Severe Thunderstorm Warning 110, NWS St. Louis, MO

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
653 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 514 PM CDT Wed May 11 2016

Have canceled SVR Watch in the cold pool in the wake of the
earlier convection. Ample insolation has allowed destabilization
across portions of central MO newd into west central IL. This area
is being monitored for severe potential and based on rapid growth
this morning, would expect strong/severe to develop shortly.
Trends will continue to be monitored and updated as soon as
possible as needed.

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 308 PM CDT Wed May 11 2016

Sfc low continues to lift newd thru the area this afternoon. The
wrmfnt will slowly lift along with it, bringing a very unstable
airmass with it. While ongoing severe TSRA continue to push ewd in
IL, area across central MO continues to destabilize. This area
will become the focus for the next round of storms late this
afternoon thru the evening.

Guidance has room for improvement in the evolution for the
remainder of this event. Believe the NAM Nest, NSSL WRF and local
4km WRF are currently handling it best.

Environment over much of MO is recovering well ahead of the sfc
low with MUCAPE of 3000 J/kg or greater already. Based on the 18z
sounding from SGF, a small cap remains in place. Expect TSRA to
develop over the next few hours and move ewd thru the region
during the evening hours. Focus for convection shud shift swd
after Midnight tonight and out of the area by sunrise Thurs. Main
questions for this eve and overnight will be timing. Storms that
do develop will be capable of being severe.

.LONG TERM...  (Thursday through Next Wednesday)
Issued at 308 PM CDT Wed May 11 2016

System to exit forecast area by Thursday morning. Could see some
lingering showers and thunderstorms over far southern portions of
forecast area through 18z Thursday. Then dry and cooler with highs
only in the low to mid 70s and lows Thursday night in the mid 40s to
low 50s.

Models continue to show next frontal boundary moving into northern
portions of forecast area by Friday afternoon. Some decent CAPES and
convergence along front, so SPC has placed areas along and north of
I70 in a marginal risk for severe storms Friday afternoon and
evening.

Then front exits region by day break on Saturday with dry wx for
remainder of weekend. Highs will only be in the upper 50s to mid
60s. Some extended models bring next weather system into
southwestern MO by Sunday with some showers/storms developing and
spreading northeast towards forecast area late Sunday and Sunday
night. For now only have slight chance/low end chance pops during
this period. Better chances of showers and thunderstorms Monday
through Wednesday with several waves of activity. Temperatures to
remain at or below normal for this time of year.

.AVIATION...  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Thursday Evening)
Issued at 650 PM CDT Wed May 11 2016

Not a lot of change from previous thinking. TSRA likely this
evening, which may be severe. Best chances are for KSTL/KSUS/KCPS,
tho can not be ruled out for KUIN. Believe activity has shifted
east of KCOU. MVFR cigs are expected behind the fnt, tho timing
and exactly how low cigs will be remains uncertain. The cdfnt
will move thru the region, with winds shifting to the W to NW.
Winds will pick up on Thurs to around 12 kts.
