AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
656 AM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Tonight)
Issued at 233 AM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014

Rather messy ongoing convection will lead to a lower confidence
forecast thru this period. As mentioned in the prev AFD, expect
ongoing MCS to continue ewd thru sunrise and shud be on the ern
fringes of the CWA by 15z. This shud allow for some dry time
during peak heating to allow the wrmfnt to lift nwd. Of course,
this meteorologist had a similar outlook for yesterday, which did
not turn out so well.

Largest question involves timing of convection initiation this
afternoon/evening. Mid level jet streak ahead of the main trof
currently in TX is progd to reach AR/srn MO around mid-day. Many
mdl solns suggest this shud help initialize convection this
afternoon and spread it newd into srn portions of the CWA. Have
kept high chance POPs this afternoon to account for this, but
believe focus will be along the cdfnt just w of the CWA. Expect
TSRA to develop w of the CWA and move into the area late this
afternoon and thru the evening hours. Storms shud be over far ern
counties around 06z tonight and quickly move out of the CWA by
09z.

Not much has changed in thinking for storm mode, so will not go
into great detail. Initial storm mode shud be supercells which
gradually grow upscale into a QLCS. Given progd hodographs, amount
of deep layer shear, not to mention low level shear, significant
severe weather is possible this afternoon and thru at least the
evening hours. The main area of concern is the srn half of the
CWA. Further north, with rather steep lapse rates and ample shear,
still expect a threat of severe wx, but expect threat to be
focused more toward large hail.

Mdls also depict K index values in the middle to upper 30 C range,
suggesting more of a heavy rain threat as well. Do not anticipate
any changes to the going FFA, but trends will need to be
monitored.

As for temps, with the trof approaching the region today, expect
the lee cyclogenesis and the wrmfnt to push nwd this afternoon.
Have therefore trended warmer today. Trended twd the cooler MOS
tonight as the sfc ridge builds into the region.

Tilly

.LONG TERM:  (Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 313 AM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014

Large sfc ridge will move into the area behind today's system
bringing a brief period of dry and colder weather. Expect
strong/gusty wly winds on Fri.

Next focus for precip is Sun night as a system passes just se of
the CWA. Mdls have come into better agreement with development and
track of this system. Have therefore increases POPs into the
likely range for sern portions of the CWA. Mdls also suggest
precip over portions of the area as another s/w moves swd thru the
region. Expect mainly sct coverage and have kept lower chance POPs
for these showers.

Generally trended twd a mdl consensus for temps thru the period.
Only main change was to trend a little cooler on Fri night due to
a loss of cloud cover and winds becoming light.

.AVIATION:  (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Friday Morning)
Issued at 643 AM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014

MCS continues to roll E-NE this morning. Outflow has produced a
W-E band of convection roughly centered on a KVIH-KSAR line which
should continue to propagate E-SE with the outflow boundary over
the next few hours, gradually pushing thunderstorm threat south of
STL metro. Meanwhile, additional elevated storms over western MO
will be lifting northeast over the next few hours, brushing KCOU
area while heading into KUIN. Expect most thunderstorm activity
affecting TAF sites to end in the 14-16z time frame, and then AMS
will begin to reset for another round of strong to possibly severe
convection this evening. Will fine-tune this threat in later
issuances.

Specifics for KSTL: Over the next several hours KSTL TAF will be
on the n fringes of the convection associated with the southward
sagging outflow boundary. Threat of thunderstorms should be ending
no later than mid morning, and there should then be several hours
of tranquil/VFR conditions while AMS begins to recover and
destabilize, setting the stage for another round of intense
convection this evening.
