AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday night)
ISSUED AT 243 PM CDT SAT OCT 5 2013

As a strong cold front approaches the western fringes of our CWA at
the time of this writing, showers and thunderstorms have developed
as expected.

The front is expected to be approximately halfway across our CWA
around midnight, then exiting the southeast corner of our CWA around
12Z (7AM) Sunday. As the front crosses the region, widespread
showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop. There is a
slight risk of a few storms becoming severe this afternoon and
evening with damaging winds being the main threat.

Aside from a stray severe thunderstorm or two, another, perhaps
bigger concern will be post-frontal heavy rainfall between midnight
and midday Sunday generally over the southeast half of our CWA.
With flow aloft becoming almost parallel to the frontal boundary,
the approach of the right entrance region of a jet max, and PWATs >=
1.5 inches, a NE-SW swath of heavy rainfall is expected to develop
over the aforementioned area. FFG guidance is rather high for most
of our counties, so see no need for any headlines at this time.

Precipitation chances are expected to slowly diminish from northwest
to southeast starting around mid morning Sunday. Beyond that dry
conditions are expected to continue through the rest of the short
term period, but a much cooler airmass overspreading the region will
lower temperatures and humidities considerably through the end of
the period.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 243 PM CDT SAT OCT 5 2013

Models agree on a mainly dry forecast in the extended forecast with
cooler air in place. The latest model runs agree on high pressure at
the surface bisecting the forecast area. In addition they indicate
ridging aloft in conjunction at the surface which would dictate a
dry forecast. Skies will be mainly clear although cant rule out a
few friendly cue in the afternoons. Moisture is very slow to return
to the area mainly due to the light transport winds in the boundary
layer. Even when the winds shift southerly late in the forecast they
still remain light. That is until late in the weekend day
8...another system takes shape over the plains and is poised to move
into the heartland late in the weekend. The GFS is not very stable
from run to run with the timing of this system. However the ecmwf
seems to be steady with the timing over the last two runs.

Below normal temperatures will moderate back to normal as we
approach the middle of the week.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED AT 605 PM CDT SAT OCT 5 2013

MVFR and Possible brief IFR conditions expected with storms
overnight. Expect winds to veer to the northwest in the fronts
wake then slowly back to the west toward sunrise. Expect VFR
conditions to return to the west after 12z and clearing the east
no later than 18z. May see some patchy fog at KCGI around sunrise.
Winds will be gusty and out ot the west by late morning.
