Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
1145 AM CDT Sat May 27 2017

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 327 AM CDT Sat May 27 2017

Primary concern for the short term is potential for severe weather
this afternoon and evening.  Atmosphere will be primed by mid  to
late afternoon with 3500-4000+ J/Kg of MLCAPE generally along and
south of I-70 according to the RAP and GFS with somewhat lower
values further north.  These very high CAPE values are paired
with with 40+kts of 0-6km shear.  Forecast soundings are showing a
deep elevated mixed layer with 7-9C/km lapse rates from 700m to
500- 450mb which is helping to produce these very high CAPE
values. These values are well into the range to produce some
significant severe weather Saturday afternoon and evening.
Hodographs show some decent directional shear in the lowest
kilometer of the atmosphere, but quickly straighten out with speed
shear dominating from 2-6km. This suggests that the initial storm
mode may be discrete cells or clusters, but it should grow
upscale into a QLCS. All convection allowing models (CAMs) are
showing this scenario now, with the only real differences between
them being timing and exact position of the QLCS. For the PoP
forecast, I stuck pretty close to the 3km NAM which as been pretty
consistent with the development, mode, and timing of the system
as it moves across our area. Expect the leading edges to be
approaching our central Missouri counties between 21-23Z, with the
system approaching the Mississippi River in east central Missouri
around between 01-02Z...and through the eastern portion of the
CWFA by around 05Z. With the severe weather parameters on the high
end of the scale, damaging wind in excess of of 80 mph, golf ball
size hail or larger, and a few tornadoes are possible. As
mentioned before...the primary threat area will be along and south
of I-70.

.LONG TERM...  (Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 327 AM CDT Sat May 27 2017

While the primary MCS will have moved well to the southeast of the
CWA by 12Z on Sunday morning, the GFS/NAM are still showing a
surface low over northern Illinois with the main cold front trailing
southwest through east central and south central Missouri. This
front will move slowly east during the morning hours and should
clear the CWA around midday.  A mid-level trough that will start the
day over the central Plains will move east through the day and will
provide at least some some ascent through mid afternoon across
southeast Missouri and south central Illinois.  Will continue to go
with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning over the
southern and eastern parts of the CWA when the instability will be
the highest ahead of the main cold front, and back down to a slight
chance in the afternoon.  Will also continue mention the potential
for a few strong to severe thunderstorms on Sunday in the marginal
risk area during the day on Sunday.

Then it still looks like a mainly dry forecast Sunday night into
Monday night as the cold front will move well south of the area and
most the Great Lakes upper low pivots to the north.  By Tuesday and
Wednesday, the front will move back north into southern Missouri and
Illinois and showers and thunderstorms will develop along it as the
GFS/ECMWF show varying timing of shortwave troughs moving along the
front.  The chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue into
late in the week as both the GFS/ECMWF continue to show the front
over Missouri and southern Illinois.

Highs most of next week will be in the mid 70s to around 80 degrees
given that 850mb temperatures will be around 10-12C.  SREF mean
temperatures reflect this thinking.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Sunday Afternoon)
Issued at 1120 AM CDT Sat May 27 2017

Convection already developing south of COU along a nearly
stationary front. It appears that this activity will likely remain
south of the taf sites early this afternoon, but additional
convection now developing over eastern KS will move eastward through
the taf sites late this afternoon and early this evening. These
storms will likely bring a brief period of heavy rainfall and
strong wind gusts to COU and the St Louis metro area. The models
continue to indicate stratus clouds and light fog late tonight
and early Sunday morning as surface winds become light with
surface dew points still high. For now will just forecast MVFR
cigs and vsbys late tonight and eearly Sunday morning. Surface
wind will become northwesterly and strengthen Sunday morning after
the passage of a cold front with any fog dissipating and cloud
ceilings slowly rising.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: Convection already developing south of COU
along a nearly stationary front. It appears that this activity
will likely remain south of the STL area early this afternoon,
but additional convection now developing over eastern KS will move
eastward through STL late this afternoon and early this evening.
These storms will likely bring a brief period of heavy rainfall
and strong wind gusts. The models continue to indicate stratus
clouds and light fog late tonight and early Sunday morning as
surface winds become light with surface dew points still high. For
now will just forecast MVFR cigs and vsbys late tonight and
eearly Sunday morning. Surface wind will become northwesterly and
strengthen Sunday after the passage of a cold front with any fog
