AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 1230 PM CDT WED JUL 30 2008 .DISCUSSION... /332 AM CDT WED JUL 30 2008/ PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE RAIN/FLOODING THREAT FOR THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS AS DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF DOLLY PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS THE MIDWEST. AM NOT PLANNING ANY CHANGES TO FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS JUNCTURE EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS THAT THE MAIN THRUST OF THE HEAVY RAIN WILL PROBABLY MISS THE NORTHERN-MOST COUNTIES IN THE WATCH. PRECIP PATTERN HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO FORECAST AT BEST...AND IM NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH THAT IT WONT RAIN HEAVILY ENOUGH TO CAUSE PROBLEMS UP THERE BEFORE THE WATCH EXPIRES. THOUGHT ABOUT EXPANDING THE WATCH FURTHER SOUTH FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...BUT CONVECTION OVER SOUTHWEST MO/SOUTHEAST KANSAS LOOKS TO BE WEAKENING AT THIS TIME...AND THERES STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN MY MIND AS TO HOW THIS WILL ALL WORK OUT. WHILE RAIN CERTAINLY LOOKS LIKELY OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...HEAVY RAIN IS NOT AS CERTAIN...AND FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE LEVELS ARE UP TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR OR MORE IN SOME SPOTS OUTSIDE THE CURRENT WATCH AREA IN SOUTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL MISSOURI. OPERATIONAL MODELS CONTINUE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH MOVING DYNAMICAL LIFT AWAY FROM THE AREA BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON SO HAVE BROUGHT THE RAIN TO AN END BY 00Z FRIDAY. HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS STILL LOOK LIKELY THIS WEEKEND AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA. HAVE MADE VERY FEW CHANGES OT IN THAT RANGE AS PREVIOUS FORECAST TRENDS STILL LOOK VERY GOOD. CARNEY && .AVIATION... /1225 PM CDT WED JUL 30 2008/ FOR THE 18Z TAFS... REMNANTS OF DOLLY/LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST/SOUTHEAST FROM NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...WITH SHOWERS AFFECTING KCOU...KSTL AND KSUS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE NOT INCLUDED THUNDER IN THE TAFS BECAUSE EFFECTIVE BOUNDARY HAS SETTLED ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS. CEILINGS WILL VARY GREATLY WITH IFR EXPECTED IN STEADY STRATIFORM RAIN SHIELD. IF CLOUDS CAN CLEAR OUT TONIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH...FOG WILL CERTAINLY BE POSSIBLE GIVEN WET GROUND CONDITIONS. CVKING && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. IL...NONE. && WFO LSX
