AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1228 PM CDT MON MAR 31 2008
.DISCUSSION...
SURFACE LOW WAS CENTERED OVER WESTERN OK EARLY THIS MORNING. WARM
FRONT EXTENDED FROM THE LOW ACROSS EASTERN KS AND NORTHERN MO INTO
NORTHWEST IN. WARM FRONT WAS LIFTING NORTHWARD AT THIS TIME WHICH
WILL PLACE FORECAST AREA STARTING OUT WITH MILD TEMPS. BY NOON
TODAY, LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN IA WITH
COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO OK. COLD FRONT WILL PLOW
ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AND BY SUNRISE TUESDAY IT WILL EXTEND
FROM EASTERN IN ACROSS MO BOOTHEEL INTO NORTHEAST TX. IMPRESSIVE
SURFACE HIGH OF 1030+ MBS FOR EARLY APRIL WILL BUILD INTO THE
REGION ON TUESDAY.
SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT EXPECTED AGAIN TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT ACROSS
THE REGION. THE ECMWF, UKMET AND NAM ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR FOR THIS
EVENING WITH UPPER JET COUPLING PRODUCING IMPRESSIVE DIVERGENCE FROM
GREAT LAKES REGION ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY INTO OK. THE GFS WAS
SUFFERING FROM CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK AND DISCOUNTED. STL IS JUST OVER
AN INCH FROM SETTING THE RECORD FOR THE WETTEST MARCH EVER. WITH A
LITTLE LUCK, HAVE A GOOD SHOT OF GETTING CLOSE OR BREAKING THE
RECORD LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW TIMING DIFFERENCES LATER THIS WEEK WITH THE
NEXT ROUND OF SIGNIFICANT RAIN. SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SETS UP ACROSS
THE MIDWEST LATER IN THE WEEK. THE GFS IS FORECASTING IMPRESSIVE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN INTO MO BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT ALREADY WHILE THE
ECMWF WAITS UNTIL THURSDAY EVENING. EITHER WAY, LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER
PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN WILL OCCUR ACROSS MO LATE IN THE WEEK. THE TWO
MODELS REMEMBERED THE EASTER RULE AND BOTH ARE NOW FORECASTING
RAIN FOR SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...
PRIMARY CONCERN FOR AVIATORS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE STRONG WINDS
IN EXCESS OF 30-40KTS FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD
OF A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL BE PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA THIS
EVENING. AFTER THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH...IT LOOKS LIKE LOW
MVFR OR IFR CIGS WILL OVERSPREAD THE CWFA...AND COULD HANG IN
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MUCH OF TUESDAY MORNING.
