...ICE STORM TAKING AIM ON NORTHERN MISSOURI AND WEST CENTRAL 
ILLINOIS...

.SO FAR TODAY ONLY SPOTTY FREEZING RAIN HAS BEEN REPORTED ACROSS 
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND EXTREME SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.  HOWEVER...REGIONAL 
RADAR DATA INDICATES THE FREEZING RAIN IS INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND 
INTENSITY OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.  THIS 
HEAVIER PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INTO NORTHEAST MISSOURI AND WEST 
CENTRAL ILLINOIS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING 
HOURS...PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF BETWEEN 
ONE-QUARTER AND ONE-HALF INCH.   

FURTHER SOUTH...FROM MID MISSOURI INTO SOUTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS...THE 
PRECIPITATION WILL BE A BIT MORE HIT AND MISS AND TEMPERATURES WILL 
BE CLIMBING ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY 
EVENING. THESE FACTORS WILL LIMIT THE ICE ACCUMULATION THREAT IN THESE
LOCATIONS.

...ICE STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM CST FRIDAY...

A SIGNIFICANT ICE STORM IS EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSOURI AND
WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS. FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING
THE AFTERNOON...AND CONTINUE WELL INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS WITH AMOUNTS OF ONE QUARTER TO ONE
HALF INCH ARE A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY. TRAVEL WILL BECOME VERY DIFFICULT AS
UNTREATED ROADS WILL BE TREACHEROUS. THE WEIGHT OF THE ICE ON
OVERHEAD LINES MEANS THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR POWER AND
TELEPHONE OUTAGES...ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE DUE TO
FALLING BRANCHES AND LIMBS.

AN ICE STORM WARNING MEANS THAT ONE-QUARTER INCH OR MORE OF ICE
IS EXPECTED TO ACCUMULATE ON UNTREATED SURFACES...SUCH AS
SIDEWALKS...DRIVEWAYS...ROADS AND PARKING LOTS. THE ICE WILL MAKE
TRAVEL EXTREMELY DIFFICULT...IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IF TRAVEL IS
NECESSARY...MAKE SURE TO EXERCISE CAUTION. BEGIN YOUR TRAVEL WITH
A TANK FULL OF GAS...AND CARRY A WINTER STORM KIT WHICH INCLUDES
A SHOVEL...FLASHLIGHT...CELLPHONE...AND BLANKETS OF EXTRA WARM
CLOTHING.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
319 AM CST THU DEC 18 2008

.DISCUSSION...
/320 AM CST THU DEC 18 2008/

UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA/NEVADA WILL FILL AND
MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE PLAINS AS AN OPEN
SHORTWAVE BY TONIGHT. MEANWHILE...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY
MOVE EAST FROM THE MIDWEST INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. STRONG WARM
ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE WILL TRANSPORT GULF MOISTURE NORTH
OVER THE COLD DOME OF AIR AT THE SURFACE AND PRODUCE A LARGE AREA OF
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL
SLOWLY WARM ABOVE FREEZING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TODAY AND
TONIGHT...WITH THE THREAT OF FREEZING RAIN BECOMING LIMITED TO
NORTHEAST MISSOURI AND WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS BY LATE EVENING.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS CERTAINLY MORE STUBBORN TO MOVE EAST THAN
WHAT I THOUGHT LAST NIGHT AND THIS SLOWER PROGRESSION WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING LONGER. RADAR ECHOES ACROSS
OKLAHOMA...ARKANSAS AND EXTREME SOUTHERN MISSOURI ALREADY
APPEARING THIS MORNING AND WOULD EXPECT THIS AREA TO MARCH NORTH
WITH TIME WITH LIGHT QPF BEFORE 18Z OCCURRING GENERALLY ACROSS
OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI.

PRECIPITATION SHOULD REALLY RAMP UP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS
SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT INCREASES AND 50KT LOW LEVEL JET BRINGS
UNSEASONABLY HIGH MOISTURE NORTH...

GIVEN COLDER SCENARIO OUTLINED ABOVE...OUR FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES
MAY ONLY CLIMB TO 32 OR 33 DEGREES DURING THE ENTIRE EVENT. AN
ICE STORM WITH SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATION OF UP TO ONE HALF
INCH IS NOW EXPECTED ACROSS THIS AREA AND AN ICE STORM WARNING
WILL BE ISSUED WITH THIS PACKAGE.

FURTHER SOUTH...THE FREEZING LINE WILL ADVANCE NORTH SLOWLY
TRANSITIONING THE FREEZING RAIN TO RAIN...AND THUS LIMITING ICE
ACCUMULATION...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70.

HAVE REINTRODUCED SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE FORECAST FOR
TONIGHT AS ALL MODEL GUIDANCE DEPICTS 100-300 J/KG OF CAPE WITH
TREMENDOUS FORCING. THUNDER FREEZING RAIN IS A VERY REAL
POSSIBILITY TONIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH.

COLD FRONT WILL PROGRESS ACROSS THE CWA BY 12Z FRIDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES SLOWLY FALLING THROUGH THE DAY. NOTHING EXTREME...AS
FRONT WILL BE MORE PACIFIC IN NATURE...BUT A COOL DAY NONETHELESS.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO ARCTIC COLD FRONT THAT WILL PLOW ACROSS THE
CWA SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS FRONT MEANS BUSINESS...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 20 TO 30 MPH AND GUSTS TO 40 MPH. THIS ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES
DROPPING LIKE A ROCK WILL LEAD TO WIND CHILL VALUES WELL BELOW
ZERO SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. HAVE KEPT CHANCE POPS FOR SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH MUCH OF THE CWA LOOKS TO REMAIN DRY AS
AREA IS DRY SLOTTED WITH SNOW TO OUR NORTH AND MORE RAIN TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST.

A VERY COLD SUNDAY IS EXPECTED...WITH A GRADUAL WARMING TREND
INTO NEXT WEEK AS THE ATMOSPHERE MODIFIES. STILL LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER WEAK STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION TUE/WED.

.AVIATION...
/320 AM CST THU DEC 18 2008/

IFR CEILINGS CONTINUE TO MARCH NORTH AS STRONG WARM ADVECTION
AHEAD OF NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM COMMENCES. PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO
GRADUALLY EXPAND NORTH WITH TIME FROM SOUTHERN MISSOURI THIS
MORNING AND IMPACT ALL TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
FREEZING RAIN WILL TRANSITION TO RAIN AT KCOU...KSTL AND KSUS BY
EARLY EVENING AS SURFACE TEMPERATURE RISES ABOVE FREEZING. FURTHER
NORTH AT KUIN...PRECIPITATION IS LIKELY TO REMAIN FREEZING RAIN
FOR MAJORITY OF THE EVENT. CERTAINLY COULD BE A FEW RUMBLES OF
THUNDER AROUND TONIGHT AS ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS INDICATED ON
MODEL SOUNDINGS.
