OTHER PARTS OF THE FA UNTIL AFTERNOON...WITH THE FOCUS THEN
RESUMING IN THE NWRN FA.

TEMPS WILL LIKELY REMAIN NEAR STEADY FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH
THE POSSIBILITY OF A LOSS OF A FEW MORE DEGREES OVER THE NEXT FEW
HRS...BUT WITH BETTER SLY GRADIENT WINDS KICKING IN...MUCH MORE OF
A DROP IS UNLIKELY...EVEN WITH LESS CLOUDS FORECAST FOR MANY AREAS.

EDGED TEMPS UP A BIT FOR TOMORROW...WITH SOME SUN EXPECTED TIL ERY
AFTN AND BASED ON TEMPS TODAY...LOOK FOR WIDESPREAD LOWER-MID 70S
ON SUNDAY SAVE THE FAR NRN AND ERN FA.

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERN FOCUSES ON THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVER
THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...AND ALSO ON THE POTENTIAL FOR
ACCUMULATING SNOW MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. LOOKS LIKE A MESSY LATE
WINTER/EARLY SPRING SYSTEM HEADING OUR WAY.  GFS/NAM/ECMWF HAVE
CONTINUED TO SHOW A SLOWER PROGRESSION WITH THE TROUGH CURRENTLY
OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST LIKE THE MIDSHIFT TALKED ABOUT. MODELS
AGREE THAT THIS TROUGH WILL SPLIT WITH NRN STREAM SHORTWAVE
MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WHILE THE SRN PART OF THE
TROUGH CLOSES OFF OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND MOVES ACROSS
THE MID MS VALLEY/MID SOUTH ON TUESDAY. 12Z RUN OF GFS WAS FARTHER
NORTHWEST THAN THE 12Z NAM...WITH THE 12Z ECMWF A GOOD COMPROMISE
IN THE MIDDLE...SO WILL RELY ON IT.

IN THE SHORT TERM...TEMPERATURES HAVE CLIMBED IN THE 60S OVER THE
SWRN HALF OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON ONCE SKIES CLEARED AND
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS BEGAN MIXING DOWN WARMER TEMPERTURES. HAVE
INCREASING CLOUDS OVERNIGHT AS A 40KT LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS
ADVECTING GULF MOISTURE NORTHWARD. INCLUDED MENTION OF ISOLATED
SHRA OVER ENTIRE CWA TOMORROW AS BOTH THE GFS/NAM GENERATES SOME
SMALL QPF OVER REGION IN AREA OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE/THETA-E ADVECTION 12-18Z. DO SHOW INCREASED CHANCES
FOR SHRA/TSRA OVER THE NWRN CWA TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS FORCING
INCREASES IN ADVANCE OF FRONT. LIKE TODAY...SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
WILL HELP MIX DOWN +9 TO 12C 850MB TEMPERATURES. HAVE  HIGHS
AROUND 70 OVER MUCH OF THE AREA TOMORROW WHICH SHOULD BE THE LAST
WARM DAY THIS WEEK.

LARGE SCALE FORCING WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY ON SUNDAY NIGHT GIVEN
APPROACH OF TROUGH...RIGHT ENTRACE REGION OF THE JET AND LOW LEVEL
FORCING.  AS MENTIONED ABOVE...MODEL TREND AS BEEN FOR SLOWER TROUGH
PROGRESSION SO SLOWED DOWN ONSET OF PRECIPITATION.  HAVE ADDED
MENTION OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE SRN HALF OF THE CWA
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY GIVEN IMPRESSIVE QPF TOTALS FROM GFS/ECWMF
AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS AROUND 1.25 INCHES. WILL BE ISSUING A
HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK TO HIGHLIGHT THIS.  WILL ALSO SEE A SLOW
TURNOVER FROM RAIN TO SNOW WITH SOME INTERVENING SLEET FROM THE
FAR NORTHWEST LATE SUNDAY NIGHT TO THE SOUTHEAST CWA SOMETIME
MONDAY AFTERNOON.

UPPER LOW WILL THEN MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION BY LATE MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.  ECWMF DOES SHOW DECENT MID LEVEL FRONTGENESIS/
NEGATIVE EPV VALUES WITH SOME INDICATION OF A TROWAL MOVING ACROSS
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA DURING THIS TIME...SO CHANCES OF AN
ACCUMULATING SNOW LOOK TO BE INCREASING AND WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS IN
THE HWO.

DID NOT MAKE MUCH CHANGE TO THE EXTENDED PART OF THE FORECAST
(TUESDAY NIGHT - WEDNESDAY) BECAUSE OF CONTINUED MODEL
INCONSISENCIES.  USES A COMBINATION OF THE GFS MEAN AND 00Z ECMWF
FORECASTS WHICH MOVE UPPER LOW AFFECTING OUR AREA EARLY IN THE WEEK
QUICKLY EASTWARD...FOLLOWED QUICKLY BY ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH/
ACCOMPANYING SFC FRONT OVER THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY.  NOT A GREAT DEAL
OF MOISTURE FOR THIS SYSTEM TO WORK WITH...SO STILL ONLY HAVE SLGT
CHC POPS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND DRY THE REST OF THE
WEEK.  USED A COMBINATION OF PERSISTENCE...HPC GUIDANCE
AND GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN MOS FOR TEMPERATURES.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 06Z TAFS...WARM SOUTHERLY WINDS TO PERSIST THROUGH FORECAST
PERIOD AHEAD OF NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM. THIN CIRRUS SHIELD TO REMAIN
OVERHEAD WITH SC DEVELOPING OVER ARKANSAS AS WARM MOIST AIR FLOWS
NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF. THESE CLOUDS WILL SLOWLY ADVECT INTO
MISSOURI MOVING INTO KCOU...KSTL AND KSUS BY 14Z AND KUIN BY 15Z.
BUT WILL NOT SEE CIGS THICKEN AND LOWER TO MVFR TIL LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND DURING THE EVENING. IN THE MEANTIME...SOUTHERLY WINDS
TO PICKUP WITH GUSTS TO 25KTS AT TIMES BY MID MORNING. CHANCES OF
PCPN REMAIN VERY SLIM...SO FOR NOW ONLY HAVE PROB30 GROUPS IN FOR
KCOU AND KUIN FROM 02Z TO 06Z MONDAY.
