.DISCUSSION...
/352 AM CDT WED JUN 16 2010/

COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED SOUTH OF THE AREA ALTHOUGH RECENT SATELLITE
IMAGERY AND THETA-E ANALYSIS SUGGEST A SECONDARY FNTL BDRY COULD BE
LINGERING ACROSS MISSOURI ALONG THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR. TODAY
LOOKS LIKE THE COOLEST DAY OUT OF THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS HIGH
PRESSURE BEGINS BUILDING IN AT THE SFC AND ALOFT. AS THE SFC HIGH
SHIFTS SEWD...WINDS WILL TURN SLY TO SWLY BY TOMORROW AND ADVECT A
WARM AND MOIST AIR MASS BACK INTO THE REGION. AT THE SAME TIME...A
WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NEWD THROUGH MO/IL ON THU WITH H85 TEMPERATURES
GRADUALLY RISING TO +18 TO +22 DEG C BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. GIVEN
LIMITED CLOUD COVER...THESE FACTORS SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S
TO MID 90S FROM TOMORROW THROUGH SAT WITH HEAT INDICES REACHING 100
DEGREES ON FRIDAY ACROSS THE CWA. VERY FEW CHANGES MADE TO GOING
TEMPERATURE FCST SINCE IT ALREADY REFLECTS THESE TRENDS.

A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH AND WEST OF MO/IL
AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE NRN PLAINS HOWEVER SHORTWAVES ROTATING
AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM COULD PROVIDE FORCING FOR TSRA.
LOCAL WRF MODEL DEPICTS AN ELONGATED AREA OF STRONG MCONV TONIGHT
ACROSS SWRN IA INTO NRN MO THAT SHIFTS NEWD WITH TIME. HAVE KEPT
SCHC POPS FOR TONIGHT GIVEN UNCERTAINTY ON WHETHER CONVECTION WILL
DVLP. MODELS SUGGEST THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL LAY OUT AN E-W ORIENTED
FNTL BDRY SOMEWHERE ACROSS IA OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW LIFTS INTO CANADA. THE SWD EXTENT OF THIS BDRY WILL HAVE TO BE
WATCHED SINCE IT COULD PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR SHRA/TSRA OVER THE
WEEKEND GIVEN ITS LOCATION BELOW THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A
H5 JET. NO CHANGES PAST 12Z SUN.
