AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
612 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2014

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Late This Afternoon)
Issued at 320 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2014

A MCS has been going on across eastern IA and northwestern IL for a
good part of the overnight and the forward flank of it is
propagating slowly east-southeast.  Further south over our region,
southerly surface flow prevailed, and thanks to areas of clouds, are
keeping temps much warmer than where they were 24 hours ago, with
readings hovering near 70 in many locales.

Models not doing a very good job with handling the MCS to our north,
although the HRRR is about the most believable.  The main flow and
Corfidi vectors suggest this MCS will still mainly propagate E-SE
with the main body remaining to the north of our region, but this is
kicking off an outflow and with a weak lo level jet nosing into
northeast MO, cannot rule out some sunrise surprise in the way of
widely scattered TSRA.  The outflow dropping south may further
enable TSRA development into central IL heading deeper into the
morning and remain thru the afternoon, expanding westward into
northern MO.

As the heating of the day kicks in by midday, much of our region to
the west of STL will be in a weak CINH, very high moisture
environment and may be able to fire off isolated to scattered TSRA
during the afternoon.  Rain chances look less likely into southern
IL, depending on how the MCS to the north actually evolves.

Due to all of the dependencies on clouds and rain chances, it will
be hard to get a firm handle on temps today.  A MOS blend looks like
a reasonably good start, with above normal temps for many areas as
readings in the 80s are attained.

TES

.LONG TERM:  (Tonight through Monday)
Issued at 347 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2014

Primary concern remains upcoming potential for heavy rain tonight
into Wednesday.  The longwave trof over the western CONUS will
continue to deepen and move east tonight.  The leading edge of the
trof should be out over the eastern Plains by 00Z which will force
lee-side cyclogenesis back over the Colorado/Kansas border.  The low
level jet ahead of the developing low level system system will
increase to 50-60kts resulting in impressive moisture transport from
the southeast.  GFS and NAM both show a tremendous amount of
moisture convergence over northern Missouri/southern Iowa on the
nose of the low level jet tonight.  The exact placement of the
heaviest rain is still in question with the GFS being further south
into our area, and the NAM being further north in Iowa.  A deep
warm-cloud layer and P-wats over 2.3 inches will certainly provide a
rich environment for heavy rain.  However, the SREF seems to agree
more with the NAM, as do the ARW and NMM WRF models.  Will therefore
hold off issuing any flooding headlines and let the day shift take
another look.

Guidance is in decent agreement in pushing the surface front through
the area Wednesday afternoon.  The low level jet ahead of the front
does diminish somewhat, but all models continue to show a 30-50kt
jet through much of the day with moisture convergence continuing
over the area.  Think there will be ongoing precip ahead of the
front, tho areal coverage is somewhat uncertain.  However, any
sunshine should allow for a rapid warm up in southwest flow and
18-20C temperatures at 850mb.  Therefore stuck pretty close to MOS
highs in spite of potential for a lot of cloud cover and rain
through the day.  Storms should form up into a line ahead of the
front in the afternoon and move south of the area by mid-late
evening.  Still think there is a decent chance for some of the
storms to be severe given the strong winds aloft and the possibility
that downdrafts could mix these winds to the surface.

Much cooler air will filter into the area and behind the front for
Thursday.  Temperatures will fall below normal, and are expected to
stay below normal through Monday.  Highs through the period will
mainly be in the mid 60s to around 70 with lows as low as the low to
mid 40s.  This will be 15-20 degrees below normal for
mid-September.  The only significant chance for precipitation beyond
Wednesday evening looks to be on Friday when another shortwave dives
southeast out of the northern Plains across the Midwest.

.AVIATION:  (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Wednesday Morning)
Issued at 611 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2014

VFR conditions are expected outside of TSRA along with southerly
surface winds thru the valid period. A period of TSRA should get
close to UIN this morning enough for VCTS. Elsewhere for the rest
of the day, chances look pretty sparse--enough for a mention in
the public forecast but not enough for a terminal point forecast.
The main show for rain gets going later this evening and will
mainly affect UIN, but to a lesser extent COU, and should hold off
sufficiently to the north and west of STL Metro to prevent a
mention in the forecast for now. A 45kt low level jet will get
going over a COU-UIN axis late tonight, but it also coincides with
decent coverage in TSRA in these areas and so any LLWS mention would
be redundant with shear implied in TSRA.

Specifics for KSTL: VFR and southerly winds thru the valid period
outside of TSRA. While there will be a TSRA threat in the
afternoon, it looks too small to warrant a mention. The better
rain chances should hold off until Wednesday morning.
