AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
523 PM CST TUE MAR 4 2008
.DISCUSSION...
WELL IT DIDNT EVOLVE EXACTLY AS EXPECTED...AND THERE WERE SOME
AGONIZING MOMENTS EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT EVERYTHING SYNCHED AS
THE MORNING PROGRESSED AND THE MAJOR STORM MATERIALIZED MUCH AS
FORECAST. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WENT THRU A DEEPENING PHASE THIS MORNING
WITH INCREASING SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT...BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY A NICE
TROWAL DEVELOPED ALONG WITH ATTENDANT STRONG MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS
RESULTING IN A PERISTENT MODERATE-HEAVY SNOW WHICH IMPACTED THE
HEART OF THE ST LOUIS AREA. EARLY ON IT APPEARED THAT THE
INSTABILITY WAS SO GREAT THAT IT WAS CONTRIBUTING TO NUMEROUS
DISTINCT SEPARATE MESOSCALE BANDS. THERE WERE ALSO NUMEROUS REPORTS
OF THUNDER. HOWEVER AS TIME PROGRESSED AND THE INSTABILITY WAS
REALIZED...A DISTINCT DEFORMATION ZONE DEVELOPED WITH A FEW DOMINANT
MESOSCALE BANDS...AND THESE BANDS PRODUCED SNOWFALL RATES EXCEEDING
3 INCHES PER HOUR. THE AXIS OF THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL WAS PRETTY
CLOSE TO WHERE FORECAST DESPITE WAVERING MODEL QPF FORECASTS IN THE
FINAL 36H. THERE APPEAR TO BE 2 MAIN AXIS...ONE NEAR A
CARLINVILLE-GODFREY-CREVE COEUR-EUREKA-POTOSI-ELLINGTON LINE WHERE
8-10 INCHES IS COMMON AND LOCAL TOTALS ARE AROUND A FOOT. THE OTHER
BAND APPEARS TO BE NEAR A STEELVILLE-UNION-NEW MELLE AXIS WITH 6-11
INCHES. THE LAMBERT SNOWFALL TOTAL WILL FINISH IN THE ALL-TIME TOP 5
FOR MARCH.
THE MID LEVEL LOW HAS BEGUN MOVING QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST AND
WILL CONTINUE A NORTHEAST TRACK INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY THIS
EVENING. THE SNOW BAND HAS BEGUN TO PULL TO THE EAST AND ALSO
REDEVELOP ON THE ERN PERIPHERY...AND IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO PULL
EAST NORTHEAST THROUGH THE EVENING. 1-2 INCH SNOWFALL RATES WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE BAND PRIMARILY IN SOUTHWEST IL THRU THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND FIRST PART OF THE EVENING. WILL MAKE A FEW SLIGHT
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HEADLINES AND LET THE EVENING CREW EXPIRE THEM
AT 600 PM. SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING. THE LOWER CLOUDS SHOULD CLEAR THIS EVENING IN THE
...WITH A FEW HIGH CLOUDS IN ITS WAKE. A NARROW WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE WILL SETTLE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT TO NEAR THE MS
RIVER BY WEDNESDAY MORNING AND THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A VERY COLD
NIGHT OVER THE FRESH SNOW COVER. I HAVE CUT GUIDANCE BY 10 DEGREES
OR SO TONIGHT IN SNOW COVERED AREAS.
A SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL PERSIST THRU THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK. THE SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT BASIN
AND ATTENDANT FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE AREA ON WED AND WED
NIGHT. WAA WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION TOMORROW IN ADVANCE OF
THE SYSTEM WITH INCREASING CLOUDS AND A LOW CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW
ACROSS NRN MO AND CENTRAL IL FROM THE LATE MORNING INTO THE
EVENING. IM NOT REAL EXCITED ABOUT THE PCPN AS LIFT IS WEAK AND
MOISTURE NOT ALL THAT GREAT. I ALSO LOWERED THE HIGH TEMPS ACROSS
THE SNOW FIELD DESPITE THE WAA REGIME. IN THE WAKE OF THE ATTENDANT
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH WED NIGHT WE SHOULD SEE STRONG CAA WITH
GUSTY NW WINDS...STRATUS AND SCATTERED FLURRIES...WHICH WILL
PERSIST INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE MORNING ON THURSDAY FROM ERN MO
INTO IL.
ANOTHER MORE POTENT CLIPPER SHRTWV DIGS INTO THE AREA ON FRIDAY. I
HAVE INTRODUCED A CHANCE OF SNOW WITH THIS SYSTEM. DEPENDING ON
HOW THIS SYSTEM MATERIALIZES IT COULD BRING ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL
WITH LIGHT AMOUNTS. A FORMIDABLE SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL MOVE INTO
THE AREA FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND KEEPING TEMPS WELL BLO
NORMAL. FROM LATE WEEKEND INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK IT
LOOKS LIKE A MODERATION SHOULD START WITH TEMPS BACK TO NEAR
NORMAL BY MONDAY.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 00Z TAFS...SURFACE LOW WAS LOCATED OVER WESTERN WV LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORM HAS
MOVED EAST OF THE TAF SITES. SO JUST HAVE SOME LINGERING FLURRIES
FOR AN HOUR AT KSTL. REST OF TAF SITES REMAIN DRY. IN THE
MEANTIME...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION WITH WINDS
DIMINISHING AND BECOMING VARIABLE. AS FOR CIGS...VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL FOR TAF PERIOD. DO HAVE ANOTHER FRONT THAT WILL BEGIN TO
AFFECT KUIN AND KSUS TOWARDS END OF TAF VALID PERIOD...BUT JUST SEE
AN INCREASE IN MID AND HIGH CLOUDS AND WINDS BECOMING MORE SOUTHERLY
AND SOUTHWESTERLY AHEAD OF FRONT. KUIN WILL SEE THIS FRONT MOVE
THROUGH AROUND 22Z WED.
