AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
651 AM CDT MON MAR 17 2008
.DISCUSSION...
LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. H500 RIDGE WILL SLIDE E OF
THE FA THIS MORNING...AND STRONG MID LEVEL WAA FAST ON ITS HEELS
ALREADY...AND WITH SOME FRONTOGENESIS IN THAT AREA AS WELL...
SHRA/TSRA ALREADY BREAKING OUT OVER THE SRN FA. WITH WAA/
ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE TO INTENSIFY THIS MORNING OVER THE NRN 3/4 OF
THE FA...LOOK FOR SHRA/TSRA TO EXPAND. HAVE EXPANDED LIKELY POPS
OVER MUCH OF THE FA THIS MORNING AS A RESULT. BY THIS AFTERNOON...
THE BETTER AND MORE PERSISTENT FORCING WILL SETTLE INTO AREAS N
AND W OF KSTL.
A RATHER HIGHLY AMPLIFIED SWLY FLOW PATTERN WILL TAKE HOLD TONIGHT
UNTIL WEDNESDAY...AS A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES EJECT FROM A STRONG
STORM SYSTEM LOCATED OVER THE SWRN CONUS. THESE DISTURBANCES WILL
ACT ON A HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND MOIST COLUMN...WITH PWATS RISING TO
OVER 300PCT OF NORMAL. THIS SCENARIO WILL LAST OVER A 36HR PERIOD
FOR MOST LOCATIONS. ADD IN ENOUGH INSTABILITY FROM ELEVATED CAPES
OF 400 J/KG FOR THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY INTENSE...ALBEIT
RELATIVELY BRIEF...RAINFALL RATES...AND MOST AREAS HAVING SEEN
ABOVE NORMAL RAINFALL AND WITH WET AND NEARLY SATURATED SOILS...
AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME FLOODING LOOKS TO BE RATHER HIGH THRU
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. FLOOD WATCHES TO CONTINUE FOR ALL AREAS.
OF PARTICULAR NOTE WILL BE LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY
NIGHT OVER AREAS S AND E OF KSTL...WHERE STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET
DIVERGENCE FROM RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION WILL SETTLE IN OVER THAT
AREA AND INTERSECT WITH PWATS STILL CLOSE TO 300PCT OF NORMAL.
THIS WILL BE THE MOST ORGANIZED PART OF THIS EVENT.
TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE TO RISE IN MOST AREAS N OF I-70 TODAY WITH
AMPLE CLOUDCOVER AND LIKELY RAIN OCCURRENCES. WENT AOB THE COOLEST
MOS. OVER SERN MO...CONTINUED TO GO WITH THE WARMEST MOS WITH
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS EXPECTED...STRONG SLY FLOW...AND VERY WARM
TEMPS ALOFT TO MIX DOWN.
HIGH TEMPS ON TUESDAY FOR MOST SITES WILL BE DURING THE MORNING...
WITH CD FROPA EXPECTED EARLY IN THE DAY FOR THE NWRN FA...AND BY
ERY AFTN FOR MUCH OF THE REST OF THE FA. CLOUDS...PCPN...AND
STRONG LO LEVEL CAA WILL RESULT IN FALLING TEMPS DURING THE AFTN.
THE ONE PART WHERE THE MODELS STILL HAVE ISSUES IS ON WEDNESDAY.
GFS HAS BEEN THE MOST GUNG-HO ON DEVELOPING A DEFORMATION ZONE IN
RESPONSE TO IT BEING THE SLOWEST TO OPEN THE SRN STREAM SYSTEM AS
IT FINALLY EJECTS FROM NRN /OLD/ MEXICO. HAVE NOTICED THAT
SUBSEQUENT RUNS OF THE NAM HAVE BEEN HINTING MORE AT THIS SCENARIO
AND HAVE THUS DECIDED TO PLAY UP THIS A BIT MORE ON THE POPS FOR S
AND E OF KSTL. BELIEVE BDRY LYR TEMPS WILL BE TOO WARM TO RESULT
IN NON-LIQUID PCPN AND FOR NOW HAVE KEPT ALL RAIN...BUT WILL BE
CLOSE.
TES
&&
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 12Z TAFS...
PRIMARY CONCERN FOR AVIATION INTERESTS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL
BE THUNDERSTORM AND HEAVY RAIN ACTIVITY ALONG WITH RESULTING LOW
CIGS AND VSBYS. THINK FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR OUTSIDE OF
CONVECTION THROUGH 00Z AT LEAST ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN 2/3 OF THE
CWFA...BUT CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY DETERIORATE THROUGH THE
DAY OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MISSOURI AND WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS.
EXPECT DETERIORATING CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REST OF THE CWFA AFTER
00Z AS WELL. IFR OR LIFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA AFTER 06Z AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT MOVES INTO
CENTRAL MISSOURI...AND MORE HEAVY RAIN DEVELOPS ALONG AND AHEAD OF
IT.
