Area forecast discussion, Jun 24, 4:00 AM CDT, 2 hours 10 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
400 AM CDT WED JUN 24 2009

.DISCUSSION...
/359 AM CDT WED JUN 24 2009/
PRIMARY HAZARD AND WEATHER STORY CONTINUES TO BE THE DANGEROUS HEAT
AND HUMIDITY THAT HAS BUILT OVER THE CWA. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING
WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY FOR THE ST. LOUIS
METROPOLITAN AREA WITH A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST
AREA.

IN THE MEANTIME...LAST NIGHT/S MCS LAID OUT A RATHER LARGE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY THAT CAN STILL BE SEEN ON REGIONAL RADAR...THAT EXTENDS
FROM CHAMPAIGN IL TO JONESBORO AR TO MONETT MO THEN NORTHWESTWARD
TOWARDS JUNCTION CITY KANSAS AS OF 08Z. THIS BOUNDARY AS WELL AS
WEATHER SYSTEM THAT WILL BE APPROACHING THE AREA LATE TONIGHT WILL
BE THE FOCUS OF SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH THURSDAY. MODELS INDICATE CAPES IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG...
ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN AND WESTERN MO...WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
CIN BY THIS AFTERNOON. SO COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED ACTIVITY LATE THIS
MORNING...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A LITCHFIELD TO ST. LOUIS TO
CUBA LINE. THEN BY TONIGHT...ADDITIONAL MCS DEVELOPMENT A GOOD BET
OVER WESTERN/SOUTHERN IOWA THAT WOULD SLIDE SOUTHEAST INTO FORECAST
AREA AS STRONG UPPER RIDGE FINALLY WEAKENS A LITTLE AND RETROGRADES
BACK TO THE WEST FOR A DAY OR SO.

AS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY...IT WILL DEPEND ON THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY. FOR NOW HAVE MID TO UPPER 90S OVER REGION WITH DEWPOINTS
IN THE LOW TO MID 70S ONCE AGAIN. THIS WILL CREATE HEAT INDICES IN
THE 101 TO 107 DEGREE RANGE BY THIS AFTERNOON.

ANOTHER WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE LOW 70S...WITH
UPPER 70S OVER THE IMMEDIATE ST. LOUIS METRO AREA. THEN ON THURSDAY
WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...HIGH TEMPS WILL BE
TRICKY TO PIN DOWN. FOR NOW HAVE AROUND 90 FAR NORTHEAST PORTIONS TO
MID 90S OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MO. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN
THE LOWER 70S AND HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S.
HEAT INDEX VALUES THROUGH THIS TIME WILL BE AT OR JUST BELOW
ADVISORY/WARNING CRITERIA...BUT FEEL WITH SUCH A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
HEAT AND HUMIDITY...THAT ADVISORY/WARNING SHOULD REMAIN IN
AFFECT...ESPECIALLY AS EVEN WARMER AIR MOVES IN ON SATURDAY.

SPEAKING OF SATURDAY...UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD BACK INTO THE
REGION FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. NEW 00Z ECMWF SHOWS 850 TEMPS
APPROACHING 27C OVER AREA DURING THE DAY...WITH GOOD MIXING SURFACE
TEMPS TO EASILY EXCEED 100 DEGREES...THOUGH FOR NOW HAVE UPPER 90S
FOR MOST OF AREA...SLIGHTLY COOLER...MID 90S IN THE FAR NORTH CLOSER
TO THE APPROACHING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. AS FOR HEAT INDEX VALUES...
105-110 DEGREES EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY...WITH 110+ POSSIBLE FOR
THE ST. LOUIS METRO AREA. THEN BOTH GFS AND ECMWF BRING IN A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL COOL THINGS DOWN TO MORE SEASONABLE
LEVELS FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

BEYOND SATURDAY...EXTENDED FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE...SO NO MAJOR
CHANGES AT THIS TIME.

.AVIATION...
/1119 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2009/
FOR THE 06Z TAFS...MCS AND ASSOC OUTFLOW HAS COMPLICATED THE
FORECAST SOMEWHAT. NLY WINDS WILL CONTROL AT THE BEGINING OF THE
TAF PERIOD...BUT WINDS SHUD EVENTUALLY BECOME MORE SLY. THINK SLY
WINDS WILL RETURN TO TAF SITES AROUND SUNRISE. WITH COLD POOL
BRINGING IN COOLER AND DRIER AIR...HAVE REMOVED MENTION OF FG AT
SUS AND COU FOR EARLY WED MORNING. EXPECT SOME CU TO DEVELOP AGAIN
TOMORROW. WINDS SHUD BE LIGHT THRU THE FORECAST PERIOD. CANNOT
RULE OUT TSRA AT ANY TAF SITE DURING THE AFTERNOON ON WED. DO NOT
HAVE MENTION OF TSRA AS TOO MANY UNCERTAINTIES EXIST ATTM. MUCH

PUSHES. BELIEVE BEST CHANCES ARE FOR UIN REGION AS DEVELOPING MCS
OVER NEB PUSHES INTO IA AND LEAVES BNDY IN THE REGION.
