AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
553 AM CST MON DEC 14 2015

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Late This Afternoon)
Issued at 335 AM CST Mon Dec 14 2015

Although the period of steady rain has ended now that the axis
of strongest moisture convergence has progressed eastward, scattered
to numerous showers were still occurring early this morning farther
back over MO/KS/AR/OK. These showers are associated with the upper
low center, which was located near the MO/KS border at 09z per
satellite imagery and RAP analyses. These showers will accompany the
upper low today as it tracks northeastward from MO into IL/WI,
leading to periods of rain across MO/IL. Simultaneously, a vort lobe
rotating around the back side of the departing upper low may bring
an increased chance of showers to parts of northeast MO/west central
IL this aftn. The PoP grids attempt to reflect this complexity.

Stronger winds aloft will be transported down to the surface today,
leading to windy conditions at times. Both sustained winds and gusts
appear to remain below advisory criteria attm.

Non-diurnal temperatures are expected again today due to the
competing influences of CAA behind a cold front, diurnal warming,
and lingering precip/cloud cover.

Kanofsky

.LONG TERM:  (Tonight through Sunday)
Issued at 335 AM CST Mon Dec 14 2015

(Tonight)

Dry weather is in the offing for the area as relatively narrow NW-SE
oriented surface ridge in the wake of today's system passes through
the region.  Primary question is cloud trends, and although the
tendency should be a clearing of the post system low cloudiness from
SW to NE guidance varies a great deal on how quickly this will
occur.  MOS output based on the NAM...with its typically moist low
levels...holds onto a good deal of low cloudiness into Tuesday
morning, while GFS MOS certainly suggests a decrease in the cloud
cover. Given that the low level wind forecasts have a pronounced
westerly component that should aid in clearing of the low
cloudiness, will lean towards trends suggested by GFS MOS. Some
fog is certainly possible as well given the water-logged ground
across the region and decreasing winds as the surface ridge works
into the area, but will let day shift take another look at
this before including in forecast.

(Tuesday-Wednesday)

Heading into the middle of the week attention turns to potent and
fast moving upper level system that migrates from the central Plains
into the upper Mississippi Valley Tuesday afternoon-Wednesday
afternoon.  With forcing well to the north and with limited moisture
return, it still appears rain threat with this system will be rather
low. Overall forecast trends remain the same, although did attempt
to fine-tune the timing of the rain threat just a bit due to the
good agreement in the 00z solutions WRT movement of upper level
features as well as surface cold front.

(Thursday-Sunday)

No major changes in forecast specifics during this time frame, with
all NWP solutions still indicating deep upper trof developing over
the central CONUS Thursday-Friday.  The drop in heights over the
region should finally allow a much more typical early winter AMS to
settle into the mid Mississippi Valley, with 850mb temps of at
least -10C progged into the area by Friday morning. This cool
down should bring the CWA its first real taste of winter
temperatures with highs in the 30s to low 40s by Friday...first
time temps have been near or below their daily averages since
early this month.

However, it appears that these winter temperatures will be short-
lived, as progressive UA pattern allows strong ridging to build back
across the central CONUS during the upcoming weekend as deep trof
works its way into the eastern U.S.  AMS over the region should
modify quickly during this transition, and the main question is
how fast this modification will occur. If tonight's medium range
solutions are correct warmup could begin already on Saturday, but
given the fact that models are often too fast in a high amplitude
regime will keep Saturday's temps on the cool side, and begin the
warmup in earnest on Sunday, with highs returning to the 40s and
50s.

It still appears that dry conditions will dominate the CWA during
the Thursday-Sunday temperature roller coaster.

.AVIATION:  (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Tuesday Morning)
Issued at 530 AM CST Mon Dec 14 2015

Scattered showers will continue this morning until an upper level
low pressure center has lifted northeast of the area. Brief
downpours have been observed with some of the showers, temporarily
reducing vsbys below 2 miles. Gusty southwest winds are expected
for most of the day with gusts reaching 20-30 kts. Winds should
decrease after 15/00z. Ceilings were highly variable overnight,
but a general improvement is expected for the first part of the
day until wrap-around clouds with MVFR bases arrive later this
morning and into the afternoon. There is some uncertainty on how
quickly these clouds will clear out tonight. Any areas which
experience partial clearing tonight should see patchy fog
development after due to light winds and moist ground conditions.
