Area forecast discussion, May 27, 6:44 PM CDT, 1 hour 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 644 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Sunday Afternoon) Issued at 313 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017 Severe weather watches will continue across central and southeast MO and southwest IL into the evening hours. Supercells were occuring across parts of southeast MO with bow echoes in central and southwest MO. These bow echoes may consolidate into a larger squall line late this afternoon. Once this squall line clears our forecast area by late evening we should just have some lingering showers and a few storms. Most of the convection should shift south of our forecast area by midnight. Will still have a chance of showers and storms on Sunday until an upper level trough centered over the northern Plains and a cold front shift east- southeast of our forecast area. Any severe weather threat should be southeast of the forecast area on Sunday. GKS .LONG TERM... (Sunday Night through Next Saturday) Issued at 313 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017 Cooler conditions can be expected Sunday night due to a clear sky and lower surface dew points. Another cold front will drop southeastward through our area Monday afternoon and evening, but little if any precipitation is expected with this front. A better chance of showers may occur on Tuesday as a northwest flow shortwave moves through our area. A surface ridge will build into the region from the northern Plains on Wednesday shunting better moisture and any precipitation threat south of our forecast area. As this surface ridge shifts east of the region Thursday return southerly flow on the backside of the ridge should lead to increasing moisture and the potential for convection Thursday night and Friday. GKS && .AVIATION... (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Sunday Evening) Issued at 550 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017 It looks like one more thunderstorm will pass through the COU area early this evening per radar trends, with thunderstorms moving southeast of the St Louis metro area early this evening. It appears that the convection will shift south of the taf sites later this evening. 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 early Sunday morning, although a brief period of IFR conditions is possible. 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. Could not rule out some post frontal showers on Sunday with an upper level disturbance moving through the area, but will leave precipitation out of the tafs for now. SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: Thunderstorms will move southeast of the STL area early this evening. It appears that the convection will shift south of the St Louis metro area later this evening. 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 early Sunday morning, although a brief period of IFR conditions is possible. 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. Could not rule out some post frontal showers on Sunday with an upper level disturbance moving through the area, but will leave precipitation out of the taf for now.
