.DISCUSSION...
EXTENSIVE AREA OF CNVTN FROM S MO INTO E TX AND LA HAS PLAYED
HAVOC WITH THE RETURN OF THE WARM AIR TODAY...SPCLY AT THE SFC.
FROM NW AR INTO S MO...MOIST SW LO LVL FLO IS INTERACTING WITH
COLD DOME CREATED BY PCPN EARLIER IN THE DAY...CAUSING SHWRS TO
REGENERATE FROM S OF SGF INTO FAM AREA. THINK THIS TREND WL GRDLY
WKN OVR THE NXT FEW HRS AS LO LVL JET BECOMES REFOCUSED/REESTABLISHED
OVR PLAINS.

WHILE SOME SPOTTY TSRA MAY CONT OVRNIGHT IN THE WAA OCRG ACR THE
REGION...THINK PRIMARY PCPN THRT BE WITH THE ISENTROPIC LIFT/MSTR
ADV ASSOC ON THE NOSE OF THE LO LVL JET. GENESIS REGION SHUD BE
SOMEWHERE FROM E CNTRL KS INTO NW MO...AND ONCE CNVTN GETS GOING
IT SHUD RACE ENE WITH STG MID LVL FLOW. ATTM FEEL THAT THIS
ACTIVITY WL JUST BE CLIPPING THE FAR NW SECTION OF OUR CWA...BUT
IF GENESIS REGION IS FURTHER S THRT WL BE FURTHER INTO OUR AREA.
PRIMARY THRT WITH THESE ELEVATED STORMS...IF THEY DO AFFECT OUR
AREA...SHUD BE LARGE HAIL.

LARGE MCS SHUD BE ONGOING ACR E NE AND IA BY 12Z MON...WITH SOME
OF THIS ACTIVITY POSSIBLY CLIPPING OUR N AREAS. HWVR...THE MAIN
THRT OF INTENSE CNVTN WL OBVIOUSLY BE TMRW AFTN AND TMRW NGT AS
MAIN TROF MOVES INTO THE PLAINS AND CDFNT BGNS PUSHING E.
SEVERITY OF THE STORMS WILL ULTIMATELY BE DETERMINED BY AMT OF
AVAILABLE INSTABILITY...WHICH 12Z MODELS ARE A BIT MORE ROBUST
WITH BOTH DUE TO STEEPER MID LVL LAPSE RATES AND GREATER WARMING
OF THE SFC AMS.  SHEAR PROFILES ARE ALSO BCMG A BIT LESS
LINEAR...WHICH MAY MEAN THAT CNVTN WONT GO INTO A SQUALL LINE
QUITE AS FAST AS FIRST EXPECTED.

ON THE PCPN FRONT...EVEN THOUGH THE STORMS WILL BE FAST MOVING
THEY WILL BE VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCERS. NORMALLY IN THIS
SITN FLASH FLOODING IS NOT A MAJOR CONCERN...BUT WITH THE
EXTREMELY SATURATED GROUND IT WILL BE THIS TIME. HV ISSUED A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FOR THOSE AREAS WHERE GROUND CONDITIONS ARE MOST
CRITICAL...BGNG IN CNTRL MO BY MIDDAY MON AND OVR E CNTRL AND SE
MO AND S IL 00Z TUE.  12Z MODELS ARE MAINTAINING THE TIMING OF
CDFNT THRU REGION...WHICH MEANS RAIN WL BE COMING TO AN END BY
ARND DAYBREAK TUE.

FOR THE RMNDR OF THE SHORT TERM AND INTO THE MEDIUM RANGE CHGS TO
GOING FCST FAIRLY MINOR. AFTER DRY WX TUE AND INTO ERY WED...IT
APRS NXT SYSTEM WILL BRING A GOOD CHC OF MORE TSRA TO BULK OF THE
AREA...AND SCPLY TO S SECTIONS WHICH DOESNT NEED ANY MORE WET WX.
HOPEFULLLY...WE SHUD HV A COUPLE OF DRY DAYS LATE IN THE WORK WEEK
AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...
IFR/LIFR CIGS ALL ACROSS THE BI-STATE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. LOOKS
LIKE THERE COULD BE A FEW BREAKS UP INTO MVFR HERE AND
THERE...BUT I THINK WELL MAINLY KEEP CIGS AOB FL009. VSBYS HAVE
MAINLY BEEN IN MARGINAL RANGE WITH A FEW IFR SPOTS IN
SHOWERS...SOME VSBY IMPROVEMENT POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL MO THIS
AFTERNOON AS IT LOOKS LIKE SOME WARMER AIR IS TRYING TO INFILTRATE
FROM THE SOUTH. HOWEVER...THINK ANY IMPROVEMENT WILL BE SHORT
LIVED AND WELL SEE THE MVFR VSBYS RETURN THIS EVENING.
PRECIPITATION THREAT LOOKS TO BE MINIMAL EXCEPT FOR SOME LIGHT
SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. I EXPECT AN INCREASE IN
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LATE TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET
RAMPS UP ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MISSOURI INTO WEST CENTRAL
ILLINOIS. TIMING IS DIFFICULT TO NAIL DOWN...BUT IT STILL LOOKS
LIKE IT MIGHT HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 09Z.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN AND
CENTRAL MISSOURI AS WELL AS WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A LARGE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL TRACK EAST TODAY...MAINLY
ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70. EXPECT BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...
SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.

BY TONIGHT...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER CENTRAL
AND NORTHEAST MISSOURI...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE MAIN THREAT
WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS ACROSS THE REGION ON
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE
PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL ACROSS THE ENTIRE BI-STATE
REGION.

THE WAVES OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN DUE TO
UNSEASONABLY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR WHICH WILL MOVE OVER THE BI-
STATE AREA. ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO TELL EXACTLY WHERE
THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL FALL...THE DEVELOPING WEATHER PATTERN IS
ONE THAT MAKES FLOODING A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY IN SOME AREAS.

THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
THURSDAY...AND THURSDAY NIGHT.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS ARE ASKED TO REPORT ANY HAIL...HEAVY RAIN...OR STRONG
WINDS THAT THEY OBSERVE THROUGH TONIGHT.
