AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
543 PM CDT Sat Jun 21 2014

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 322 PM CDT Sat Jun 21 2014

Thunderstorm trends remain the primary focus of the short term
forecast.  Expecting storms up over northeast MO and west central IL
to become more widespread through boundary interactions and
collisions.  Airmass is very unstable with SBCAPE in excess of 4500
J/kg and SB-LIs of -9 to -10 all the way back into central and east
central MO.  Expect that outflows from the storms up north will
propagate southward which will provide triggers for further
development.  Storms could form into clusters or perhaps even a
broken line before dissipating this evening, most likely somewhere
near or just south of the Missouri River.  There may be some patchy
fog late tonight in any areas that receive rain this evening, but
have left mention out for now due to the potentially patchy nature
of the rain.  Temperatures tonight should be similar to what we
experienced last night so used a blend of guidance and persistence
for lows tonight.

.LONG TERM:  (Sunday through Next Saturday)
Issued at 322 PM CDT Sat Jun 21 2014

The current pattern we are in will continue relatively unaltered
through late Thursday, with a flat west-east mid-level flow and
periodic effects from upper level disturbances or MCVs.  This
alludes to a continuation of our unsettled wx and TSRA chances thru
much of this period, only being limited when available moisture
becomes a factor, or enhanced when a clear focus can be seen.

Rich atmospheric moisture will continue in place over our region
into Monday night, with PWs in excess of 1.5", tailing off a bit on
Tuesday and Wednesday, and returning for Thursday.

With that in mind, a similar setup will be found Sunday that we have
had the past few days for most locations, with weak boundaries, very
weak CINH and hi instability during the peak heating times, which
then fade with sunset.  Some enhanced PoPs were maintained in
northeast MO for late afternoon with influences from the southern
periphery of the MCV du jour which is expected to be centered in IA
at that time, but by and large, the convection looks to be pretty
random, forming where enough local convergence can occur to initiate
and will be hard to detect until we get closer.

Better chances for SHRA/TSRA are expected on Monday and Monday night
with a more significant shortwave TROF that will pass into this
convectively favorable atmosphere--and went likely PoPs as a result.

Tuesday and Wednesday, at this time, look to be a couple of dry days
for most areas, but an intrusion from a strong enough upper level
disturbance would change that.

Rain chances return for a widespread area on Thursday with the
return of rich and deep moisture and another upper level shortwave.

A deep and amplified upper TROF is then expected to dig into the
western CONUS for the end of the week.  The models diverge on what
this means for our area, but they do agree on rising heights and
upper ridging returning, but aren't as sure on if that will be
accompanied by upper level disturbances or not.  At this point, felt
prudent to fall back to climo PoPs in most places given the model
impasse.

Temps will remain relatively unchanged the next seven days with
temps at or a bit above normal, with Monday looking like the only
day where some areas may see below normal temps depending on how
fast the clouds and rain move in.

.AVIATION:  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Sunday Evening)
Issued at 516 PM CDT Sat Jun 21 2014

Broken line of convection extending from PPQ sw through COU will
move southeastward into the St Louis metro area this evening, from
about 01Z to 03Z Sunday. Could not rule out isolated showers/storms
impacting UIN and COU early this evening, but it appears that most
of the convection should be southeast of UIN and COU by 00Z
Sunday. After the convection weakens and shifts southeast of the
taf sites late this evening there should only be high level
convective debris cloudiness. There may be some fog late
tonight/early Sunday morning due to recent rainfall and light
surface winds. Diurnal cumulus clouds will develop again late
Sunday morning and afternoon with at least widely scattered
showers/storms expected Sunday afternoon. Surface winds should be
mainly s-swly on Sunday.

Specifics for KSTL: The broken line of convection should move
through STL around 01-03Z this evening. After this mainly just high
level clouds along with light winds for the remainder of the
night. Diurnal cumulus clouds will develop again late Sunday
morning and afternoon with at least widely scattered
showers/storms Sunday afternoon into the evening. Light surface
wind will become swly Sunday afternoon, then weaken again Sunday
evening.
