AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
702 PM CDT SAT SEP 18 2010

.DISCUSSION...
/206 PM CDT SAT SEP 18 2010/

LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTED A COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM
NORTHEAST ILLINOIS ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI AND INTO NORTHERN
KANSAS. MEANWHILE...A REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM NOCTURNAL
CONVECTION HAS PUSHED FURTHER SOUTH...CLOSER TO THE I-70 CORRIDOR.
LATEST SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS SHOWS A LARGE RESERVOIR OF INSTABILITY
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE COLD FRONT...WITH UP TO 3000 J/KG OF MUCAPE
EXTENDING FROM EASTERN KANSAS TO CENTRAL MISSOURI.

EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS
AND WESTERN MISSOURI WHERE BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE EXISTS. WILL
LIKELY SEE ADDITIONAL CONVECTION DEVELOP EASTWARD ALONG THE REMNANT
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TOWARD THIS EVENING. EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF 20 TO 30
KTS WILL SUPPORT ORGANIZED CONVECTION...AND PERHAPS A FEW SUPERCELLS
INITIALLY. SPC HAS PLACED THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA IN A SLIGHT
RISK...BASICALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70. CAN'T RULE OUT A
FEW TORNADOES IF SUPERCELLS CAN DEVELOP...BUT FEEL MAIN SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

STILL APPEARS THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND ANOTHER MCS WILL SHIFT
BACK NORTH OF THE SYNOPTIC FRONT TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET
INCREASES DURING THE EVENING. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS
THE NORTHERN CWA TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. OBVIOUSLY CONVECTIVE TRENDS
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED THIS EVENING...AS THE SOUTHERN CONVECTION
COULD INTERCEPT/DISRUPT THIS MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND FOCUS THE
HEAVIEST RAINFALL FURTHER SOUTH.

ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR SOUTH OF THE FRONT
ON SUNDAY AND ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS THE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE NATION. TWO FRONTAL
BOUNDARIES ARE EXPECTED TO BRING CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION NEXT WEEK. THE FIRST WILL BE TUESDAY
NIGHT...AND THE SECOND THURSDAY NIGHT. BOTH FRONTS STRUGGLE TO MAKE
IT THROUGH THE CWA...SO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE.

.AVIATION...
/641 PM CDT SAT SEP 18 2010/

THERE WERE TWO AREAS OF ONGOING TSRA AT TAF ISSUANCE. THE FIRST
AREA STRETCHED ACROSS CENTRAL MO ALONG A REMNANT OUTFLOW BDRY AND
HAD ALMOST REACHED KCOU. THE SECOND AREA WAS A LINE OF DISCRETE
CELLS LOCATED ACROSS NORTHEASTERN MO INTO WEST CENTRAL IL. THIS
LINE WAS MOVING SEWD BUT THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON WHETHER OR
NOT THIS LINE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND MOVE MORE ELY THAN SELY.
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT NEAR A
STALLED CDFNT INVOF THE MO/IA BORDER. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN
NORTH OF KCOU/KSTL/KSUS BUT MAY IMPACT KUIN. MVFR TO IFR CIGS ARE
EXPECTED AT KUIN OVERNIGHT AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM RECENT
RAINFALL AND NOCTURNAL COOLING PROMOTE LOWERING CLOUD BASES.
CIGS WILL RISE AT KUIN ONCE THE STALLED FNTL BDRY STARTS TO LIFT
NEWD TOMORROW.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL...LINE OF DISCRETE CELLS WAS LOCATED NORTH OF
KSTL/KSUS AT ISSUANCE. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY ON WHETHER
THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE TERMINAL
OR WHETHER THEY WILL WEAKEN AND START TO MOVE EWD. HAVE GONE WITH
THE MORE PESSIMISTIC FCST AND INCLUDED PREVAILING CB MENTION AND A
TEMPO GROUP WITH TSRA BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION OF THE CURRENT SPEED
OF THE LINE. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LATER TONIGHT WILL
BE FOCUSED CLOSER TO THE CDFNT AND WELL TO THE NORTH OF KSTL/KSUS.
