Area forecast discussion, Sep 4, 6:24 PM CDT, 2 hours 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
624 PM CDT THU SEP 4 2008

.DISCUSSION...
/150 PM CDT THU SEP 4 2008/
GUSTAVS EXTRATROPICAL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE NORTHEAST
AWAY FROM THE AREA THIS EVENING WITH ISO RAIN SHOWERS COMING TO
AN END FROM WEST TO EAST. WILL BE CLEARING THE REMAINDER OF THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH SHORTLY AS HEAVY RAINFALL IS OVER.

CLOUDS WILL BE SLOW TO CLEAR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING AS A WET
BOUNDARY LAYER AND CYCLONIC FLOW WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN A DECK OF
STRATUS. MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE SOUTHEAST ZONES WILL
BE THE LAST TO CLEAR OUT FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WEAK COLD ADVECTION AND
CLOUD COVER SHOULD PUT A SERIOUS DENT INTO TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS
IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S EXPECTED...NEAR THE MET GUIDANCE.

NEXT SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE BEGINS TO AFFECT THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT
AS CLOUD COVER INCREASES FROM THE WEST. STILL INCLINED TO KEEP THE
WEEKEND DRY...GIVEN LACK OF ANY DECENT FORCING AND DRIER ATMOSPHERE
THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF GUSTAV. TEMPERATURE
FORECAST IS A CLOSE REFLECTION OF MET GUIDANCE.

EXTENDED...
BEST CHANCE OF MEASURABLE RAINFALL WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY
AS A STRONGER SHORTWAVE WILL SEND A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA. HAVE MAINTAINED CHANCE POPS...AND ONLY TWEAKED TEMPERATURES
SLIGHTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR FRONTAL POSITION ON MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY BEFORE ANOTHER
FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE REGION LATE NEXT WEEK. I BUMPED
TEMPERATURES UP A FEW DEGREES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS FLOW VEERS
FROM EAST TO SOUTH.

VISBYS WILL LAST AS TEMPS BEGIN TO DROP OFF. VISBYS MAY STAY VFR

REGARDLESS OF VISBYS...EXPECT IFR CIGS TO DEVELOP/PERSIST
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE NIGHT. CIGS SHUD IMPROVE TO VFR BY MID
