Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
641 AM CST Wed Feb 21 2018

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 352 AM CST Wed Feb 21 2018

A very complicated forecast thru tonight is in store with a fair
amount of uncertainty. Focus thru tonight will be precip chances
as well as sfc temps that will determine ice accums or just a cold
rain.

Have generally trended twd the cooler NAM for temps which is also
slightly more aggressive with QPF. The NAM did a fairly good job
on the ongoing rain/temp setup and this soln seems reasonable.

Have kept a Winter Adv going for srn portions of the CWA. Expect
temps to drop to the freezing mark by sunrise and shud hover near
the freezing mark thru today. This shud be especially true for
the valleys with some cold air drainage. Believe these counties
will see waves of precip thru today, tho a brief lull is possible
early this afternoon before another s/w lifts newd and the WAA
increases again. This brief lull may allow for some warming, but
if the temp does rise above freezing, it shud drop quickly once
the precip begins again.

Some uncertainty remains regarding precip coverage for tonight.
While the bulk of the precip shud be confined to the sern and wrn
portions of the CWA, given the widespread lift over the area as well
as the strong WAA, believe there is enuf of a threat for some light
FZRA between these two areas. The FZRA may start out as some sleet
with wetbulb effects and perhaps even some snow across nrn portions
of the CWA if precip can begin ahead of the warm nose, but shud
quick change to freezing rain.

Going ice accumulations may be on the high side given the
uncertainty of the sfc temps forecast. Much of the precip is
expected to fall with temps hovering around freezing. That said,
some of this may be offset by lighter precip allowing faster
accretion.

.LONG TERM...  (Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 352 AM CST Wed Feb 21 2018

Freezing rain will end from south to north on Thu due to a
combination of rising temperatures (FZRA changing to RA) and pcpn
tapering off. Most areas should be dry by afternoon, thus the
Winter Weather Advisories end at 18z Thu.

The warm front which will have lifted slightly northwards on Thu
will waver across the region on Fri before decidedly lifting
northwards on Sat in response to a developing wave on the
boundary. Temperatures should be quite warm on Sat, although there
may be a sharp temperature gradient between northeastern MO/west
central IL and southeastern MO on Saturday depending on the
northward progress of the boundary. Models are in broad agreement
that the cold front associated with the lifting wave will have
moved through the CWA by 12z Sun, but there is considerable
variation between models in how they get there.

Several disturbances will move across the area through the weekend
within an active southwest flow pattern aloft. This will bring
multiple opportunities for widespread SHRA/TSRA through Sat
night. PW values are forecast to be near the max values for Feb by
Saturday. Given the recent rainfall and saturated soils, a Flood
Watch or Flash Flood Watch will likely be needed at some point
after Thu's pcpn ends and before the next round of pcpn begins. A
brief period of upper ridging is possible early/mid next week
during which little pcpn would be expected.

.AVIATION...  (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Thursday Morning)
Issued at 610 AM CST Wed Feb 21 2018

For KCOU/KUIN...Cold front has pushed thru the region with
freezing rain well SE of the terminals. Expect VFR conditions thru
much of today, with MVFR cigs moving back into KCOU this
evening. FZRA may reach KCOU early this evening, but believe the
best chances are around Midnight and into the early morning hours.
The FZRA shud reach KUIN late tonight into Thurs morning.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL/KSUS/KCPS: Precip has ended and pushed SE of
terminals. Another wave of precip is possible from about mid
afternoon into the early evening hours. There is some uncertainty
if this precip will impact the terminals and have left as VCSH for
now. There is also some uncertainty regarding temps at that time
as well. At this point, it appears temps will be just above
freezing, but temps may drop if the precip occurs. Chances of FZRA
increase later tonight and gradually diminish toward sunrise
Thurs.
