AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
641 PM CDT Wed Mar 25 2015

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 410 PM CDT Wed Mar 25 2015

Focus for tonight will be TSRA chances and potential flooding.

Convection allowing mdls are in generally good agreement with
ongoing TSRA intensifying over the next few hours and spreading ewd
reaching the srn portions of the CWA around 00z this evening. Some
training will be possible early in the event. However, by 06z, cells
shud be more progressive and transitioning ewd withe more stratiform
precip behind the leading line thru the morning hours.

This presents a question of how much rainfall will occur overnight.
Believe threat for flooding is not as great as previously thought.
However, with the area receiving precip yesterday, TSRA expected
tonight with stratiform precip expected behind, feel the threat is
still high enuf to keep the watch going.

As for temps, have trended twd the cooler guidance with fropa
tonight.

.LONG TERM:  (Thursday through Next Wednesday)
Issued at 410 PM CDT Wed Mar 25 2015

Precip shud be moving out of the region by 15z Thurs leaving the
remainder of the day dry. With clouds clearing, have trended twd the
warmer guidance with deep mixing expected.

Not much change from the prev forecast.  Mdls are in good agreement
with a strong s/w digging into the region Thurs night into Fri
bringing a cooler airmass into the region. Mdls are now suggesting
light precip with this s/w and have added low PoPs for this time
period. Have kept low for now, but if this signal remains
persistent, these PoPs will need to be increased drastically.
Soundings for this time period suggests SN will be possible when sfc
temps are cool enuf. Still some questions regarding p-types and will
modify as the system approaches.

Temps gradually moderate with mdls in fairly good agreement thru
next Tues. Upper air pattern becomes more zonal with a cdfnt will
bring chance of RA on Sun with another fnt bringing a chance for
TSRA on Wed into Thurs.
