AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1249 PM CDT WED APR 10 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 331 AM CDT WED APR 10 2013

MAIN CONCERN TODAY CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER CONVECTION HAS BEEN MOVING ACROSS
WESTERN MISSOURI THE PAST FEW HOURS AND HAS CAUSED SOME LOCALLY
GUSTY WINDS.  THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY IN THE LAST TWO HOURS THAT WILL
MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MISSOURI AS WELL AS WEST CENTRAL
ILLINOIS THROUGH 12Z.  WHILE THIS BOUNDARY MAY CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST
THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE LOW LEVEL JET VEERS...THIS TREND WILL
LIKELY END BY MID MORNING AS DEEP LAYER FLOW BACKS IN RESPONSE
TROUGH ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER FLOW TO OUR WEST.  DO EXPECT
SHOWERS AND STORMS TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH
THE DAY AS LARGE MID-LEVEL ASCENT INCREASES AHEAD OF AFOREMENTIONED
TROUGH.  LATEST RAP/LOCAL WRF/GFS ALL SHOW THAT 925-850MB MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT
BETWEEN 18-24Z WHICH WILL INCREASE AREAL COVERAGE OF STORMS.  MODEL
GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTS THAT SURFACE LOW WILL STILL BE JUST
NORTHWEST OF STL AT 18Z WITH THE SURFACE FRONT EXTENDING TO THE
SOUTH.  IF THIS IS THE CASE...THEN AMPLE INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER
SHEAR OF 40-50KTS WILL FAVOR A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.  THE
PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE HAIL AND WIND...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A
FEW TORNADOES GIVEN 0-1KM BULK SHEAR AROUND 20KTS.  THE DEEP LAYER
FLOW BEING NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE SURFACE FRONT SUGGESTS THAT STORMS
THAT DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD FRONT TODAY WILL QUICKLY MERGE INTO A
LINE AS THEY MOVE EAST.  WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL AS THE PARALLEL FLOW ALSO FAVORS CELL TRAINING IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 1.5 INCHES.  FLASH
FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE RATHER HIGH GIVEN THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN
MUCH RAINFALL SO FAR THIS MONTH...SO WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING ANY
FLOOD WATCH.

.LONG TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 331 AM CDT WED APR 10 2013

SLOW MOVING MID-UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE EWD THROUGH NEBRASKA TGT
AND INTO WRN IA BY 12Z THU...WHILE A SFC LOW JUST NW OF STL MOVES
INTO NERN IL BY 12Z THU.  A COLD FRONT TRAILING THE SFC LOW WILL
SWEEP E OF OUR FORECAST AREA BY 12Z THU. PREFER THE NCEP 4 KM WRF
SOLUTION WHICH HAS MOST OF THE CONVECTION ACROSS NERN AND CNTRL MO
AND W CNTRL IL AROUND 00Z THU...THEN MOVES IT RELATIVELY QUICKLY
EWD WITH MOST OF THE CONVECTION LATE TGT ACROSS SERN MO AND SWRN
IL. THIS CONVECTION SHOULD BE E-SE OF OUR FORECAST AREA BY 12Z
THU. THE NAM MODEL APPEARS TO HAVE A LITTLE TOO MUCH POST FRONTAL
PRECIPITATION TGT. THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS THIS EVNG MAINLY ACROSS SERN MO AND SWRN IL...S AND E OF STL
AS THE LINE OF CONVECTION MOVES THROUGH THIS AREA. COOLER
TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED LATE TGT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NERN AND
CNTRL MO DUE TO STRONG LOW LEVEL CAA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT/850 MB
TROUGH. LITTLE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED ON THU AS THE DRY SLOT
MOVES NEWD INTO OUR AREA...THERE MAY BE SOME LIGHT RAIN ACROSS
NERN MO AND W CNTRL IL IN THE WRAP AROUND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE S OF
THE SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL LOW AND AN ASSOCIATED OCCLUDED SFC
LOW IN IA. STRONG CAA WILL CONTINUE ON THU WITH BELOW NORMAL HIGH
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED. THE ZERO DEGREE C 850 MB ISOTHERM SHOULD
DROP SEWD TO AT LEAST STL BY 00Z FRI. COLD CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE THU NGT THROUGH FRI NGT AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES NEWD
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND A SFC RIDGE BUILDS SEWD INTO
MO. A STRONG NW FLOW SHORTWAVE DROPPING SEWD THROUGH IA AND IL FRI
NGT WILL BRING A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR INTO THE REGION.
WILL SEE THE START OF A WARMING TREND SAT AFTN AS THE UPPER LEVEL
HEIGHTS BEGIN TO RISE...AND AS THE SFC/850 MB RIDGE SHIFTS SE OF
OUR FORECAST AREA WITH SFC/LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOMING S/SWLY BY SAT
AFTN OR EVNG. MODELS STILL HINTING AT SOME WAA PRECIPITATION SAT
NGT INTO SUN MRNG. THEN THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE PRECIPITATION
BEGINNING SUN NGT OR MON AS A COLD FRONT SAGS SLOWLY SWD THROUGH
THE REGION...THEN BECOMES NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS OUR FORECAST
AREA.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1240 PM CDT WED APR 10 2013

PLENTY OF AVIATION CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS DUE TO SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS LOW CEILINGS. IFR CEILINGS AROUND 500
FEET HAVE ALREADY BECOME PREVALENT AT KCOU AND KUIN ALONG WITH
LIGHT-MODERATE RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT. SEE NO REASON WHY THESE AFOREMENTIONED CEILINGS WOULD
IMPROVE LOOKING SO PREVAILED IFR CEILINGS UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING
WHEN CONDITIONS SHOULD FINALLY IMPROVE AS SFC LOW DEPARTS TO THE
NORTH AND EAST. FOR THE METRO TAFS...AREA IS STILL IN THE WARM
SECTOR AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS
POSSIBLE THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE MAIN PUSH OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING. SOME OF THESE STORMS STILL
HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRONG TO SEVERE ALTHOUGH HIGHER
LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE STORMS WILL PROBABLY JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST OF
METRO TAF SITES WHERE BETTER INSTABILITY RESIDES. CEILINGS SHOULD
LOWER IN THE WAKE OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH LIGHT
RAIN CONTINUING EARLY TOMORROW MORNING.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL...

METROPOLITAN ST. LOUIS IS STILL IN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON BEFORE MAIN PUSH OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVES THROUGH
THIS EVENING. SOME OF THESE STORMS STILL HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF
BEING STRONG TO SEVERE ALTHOUGH HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE STORMS
WILL PROBABLY JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST OF ST. LOUIS WHERE
BETTER INSTABILITY RESIDES. CEILINGS SHOULD LOWER IN THE WAKE OF
THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH LIGHT RAIN CONTINUING EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING. CEILINGS ARE THEN FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE MVFR
CATEGORY BY MID AFTERNOON.
