NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE PRECIPITATION TYPE AND AMOUNTS
THIS WEEKEND. MODELS ARE IN GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LIFTING
CLOSED LOW CURRENTLY ALONG THE U.S./MEXICO BORDER NEWD AHEAD OF
SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGGING SEWD ACROSS THE CANADIAN ROCKIES. TRACKS
AND TIMING ARE SIMILAR WITH SURFACE/850 MB LOW MOVING ACROSS THE
NWRN PART OF THE CWA ON SUNDAY MORNING. HAVE USED A BLEND OF THE
GFS/NAM/ECMWF MASS FIELDS FOR THIS FORECAST WITH A EMPHASIS ON THE
ECWMF FOR QPF. THIS MAKES FOR ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO GOING
FORECAST.
LARGE AREA OF SHRA/TSRA HAS BROKEN OUT ACROSS THE SRN/CNTRL PLAINS
AND LOWER MS VALLEY EARLY THIS MORNING IN A BROAD AREA OF 925-850MB
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ON THE BACK SIDE OF 500MB RIDGE AXIS. THIS
FORCING WILL SPREAD NEWD TODAY...WITH THE RUC SHOWING INCREASED
LOW LEVEL FORCING REACHING THE CWA BY 18Z. HAVE GONE WITH A DRY
MORNING...BUT HAVE CHC POPS OVER THE SWRN 2/3RDS OF THE CWA AFT
21Z. THEREAFTER...LARGE SCALE ASCENT INCREASES DRAMATICALLY INTO
THE EVENING WITH THE APPROACH OF THE SWRN LOW WITH SUSTAINED LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AS 70KT LOW LEVEL JET TRANSPORTS 1 TO
1.25 INCH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INTO CWA. HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS
TONIGHT WILL LIKELY BE OVER CNTRL/NERN MO AND W CNTRL IL WHERE
THERE WILL BE SUSTAINED LOW CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE 850MB LOW
TRACK UNDER BEST LARGE SCALE AND MESOSCALE ASCENT CAUSED BY MID-
LEVEL TROUGH AND COUPLED JET STRUCTURE. MODEL QPFS HAVE 1.5-2.0
TOTALS BETWEEN 00-12Z TONIGHT WHICH ARE CLOSE TO FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE VALUES. FARTHER SE...QPF TOTALS ARE LESS AS DRY SLOT
WILL WRAP AROUND LOW...AND FFG VALUES ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
HOWEVER...800-600MB DELTA THETA-E VALUES FALL BELOW ZERO
INDICATING THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WHICH COULD PRODUCE
HEAVY RAINFALL. SO WITH ALL OF THIS SAID...WILL LEAVE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH AS IS.
COLD AIR WILL WRAP AROUND LOW AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST OF THE CWA ON
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...SO HAVE KEPT THE SAME IDEA WITH A SLOW CHANGE
OVER FROM RAIN TO SNOW FROM NW TO SE ON SUNDAY. DEFOMATION ZONE
WILL AFFECT THE NRN CWA BRINGING A FEW INCHES OF SNOWFALL BEFORE
IT TAPERS OFF LATE IN THE DAY. FORECAST SOUNDING DO NOT INDICATE
MUCH OF A CHANCE OF PL/FZRA WITH THIS EVENT. WINDS WILL INCREASE
WHICH MAY CAUSE SOME AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW. EXPECT THE CHANCE OF
SNOW TO LINGER SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY UNDER DEEPENING
NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH.
USED A COMBINATION OF THE GFS MOS AND SREF MEAN FOR TEMPERATURES.
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL LIKELY REMAIN STEADY OR SLOWLY RISE IN
SOME AREAS.

CEILING WILL GRADUALY LWR THRU THE DAY AND INTO THE NGT AS LGT RAIN
OVERSPREADS THE CWA FM S-SW TO N-NE WITH THE APPROACH OF THE
UPR/SFC LOW FM THE SRN PLAINS. THE LGT RAIN WILL INTENSIFY THRU
