AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
437 PM CDT THU JUL 16 2015

.SHORT TERM:  (THROUGH LATE TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 349 PM CDT THU JUL 16 2015

THIS AFTERNOON'S SURFACE AND SATELLITE DATA AS WELL AS THE LATEST
HI-RES SOLUTIONS ARE STILL SUGGESTING A FAIRLY DECENT THREAT OF
CONVECTION OVER OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES AS WE HEAD INTO THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS, WITH SPC MESO ANALYSIS
INDICATING INCREASING SURFACE CONVERGENCE ALONG A KTVK-KUIN AXIS
OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS IN VICINITY OF SURFACE WARM FRONT. IT'S
POSSIBLE THAT THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE TO OUR NORTH AND
MAY JUST BRUSH THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF OUR CWA, BUT FOR NOW WILL
MAINTAIN HIGH CHANCE POPS AND WILL FINE-TUNE TIMING/LOCATION ONCE
CONVECTION SHOWS ITS HAND.

PRIMARY THREAT SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN IN THE 01-03Z TIME FRAME.
HOWEVER, WITH PERSISTENT WAA CONTINUING DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
HAVE MAINTAINED SOME LOWER CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE WAKE
OF THIS EVENINGS ACTIVITY, AND WILL ALLOW THIS THREAT TO DRIFT
SOUTH INTO MID MO AND INTO SW MO.

TRUETT

.LONG TERM:  (FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 349 PM CDT THU JUL 16 2015

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
WITH THE MOST OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS EXPECTED AREAWIDE ON SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. CPD PLOTS SUGGEST A BAND OF MID/HIGH CLOUDS COULD
FILTER THE SUNSHINE ON FRIDAY AND KEEP TEMPS A FEW DEGREES COOLER
THAN THEY WOULD BE OTHERWISE, BUT SFC TEMPS AND DEW POINTS SHOULD
STILL BE HIGH ENOUGH ON FRIDAY TO PRODUCE HEAT INDEX VALUES NEAR
THE CENTURY MARK ACROSS THE GREATER SAINT LOUIS METRO AREA. HEAT
INDEX VALUES WERE ALREADY AT 100 DEGREES ON LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON ACROSS SOME PARTS OF THE SAINT LOUIS METRO...THEREFORE A
HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SAINT LOUIS METRO AREA FROM
FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING TO CAPTURE THE COMBINATION
OF DURATION (4 DAYS WITH HEAT INDICES AOA 100 DEGREES) AND
INTENSITY (MAX HEAT INDICES AOA 105 DEGREES ON BOTH SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY). A SEPARATE HEAT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR
ADDITIONAL COUNTIES IN MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS WHERE HEAT INDEX
VALUES OF 105-110 DEGREES MAY BE REACHED ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. THIS TIME
PERIOD IS WHEN A SHORTWAVE WILL BE PASSING JUST NORTH OF THE CWA
(SD/NE THROUGH IA INTO WI/IL) AND AN E-W ORIENTED COLD FRONT WILL
BE SINKING SOUTHWARD INTO MO/IL. MOISTURE POOLING AHEAD OF THIS
FRONT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE OPPRESSIVE WEEKEND CONDITIONS
DISCUSSED ABOVE, AND BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SHOW PW VALUES
INCREASING TO AROUND 2 INCHES WHICH IS NEARLY AT +2SD FOR JULY IN
THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY. CLEARLY IT HASN'T RAINED ENOUGH
RECENTLY.

ADDITIONAL WEAK DISTURBANCES ALOFT WILL SUPPORT A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS INVOF THE QUASISTATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH
EARLY/MIDDLE NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION:  (FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1245 PM CDT THU JUL 16 2015

HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIRE UP THE NEXT ROUND OF CONVECTION IN THE KUIN
AREA FROM MID AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS DUE TO
APPROACH OF UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE ENERGY DURING MAX HEATING ALONG
WITH ADDITIONAL LOWER LEVEL FORCING DUE TO PROXIMITY OF SURFACE
WARM FRONT. BELIEVE MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL BE OVER NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE FA DURING THE AFOREMENTIONED TIME FRAME; IT'S NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT ADDITIONAL, MORE ELEVATED CONVECTION MAY
TRY TO REDEVELOP LATE THIS EVENING AND DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS
DUE TO THE PERSISTENT WAA, BUT ATTM DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE
ON WHEN OR WHERE THIS WOULD OCCUR TO INCLUDE IN TAFS.  OUTSIDE OF
CONVECTION, EXPECTING VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MIDDAY FRIDAY WITH
CLOUDS AOA 4KFT. SOUTHERLY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON/THIS EVENING
SHOULD GRADUALLY BECOME SOUTHWEST BY FRIDAY MORNING.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: CLOUDS/CEILINGS AOA 4KFT.
