Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 6:29 PM CDT, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 629 PM CDT Mon Apr 10 2017 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Tuesday Afternoon) Issued at 341 PM CDT Mon Apr 10 2017 The dry line currently stretches from just east of KPPQ to KVIH. Expect to see some TSRA develop along this line over the next few hours as it moves ewd. Still expect a narrow corridor where a few storms may be severe. With somewhat weaker forcing, expect coverage to be more isod to sct. However, for those that develop, expect mode to quickly evolve to linear based on unidirectional hodograph. TSRA shud move ewd out of the area by mid evening leaving the rest of the period dry. Focus then turns to temps for Tues. Generally trended twd a compromise of guidance. Some question on amount of cloud cover, especially over nrn portions of the CWA, remains. The CU field currently over NEB/IA shud remain mainly north of the CWA tomorrow. However, some of the latest guidance just filtering in wud suggest greater cloud cover further south. Tilly .LONG TERM... (Tuesday Night through Next Monday) Issued at 341 PM CDT Mon Apr 10 2017 Surface ridge to build into the region Tuesday night with drier weather through Wednesday evening. As ridge moves off to the east on Wednesday, warm southerly winds to return once again with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. By Wednesday night, active springtime pattern will return with chances of showers and storms every couple of days. Frontal boundary associated with this system will eventually stall out just south of forecast area during the day on Thursday, then lift back north as a warm front Friday/Friday night. So best chances of rain will be late Wednesday night/Thursday morning and another round on Friday as front lifts back north of forecast area. Extended models are in pretty good agreement for a brief break in the rain Friday night. Then more intense cold front to move through Saturday night through Sunday, with several rounds of showers and storms. Dry weather to return Sunday night and Monday. As for temperatures through the period, will see highs in the 70s to low 80s, before cooling back down to the mid 60s to mid 70s next Monday. Byrd && .AVIATION... (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Tuesday Evening) Issued at 628 PM CDT Mon Apr 10 2017 Cold front is currently moving across the St. Louis metro area, and isolated thunderstorms may affect KCPS early on in the TAF period. It is possible that low clouds over northwest Missouri will move east and southeast into the TAF sites tonight. However, it seems more likely that it will stay north of the area and that the terminals will stay dry and VFR through the period. SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: Dry and VFR conditions are expected through the period with west to northwest winds. Britt && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...None. IL...None. && WFO LSX
