.AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 00Z TAFS

COMPLEX OF TSRA ACRS IL WILL MOVE E ACROSS TAF SITES THRU 05Z OR SO.
HAVE TRIED TO TIME BEST TIMES FOR TSRA AT THE SITES AND WILL AMEND
AS NECESSARY...ESPECIALLY IF TSRA CONTINUE LONGER THAN EXPECTED AS
SOME MODELS HINT AT. PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN ATMS COULD PRODUCE IFR OR
LOWER VSBYS IN +RA...AND WIND GUSTS AOA 30KT POSSIBLE IN TSRA. AFTER
PRECIP ENDS SHUD BE A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS THRU 10-13Z OR SO. VFR
CONDS THEN EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

FCST FOCUS ON PRECIP CHCS TONIGHT.

NO MODEL IS HANDLING THE UPSTREAM MO WAVE AND ASSOCIATED PRECIP AS
WELL AS HOPED.  WILL USE SIGNALS OF PRECIP CHCS FROM MET/MAV MOS
TONIGHT ALONG WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS SUCH AS PWS/INSTABILITY
FOR AMOUNTS OF PRECIP. IN A NUTSHELL...COMPLEX SFC PATTERN
HIGHLIGHTED BY A MYRIAD OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IS LEADING TO LOW
CONFIDENCE ON FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING. FIRST
GUESS IS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN THIRD NEAR THE OUTFLOW FROM EARLIER
STORMS. HOWEVER...UPSTREAM MO WAVE AND CONVECTION WILL MOVE EAST
WITHIN THE 850-300MB FLOW INTO AN INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE IL
ATMOSPHERE THIS EVENING...THUS IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE IS A RISK
FOR CONVECTION ACROSS AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.  EXCESSIVE RAIN POTENTIAL DOES EXIST DUE TO
PWS AROUND 2 INCHES AND INCREASING INSTABILITY WHICH IS FCST TO
PERSIST THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT. UPPER DIV WILL ALSO BE PRESENT AHEAD OF
THE SFC BOUNDARY TONIGHT. ANOTHER CONCERN WAS THE WAVE WHICH IS
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SUBTROPICAL MONSOON PLUME WHICH WILL RIDE ALONG
THE WESTERLIES ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. LIMITING FACTOR IS
UNFAVORABLE ORIENTATION OF THE 850MB WINDS WHICH ALTHOUGH ARE FCST
TO BACK THIS EVENING ARE STILL WNW IN WAKE OF THE MORNING WAVE.
CURRENT THOUGHTS POINT TOWARD SOUTHERN MO/IL AND SOUTHERN IN FOR
POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION THIS EVENING.

AS MENTIONED...FORCING TONIGHT WILL ARISE FROM LIFT AHEAD OF THE
WAVE ACROSS MO ALONG WITH DYNAMIC LIFT AHEAD OF THE 700-500MB UPPER
TROUGH. HIGH PWS WITHIN SUBTROPICAL PLUME ALONG WITH UPPER DIV AND
EXPECTED INSTABILITY SHOULD PROVIDE THE SETTING FOR THUNDERSTORMS
WHICH ARE EFFICIENT AT PRODUCING HVY RAINS. MET/MAV MOS BOTH SHOW
LIKELY OR CATEGORICAL POPS AND WILL LEAVE THE CURRENT FCST AS IS.
SOME SVR RISK ALSO EXISTS AS INCREASING SHEAR INTERACTS WITH
INCREASING INSTABILITY ACROSS THE REGION AHEAD OF THE MO WAVE THIS
EVENING.

LINGERING PRECIP SHOULD EXIT THE AREA BY MIDDAY SUNDAY AS DRIER AIR
ARRIVES ON NW WINDS.  MOS IS VERY CLOSE TO THE CURRENT FCST MAX
TEMPS AND WILL LEAVE THE CURRENT NUMBERS AS IS.

MONDAY AND BEYOND...CONDS STILL APPEAR DRY FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK
WITH THE NEXT FRONT EXPECTED TO TRY AND DROP INTO THE AREA NEXT FRI
OR SAT.
