Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
649 PM CDT Wed Jun 14 2017

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Thursday Afternoon)
Issued at 331 PM CDT Wed Jun 14 2017

The synoptic pattern this afternoon features an upper level trough
moving across portions of the northern Plains, with its trough axis
extending southeast into portions of MN/IA and northern MO. This
trough will swing through this evening into tonight, bringing
continued chances for showers/storms to the region.

A rather complex scenario unfolding for late this afternoon into the
overnight hours, with confidence below average in the forecast
details. One cluster of convection that affected the St. Louis metro
area earlier has pushed east into central IL, while another cluster
that affected northeast MO and western IL has also pushed into north-
central IL. These clusters have left outflow boundaries along which
renewed convection should continue to develop through this evening.
It appears the most focused areas of this activity will shift into
portions of central and east-central MO as we head through the
evening hours. Plenty of instability with MLCAPEs of 2500-3500+ J/kg
within a very moist atmosphere will lead to a continued threat of
wet microbursts within individual cells and cell clusters through
this evening despite fairly marginal deep-layer shear values (20-30
knots of 0-6km bulk shear).

Tonight's forecast will largely hinge on convective evolution this
afternoon/evening. Latest thinking is that convection this evening
will likely wane/shift to the southeast after 03Z or so.  However, a
broad low-level jet of 20-30 knots will focus into the region likely
after 06Z which could lead to renewed convection along any remnant
outflow boundaries. Where exactly this activity will focus and how
strong it will be is hard to pinpoint at this time, but think areas
along/south of I-70 will see the best potential at this renewed
development.

Activity will shift mainly south of the region on Thursday, as
surface ridging briefly takes hold.  Temperatures will still be
warm, however, with highs expected in the upper 80s to low 90s.

KD

.LONG TERM...  (Thursday Night through Next Wednesday)
Issued at 331 PM CDT Wed Jun 14 2017

The synoptic pattern at the start of the long term period will
feature westerly flow aloft.  This regime will continue through the
weekend, before northwesterly flow takes hold, shunting this
warm/unstable airmass to the southeast for the first part of next
week.

Active pattern will persist through this upcoming weekend as several
shortwave troughs move through the westerly flow aloft.  The first
will come Thursday night into Friday.  This system will bring
renewed shower/storm chances to the region, some of which could be
strong to severe depending on exact timing.  An additional wave will
move through Friday night into Saturday, with yet a third (and the
most significant wave) moving through Saturday night into Sunday.
Each of the waves will carry with them the threat of strong to
severe thunderstorms.

A cold front associated with the wave on Sunday will usher in a
cooler and drier airmass for Sunday afternoon into the first part of
next week. This cooler/drier regime will continue through midweek,
before additional showers/storms are possible by Tuesday along with
increasing temperatures/humidities.

.AVIATION...  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Thursday Evening)
Issued at 649 PM CDT Wed Jun 14 2017

Convective trends will be the main focus of this TAF period.
Convection over northeast MO is expected to turn more to the ESE
over the next couple of hours, likely getting into the St. Louis
metro sites this evening. COU will be on the edge of the initial
activity, but additional convection may affect them overnight.
Gusty winds and locally reduced IFR vsbys will accompany any
thunderstorms. The thunderstorm activity will diminish by Thursday
morning, with VFR conditions returning.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:
Thunderstorms over northeast MO will continue to build southeast
this evening, moving into STL likely near/after 02Z. These storms
will bring brief IFR vsbys along with strong/gusty winds. Storms
should shift south of the terminal Thursday morning, with VFR
conditions returning.
