Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 4:29 PM CDT, 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 429 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Monday Afternoon) Issued at 424 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 Thunderstorms continue to develop along a front and residual outflow boundaries from earlier convection across west central and south central Illinois. Scattered storms will continue to develop along these boundaries into tonight as weak upper level disturbances move southeast along the boundary in a very moist and unstable atmosphere. There will continue to be the potential for a few strong to severe thunderstorms, capable of producing large hail and damaging winds. A few storms may also produce locally heavy rainfall given PWATS around 1.5 inches. Tomorrow will be mainly dry as an upper level ridge moves over the area. Though isolated thunderstorms will develop along a front across parts of northeast Missouri and central Illinois late in the day as the atmosphere becomes unstable and less capped. Temperatures will climb back into the lower to mid 90s with dewpoints in the lower 70s which will result in heat index readings in the 100 to near 105 range. Will need to continue to evaluate for a possible heat advisory. Britt .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through Next Sunday) Issued at 424 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 A cold front will move across the area Monday night into Tuesday bringing another chance of showers and thunderstorms. A few of these storms could be strong to severe across the area. The front will not move too far to the south of the area on Tuesday night before stalling midweek. The front will then move back north into the area late in the week which will keep a chance of storms in the forecast for at least part of the region for most of the week. With 850mb temperatures staying around 20C, expect temperatures to remain above normal this week. Britt && .AVIATION... (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Monday Morning) Issued at 100 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 Mainly dry and VFR conditions are expected through the period. Some scattered thunderstorms will affect parts of northeast Missouri and west central Illinois which may affect KUIN, but there is too much uncertainty to include in the TAF at this time. SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: Dry and VFR conditions are expected through the period. && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...None. IL...None. && WFO LSX
