.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 259 PM CDT Thu Jun 14 2018

...A Few Strong Storms This Afternoon/Evening...

The synoptic pattern early this afternoon features an upper-level
ridge extending from the southern Plains into the Midwest region.
This regime will change little through the period, leaving eastern
MO/IL on the periphery of the ridge and keeping parts of the area
susceptible to convection.

We continue to monitor a complex of thunderstorms dropping south
from northeast MO and west-central IL into portions of east-
central MO and western IL. This area of thunderstorms has showed a
weakening trend over the past half hour, as the trend has been for
the thunderstorms to become more outflow dominated. However, the
airmass along/south of the I-70 corridor remains strongly unstable
with MLCAPEs of 2500-3000 J/kg. Bulk shear values are very weak,
generally less than 20 knots, thus do not expect significant
organization to the storms. That being said, the strongly
unstable airmass will likely be enough to continue to foster
strong to locally severe thunderstorms capable of locally damaging
winds to 60 mph and hail to the size of quarters, especially on a
line from Montgomery County, MO southward to Reynolds County, MO
where it appears outflow from the convection up north is
intersecting the synoptic warm front, giving storms more of a
forced vertical ascent.

Otherwise, storms should diminish this evening as the boundary
layer cools and nocturnal stabilization takes place. It appears
however that renewed convection will develop as a low-level jet
yet again develops across portions of eastern IA and northern IL.
This convection may impact portions of Illinios or even far
eastern MO Friday morning depending on how far east the synoptic
warm front is able to push. For now, do not have high confidence
in how this potential covective cluster will play out, thus will
continue with fairly low pops Friday. Temperatures will be warm,
with heat index values ranging from 100 to 105 degrees, with the
highest values in the St. Louis metro. Going Heat Advisory looks
good.

.LONG TERM...  (Friday Night through Next Thursday)
Issued at 259 PM CDT Thu Jun 14 2018

The synoptic pattern will feature strong ridging aloft this
weekend, briging hot and mainyl dry conditions. The ridge will
break down by the beginning of next week which will allow for more
unsettled weather to return.

Main brunt of the heat will be felt Saturday into Sunday and
perhaps into Monday as the upper-level ridge builds and southerly
surface flow commences. Heat index values will push to around
100-107 those days, with the highest values in the St. Louis
metro. Therefore, going Heat Advisory still looks good. Chances
for showers and thunderstorms will return early next week as a
cold front sags into the region. Due to the thunderstorms
expected, temperatures will be slightly cooler.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Friday Afternoon)
Issued at 1239 PM CDT Thu Jun 14 2018

Main TAF concern will be a convective complex moving into UIN and
additional thunderstorm development possible elsewhere this
afternoon. Complex should move into UIN just after 19Z, with the
outflow winds just ahead of the storms possibly exceeding 30
knots. Elsewhere, additional thunderstorm development is possible
near COU, but scattered coverage precludes anything more than VCTS
for now. Uncertainty is higher in the St. Louis metro sites. It
is possible the outflow of the storms near UIN may develop
additional storms this afternoon near the St. Louis sites, but
confidence in this occurring is not high enough to include a
mention at this time. Outside of thunderstorms, expect increasing
diurnal cumulus and high cloudiness.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:
Keeping an eye on the convective complex near UIN. The outflow
from these thunderstorms could potentially develop additional
thunderstorms near STL later this afternoon. However, confidence
in this scenario is still fairly low, so will continue with a dry
TAF for now. Otherwise, expect VFR conditions with diurnal cu this
afternoon and some passing high clouds this afternoon through
tonight. Winds through the period will be out of SSE around 5-10
knots.

A dangerous combination of heat and humidity is expected to begin
Friday afternoon for portions of the area and continue through at
least Sunday, and possibly into Monday. Peak heat index values
will range from 100 to 106 each afternoon and early evening. The
highest values will occur in the Saint Louis metro area, where a
Heat Advisory has been issued from Friday afternoon through early
Sunday evening. See the Heat Advisory product for additional
details.
