.DISCUSSION...
/242 PM CDT MON JUN 2 2008/
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE HAS SETTLED INTO THE REGION. AS A RESULT, SURFACE
WARM FRONTAL/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDED FROM SOUTHEAST MO INTO
EASTERN KS THIS AFTERNOON. BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE
OVERNIGHT AS MCS PASSES ACROSS THE AREA. BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO
DROP INTO NORTH MO EARLY ON TUESDAY AND THEN REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH MUCH OF WEDNESDAY BEFORE LIFTING TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA.
FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

850 MB MOISTURE WAS POOLED FROM CENTRAL KS INTO SOUTHWEST MO THIS
MORNING. THE VARIOUS MODELS VERIFIED FAIRLY CLOSE WITH WIND AND
MOISTURE FIELDS. MCS DEVELOPED LAST NIGHT IN RESPONSE TO STRONG
MOISTURE INFLOW AND CONTINUES TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS WEST MO.
DENSE BLOWOFF CLOUDS HAVE OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.
RAIN HAS MOVED INTO CENTRAL MO AND PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN OZARKS.
MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION IS FORECAST TO
BECOME ESTABLISHED INTO NORTH MO TONIGHT BY THE VARIOUS MODELS.
EXPECT MCS TO DEVELOP TO THE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA LATER THIS
EVENING AND THEN SAG SOUTHEASTWARD.

THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE BEEN VERY SIMILAR PAST FEW DAYS IN
FORECASTING A DEEP UPPER TROF/CLOSED LOW WILL DIG ACROSS THE ROCKIES
ON THURSDAY. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN AND STILL IS STRONGER AND DEEPER
WITH SYSTEM WITH THE H5 LOW NEAR THE 4 CORNERS REGION THURSDAY
MORNING. AS A RESULT, DEEP SURFACE LOW FOR EARLY JUNE WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS KS ON THURSDAY. WITH STRONG DYNAMICS FORECAST WITH THIS
SYSTEM, EXPECT STRONG SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE ACROSS WEST MO THURSDAY
EVENING AND INTO THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT.

BOTH MODELS THEN BUILD AN UPPER RIDGE INTO THE REGION ON SUNDAY.
TEMPS SHOULD BE WELL ABOVE AVERAGE AS A RESULT.

FOR THE 06Z TAFS...HV CONTD TO FOCUS TSRA THRT FOR THIS SET ON
FORCING ASSOC WITH LO LVL JET OVR THE NE HLF OF OUR FA DURG THE
RMNDR OF TNGT. IT APRS THAT UIN WL BE GETTING A BRIEF BREAK IN THE
CONVECTION BY 06Z...BUT CERTAINLY EXPECT THAT THE ADDITIONAL
STORMS FORMING UPSTREAM WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT AIRPORT IN A FEW
HRS. EVOLUTION IN STL AREA STILL QUITE UNCERTAIN...AND IT MAY BE
THAT CVG OF CNVTN WILL BE SUCH THAT STORMS WILL BE IN THE AREA
BUT MAY NOT IMPACT THE AIRPORT PROPER...SO HV GONE WITH VCNTY AT
BOTH STL AND SUS FROM LT TNGT INTO THU MRNG. FOR COU...CONCERN IS
INCREASING THAT AREA OF CNVTN THAT IS MOVG INTO E KS MAY HOLD
TOGETHER..AND IF THIS OCRS TIMING IS SUCH THAT IT WOULD REACH COU
BY 09Z AND HV HINTED AT THIS IN 06Z TAF. BY MID MRNG TUE...IT APRS THAT
ALL OF THE NOCTURNAL CNVTN WL HV MOVED OUT...AND WITH VRY STG
CAPPING FCST BY BOTH WRF/NAM AND GFS THINK THAT MUCH OF THE LT
MRNG AND AFTN SHUD BE PCPN-FREE. HWVR...00Z RUNS ARE ALSO FCSTG
SHTWV TO PUSH INTO AREA BY ERY EVE...WITH RESULTS IN ANOTHER ROUND
OF TSRA IN THE 00Z-06Z TIME FRAME FOR THE TAFS IN OUR CWA.
