AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
452 AM CDT FRI MAR 19 2010

.DISCUSSION...
/452 AM CDT FRI MAR 19 2010/

LOOK FOR TEMPS TODAY TO PUSH WELL INTO THE 60S THANKS TO SWLY SFC
WNDS...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND DEEP MIXING HEIGHTS. IT IS FOR THE
LATTER REASON THAT TEMPS ABOVE MOS WERE FCST DESPITE H850 TEMPS ONLY
RISING TO 6C.

MODELS HAVE COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS
WITH THE MAJOR WINTER STORM SET TO IMPACT PARTS OF THE MIDWEST AS
THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THIS STORM CAN NOW ALL BE SAMPLED OVER
LAND BY THE NOAM UPPER AIR NETWORK. NEEDLESS TO SAY...THE ECMWF FROM
SEVERAL DAYS OUT IS THE WINNER...WITH ALL MODELS NOW MERGING THESE
COMPONENTS INTO A DEEP WOUND UP STORM OVER THE SRN PLAINS BY
SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEN HEADING EWD S OF MO ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT...TAKING A SLIGHT NWD TURN BY SUNDAY EVENING.

THIS EVENT WILL HAVE TWO COMPONENTS TO IT. THE FIRST WILL BE LARGELY
INDEPENDENT OF THIS STRONG WOUND-UP STORM AND BE MORE ASSOCIATED
WITH A STOUT CDFNT FOR TONIGH THRU SATURDAY EVENING. IT IS HERE
WHERE THE MAJORITY OF SNOW POTENTIAL WILL EXIST. THE CDFNT WILL EDGE
INTO NERN MO BY EARLY TONIGHT AND THEN PUSH SEWD TOWARDS STL METRO
BY SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN STALL JUST S AND E OF STL METRO OVER
PARTS OF SERN MO AND SRN IL FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS
FRONT WILL CREATE A RATHER SHARP TEMP GRADIENT AS IT SLOWLY PUSHES
THRU THE FA. POST-FRONTAL PCPN WILL BREAKOUT IN RESPONSE TO GOOD
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING AIDED BY UPPER JET DYNAMICS AS MAIN SYSTEM
APPROACHES. ENOUGH CD AIR SHOULD RUSH IN BEHIND FRONT INITIALLY TO
CHANGE PCPN FROM RAIN TO SNOW OVER IN NERN MO AND PARTS OF CNTRL MO
AND WCNTRL IL. DEPENDING ON HOW COLD THE AIR AT THE SFC GETS AND THE
INTENSITY OF THE SNOWFALL...COULD SEE SEVERAL INCHES FROM THIS
EPISODE...ESPECIALLY IN PARTS OF NERN MO. AREAS FROM STL METRO AND S
AND E WILL JUST SEE RAIN. AREAS TO THE N AND W OF STL METRO MAY ALSO
SEE SOME SLEET DUE TO THE FURTHER ADVANCE OF CD AIR AT THE SFC
EXPECTED THAN ALOFT...AND THIS WILL LEAVE A POCKET OF WARM AIR ALOFT
THAT WILL PLAY A MUCH LARGER ROLE WITH THE MAIN STORM COMPONENT.

THE SECOND COMPONENT TO THIS EVENT WILL BE THE STRONG WOUND-UP STORM
THAT WILL PASS TO OUR S LATER SATURDAY EVENING THRU SUNDAY NIGHT AND
DEVELOP A WELL-DEFINED DEFORMATION ZONE WITH IT. THE WOUND-UP NATURE
OF THIS SYSTEM IS SIGNIFICANT...AS IT WILL DRIVE IN WARM AIR ALOFT
WELL INTO ITS NRN PERIPHERY TO THE POINT THAT MUCH OF THE
DEFORMATION ZONE PCPN WILL BE LIQUID WITH ONLY SOME SLEET OR SNOW
DESPITE THE TRACK BEING VERY FAVORABLE FOR OUR AREA. BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPS GENERALLY ABOVE FREEZING WILL ALSO PLAY A FACTOR IN FURTHER
LIMITING ANY FROZEN PCPN POTENTIAL. DEPENDING ON THE FORWARD SPEED
OF THIS STORM...MAY STILL SEE PCPN LINGERING IN PARTS OF SWRN IL AND
STL METRO INTO MONDAY MORNING.

ALL IN ALL...SEE ENOUGH DOUBT WITH WINTRY PCPN ACCUM TO PREVENT ANY
WATCH ISSUANCE. BUT DO SEE THE POTENTIAL OF 2 TO 4 INCHES IN
SECTIONS OF CNTRL/NERN MO AND WCNTRL IL. EARLY AND LATE SEASON
WINTER STORM ALWAYS ARE TRICKY...SO STAY TUNED.

.AVIATION...
/1131 PM CDT THU MAR 18 2010/
