AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
257 PM CST FRI FEB 15 2008

.DISCUSSION...
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SINK TO THE SOUTHEAST
OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. IN THE MEANTIME... MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN
THE SHORT TERM IS STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL AFFECT THE REGION BEGINNING
SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. FOR TODAY...CLOUDS HAVE CLEARED OUT
OF NORTHERN PORTIONS OF CWA WITH TEMPS RANGING FROM THE MID 20S TO
MID 30S.

FOR TONIGHT...CLOUDS WILL REMAIN OVER SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA WITH LOW
TEMPS AROUND 10 DEGREES FAR NORTH TO UPPER 20S FAR SOUTH.

ON SATURDAY WILL SEE CLOUDS ON THE INCREASE AS MOISTURE STREAMS
NORTHWARD BACK INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM. 12Z MODEL
RUNS CONTINUE TO SLIDE SFC LOW A LITTLE FURTHER TO OUR WEST AS IT
MOVES THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE LOW TRACKS FROM EASTERN
TEXAS INTO NORTHEAST OK BY 06Z SUN...THEN INTO EAST CENTRAL
MO...JUST NW OF ST. LOUIS BY 12Z SUN. THIS CONTINUES TO SET UP A
NICE TROWAL STRUCTURE BUT NOW IT IS FURTHER WEST OVER WESTERN
MO...WITH HEAVIEST SNOW BAND FROM NORTHEASTERN KANSAS THROUGH
NORTHWESTERN MO...THEN NORTHEASTWARD TO SOUTHEASTERN WI. ANOTHER
QUESTION IS SPEED OF SYSTEM...MODELS INDICATE CLOSED LOW AT 500MB TO
OPEN UP AND BEGIN TO LIFT SYSTEM RAPIDLY TO THE NORTHEAST DURING THE
DAY ON SUNDAY. THIS COULD LOWER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS IF THIS OCCURS.

SO FOR NOW WILL HAVE SHOWERS DEVELOPING AND MOVING INTO CENTRAL MO
BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...THEN QUICKLY SPREAD OVER ENTIRE REGION
SATURDAY EVENING. HAVE RAISED POPS TO CATEGORICAL SATURDAY NIGHT AND
SUNDAY MOST LOCATIONS...WITH HEAVY RAIN BEST BET SATURDAY NIGHT...SO
HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 00Z SUN TO 18Z SUNDAY. THIS
WILL BE AGGRAVATED BY SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL...
ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF CWA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.

ON SUNDAY...THE RAIN TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST. COULD SEE BETWEEN 2 TO 5 INCHES IN NORTHERN 2
COUNTIES...KNOX AND LEWIS. JUST SOUTH OF THIS AREA...MAINLY ALONG
AND NORTH OF A COLUMBIA TO PITTSFIELD LINE...COULD SEE 1 TO 2 INCHES.

SNOW TO COME TO AN END BY MONDAY MORNING WITH RIDGE BUILDING IN ONCE
AGAIN. BY LATE TUESDAY RIDGE TO MOVE OFF TO OUR EAST ALLOWING
SOUTHERLY WINDS TO RETURN ONCE AGAIN AND SEE TEMPS WARM UP INTO THE
LOW 30S TO LOW 40S TUESDAY...AND UPPER 30S TO LOWER 50S ON WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY. EXTENDED MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE ANOTHER SYSTEM TO
AFFECT AREA BEGINNING WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SO HAVE RAISED POPS TO LOW
CHANCE CATEGORY FOR REMAINDER OF FORECAST PERIOD...WITH RAIN A GOOD
BET.

BYRD

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...
HIGH PRESSURE COVERED THE MIDWEST LATE THIS MORNING AND WAS CENTERED
OVER IA. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST DURING THE PERIOD,
AND BY SATURDAY NOON WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE OH VALLEY. WINDS WILL
