AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
330 PM CST SUN NOV 7 2010

.DISCUSSION...
/313 PM CST SUN NOV 7 2010/

THROUGH MIDWEEK...THE TRENDS OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST REMAIN ON
TRACK AND JUST NEED SOME ADJUSTMENTS. RIDGING ALOFT WILL DOMINATE
ALOFT WHILE THE ELONGATED HIGH EXTENDING FROM THE APPALACHIANS
THROUGH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL
DOMINATE THE LOWER TROPOSPHERE. THIS WILL KEEP DRY AND PRECIP-FREE
CONDITIONS WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE...AND THE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL RESULT IN SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH WITH
HIGHER GUSTS DURING THE DAYTIME. INITIALLY LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
RETURN WILL BE RETARDED BY THE PRESENCE OF THE HIGH/RIDGE TO THE
SOUTH...BUT THIS WILL BREAK DOWN TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY ALLOWING
MOISTURE/SURFACE DEW POINTS TO RISE.

BEGINNING ON WEDNESDAY INTO THE WEEKEND THE PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE
ACTIVE. AN INITIAL SHORT WAVE TROF LIFTING FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES
INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY WILL BRING A GLANCING BLOW AND
HELP PUSH A WEAK FRONT INTO PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN CWA. MOISTURE
WILL BE IMPROVED BY THEN BUT STILL NOT GREAT AND FORCING IS MEAGER
SO THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IS IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE
RANGE...PRIMARILY IN THE NRN CWA. A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF MEASURABLE
AND WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD UNFOLD IN THE
FRIDAY TO SATURDAY TIME FRAME WITH A SECOND STRONGER TROF EXITING
THE SWRN U.S. AND THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE SYSTEM.  MOISTURE SHOULD BE
MUCH IMPROVED BY THEN AND ORGANIZED LARGE SCALE FORCING SHOULD BE
PRESENT AS WELL. THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS LATER SYSTEM ARE TIMING.
THE MODEL SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN SHOWING A GOOD DEAL OF VARIANCE AND
LACK OF RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY...MAINLY IN THE TIMING. THE LATEST
TRENDS ARE SLOWER...ONCE AGAIN IN THE FRIDAY TO SATURDAY PERIOD.

.AVIATION...
/1204 PM CST SUN NOV 7 2010/

HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM VIRGINIA THROUGH ALABAMA COMBINED
WITH A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH FROM THE DAKOTAS THROUGH COLORADO HAS
RESULTED IN AN INCRREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER MUCH OF MISSOURI
AND ILLINOIS AND INCREASED WIND SPEEDS MAINLY FROM SOUTHWEST
THROUGH CENTRAL INTO NORTHEAST MISSOURI. VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL OVER REGION. HOWEVER SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 14 TO 24 KTS ARE
EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON FROM SPRINGFIELD MO NORTHEASTWARD TO QUINCY.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY.
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL RANGE FROM 10 TO 14 KTS THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTHERLY
TONIGHT AROUND 8 KTS AND ON MONDAY SOUTHWEST WINDS FROM 14 TO 24
KTS.

.FIRE WEATHER...
FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS FROM 10 HOUR TO 1000 HOUR REMAIN AT VERY LOW
LEVELS AND MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH VALUES HAVE FALLEN BELOW 25
PERCENT ACROSS THE AREA...SPCLY THE OZARKS WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN
READINGS BELOW 20 PERCENT. 20 FOOT SUSTAINED WINDS CONTINUE TO BE
THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN TERMS OF CRITICAL FIRE DANGER/CONDITIONS. THE
20 FOOT WINDS AT SOME OF THE UMO AG SITES IN NE MO WERE AT 15 MPH
AND A RED FLAG WARNING WAS ISSUED EARLIER TODAY FOR THIS AFTERNOON
TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. ELSEWHERE...ACROSS THE OZARKS...THE
SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE BEEN BELOW 15 MPH BUT GUSTS HAVE BEEN 15-20
MPH. FOR MONDAY...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY WARMER AND DEW
POINTS A BIT HIGHER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NE MO INTO WEST CENTRAL
IL. WINDS WILL ALSO BE A TAD HIGHER. ALL IN ALL...WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF PORTIONS OF NE MO...RH AND FUELS WILL FALL TO CRITICAL LEVELS.
BASED ON A COORDINATION CALL THIS AFTERNOON WITH OUR FIRE WEATHER
PARTNERS FROM FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES...DUE TO THE EXTREME
DRYNESS AND LOW RH VALUES...WE ARE GIVING MORE WEIGHT TO THE WIND
GUSTS THAN SUSTAINED WINDS AS WINDS OF ONLY 10 MPH HAS PRODUCED
SPOTTING ISSUES AND CONTAINMENT PROBLEMS WITH ANY ONGOING FIRES.
THEREFORE A RED FLAG WARNING IS BEING ISSUED FOR MONDAY FOR A
LARGE PORTION OF THE AREA. WE WILL ALSO RE-ISSUE THE SPS
HIGHLIGHTING THE ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DANGER ACROSS
THE AREA.
