Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
1147 AM CST Sun Dec 2 2018

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 402 AM CST Sun Dec 2 2018

Slow moving upper level low was over northwestern MO with surface
low pressure just ahead of it over southeastern IA and northwestern
IL.  The upper level and surface low will move slowly east-
northeastward today and tonight.  A shortwave rotating around the
upper level low will bring areas of light rain and drizzle to parts
of northeast and central MO and west central IL this morning.  Low
level cloudiness across northeast and central MO and west central IL
will advect southeastward into the rest of our forecast area later
today.  Will not see much of a diurnal rise in temperatures today
due to the low level cloud cover hindering solar insolation coupled
with strong and gusty west-southwest surface winds bringing colder
air into the region on the backside of the surface low.  The models
were depicting another shot of light precipitation across northeast
MO and west central IL late tonight, possibly extending south into
parts of central MO as well. This would continue to be light QPF,
but with temperatures dropping into the lower 30s late tonight there
will likely be some light snow and flurries across northeast MO and
west central IL with a dusting of accumulation possible, under one-
half inch mainly on elevated surfaces and grassy areas. Although
lows will be colder tonight they will still be slightly above normal
for early December.

GKS

.LONG TERM...  (Monday through Saturday)
Issued at 402 AM CST Sun Dec 2 2018

A broad long wave trof will dominate the Nation at the start of
the period with a split in the flow aloft over the eastern CONUS.
Any residual snow on Monday morning leftover from tonight should
have a back edge centered across northeast MO/west central IL. If
in fact its present it should light and short-lived and quickly
shunt eastward as the contributing impulse aloft moves east. Any
forcing is hard to diagnose which makes it hard to get too excited
about. Otherwise clouds, CAA, and below average temperatures will
dominate on Monday. Yet another impulse in the west-northwest
flow aloft will move from the Plains into and across the area late
Monday night into Tuesday. While there is weak forcing associated
with it, mid-upper level moisture appears non-existent. That
said, the atmosphere will be bottom heavy with moisture with
stratus expected to still be blanketing the area. Given the
magnitude of the cold air and CAA, there could be some flurries
around. It certainly will be a cold day with highs 10 to 15
degrees below normal. Dry and cold weather will prevail on Tuesday
night into Wednesday as a pattern change begins to proceed, and
surface high moves into and across the lower MS Valley.

The pattern change will evolve into a well-defined split flow. A
northern stream short wave combined with low level WAA are forecast
to produce sufficient lift to generate a swath of precipitation
Wednesday night into Thursday in advance of the migratory short wave
and associated cold front. The greatest forcing/lift is focused from
northeast MO into central IL. Thermal profiles would suggest it
should be all snow with a rain/snow mix further south. Maybe an inch
of snow is possible across the northern CWA in the 06-18z time
Thursday time frame. A large and quite formidable surface high then
settles into the Midwest in the wake of the cold front Thursday
night into Friday. This surface high and associated cold air mass
looks like it could be one of the key players for a potential winter
storm/event Friday night into Saturday. There seems to be a growing
consensus that a southern stream upper trof will move through the
Plains and into the lower-mid MS Valley during this time frame,
providing significant forcing/lift for widespread wintry
precipitation. The GFS and ECMWF have key differences in details.
The GFS (supported by the CMC GEM) depicts a stronger trof and
expansive precipitation across the entire CWA, while the ECMWF's
upper trof is not as amplified and it has stronger surface high
pressure to the north, yielding precipitation confined to the
southern 3/4ths of the CWA. This is still 6-7 days away, something
to watch and changes are almost assured.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Monday Afternoon)
Issued at 1124 AM CST Sun Dec 2 2018

Light rain at KUIN will move out of the terminal by 20Z. There
will be be a continued threat for light rain or light snow at
times across northeast Missouri and west central Illinois
including KUIN through the rest of the TAF period, so have
included VCSH. Ceilings will remain MVFR or IFR at times.
Elsewhere, MVFR ceilings will persist at KCOU and will move into
the St. Louis area terminals. Otherwise, west winds will gust up
to 30kts this afternoon before veering northwest and decreasing
tonight.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

Mainly dry conditions are expected through the period with MVFR
ceilings. Northwest winds with gusts up to 30 knots will veer
northwest and decrease late tonight.
