Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
657 PM CDT Mon Oct 9 2017

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tuesday Afternoon)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Mon Oct 9 2017

Low pressure over Oklahoma will drift east-northeast tonight and
Tuesday.  The warm front associated with this low currently extends
from near Sedalia up through northeast Missouri and into northwest
Illinois.  Models are showing decent low level baroclinicity across
the area this evening into tonight with a 15-25kt low level jet
pointing almost perpendicular to the temperature gradient.  This
lift should produce scattered showers and thunderstorms this evening
into the overnight hours.  Will likely see increasing coverage of
the precipitation as the low level jet strengthens a bit ahead of
the low...though the strongest moisture convergence will be back in
the cold sector over Kansas and far northwest Missouri.  P-Wats are
between 1.5 and 2 inches and warm cloud depth is 12,000ft plus so
this convection should be pretty efficient at producing rain.  That
being said, it looks like the showers and storms will be moving, not
training so I think the heavy rain threat will be minimal.  Models
are suggesting that there could be a break in the precip for our
area early tomorrow morning as the warm advection wing moves north
into Iowa.  Some of the CAMS do keep convection going through the
night into Tuesday morning ahead of the cold front...but think it's
most likely we'll see a weakening area of showers and a few storms
well ahead of the front left over from tonight's convection over the
eastern Plains and southwest Missouri.

The low should be just southwest of the STL Metro area by about 18Z
tomorrow.  CAMS are showing a broken line of thunderstorms developing
on the front during the early afternoon and this looks reasonable.
Forecast instability on the GFS is not particularly impressive at
only around 1000 J/Kg of MLCAPE...though 0-6km bulk shear ahead of
the front is 45-50kts which should be enough to get storms spinning.
 All things being equal, the severe threat should be minimized by
the low instability, but if we get some breaks in the clouds on
Tuesday afternoon and decent insolation, the instability could be
quite a bit higher than forecast.

.LONG TERM...  (Tuesday Night through Next Monday)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Mon Oct 9 2017

Period begins with models in fairly good agreement as a negatively
tilted trof pulls thru the area. This trof will weaken Tues night
into Wed as it moves into the Great Lakes region. Precip shud be
confined to the northern and eastern portions of the CWA by Tues
evening with the precip moving out of the CWA around or shortly
after Midnight Wed.

Cooler and drier weather is expected thru Thurs as a large sfc ridge
builds into the area. With cyclonic flow on Wed, albeit weak, expect
a fairly extensive area of stratus across at least the nrn two-
thirds of the CWA on Wed. Some uncertain as to how quickly these
clouds will clear out Wed night, or if they will at all. If they do,
going temps Wed night may be too warm across nrn and ern portions of
the CWA where clouds are currently expected to linger longer. These
clouds shud clear out Thurs at the latest as sly flow returns and
the 850mb wrmfnt lifts out of the area.

Temps are expected to warm quickly Fri and into the weekend as
heights rise with an upper ridge building into the area. A fast
moving trof will bring a chance for precip Sat into Sun. The GFS is
a fast outlier with the sfc low compared to the ECMWF/GEM. Have
trended PoPs toward the ECMWF/GEM solns, however, have also kept
some slight chance PoPs to account for the faster GFS.

.AVIATION...  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Tuesday Evening)
Issued at 621 PM CDT Mon Oct 9 2017

SPECIFICS FOR KUIN, KCOU: There are two opportunities for
precipitation during the valid TAF period. 1) SHRA/TSRA are
expected to develop after 10/03z near a warm front as it lifts
through the area. 2) Additional SHRA/TSRA are expected to develop
after 10/16z ahead of an approaching cold front. MVFR to IFR
stratus is also expected to develop and spread northward
overnight. The stronger surface wind field should tend to favor
stratus tonight, but areas of fog may also develop.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL, KSUS, KCPS: There are three opportunities for
precipitation during the valid TAF period. 1) A small cluster of
TSRA was moving northward towards the St. Louis metro area at TAF
issuance and will likely reach the vicinity of the terminals
within the first 0-2 hours of the valid TAF period. 2) SHRA/TSRA
are expected to develop after 10/03z near a warm front as it lifts
through the area. 3) Additional SHRA/TSRA are expected to develop
after 10/16z ahead of an approaching cold front. In addition to
the convection, MVFR to IFR stratus is expected to develop and
spread northward, reaching the St. Louis area terminals after
10/06z. MVFR/IFR fog is also possible, especially if the early
evening thunderstorm cluster is followed by several hours of clear
skies before the stratus develops.
