY...AND
FINALLY FRONTAL PCPN ON THURSDAY TO FRIDAY.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
MAIN SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN MSAS DATA OVER CENTRAL IL. IN
MOISTURE CHANNEL SATELLITE IMAGERY...A NUMBER OF WAVE OF UPPER LEVEL
IMAGERY ARE SEEN. MAIN UPPER SYSTEM OVER SOUTHERN CANADA ROTATING
SOUTH TOWARD ND. IN THE PLAINS...LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION LEFT BEHIND
A NUMBER OF WEAK VORTEX SYSTEMS...WITH ONE MOVING EAST OVER
NORTHWEST IL. A MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE SEEN MOVING EAST OVER
CENTRAL IA...WITH A MCV ON THE IL/IA BORDER. THIS SYSTEM IS THE
MAIN TRIGGER FOR THE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF IT IN VERY
UNSTABLE AIR OVER EAST MO AND IL. THOUGH HAD MORNING PCPN THAT
MOVED THROUGH AND STABILIZED AIRMASS...CLOUDS IN VISIBLE IMAGERY
HAVE THINNED AND ALLOWED HEATING IN MO AND WESTERN IL. SEVERAL
STORMS ALREADY DEVELOPED IN THE INSTABILITY AND ON LEFT OVER
BOUNDARIES FROM MORNING CONVECTION. EXPECT STORMS TO CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP INTO EVENING AND OVERNIGHT ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE MCV AND
AHEAD OF FRONT. FRONT FINALLY CLEARS BY SATURDAY MIDDAY.

FOR SUNDAY...UPPER LEVEL COLD LOW IN GREAT LAKES AND INSTABILITY
SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN UNSTABLE AIRMASS.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
MODELS LOOK PRETTY MUCH IN AGREEMENT FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
HOWEVER FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THEY THEN DIVERGE. NORTHWEST UPPER
LEVEL FLOW WILL BE DOMAINATE FOR THE MONDAY TO WEDNESDAY
PERIOD...KEEPING THE AREA DRY. NO CHANGES TO THE GRIDS FOR THOSE
DAYS. FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THOUGH...GFS IS MUCH SLOWER ON A COLD
FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVING SOUTHWARD...WITH EUROPEAN BRINGNING FRONT
THROUGH CWA INTO OH VALLEY BY SAT MORNING. NCEP GUIDANCE APPEARS TO
BE MORE GOING WITH GFS. I LIKE THE MORE AGRESSIVE EUR...SO WNET MORE
WITH A BLEND...BRINGING PCPN CHANCES INTO THE REGION FOR THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. LINGERED THE PCPN
FOR FRIDAY OVER SOUTHERN 2/3 TO TRY AND BELND THE TWO MODELS.

VFR WILL BE THE PREDOMINANT WX IN BETWEEN PERIODS OF CONVECTION.
MAIN CONCERN IS WITH STORMS BEGINNING TO FIRE UP INVOF OLD MCV
OVER NORTHEASTERN MISSOURI. ALSO NOTE SOUTHWESTERLY WIND SHIFT
MOVING AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. REDEVELOPMENT OF STORMS OVERNIGHT
ALONG COLD FRONT IS QUESTIONABLE ESPECIALLY IN THE FAR
WEST...WENT WITH PROB30 GROUPS FOR NOW.
