AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1258 AM CDT MON JUN 27 2011

.UPDATE...
/848 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011/

WILL BE EXPANDING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH SHORTLY TO COVER MUCH OF
THE REST OF THE CWA. MCS NOW ENTERING THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA
IS NOW PROPAGATING SOUTHWARD. WHILE THE RAIN WON'T LAST LONG...THE
EXTREME RATES ON SATURATED GROUND WILL STILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
FLASH FLOODING. NOT SURE OF THE PATH OF THE SECOND...MORE IMPRESSIVE
MCS NOW ALONG THE NE/IA BORDER...BUT IF IT DOES IMPACT THE CWA
LATER IT WILL ONLY CAUSE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL.

/754 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011/

A TORNADO WATCH AND A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAVE BEEN ISSUED
FOR MOST OF THE CWA UNTIL 2 AM CDT. HAVE CLEARED THE SOUTHERN PART
OF THE CWA FROM THE ORIGINAL WATCH AS IT HAS BEEN AT LEAST
PARTIALLY STABILIZED BY EARLIER CONVECTION.

THE TORNADO WATCH COVERS THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELLS
ALONG THE SURFACE WARM FRONT. EXTREME INSTABILITY AND MORE THAN
ADEQUATE SHEAR ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT FOR
CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF ROTATING UPDRAFTS.

THE SEVERE THUNDESTORM WATCH COVERS THE MCS OVER SERN IA THAT WILL
TURN SEWD ALONG THE 850 THETA-E GRADIENT ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE
EXTREME INSTABILITY AND WEAKNESS IN THE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION.
WORRIED THAT THIS MAY PRODUCE WIDESPREAD DAMAGE AS IT MOVES INTO
THE CWA.

FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT IN THE NORTH. WILL MONITOR
MOVEMENT OF THE MCS IN THE NEXT HOUR AND MAY ADD COUNTIES TO IT
WHERE FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS LOW. EVEN THOUGH THE MCS IS
PROGRESSIVE...IT WILL LIKE CAUSE EXTREME RAINFALL RATES.

.DISCUSSION...
/529 PM CDT SUN JUN 26 2011/

HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA
TONIGHT AND RECENTLY EXPANDED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 558 TO
COVER THE SOUTHERN METRO. THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO FIRE WHERE OLD
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM LAST NIGHT MCS IS CONVERGING WITH OUTFLOWS
FROM THE STORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED IN THIS AREA IN RECENT HOURS.
THIS IS OCCURRING IN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIR WITH MLCAPES 4000-5000
J/KG WITH EFFECTIVE SHEAR AROUND 40KTS.

DO EXPECT DEVELOPMENT THIS EVENING ALONG THE WARM FRONT AS IT
MOVES NORTH INTO NORTHERN MO. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO LIKELIES AS
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL INCREASE AS THE LOW LEVEL JET
INCREASES. THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL ALSO HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BE SEVERE. THE PWATS ARE ALSO AROUND 2.3 INCHES WHICH
WILL FAVOR VERY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES. THE COUNTIES OVER NORTHEAST
MO AND WEST CENTRAL IL WHERE I HAVE ISSUED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
HAVE VERY SATURATED SOILS CAUSING INSTANT RUNOFF. THERE IS ALREADY
A NEARLY STATIONARY AREA OF STORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED OVER
SOUTHERN IOWA IN ADDITION TO THE MCS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS IOWA.
PROPAGATION VECTORS ARE GOING TO FAVOR MORE OF A SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST
MOVEMENT THROUGH THE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT WHICH SUGGESTS AN
INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AND ENHANCED FLASH FLOOD WATCH
POTENTIAL OVER THE NORTHERN CWA TONIGHT.

THINKING HAS NOT CHANGED THAT MCS WILL EXIT OR DECREASE IN INTENSITY
ON MONDAY MORNING FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF LULL BEFORE STORMS REDEVELOP
AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
INCLUDING SUPERCELLS STILL LOOK LIKELY GIVEN STRONG INSTABILITY
AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR AROUND 40 KNOTS. CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS
WILL DIMINISH QUICKLY ON MONDAY NIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES
SOUTH OF THE AREA.

MOST OF THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AGREE THAT THE RIDGE WILL THEN
BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS WITH MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS THE REST
OF THE WEEK AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDICES OF 100
OR GREATER LATER IN THE WEEK.
