Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 12:21 PM CDT, 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 1221 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2015 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late This Afternoon) Issued at 422 AM CDT Mon Jun 8 2015 Thunderstorms continue to move through mainly east central and southeast MO and southwest IL along and ahead of a weakening cold front moving southeastward through our area. These storms were very efficient at producing high rainfall rates. The front will continue moving southeastward today as an upper level trough moves eastward through the Great Lakes region. The models continue to depict strong upper level divergence this morning across portions of central and southeast MO and southwest IL in the right entrance region of an upper level jet streak moving northeastward through the Great Lakes region just ahead of the upper level trough. Most of the precipitation this morning should occur across southeast MO and southwest IL, generally south and east of STL. The potential for more showers/storms will continue across parts of southeast MO and southwest IL this afternoon, with some of the models indicating the possibility of a band of post frontal showers and storms moving southeastward through west central and southwest IL this afternoon into the evening hours in an area of enhanced instability ahead of a northwest flow shortwave. GKS .LONG TERM: (Tonight through Sunday) Issued at 422 AM CDT Mon Jun 8 2015 May continue to have a few lingering showers/storms across parts of IL and southeast MO this evening until the upper level trough shifts east of our region and the atmosphere stabilizes. Slightly cooler, more normal minimum temperatures for tonight. Tranquil and dry weather on tap for Tuesday and Tuesday night. Warmer and more humid conditions Wednesday as the upper level ridge over the southern Plains tries to build back northeastward into our area and the 850 mb temperatures rise. A front will try to sag southward into northeast MO and west central IL Wednesday afternoon and night. While there will be little if any upper level forcing for convective initiation along this front, plus possibly enough CIN to cap the atmosphere Wednesday afternoon, there may eventually be scattered convection along it Wednesday night as low to mid level warm air advection increases ahead of a shortwave moving through the northern Plains as indicated by the GFS and NAM models. The ECMWF model keeps the front north of our area and hence keeps it dry across our forecast region through Wednesday night. Thursday looks warm again as the front lifts back northward with strong s-swly low level flow in the warm sector and the convection mainly north and west of our area. More active weather for Friday into the weekend as an upper level trough moving through the Great Lakes region sends a cold front southeastward into our forecast area on Friday. This front will stall out over our area Friday night, and then begin to move back northward as a warm front on Saturday as an upper level ridge tries to build into our area from the southeastern US. GKS && .AVIATION: (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Tuesday Afternoon) Issued at 1220 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2015 VFR conditions are expected with the only exception is if a shower affects KUIN this afternoon with secondary cold front. Northwest to west wind is expected. Specifics for KSTL: VFR conditions expected. CVKING && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES: MO...NONE. IL...NONE. && WFO LSX
