AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1239 PM CDT TUE MAR 24 2009

.DISCUSSION...
/453 AM CDT TUE MAR 24 2009/
WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE VERY ACTIVE WEATHER OVER THE REGION INTO
THIS WEEKEND. FOR TODAY WILL SEE ROUND ONE AS A STRONG COLD FRONT
PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION...MOVING INTO THE ST. LOUIS METRO AREA BY
7 PM. AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...EXPECT THE TIGHT GRADIENT AND SUFFICIENT
MIXING TO RESULT IN ADVISORY CRITERIA WINDS FOR A PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA TODAY. SO HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS ALONG
AND EAST OF CALHOUN COUNTY TO CRAWFORD COUNTY LINE THROUGH THIS
EVENING.

EVEN THOUGH FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS VERY SLOW IN IT PROGRESSION THIS
MORNING...WILL SEE SHORTWAVE FINALLY EJECT FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
TODAY...PUSHING THE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BY
03Z. SO WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY OVER WESTERN MISSOURI WEAKENING
...STILL ANTICIPATE A NEW LINE OF STORMS TO DEVELOP BY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON ALONG THE COLD FRONT IN RESPONSE TO FRONTAL CONVERGENCE
AND STRONG LARGE SCALE ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH A NEGATIVELY TILTED
SHORTWAVE TROF SWINGING THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY. SEVERE WEATHER IS
STILL A POSSIBILITY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS DEEP LAYER SHEAR
REMAINS PLENTIFUL AS ARE THE STRONG WIND FIELDS. INSTABILITY
CONTINUES TO BE THE QUESTION MARK. THE NEW 06Z NAM IS STILL
DEPICTING POCKETS OF SBCAPE OF 500-800 J/KG IN THE AFTERNOON AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. THIS WOULD SIGNAL MUCH BETTER POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS...PRODUCING LOCALIZED CORRIDORS OF DAMAGING WINDS
THROUGH EARLY EVENING. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS
AS WELL...HOWEVER GIVEN THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE TO THE SYSTEM...
THINK THE FLOOD THREAT IS LOCALIZED AT THE MOMENT...SO WILL NOT BE
ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME.

COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH NEXT MAJOR STORM
SYSTEM IN THE THURSDAY NIGHT TO FRIDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME. SO MAJOR
CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED AT THIS TIME.
