Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 6:25 PM CDT, 3 hours 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
625 PM CDT WED APR 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...
PRIMARY CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN...RIVER
FLOODING AND FLASH FLOODING STARTING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...AND THEN
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY
EVENING AS THE DRYLINE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.

COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WERE EVIDENT ON THIS MORNINGS
UPPER 850MB CHART.  DEWPOINTS IN EXCESS OF 12C WERE ALREADY MOVING
NORTHWARD OUT OF CENTRAL TEXAS ON A 30KT LOW LEVEL JET AT 12Z.  ALL
MODEL GUIDANCE IS PRETTY CONSISTENT THAT THIS HIGH OCTANE AIR WILL
BE UP INTO MISSOURI AND SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS BY 12Z THURSDAY MORNING.
A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND WARM ADVECTION IS
ALSO EVIDENT OVER THE CWFA FUELED BY 50-60KT LOW LEVEL JET.  THE
CONSENSUS OF THE GUIDANCE WOULD INDICATE THAT ELEVATED CONVECTION
SHOULD OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE THIS
EVENING...AND SHOULD CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT.  GIVEN THE
HIGH AMOUNT OF ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AVAILABLE TO THESE STORMS
OVERNIGHT...HEAVY RAIN STILL LOOKS VERY LIKELY.  WIDESPREAD 2 TO 3
INCH TOTALS WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS STILL LOOK GOOD ACROSS THE
AREA BY THE TIME THE RAIN COMES TO AN END THURSDAY NIGHT.

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT ON THURSDAY CONTINUES TO BE CONTINGENT ON
HOW UNSTABLE THE ATMOSPHERE CAN BECOME AFTER THE RAINFALL WERE
EXPECTING TONIGHT.  NAM IS FORECASTING SOME WEAK MUCAPE OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT...BUT WITH 50KTS OR BETTER OF 0-6KM BULK SHEAR...I CANT
RULE OUT SOME LARGE HAIL WITH SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.  THE MAIN SHOW STILL LOOKS TO BE AHEAD OF THE
DRYLINE LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. 50-70KTS OF
0-6KM BULK SHEAR ALONG WITH MLCAPE IN EXCESS OF 1500J/KG AT TIMES
WILL BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR SUPERCELLS...IF ITS REALIZED.  IF RAIN
KEEPS THE ATMOSPHERE TOO COOL TOMORROW...WE MAY NOT GET ANY SEVERE
WEATHER...VERY MUCH LIKE WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.  BUT FOR NOW...AM
STICKING VERY CLOSE TO THE NAM FORECAST WHICH HAS THE NUMBERS
REFERENCED ABOVE.

LITTLE CHANGE TO REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST...WHICH STILL LOOKS
UNSEASONABLY COOL.  MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DIG A DEEP TROF EAST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER WHICH WILL KEEP THE AREA IN COOL NORTHWEST FLOW
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

CARNEY

&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 00Z TAFS...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY EARLY THIS
EVENING. BOUNDARY WILL LIFT NORTHWARD TONIGHT AS A WARM FRONT. FRONT
WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY
AFTER MIDNIGHT. CEILINGS WILL LOWER DURING THE EVENING INTO MVFR
CATEGORY.
