AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
143 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
.SHORT TERM: (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 137 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
Ongoing regional severe weather event will persist into the evening
hours across the LSX CWA. New convective development is anticipated
to the west along an approaching cold front with eventual upscale
growth into a QLCS. Sufficient shear and instability are available
to produce all types of severe weather, including tornadoes, large
hail, and damaging wind gusts. The greatest tornado threat is across
the southern half of the CWA and anywhere storms might happen to
intersect boundaries such as the synoptic warm front or outflow
boundaries left over from earlier convection.
Kanofsky
.LONG TERM: (Friday through Next Thursday)
Issued at 137 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
The aforementioned cold front should have moved through the entire
CWA by 12z Fri with only some -SHRA lingering across the northern
CWA during the morning hours as the upper low continues moving away
from the region. The tight pressure gradient behind the departing
low pressure system will produce breezy conditions through Fri
afternoon. Winds then gradually subside during the late afternoon
and early evening hours once the pressure gradient relaxes.
A surface high then builds in to the region on Fri night with the
center of the surface high located overhead by 12z Sat. The
combination of cooler post-frontal air and good radiational cooling
conditions will produce chilly overnight lows on late Fri
night/early Sat morning. Most locations will be around 10 degrees
below normal with overnight lows expected to be in the upper 20s to
lower 30s. Quiet weather is anticipated on Sat due to the influence
of the surface high.
Meanwhile, another shortwave will lift through northern Mexico,
reaching TX and AR by Sun night. This feature could bring
precipitation to the southeastern CWA on Sun-Mon, especially on Sun
night. Another vort max is forecast to drop down the back side of a
highly amplified trough on Mon night, possibly bringing
precipitation to the area on Tue. Generally expect average to below
average temperatures since the winds maintain an easterly component
(around the south side of a high pressure center over the Great
Lakes) or a northerly component (north of the surface low associated
with the Sun-Mon system) through the middle of next week.

.AVIATION: (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 114 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2014
Active and growing convection along w-e outflow boundary from
Ozarks to s sections of STL metro should be lifting north
throughout the afternoon, with at least MVFR and more likely occasional
IFR conditions in more robust convection. Still expecting yet
another round of convection along and advance of the cold front
sweeps across the region late this afternoon and this evening. here
is an extensive area of IFR cigs in the wake of the cold front
over KS, and while these cigs should lift a bit during the
afternoon think MVFR cigs will overspread the area from west to
east in the wake of the front.
Specifics for KSTL: W-E band of convection is expected to lift
north across the area by mid afternoon, with at least IFR vsbys
due to torrential downpours in stronger cells. This area should
lift north of the area by late afternoon, with another round of
strong/intense convection ahead of the cold front this evening.
MVFR cigs will settle into the area with fropa around midnight, with
these cigs persisting into late Friday morning.
