AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
656 AM CDT TUE AUG 18 2015

.SHORT TERM: (THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 312 AM CDT TUE AUG 18 2015

ACTIVE WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT FEW FORECAST PERIODS.
AN UPPER LEVEL VORT MAX WILL SWING THROUGH NEB TODAY BEFORE IT
LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD AND DEEPENS OVER IA/MN. A SECONDARY VORT MAX
THEN MOVES THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH ON WED/WED NIGHT AND
DRIVES A COLD FRONT THROUGH MO/IL. LARGE SCALE LIFT AHEAD OF
THESE FEATURES WILL SUPPORT PERIODS OF SH/TS, ESPECIALLY TONIGHT
AND TOMORROW.

0-6KM SHEAR WILL BE INCREASING THIS AFTN/EVE ACROSS THE
NORTHWESTERN CWA. MOST MODELS AGREE ON ~30 KTS OF 0-6 KM SHEAR
ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN CWA BY 00Z, SUGGESTING THAT A FEW STRONG
TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE. SHEAR VALUES THEN INCREASE
MARKEDLY OVERNIGHT AND WED, BUT THE INSTABILITY IS MUCH LOWER
UNTIL WED AFTN, AND EVEN THEN IT IS SPATIALLY LIMITED TO THE
EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN CWA. DEPENDING ON THE SPEED OF THE COLD FRONT
ON WED AND ON THE AMOUNT OF CLOUDINESS AHEAD OF THE FRONT, THERE
MAY BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN CWA TO TAP INTO
40-50 KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON
WED AFTN. PRECIPITATION GRADUALLY TAPERS OFF ON WED NIGHT WITH
INCREASING SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE FRONT.

THE POST-FRONTAL AIR MASS LOOKS RATHER BRISK BY MID-AUGUST
STANDARDS, AND UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES (AROUND 5-10 DEG
BELOW AVERAGE) ARE EXPECTED ON LATE WED NIGHT/EARLY THU MORNING.
AIR TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S MIGHT BE A TO SURPRISE EARLY MORNING
RISERS ON THURSDAY...A SURPRISE TO ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN THE
WEATHER FORECAST.

.LONG TERM: (THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 312 AM CDT TUE AUG 18 2015

WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY DRY FOR THU-FRI UNTIL THE NEXT
TROUGH SWINGS IN FROM THE PACIFIC NW INTO THE PLAINS ON SATURDAY.
THIS SYSTEM MAY BRING SH/TS TO THE AREA FROM SATURDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY.

LOOK FOR RELATIVELY COOL TEMPERATURES TO PERSIST ON THU/FRI, A
WARM-UP ON SAT/SUN WHEN WARM/MOIST AIR IS DRAWN NORTHWARD AHEAD
OF THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM, AND ANOTHER COLD FRONT ON SUN/SUN
NIGHT FOLLOWED BY COOLER TEMPERATURES AGAIN FOR SUN NIGHT INTO
MON.

.AVIATION:  (FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 641 AM CDT TUE AUG 18 2015

RADIATIONAL FOG WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AT KSUS AND KCPS THROUGH 14Z,
OTHERWISE VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MIDDAY.
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON WITH GOOD POTENTIAL FOR IMPACTS AT ALL OF THE TERMINALS.
I HAVE CONSERVATIVELY INTRODUCED TEMPO GROUPS AT ALL OF THE TERMINALS
FOR MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS, HOWEVER THE CONDITIONS COULD CERTAINLY
DROP TO IFR WITH GUSTY WINDS. ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS
EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE TERMINALS THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT
PUSHES INTO THE AREA.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MIDDAY. SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS EASTERN MO WITH GOOD POTENTIAL FOR IMPACTS AT KSTL. I HAVE
CONSERVATIVELY INTRODUCED A TEMPO GROUP FOR MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS,
HOWEVER THE CONDITIONS COULD CERTAINLY DROP TO IFR WITH GUSTY
WINDS. ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE
