AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
425 AM CDT FRI MAY 8 2009

.DISCUSSION...
/425 AM CDT FRI MAY 8 2009/

A ZONAL FLOW AT THE MID LEVELS WILL PREVAIL THRU THE WEEKEND AND
THIS USUALLY POINTS TO AN ACTIVE WX PATTERN THIS TIME OF YEAR IF
GIVEN ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES FOR UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...AND THAT
APPEARS TO BE THE CASE THIS TIME AROUND WITH AN MCV EXPECTED TO
PASS THRU PRIMARILY THIS MORNING...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROF TO
DELIVER A GLANCING BLOW TO THE FAR NRN FA LATER TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY...AND ANOTHER SERIES OF DISTURBANCES THAT WILL PASS THRU
MAINLY ON SUNDAY.

FOR TODAY...MAIN ATTENTION TURNS TO MCS OVER SERN AND SCNTRL KS
THAT IS EXPECTED TO DRIVE EWD PER THE FORWARD PROP CORFIDI
VECTORS AND ALSO WHERE BEST MUCAPE AND H850 MOISTURE CONVERGENCE
IS EXPECTED TO SET UP. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN NUMEROUS TSRA FOR
AREAS S OF THE MO RIVER IN MO AND S OF I-70 IN IL FOR MAINLY THE
MORNING HOURS. HAVE LEFT TOKEN CHC POPS FOR AREAS FURTHER N...AS
AREA OF PCPN OVER ERN NEB EXPECTED TO FADE BEFORE IT REACHES
HERE...BUT PCPN MAY ALSO SPILL OVER TO THE N FROM THE EXPECTED SRN
MO MCS AS IT RUMBLES THRU MAINLY THIS MORNING. PREFERRED WARMEST
MOS IN THE NRN FA...AND AOB THE COOLEST MOS IN THE SRN FA WHERE
MCS IMPACT WILL BE THE GREATEST AND MOST PROLONGED.

CDFNT WILL PUSH THRU THE AREA TONIGHT AND THIS WILL ULTIMATELY SHUNT
THE BETTER PCPN CHCS TO THE SE OF THE FA. BY SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT...LARGELY WENT DRY OVER THE FA AS MOISTURE WILL BE AVERAGE
AND INSTABILITY AND LIFT WILL FOR THE MOST PART BE ABSENT. BY
SUNDAY ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL SLIDE THRU AND BRING WITH IT A BIT
MORE MOISTURE ALOFT. LACK OF INSTABILITY AT MID LEVELS AND
MOISTURE RETURN AT THE SFC...HOWEVER...SHOULD PRECLUDE THUNDER AND
SO JUST WENT WITH SHRA FOR PCPN-TYPE WHILE EDGING POPS TO CHC
CATEGORY FOR MOST AREAS.

SERIES OF WEAK BUT COOLER AIRMASSES ALONG WITH SOME COMBINATION OF
GENERAL CLOUDINESS AND/OR RAIN CHCS OVER THE WEEKEND WILL KEEP
TEMPS ON THE COOL SIDE.

.AVIATION...
/1227 AM CDT FRI MAY 8 2009/

FOR THE 06Z TAFS...PRIMARY AVIATION THREAT CONTINUES TO BE
CONVECTION ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER/I-70 CORRIDOR.
THINK MOST AREAS NORTH OF THIS LINE SHOULD BE CLEAR OF THE
CONVECTION THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT. THINK FOG IS LIKELY
AFTER FOG CLEARS BEFORE SUNRISE. MOST AREAS SHOULD STAY IN MVFR
RANGE...BUT IFR IS POSSIBLE UP NORTH WHERE MORE COOLING IS LIKELY.

MORE CONVECTION LOOKS LIKELY FOR FRIDAY...PARTICULARLY ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. COULD SEE RAIN AS FAR NORTH AS THE MISSOURI
RIVER...BUT AM NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN TIMING YET TO NAIL DOWN IN
TERMINAL FORECASTS. ANOTHER AREA OF CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSOURI/WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING IN THE VICINITY OF AN ADVANCING COLD
FRONT. THINK ANY STORMS THAT DO FORM WILL BE SCATTERED IN NATURE
SO HAVE ONLY MENTIONED CB IN THE KUIN TERMINAL.
