AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
404 PM CDT FRI JUN 4 2010

.DISCUSSION...
/350 PM CDT FRI JUN 4 2010/

PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH THIS FCST PCKG ARE AFTN/EVE TSRA...POTENTIAL
FOR A NOCTURNAL MCS IMPACTING THE AREA OVERNIGHT...AND PCPN CHCS
THROUGH THE WEEK.

TSRA EXPECTED TO DVLP THIS AFTN/EVE NEAR THE MO/IA BORDER INVOF A
QUASISTATIONARY FNT STRETCHING FM NERN KS/SERN NE THROUGH NWRN MO
INTO SERN IA AND NRN IL. MID-AFTN MLCAPE VALUES RANGED FM 1500 TO
2500 J/KG ACROSS THE CWA WITH MUCH HIGHER VALUES NOTED FARTHER NW.
SOME OF THE STORMS THAT DVLP THIS AFTN/EVE COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL
OR DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN 30-40 KTS OF 0-6 KM SHEAR WITH AMPLE
INSTABILITY.

ATTN THEN TURNS TO PCPN CHCS OVERNIGHT AS H85 LLJ RAMPS UP TO THE
WEST. LLJ IMPINGING ON THE QUASISTATIONARY FNT OVER NW MO/ERN KS
SHOULD LEAD TO DVLPMT OF A MCS. THE DIFFICULT PART IS DETERMINING
WHETHER THE MCS WILL TRACK INTO THE CWA OVERNIGHT...AND
UNFORTUNATELY THIS MAY NOT BE KNOWN UNTIL AFTER IT HAS ALREADY
DVLPD. BOTH BACKBUILDING AND FORWARD PROPAGATING CORFIDI VECTORS
POINT E/ESE IN IA BUT TURN TO THE SE/S IN MO. THIS SUGGESTS THAT
THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE MCS WILL DEPEND HIGHLY ON WHERE IT
INITIATES AND THE STRENGTH OF ITS COLD POOL. IF THE MCS FORMS IN
NEB OR IA IT SHOULD REMAIN N OF THE CWA ALTHOUGH ITS SRN EDGE MAY
CLIP FAR NERN MO AND EXTREME W CENTRAL IL. IF THE MCS FORMS
FARTHER SOUTH IT COULD AFFECT NRN PARTS OF THE CWA. GIVEN THE
UNCERTAINTIES INVOLVED...I MAINTAINED A GENERAL NORTH TO SOUTH POP
GRADIENT WITH THE HIGHEST CHCS IN THE FAR NRN PARTS OF THE CWA FOR
TONIGHT.

TSRA CHCS CONTINUE ON SAT WITH AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND OUTFLOW
BDRYS FM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION. VALUES OF CAPE AND SHEAR WILL BE
SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON SAT BEFORE THE BDRY
PROGRESSES S OF THE CWA AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TO THE AREA.
PATTN TRANSITIONS TO NW FLOW ALOFT BY SUN AS AN UPPER LVL RIDGE
BUILDS ACROSS THE WRN CONUS. CONDITIONS STILL LOOK FAVORABLE FOR
TSRA EARLY NEXT WEEK ON MON/MON NIGHT AND TUE/TUE NIGHT AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTS A WMFNT NEWD THROUGH THE AREA. ECMWF/GFS
CONTINUE TO DISAGREE ON HOW FAR S THE BDRY PROGRESSES.

.AVIATION...
/1233 PM CDT FRI JUN 4 2010/

BIGGEST CONCERN IS PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF CONVECTION. TSTMS
SHOULD FIRE ALONG BOUNDARY ALONG IA/MO BORDER BY 21Z AND SLOWLY
PROGRESS ESE. NOT SURE ON COVERAGE OF THIS ACTIVITY SO HANDLING IT
WITH CB AND VCTS AT KUIN/KCOU. AT LEAST ONE MCS IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS SD/NE/IA OVERNIGHT. HARD TO DETERMINE JUST HOW FAR
SOUTH THE SOUTHERN EDGE WILL MAKE IT. MODELS SHOW MOST OF THE
ACTION STAYING NORTH OF THE MO/IA BORDER...BUT WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED IF IT MADE IT DOWN TO I-70. IF THE SCENARIO OF A COUPLE
NIGHTS AGO IS ANY INDICATION...THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MAY PUSH EVEN
FURTHER SOUTH THAN THAT. DUE TO TIMING/PLACEMENT/COVERAGE
ISSUES...HANDLING THE UNCERTAINTY WITH CB GROUPS FOR KCOU/KSUS.
KUIN HAS THE BEST CHANCE FOR TSTMS OVERNIGHT...BUT UNSURE ON
TIMING...SO COVERING CHANCES WITH VCTS. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD MOVE
OUT DURING THE MORNING HOURS ONLY TO HAVE MORE TSTMS DEVELOP ALONG
A COLD FRONT SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND 10 KTS.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL...

NOT CONFIDENT THAT THE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL MAKE IT FAR
ENOUGH SOUTH TO AFFECT THE TERMINAL...SO LEFT A MENTION OF CB. THE
SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR ANY OF THE OVERNIGHT MCS ACTIVITY. IF THE
CONVECTION STAYS NEAR I-80...KSTL SHOULD BE OK. BUT IF IT DROPS
DOWN TO THE IA/MO BORDER...MODELS INDICATE IT COULD SURGE SOUTH
ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.
