.DISCUSSION...
FIRST ROUND OF SHOWERS AND A FEW TSRA WERE MOVG E-NEWD THRU THE
SRN HALF OF THE CWA ATTM. THIS PCPN IS IN A REGION OF 850 MB THETA
E ADVCTN AND MOISTURE CNVG ON THE NOSE OF A 35 KT SWLY LLJ OVER
ERN OK AND WRN AR INTO EXTREME SWRN MO. THE BEST THREAT OF RAIN
SHOULD OCCUR OVER THE SRN HALF OF THE CWA THIS MRNG AS A WRMFNT
SLOWLY MOVES NWD INTO SRN MO WITH HIGHER SFC/850 MB DWPTS ADVCTG
NWD INTO SRN MO. THE THREAT OF RAIN WILL SHIFT INTO THE NRN PTN OF
THE CWA THIS AFTN AS MDLS DEPICT STG 850-700 MB WAA SHIFTING NEWD
INTO NRN MO. NAM MDL ALSO SHOWS THE BEST 850 MB WAA AND THETA E
ADVCTN OVER W CNTRL IL AT 00Z FRI ON THE NOSE OF THE SWLY LLJ AND
ALONG THE 850 MB FNT. THE LWR 30S K INDICES OVER SRN MO WILL ALSO
SHIFT NEWD TO STL BY 00Z FRI. THE BEST POTENTIAL OF RAIN SHOULD
SHIFT TO THE SRN AND ERN PTN OF THE CWA THIS EVNG AS A SFC WV
DVLPS ALONG THE FNT OVER SERN MO AND THE FNT BGNS TO PUSH SEWD AS
A CDFNT. NAM MDL HAS THE STRONGEST UPR LVL DIVERGENCE ACRS SRN MO
AND SRN IL TGT AHD OF THE APPROACHING MID-UPR LVL TROF. IT NOW
APRS THAT THE HEAVIEST RAIN AXIS MAY BE JUST SE OF THE CWA TGT BUT
WILL CONT THE FFA OVER THE SRN AND ERN PTN OF THE CWA FM ELLINGTON
MO NE TO SALEM IL AS THIS REGION STILL LOOKS TO BE THE MOST
FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE FLOODING TDA THRU TGT.
MOST OF THE RAIN SHOULD SHIFT SE OF THE CWA ON FRI ALTHOUGH THERE
MAY STILL BE SOME LIGHT POST FRONTAL RAIN OVER THE SRN AND ERN PTN
OF THE CWA UNTIL THE MID-UPR LVL TROF MOVES E OF THE CWA. THE SKY
WILL CLEAR OUT LT FRI AFTN INTO FRI EVNG AS A SFC RDG CNTRD OVER
THE SRN PLAINS BLDS INTO MO. WARMER TEMPS CAN BE EXPECTED ON SAT
WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND AS THE LOW LVL WNDS BCM SLY SAT AFTN
AS SFC/850 MB RDG MOVES E OF THE CWA WITH SFC TROFFING IN THE LEE
OF THE ROCKYS.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MO APPEAR
TO BE OCCURRING ON THE LEADING EDGE OF ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SHORTWV TROF MOVING THRU ERN NEBRASKA AND ERN KS. THEY ARE ALSO
LOCATED ALONG THE ERN PERIPHERY OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY/STEEP MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THE ENTIRE ZONE OF PCPN WILL SHIFT EWD WITH THE
MIGRATION OF THE SHORTWV BUT HOW LONG THE THUNDERSTORMS CAN
MAINTAIN THEMSELVES IS A LITTLE MORE QUESTIONABLE. HAVE INTRODUCED
THUNDER INTO THE KCOU TAF AND VCNTY IN THE STL AREA TAFS. IFR CIGS
SHOULD PREVAIL IN THOSE ALREADY SEEING THEM ALONG AND SOUTH OF
I-70 AND SHOULD GRADUALLY SPREAD INTO KUIN THIS EVENING. LOTS OF
UNCERTAINTY WITH THE PCPN TRENDS BEYOND THIS FIRST WAVE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL TAF SITES...BUT FEEL
MAIN THEAT AREA TONIGHT WILL SHIFT TO SE MO AND SRN IL AND STL
WILL BE ON THE NRN FRINGE.
