/1152 AM CDT FRI MAY 15 2009/
HEADS UP THAT WE WILL BE EXPANDING FLASH FLOOD WATCH SOUTHWARD FOR

MEXICO...PITTSFIELD IL LINE. SEVERAL MESO SCALE MODELS SUGGESTING
THAT BOW DVLPG OVR NW MO WL CONT TO WORK E-SE...SPREADING HEAVY

.DISCUSSION...
/419 AM CDT FRI MAY 15 2009/
A LOT TO DEAL WITH ONCE AGAIN. ELEVATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE NORTHEAST OVER NORTHERN & CENTRAL
MO/WEST CENTRAL IL EARLY THIS MORNING. MODELS HAVE SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS TO THIS MORNING/S ACTIVITY...THOUGH MOST AGREE
ON AN MCS DEVELOPING AND SLIDING EAST NORTHEAST. PLACEMENT IS A
DIFFERENT STORY...WILL SIDE MORE WITH NAM/GFS WITH FURTHER NORTH
PLACEMENT WITH SOUTHERN EDGE ALONG A COLUMBIA TO PITTSFIELD LINE.
JUST HAVE CHANCE POPS SOUTH OF THIS LINE FOR TODAY. MAIN THREATS
WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...BUT SO FAR ACTIVITY HAS REMAINED RATHER BENIGN. ALL OF
THIS ACTIVITY IS NORTH OF A WARM FRONT THAT IS LAID OUT FROM JUST
NORTH OF MCI TO JUST NORTH OF STL THEN SOUTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHERN
IL. THIS BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO LIFT NORTHWARD TODAY...THOUGH
CLOUDS AND RAIN FROM MCS COULD SLOW ITS PROGRESS NORTHWARD. WILL
NEED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT ON THIS...AS THIS COULD AFFECT DEVELOPMENT
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS MAIN COLD FRONT SLIDES THROUGH.
KEPT FF WATCH GOING FOR KNOX AND LEWIS AS FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
NUMBERS ARE BELOW AN INCH DUE TO  HEAVY RAIN FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS...TEMPS TO WARM UP INTO THE LOW 80S
ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-70...WITH MID TO UPPER 70S FURTHER NORTH.

FOR TONIGHT...COLD FRONT TO BEGIN MOVING INTO CWA BY 00Z WITH IT
MOVING THOUGH KUIN AND KCOU BETWEEN 03Z/04Z...THROUGH KSTL/KSUS
BETWEEN 06Z/07Z AND KFAM BY 13Z.  GFS CONTINUES TO BE MORE UNSTABLE
WITH MLCAPE IN EXCESS OF 3000J/KG AT 00Z WHILE THE NAM HAS ABOUT
HALF THAT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN SEVERE
CONVECTION AT 40-50KTS ON BOTH MODELS. SO HAVE BROKEN 12 HOUR POP
INTO TWO 6 HOUR GRIDS FOR TONIGHT DUE TO SLIGHTLY SLOWER MOVEMENT OF
FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH FORECAST AREA. DESPITE THIS...RAIN WILL
COME TO AN END QUICKLY ONCE BOUNDARY EXITS REGION. KEPT VERY LOW
CHANCE POPS IN FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES FOR SATURDAY MORNING...THEN DRY
AFTER THAT. AS FOR TEMPS...ANOTHER MILD NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID
50S NORTH TO MID 60S FAR SOUTH. HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL BE IN THE MID
60S TO LOW 70S.

BEYOND TONIGHT...SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS IN WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL
WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

FOR THE EXTENDED...NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE.

.AVIATION...
/743 AM CDT FRI MAY 15 2009/
FOR THE 12Z TAFS...CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER THE NORTHERN QUARTER OF
MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN IOWA CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE WITH TIME. NEW
CONVECTION OVER NORTHEAST KANSAS IS FORMING AT THE NOSE OF THE 8H
LOW-LEVEL JET (REGION OF HIGHER THETA E AIR. WARM FRONTAL
BOUNDARY JUMPED EARLIER THIS MORNING AND NOW IS LOCATED FROM
NORTHEAST KANSAS TO JUST SOUTH OF PITTSFIELD ILLINOIS THEN
SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. CONVECTION CONTINUES TO MOVE IN
A EAST TO SLIGHTLY NORTHEAST DIRECTION. EXPECT FURTHER CONVECTION
TO PERSIST OVER THIS AREA THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING THEN WEAKEN
WITH TIME. MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WTIH COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE MOVING THROUGH THE STL AREA AROUND 0500 - 0600 UTC. MUCH
OF THE ORGANIZED LINE TO BOWING LINE SEGMENT CONVECTION WILL PASS
THROUGH STL AREA BETWEEN 01-03 UTC. WE HAVE PLACE SURFACE GUSTS AS
HIGH AS 45 KTS WITH THE THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS. A PERIOD OF RAIN IS
EXPECTED TO FOLLOW ALONG AND BEHIND THE ORGANIZED LINE FOR A
PERIOD OF ONE TO THREE HOURS. LOW CLOUDS WITH HEIGHTS AROUND 20 -
