AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
348 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2014

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 234 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2014

(Tonight)

Main focus through tonight will be cold front and associated risk for
showers and thunderstorms. Degree of instability is still a concern and
a source of uncertainty. Dewpoints have really struggled to climb so
far today due to persistent southeasterly surface flow. Winds are expected
to veer to the south/southwest as a subtle warm front lifts north to near
the I-70 corridor by 0000 UTC this evening. This should allow sfc dewpoints
to at least climb into the 50s across the southern half of the area. That
being said...instability is likely to be on the marginal side for severe
thunderstorms...on the order of several hundred J/kg. Wind shear will be
supportive however of organized convection over the southern CWA with
40+ knots of 0-6 km shear just downstream of approaching shortwave trough.
Regardless of the severity of storms tonight...believe widespread showers
and thunderstorms will affect the entire CWA due to very strong forcing for
ascent aloft via DCPVA ahead of vort max and jet coupling. This strong
upper-level support may help overcome the lack of instability and may
lead to more strong/severe storms with damaging straight-line winds being
the primary threat. Frontal timing and associated ending to precipitation
is even more delayed than this time yesterday...with frontal timing just
after 0000 UTC likely along the Mississippi River including the St. Louis
metropolitan area and around 0400 UTC for KSLO/K3LF.

Skies will quickly clear overnight tonight with northwesterly winds gradually
lightening up a bit. Look for lows in the 40s to near 50 degrees across the
area and went with a consensus of guidance for mins tonight.

.LONG TERM:  (Friday through Next Thursday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2014

With sfc ridge building into the region on Fri, have continued
warm trend aoa MOS thru Sat.

Mdls remain in relatively good agreement regarding the system
approaching the area on Sun into Mon. A lot can change by Sun and
will not focus much on details, but Sun and/or Mon will have a
potential for svr wx. Timing differs among mdl guidance, but GFS
suggests main threat will be Sun, while the ECMWF suggests the
threat continuing into Mon.

For Tues and beyond, large upper low will remain anchored over the
region thru much of the week. Will need to keep an eye on temps
during this time as going forecast may be too cold. While this
period shud be cooler, expect cloud to become bkn during the
morning and into afternoon allowing low topped convection to occur.
For now, will trend near a guidance compromise.

.AVIATION:  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 1216 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2014

Round of pre-frontal precpitation beginning to affect KCOU and
should also affect KUIN with shra/embedded thunder possible.
Ceilings/visibilities may dip down into MVFR category early this
afternoon. Frontal timing a bit slower than earlier
forecast...around 2100 UTC at KCOU...2300 UTC at KUIN...and
0000-0200 UTC at metro TAF sites. More instability as you head
south...but round of thunderstorms expected at terminals with
brief periods of IFR visbys in heavy rain possible. Showers are
expected to linger behind front for a few hours. Winds will shift
to the northwest behind front with brief gusts along/just behind
front from 25-30 knots. Skies will quickly clear out overnight
tonight with winds backing to the west/southwest Friday.

Specifics for KSTL:

Round of pre-frontal is expected to weaken as it heads east toward
terminal so uncertain whether or not some light rain showers will
affect the site. Frontal timing a bit slower than earlier
forecast...around 0100 UTC. More instability as you head
south...but round of thunderstorms expected at terminal with
brief periods of IFR visbys in heavy rain possible. Showers are
expected to linger behind front for a few hours. Winds will shift
to the northwest behind front with brief gusts along/just behind
front from 25-30 knots. Skies will quickly clear out overnight
tonight with winds backing to the west/southwest Friday afternoon.
