Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 12:56 PM CDT, 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1256 PM CDT MON MAR 9 2009

.DISCUSSION...
/318 AM CDT MON MAR 9 2009/
NEXT FEW DAYS WILL CONTINUE TO BE BUSY WEATHERWISE WITH CONCERNS
ABOUT FLASH FLOODING...SEVERE WEATHER AND STRONG GRADIENT WINDS.
WILL BE ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NERN MO AND PART OF W
CNTRL IL FOR TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE IN GENERALLY
GOOD AGREEMENT THAT TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE UPPER MIDWEST ON TUESDAY NIGHT. WHILE GFS IS THE DEEPEST WITH
THIS SHORTWAVE...IT HAS SUPPORT FROM THE CANADIAN GEM AND ITS
TIMING OF THE SURFACE FRONT LINES UP PRETTY WELL WITH THE REST OF
THE MODELS. SO HAVE USED A BLEND OF THE NAM/GFS FOR THIS FORECAST.

HAVE REMOVED POPS FOR THIS MORNING AND SCALED BACK TO CHANCE POPS
TO COVER JUST CNTRL AND NERN MO/W CNTRL IL THIS AFTERNOON WHERE
925-850 MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND LARGE SCALE ASCENT WILL BE
INCREASING. HAVE INCREASED TO CATEGORICAL POPS AND ADDED MENTION
OF HEAVY RAINFALL OVER NERN MO/W CNTRL IL TONIGHT WHERE SFC-850MB
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY ALONG DEVELOPING
LOW LEVEL TROUGH UNDER BROAD LARGE SCALE ASCENT. PWATS WILL REACH
1.25 INCHES OR GREATER WHICH IS OVER TWO STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE
NORMAL. WILL KEEP HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT GOING UNTIL MIDDAY TUESDAY
WHEN PWATS BEGIN TO DROP AS DRIER MID LEVEL AIR MOVES IN.

SPC HAS MOST OF CWA IN SLIGHT RISK THROUGH TUESDAY.  CHANCES FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AS INSTABILITY BEGINS.  SPC
SREF MUCAPES WILL EXCEED 500 J/KG WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN THE
50-70KT RANGE...SO THERE IS A RISK OF WIND PRODUCING MCS ALONG THE
WNW-ESE ORIENTED WARM FRONT IN ADDITION TO ISOLATED LOW TOPPED
SUPERCELLS.  SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES UNTIL THE SURFACE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH ON TUESDAY WITH SREF MEDIAN MUCAPES IN THE 500-1000
J/KG...BUT ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS WOULD CAUSE MORE INSTABILITY
THAT CURRENTLY FORECAST. STRENGTH OF MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND
ORIENTATION OF FRONT TO UPPER LEVEL FLOW SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR A
LINE ALONG THE FRONT...BUT VERY STRONG LOW AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR
SUGGESTS THAT THERE WILL BE SOME SUPERCELLS.

SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE BY THIS EVENING AND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY BEHIND THE FRONT AS PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS AROUND DEEPENING SURFACE LOW.  WILL MENTION THESE WINDS IN
THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

.AVIATION...
/1255 PM CDT MON MAR 9 2009/
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...LOW LEVEL STRATUS HAS SLOWLY ERODED...BUT REMAINS
OVER KUIN AS OF FORECAST ISSUANCE TIME. IN THE MEANTIME...MID AND
UPPER LEVEL CLOUDINESS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH
TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS LOW-MID LEVEL WAA
INCREASES
OVER THE CWA. ALSO...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER SOUTHWESTERN
MO SINCE TAFS WERE ISSUED...SO WILL NEED TO ADD MENTION TO KCOU IN
AN AMENDMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE. OTHERWISE...MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK
SHOULD LOWER TONIGHT AND TSRA ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS
THE AREA ESPECIALLY OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN MO
INTO WEST CENTRAL IL AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
AREA AND AS AN INTENSIFYING LLJ BRINGS INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
BACK INTO THE AREA. INCLUDED TSRA IN THE TAFS LATER THIS EVENING AND
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TAF SITES ALONG I-70 CORRIDOR SHOULD SEE
A BREAK IN THE PCPN DURING THE MORNING HOURS TOMORROW UNTIL A
VIGOROUS COLD FRONT SLIDES THROUGH LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
