over central CWA along MO river valley into St Louis metro and
eastward into sw IL over Marion county, IL. Heat indices were in
the 85-95F degree range over northern and southern CWA. An area of
showers/thunderstorms was spreading ENE across northern CWA and
into west central IL with a few strong to severe thunderstorms nw
of the IL river. This convection was ahead of a frontal boundary
over northern IL, central IA, se NE, nw KS to 1005 mb surface low
pressure in southeast CO. Unstable airmass over area with CAPES of
1500-2500 j/kg and a weak wind shear environment, so storms are
pulse type microbursts. Marginal risk of severe wind gusts from
I-70 north into early evening. Increased chances of convection
over northern CWA into mid evening, then becomes more widely
scattered overnight. Just isolated convection over southern CWA
through tonight. Lows overnight of 70-75F, warmest in the St Louis
metro area.

Isolated convection Wed morning to become more widespread during

A 573 dm 500 mb low over western MT tracks into sw IA/nw MO by Thu
morning and into IL on Friday as it deeps a bit more to 570 dm.
This system has ample moisture to work with and will bring
unsettled weather pattern to area from Wed night through Friday
with fairly high chances of showers and thunderstorms. Locally
heavy rains will also be possible especially from I-70 north.
Temps continue to cool due to more cloud cover and more widespread
convection. Highs in the low to mid 80s Thu and upper 70s/lower
80s Friday.

Sat of 80-85F. Weak low pressure to track from the Ozarks into the
mid MS river valley from Sat night into Sunday and return chances
of showers and thunderstorms to eastern MO and sw IL. Chances of
convection linger se half of CWA Sunday evening, then briefly dry
overnight Sunday night into Mon morning. Highs Sunday in the low
to mid 80s. 12Z models are building an upper level ridge into the
mid MS river valley early next week, with keeping convection
chances low. Temperatures and humidity levels rising with highs
next Tue in the mid to upper 80s and dewpoints in the upper
60s/lower 70s.

.AVIATION...  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Wednesday Evening)
Issued at 627 PM CDT Tue Jun 19 2018

A broken band of showers and thunderstorms will impact the St.
Louis terminals thru around 02z with gusty winds to 35 kts and
flight conditions ranging from MVFR-IFR. After this activity moves
east and also for the remainder of the terminals, VFR flight
conditions should prevail at least into the first part of the
overnight period. There is some uncertainty on additional showers
and thunderstorms overnight and into early Wednesday morning.
Currently the chances are low. The greatest probability at this
time appears to be at KUIN and hence have added a VCTS at 10z.
Shower and thunderstorm chances should increase during the later
part of Wednesday morning and into the afternoon. Any thunderstorm
directly impacting a terminal could bring gusty winds and lower
flight conditions. Outside of the showers and thunderstorms, VFR
flight conditions are expected.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

A broken band of showers and thunderstorms will impact KSTL thru
around 02z with gusty winds to 35 kts and flight conditions ranging
from MVFR-IFR. After this activity moves east, VFR flight conditions
should prevail. There is some uncertainty on additional showers
and thunderstorms overnight and into early Wednesday morning.
Currently the chances are low and thus nothing has been mentioned
in the TAF. Shower and thunderstorm chances should increase during
the later part of Wednesday morning and especially into the
afternoon. Any thunderstorm directly impacting the terminal could
bring gusty winds and lower flight conditions. Outside of the
showers and thunderstorms, VFR flight conditions are expected.
