Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
646 PM CDT Thu Nov 2 2017

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Thu Nov 2 2017

Cold front as of 1900 UTC is just northwest of a KMYJ>>KPPQ line and
should continue to slowly progress southeastward through tonight.
Expecting scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop along the
front toward dusk. This puts points roughly along/southeast of the I-
44 corridor in Missouri and I-70 corridor in Illinois with the
better chance of seeing this activity. SPC mesoanalysis also shows
~35-40 knots of 0-6 km shear and 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE so a few
strong to severe thunderstorms appear possible across southeast
Missouri and southwest Illinois. By 0600 UTC, the front should have
cleared the CWA with drier and cooler air filtering into the region.
Lows tonight should range from the upper 30s to mid 50s from
northwest to southeast.

Very seasonable early November day thanks to strong surface high
pressure across the Upper Midwest. High temperatures should reach
the upper 50s to low 60s across much of the area under a partly to
mostly cloudy sky.

.LONG TERM...  (Friday Night through Next Thursday)
Issued at 300 PM CDT Thu Nov 2 2017

The surface warm front will lift north Friday night and Saturday
morning with a period of drizzle and some patchy fog preceding it.
By Saturday afternoon the front will have lifted northeast of the
CWA, with the precipitation threat ending and the wind shifting to
the southwest. Temperatures will warm nicely into the 60s and 70s.

A near record warm Sunday is on tap for the area. Temperatures aloft
are forecast to rise above 15 degrees Celcius and deep mixing within
the lower atmosphere will producing a gusty southwest wind and
surface temperatures well into the 70s. Some favored locations could
top out in the lower 80s, which would approach record highs.

The cold front will approach the region by Sunday afternoon/evening
and this is when the greatest risk of severe thunderstorms will
exist. SPC continues to highlight the eastern half of the CWA and
this seems reasonable given the expected CAPE and shear. Sure, there
are some limiting factors for widespread convection developing
initially, including a strong capping inversion, but the majority of
the model guidance breaks through that convective inhibition,
releases the potential energy and develops QPF by evening from St.
Louis northeast into south central Illinois. Given the very steep
mid level lapse rates forecast, believe we could see some very large
hail, in additon to damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes. Will
continue to monitor trends in guidance and highlight this risk in
our suite of messaging/products.

Fall weather returns next week with seasonal temperatures and
several chances for measurable rain as upper level weather pattern
goes zonal with the main surface front remaining to our south.
