AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
305 PM CDT SAT JUL 6 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THROUGH LATE TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT SAT JUL 6 2013

OUR PERSISTENT FRIEND THE UPPER LEVEL LO IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER
FAR SERN MO NEAR CGI AND IS EXPECTED TO CROSS INTO FAR SRN IL OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS.  AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PAST FEW DAYS...TSRA
THAT HAS DEVELOPED WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY HAS BEEN MAINLY THE
RESULT OF FAVORABLE PVA FROM VORT CENTERS OF DECENT STRENGTH (20 OR
MORE) IN AN ENVIRONMENT WITH VIRTUALLY NO SFC BOUNDARIES AND A VERY
WEAK CAP.

THE MOST PERSISTENT STRONG VORT CENTER SHOULD REMAIN NEAR THE UPPER
LO CENTER THRU EARLY-MID EVENING BEFORE EVEN THESE CANNOT GENERATE
CONVECTION...AND THIS WILL MEAN THE LAST OF THE TSRA TO DIE OFF THIS
EVENING WILL PROBABLY BE FAR SERN MO AND SRN IL.

A PERIOD OF DRY WX AREAWIDE SHOULD THEN BE SEEN LATE EVENING AND
MUCH OF OVERNIGHT...UNTIL A SFC WRMFNT CAN APPROACH FROM THE W AND
GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO NERN MO LATE TONIGHT TO GENERATE SOME NEW
SHRA/TSRA.

MIN TEMPS SHOULD BE A BIT HIGHER THAN PERSISTENCE BUT STILL EXPECTED
TO DROP INTO THE 60S SAVE IN STL CITY.

TES

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT SAT JUL 6 2013

(SUNDAY)

UPPER LO THAT HAS GIVEN US NUMEROUS TSRA CHCS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS WILL FINALLY EXIT THE AREA BUT THAT WILL NOT NECESSARILY MEAN
WE WILL BE RAIN-FREE.  A SFC WRMFNT WILL APPROACH NE-CNTRL MO FROM
THE W AT THE START OF THE PERIOD AND WILL MOVE INTO AN AREA WITH A
FAIRLY WEAK CAP ALOFT ALTHOUGH LIMITED INSTABILITY AS WELL.  HAVE
MAINTAINED THE CHC OF TSRA FOR THIS FEATURE...AND IT APPEARS THE
RAIN CHCS WILL ACTUALLY STRENGTHEN FOR A TIME IN THE MORNING AS THIS
WRMFNT SLOWLY PUSHES EWD ACROSS THE FA.  THE BEST RAIN CHCS WILL BE
ACROSS NERN MO AND W-CNTRL IL BUT WITH ADVECTION VECTORS ALL POINTED
TO THE SE AND S...THERE WILL BE A LO CHC FOR SOME OF THIS TO PUSH
INTO SW IL AND THE STL METRO AREA...BUT WORTH MENTIONING.

CLOUDS AND RAIN CHCS MAY TEMPORARILY HALT THE SLOW WARMING TREND WE
HAVE SEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS...AND SO HAVE SOMETHING MORE ALONG
PERSISTENCE FOR MAX TEMPS...GENERALLY FROM 85-90F.

(SUNDAY NIGHT - TUESDAY)

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL STRENGTHEN AND BUILD INTO THE MID MS VALLEY
DURING THIS TIME AND WILL GIVE US A WARM SECTOR SETUP AT THE SFC
WITH SYNOPTIC FRONTAL BOUNDARIES TO THE N AND NE AND A S-SW FLOW.
SOME OF THE HIGHEST MAX TEMPS OF THE YEAR WILL BE FORECAST MONDAY
AND TUESDAY...BUT WITH THIS YEAR IT IS NOT SAYING TOO MUCH...WITH
LO-MID 90S FOR AMBIENT TEMPS...AND HEAT INDICES FROM 95-100F.

PCPN CHCS WILL BE PRETTY MINIMAL DURING THIS PERIOD...WITH THE BEST
CHCS ACROSS FAR NRN MO AND CNTRL AND ERN IL...OR THE FAR NRN AND
NERN PERIPHERY OF THE FA.

(WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY)

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BREAKS DOWN TO SOME EXTENT OVER OUR AREA AS A
STRONG SHORTWAVE TROF PASSES ACROSS THE WRN GREAT LAKES REGION AND
DIVES SEWD TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC.  THIS WILL WEAKEN THE CAP...
ALLOW A SFC CDFNT TO PASS THRU MAINLY WEDNESDAY AFTN-EVNG AND SHOULD
RESULT IN A CHC FOR TSRA AT THAT TIME.  WEAK HI PRES BUILDS IN FOR
THURSDAY AND SHOULD KEEP US DRY.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN VERY WARM WEDNESDAY...BUT PERHAPS NOT QUITE AS
WARM AS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WITH TEMPS SLIDING BACK TO OR JUST
BELOW NORMAL FOR THURSDAY.

(FRIDAY - NEXT SATURDAY)

IT IS THIS PERIOD...AND PERHAPS NOT SURPRISINGLY...THAT THE GUIDANCE
DIVERGES THE MOST.  THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE COMPLETELY FLIPPED WITH
THE GFS NOW ADVERISING A RE-ASSERTION OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER
OUR AREA WHILE THE ECMWF DELAYS IT WITH AN UPPER LO DEVELOPING OVER
THE OH VALLEY.  THE GFS SEEMS MORE LIKELY GIVEN THE TIME OF YEAR BUT
GIVEN THIS YEAR SO FAR...EVEN ODDITIES LIKE THE ECMWF SEEM
PLAUSIBLE.  FCST MAX TEMPS NEAR NORMAL IS A COMPROMISE BETWEEN A
RETURN OF THE HEAT FROM MONDAY-TUESDAY A LA THE GFS AND A MUCH
COOLER SOLUTION PER THE ECMWF UNTIL A CLEARER SIGNAL IS SEEN.

TES

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1225 PM CDT SAT JUL 6 2013

WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN THIS
AFTERNOON AS A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM CROSSES THE AREA.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF STORMS...BUT HEAVY RAIN
REDUCING VSBYS TO IFR CONDITIONS...SMALL HAIL...AND GUSTY WINDS TO
AROUND 30-40KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. ANY
STORMS THAT DO FORM SHOULD MOSTLY DISSIPATE BY 01-02Z. ANY
LOCATIONS THAT GET RAIN THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WILL HAVE A
FOG THREAT TONIGHT AS WELL.

THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL KICK UP LATE TONIGHT ACROSS NORTHEAST
MISSOURI AND WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS...RESULTING IN SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MORNING ACROSS THOSE AREAS. THERE
IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS COULD DEVELOP AS
FAR SOUTH AS THE STL METRO AREA AND POINTS EAST...BUT STORMS ARE
MUCH MORE LIKELY FURTHER NORTH.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL...WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO
BE A CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON AS A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
CROSSES THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE MAIN THEAT SHOULD BE EAST OF THE
TERMINAL. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF STORMS...BUT
HEAVY RAIN REDUCING VSBYS TO IFR CONDITIONS...SMALL HAIL...AND
GUSTY WINDS TO AROUND 30-40KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST
STORMS. ANY STORMS THAT DO FORM SHOULD MOSTLY DISSIPATE BY 01-02Z.

EXPECTING SOME SCATTERED STORMS NORTH OF STL EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING...AND THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THAT THE STORMS COULD MAKE
IT AS FAR SOUTH AS THE STL METRO AREA. HOWEVER...ANY SHOWERS OR
STORMS IN THE METRO AREA LOOK TO BE PRETTY WEAK SO HAVE LEFT
MENTION OUT OF THE STL TAF FOR NOW.
