Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
335 PM CDT FRI AUG 5 2016

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 335 PM CDT Fri Aug 5 2016

It appears that the cold front has just passed through COU and
STL looking at their increased north-northwesterly surface winds
along with the tighter surface dew point gradient across northern
MO. Scattered showers and storms were developing across parts of
southeast MO and southwest IL, south and east of STL ahead of the
front where the atmosphere has destabilized due to surface heating.
Should continue to get more convective development, especially
during the late afternoon and early evening hours across southeast
MO and southwest IL as the cold front continues to drop slowly
southward, possibly making it to near the AR border by 12Z Saturday.
Weak shortwaves moving through the area may help to keep the chance
of showers/storms going during the overnight hours across southern
portions of MO and IL.  A surface ridge building southward into the
region behind the cold front will lead to slightly cooler low
temperatures tonight along with lower humidities, particularly for
northeast MO and west central IL.

GKS

.LONG TERM...  (Saturday through Next Friday)
Issued at 335 PM CDT Fri Aug 5 2016

(Saturday through Monday)

The sfc cdfnt is expected to be across srn MO into srn IL Sat
morning. A few showers shud be along and just north of this fnt in
the morning, possibly as far north as I-70 in MO and U.S. 50 in IL.
This activity shud quickly refocus further south with the fnt by the
afternoon. With a large sfc ridge building into the region, have
lowered PoPs Sat afternoon thru the night.

However, for the remainder of the short term, have kept a fair
amount of PoPs going with the region under NW flow and ample
moisture in the region.

The going temp forecast appears to be on track and have made only
minor tweaks. Relatively cool temps are expected thru the period
with ample convective debris expected.

(Tuesday through Friday)

Mdls suggest height rises across the region thru the extd period
which seems reasonable. However, none of the guidance really build
in warmer 700mb temp into the region. The GFS and GEM also suggest
the retreating wrmfnt hanging up across the area providing a focus
thru much of the period. The ECMWF also suggests this to a lesser
degree, but with a weaker sfc boundary.

Due to the higher precip chances, have kept temps lower than what
one would normally expect given the progd 850mb temps. If the rain
does not materialize, temps will likely be some 3-5 degrees warmer.
This will likely cause heat index values to be high enuf for
headlines at some point during this period.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Saturday Afternoon)
Issued at 1125 AM CDT Fri Aug 5 2016

Cold front south of UIN will move southeastward through COU and
the St Louis metro area this afternoon. Most of the showers have
dissipated over our area late this morning. There were some
showers and a few storms over northwest MO which may impact COU
this afternoon. It appears that most of the redevelopment will be
south of the taf sites this afternoon, but would not be surprised
to see a few storms near COU and the St Louis area late this
afternoon and early this evening. The stratus clouds in UIN should
lift and dissipate this afternoon. Prevailing VFR cloud cover
expected outside of the showers/storms. Mainly a west-northwest
surface wind this afternoon, becoming northerly and light
tonight. Some patchy fog is possible late tonight/early Saturday
morning at COU and the St Louis metro area due to a light wind,
and recent rainfall along with surface dew points still
relatively high.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: Cold front south of UIN will move southeastward
through STL this afternoon. Most of the showers have dissipated
over our area late this morning. It appears that most of the
redevelopment will be south of STL this afternoon, but would not
be surprised to see a few storms near STL late this afternoon and
early this evening.  Prevailing VFR cloud cover expected outside
of the showers/storms. Mainly a west-northwest surface wind this
afternoon, becoming northerly and light tonight. Some patchy fog
is possible late tonight/early Saturday morning due to the light
wind, and recent rainfall along with surface dew points still
relatively high.
