.AVIATION...
FOR THE 06Z TAFS...
WARM FRONT DRAPPED ACROSS SRN MO AND SRN IL HAS MOVED LITTLE OVER
THE LAST 8 HRS. PRIMARY AXIS OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS IS BECOMING
ESTABLISHED FOR THE NEXT 3-6 HRS ACROSS SRN MO/IL WITH STL AREA
WITHIN THE NRN FRINGE. MVFR AND OCCASIONALLY IFR CONDS EXPECTED
WITH THE RAIN/TSRA. BIGGEST QUESTION IS WHETHER RAIN WILL MOVE
BACK NWD AND IMPACT KCOU. GUIDANCE INSISTS IT WILL THEREFORE HAVE
KEPT RAIN FOR A PERIOD OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY TUES. VSBYS/CIGS
ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF MO INTO CENTRAL IL SHOULD GRADUALLY LOWER
TNGT WITH STRATUS AND BR AND FALL TO IFR IN THE WAKE OF AN
INVERTED TROF AND CDFNT PASSAGE OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
