Area Forecast Discussion

412 PM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Saturday Afternoon)
Issued at 411 PM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018

Deep closed low aloft over the northwest Kansas is winding its way
slowly to the east.  The surface low is now over southeast Nebraska
with the trailing cold front/dryline moving into eastern Kansas.
Several clusters of thunderstorms have formed along and ahead of the
front in Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.  After some divergence
earlier in the day, the CAMs are mostly centered around the idea
that the thunderstorm clusters will solidify into line that will
move through lower and mid Mississippi Valley this evening.  RAP CAPE
forecasts this evening really fall off after 02-03Z...so not sure
how much potential for severe weather there is...and fairly
substantial surface based CINH remains in place into the evening.
Therefore, think the storms will be weakening as they move into our
CWFA after 00-01Z.  That being said, ~1000 J/Kg MUCAPE and 45+kts of
deep layer shear is plenty for a few severe storms.  Will have to
initially watch for both damaging wind and large hail, but the wind
threat should diminish as the evening progresses and the boundary
layer stabilizes.  The stratiform precip region behind the line of
convection may linger over our eastern Illinois counties and
southeast Missouri til near daybreak on Saturday morning, but much
of the CWFA should be dry.

The cold front will continue moving east on Saturday morning and
should be through central Missouri by 15-16Z.  Another round of
thunderstorms is possible along and ahead of the cold front
Saturday...and there is another severe threat over parts of central
Illinois near the tipple-point just ahead of the low where mid
level lapserates approach 9C.  Think the primary threat will be large
hail due to the steep lapserates, but 0-6km shear is approaching
50kts and the the cold/warm front interface will be near there as
well which will add additional low level vorticity.  Will have to
watch closely for possible supercell development.

.LONG TERM...  (Saturday Night through Next Friday)
Issued at 411 PM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018

An upper trough and low pressure system will move across north central
Missouri and western Illinois on Saturday night into Sunday. Some wrap
around moisture and strong cold air advection will provide for a chance
of a brief rain/snow mix over the northern two thirds of the forecast
area on late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The precipitation type
will then be all liquid shortly after sunrise on Sunday. All
precipitation will exit the forecast area by Sunday night. High
pressure will move into the Central Plains immediately behind the
exiting upper trough by late Sunday night into Monday morning.
The weather will remain dry on Monday as high pressure moves away
from the forecast area. A cold front and attendant low will
approach the forecast area on Tuesday night into Wednesday. At
this time, it appears only scattered showers will be possible in
far north central Missouri on Tuesday night into Wednesday. The
cold front is expected to clear the area by Wednesday afternoon.
High pressure will move south from the Northern Plains into the
Central Plains, then to the Ohio Valley by Friday afternoon.
Temperatures will climb from below climatological average at the
end of the weekend to at or above normal values through the middle
of next week.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Saturday Afternoon)
Issued at 1249 PM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018

Showers and a few thunderstorms will continue to move north-
northeast across northeast Missouri and west central/south central
Illinois this afternoon. The rain is very light at this time, so
expect VFR conditions to prevail across most of the area. The
exception is southeast Missouri and parts of southwest Illinois
where an MVFR cloud deck developed earlier in the day and will
likely persist this afternoon into the evening. Heavy
thunderstorms are expected to develop over the southeast Plains
later this afternoon and move northeast into Missouri and Illinois
this evening. Guidance suggest that the thunderstorms will move
from southwest Missouri into east central Missouri sometime
between23-02Z...and may bypass central Missouri
altogether...however cannot totally rule out storms in central
Missouri at this time. Storms should be exiting the forecast area
into eastern Illinois between 08-10Z. Another round of showers and
a few storms is possible on Saturday...mainly over Illinois.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

VFR flight conditions and some isolated showers are expected to
prevail at Lambert through the afternoon. A wave of heavy
thunderstorms which will bring MVFR and possibly IFR cigs/vsbys to
Lambert is expected between 02-05Z. Lingering rain showers may
continue to impact the terminal through 08-10Z. Ceilings should
lift Saturday morning, but not very confident in timing at this
time.
