.DISCUSSION...
/229 AM CST FRI DEC 26 2008/

MAIN CONCERN DEALS WITH POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. DO NOT PLAN ANY CHANGES TO
GOING FLASH FLOOD WATCH WHICH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE CWA
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY.

MODELS ARE IN GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LOWER SECTION OF WRN
CONUS LONGWAVE TROUGH LIFTING NEWD ACROSS MO/IL THIS WEEKEND.
GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE NAM WHICH HAS HAD GREAT CONTINUITY THE PAST
24 HOURS AND ALSO FOLLOWS THE OTHER MODELS BETTER THAN THE SLIGHT
FASTER AND DEEPER GFS. WITH THIS SAID...THE TREND THE PAST FEW
RUNS HAS BEEN FOR A SLIGHTLY SLOWER EWD PROGRESSION WITH THIS
STORM SYSTEM...SO DELAYED LIKELY/CATEGORICAL POPS ENTERING THE ERN
PART OF THE CWA TONIGHT AND HELD ON TO THESE SAME HIGH POPS OVER
THE WRN PART OF THE CWA TOMORROW.

WEAK SHORTWAVE RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCING THE LIGHT PRECIPITATION
CURRENTLY OVER THE CNTRL/SWRN IL AND ERN MO WILL LIFT QUICKLY
NORTHEAST OF THE CWA BY 12Z. AFTER 12Z...NAM IS DEPICTING A DECENT
AMOUNT OF 925-850 MOISTURE CONVERGENCE OVER THE SRN AND ERN PART
OF THE CWA...SO WILL CONTINUE CHC OF SHRA IN THIS AREA...BUT JUST
SLGT CHC WITH SOME DRIZZLE OVER THE NWRN CWA WHERE THERE MAY BE
SOME SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH. WEAK MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE WITH BE FOUND ACROSS THR WHOLE CWA BY LATER THIS
AFTERNOON WITH SOME WEAK INSTABILITY TO GO WITH SCT SHRA/ISOLD
TSRA. PRECIP CHANCES JUMP TONIGHT AS LARGE SCALE ASCENT INCREASES
AHEAD OF APPROACHING TROUGH. BEST CHANCES AND HIGHEST THREAT FOR
HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT WILL LIKELY BE OVER THE WRN CWA WHERE
STRONG CONVERGENCE WILL EXIST ALONG COLD FRONT WHICH WILL BE
REACHING CNTRL AND NERN MO AROUND 12Z. HOWEVER...THE THREAT FOR
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL EXIST ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA TONIGHT BECAUSE
925-850MB MOISTURE CONVERGENCE CAUSED BY BROAD 60KT LOW LEVEL JET
WILL BE FOUND OVER THE ENTIRE REGION ALONG WITH PWATS AROUND 1.5
INCHES WHICH ARE VERY HIGH FOR LATE DECEMBER. HEAVY RAINFALL
THREAT WILL THEN TRANSLATE EWD FROM THE WEST TO EAST ON SATURDAY
AS COLD FRONT MOVES EAST AND EXITS THE CWA DURING THE AFTERNOON.
ANY HEAVY RAINFALL ON SATURATED OR FROZEN GROUND WILL TURN
IMMEDIATELY INTO RUNOFF WHICH COULD CAUSE FLASH FLOODING.

IN ADDITION TO THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT...THERE REMAINS THE CHANCE FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WHICH COULD PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER.  SEVERE
THREAT THROUGH 12Z LOOKS TO BE CONFINED TO CNTRL MO LATE TONIGHT
WHERE 400-800 J/KG MUCAPES WILL BE JUXTAPOSED WITH IMPINGING COLD
FRONT. CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE OVER THE SERN HALF
OF THE CWA ON SATURDAY PER SWODY2 WHERE LIMITED INSTABILITY WILL
BE AS COLD FRONT MOVES EASTWARD. STRONG CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
FRONT AND 50KT 0-1KM SHEAR ALIGNED ALONG THE FRONT FAVORS LINEAR
CONVECTION... THOUGH ISOLATED SUPERCELLS ARE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF SHEAR.

DO STILL EXPECT RAIN TO CHANGE TO SNOW SATURDAY EVENING AS LOW LEVEL
THERMAL PROFILES FALL BELOW FREEZING IN COLD AIR ADVECTIO.  SOME
LIGHT ACCUMULATION OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE OVER NERN MO/W CNTRL IL
WHICH WILL BE ON ERN EDGE OF DEFORMATION ZONE DEPICTED BY THE NAM.
HAVE KEPT ACCUMULATIONS UNDER AN INCH AS 500MB VORT TRACK AND
LOCATION OF 700MB FRONTOGENESIS FAVORS THE BEST SNOWFALL STAYING
WEST AND NORTH OF THE CWA.

.AVIATION...
/1203 PM CST FRI DEC 26 2008/
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...

QUITE A RANGE OF CIGS ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING WITH DENSE
FOG ACROSS PORTIONS OF SRN IL...VFR IN CENTRAL MO AND A COMBO OF
MVFR AND IFR ELSEWHERE. AT THE SAME TIME A STOUT 50+ SSWLY LLJ IS
CONTRIBUTING TO MARGINAL CONDITIONS FOR LLWS. THINK THE GENERAL
TREND FOR THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE FOR CIGS TO LOWER INTO AND
TOWARDS THE LOW END OF THE MVFR CAT. THINKING THAT PCPN WILL BE
RATHER SPOTTY AT BEST. SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON WITH IFR CIGS GRADUALLY TAKING
HOLD TONIGHT. MAIN PCPN THREAT SHOULD BE AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN
WDSPRD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL AND WESTERN MO AND SPREAD EWD DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. WDSPRD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ON SAT. I
HESITATED TO PUT THUNDER IN THE MAIN BODY OF THE TAF ON SAT...BUT
IT IS QUITE LIKELY THERE WILL BE THUNDER OFF AND ON ALL DAY.
