Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
334 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 332 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

A deep upper TROF existed over the western CONUS early this morning
resulting in southwest flow aloft over our region.  A surface cold
front existed across far southern MO into the lower Ohio Valley.
Temperatures were in the 50s for most locations north of the front
and in the 60s for areas near and to the south of the front.
Showers and thunderstorms have been shunted to the northern portions
of Missouri but are showing signs of losing their northward impetus.
New development of showers was occurring in portions of south-
central Missouri during the past hour. A larger MCS was over
southeast Kansas and northern Oklahoma in association with a lead
impulse ahead of the main storm still over the southern Rockies.

The area of showers and thunderstorms across the north is not
expected to move much this morning as the region of showers and
thunderstorms over south-central MO develops and pushes
northeastward.  This smaller area of storms is expected to push
through the STL metro area during mid-morning and then into central
IL by midday.

The lead impulse over the central Plains will track northeastward
into our region this afternoon and this is also expected to induce
the surface front northward as a warm front.  How far north this
front gets will be debatable but areas to the south will warm well,
pushing the lower 80s in many locations with dewpoints surging well
into the 60s.  Current indications are this front will push just
north of the STL metro area.  Areas to the north of the front will
hang on to solid cloud cover and high rain chances through the day,
limiting severely any warmup.

The lead impulse will not only track the MCS to our west pushing
into our area by midday, it will also ignite new convection on the
southeast flank of the MCS that should also be surface based.
Plenty of CAPE is expected to be available on the order of 3000-4000
J/kg and with moderate shear profiles, this will support severe
storm potential for hail and damaging winds.  It appears the greater
tornado threat has shifted more westward but the surface boundary
could represent a region for this tornado threat to be maximixed in
our area.

As has been advertised for several days now, very high precipitable
water values will exist, especially late this afternoon and into
tonight, with many areas exceeding 1.5" which is well above 90th
percentile values.  Plenty of convection is expected to be in play
by this time over our region and this continues to support the Flash
Flood Watches already issued.  Have expanded them to the remainder
of the forecast area in southwest IL with higher QPF now forecast
there.

TES

.LONG TERM...  (Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 332 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

The active wet weather pattern will continue through Thursday with
weak shortwaves moving northeastward through the region in
southwesterly upper level flow.  A weakening cold front across our
forecast area along with any outflow boundaries from overnight
convection will be the focus for new convective development in the
moist atmosphere which will become unstable Wednesday afternoon,
particularly across east central and southeast MO and southwest IL.
There will be a continued threat for severe storms, particularly
across central and southeast MO, plus the Flash Flood Watch will
continue through Wednesday night as the additional rainfall will
exacerbate any flooding and lead to continued rising river levels. A
negatively tilted shortwave will move northeastward through the
northern Plains and send another cold front southeastward into our
forecast area by late Wednesday night.  The threat for rain will
continue on Thursday as this front moves slowly southward through
our area, but it appears that the atmosphere will not become as
unstable as Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons with little if any
severe threat. A surface ridge behind the cold front moving through
the northern Plains and Great Lakes region will keep the chance of
rain likely confined to southeast MO and southwest IL by Thursday
night. A gradual cooling trend will also begin on Thursday and
Thursday night.  A southern stream shortwave moving eastward through
the southern Plains and Gulf Coast states will lead to at least
light showers Friday through Saturday, especially across southeast
MO and southwest IL.  It appears that there may be a dry period
Saturday night into Sunday, but an upper level trough moving
eastward through the northern Plains and the Great Lakes region will
send another cold front southeastward into our forecast area Sunday
afternoon and night with convection along this front.  The
operational GFS model stalls this front across southern portions of
MO and IL. Precipitation chances ramp up on Monday as a southern
stream shortwave over the southern Plains leads to good moisture
transport into this nearly stationary front.  The ECMWF model does
not have a southern stream shortwave and dissipates the surface
front, and hence has a much drier solution for Sunday night and
Monday compared to the GFS. With these significant model differences
will just include slight chance to chance pops for this time period.

.AVIATION...  (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Tuesday Night)
Issued at 1157 PM CDT Mon Apr 29 2019

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue to develop
through the night and affect primarily KCOU and KUIN. This trend
will continue into Tuesday with lesser chances at the St. Louis
area terminals. A complex of thunderstorms will move through the
area late in the afternoon into the evening bringing the chance
for hail and and gusty winds in excess of 35kts. MVFR ceilings
are starting initially at KUIN and KCOU, but are expected to
spread during the night at all of the terminals, with some IFR
ceilings.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

Low chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue through
the rest of the night into Tuesday, though best chance will remain
north of the terminal. Better chance will come late tomorrow
afternoon into tomorrow evening when a line of thunderstorms is
expected to move into the area from the west. This line will have
the potential to bring hail and gusty winds in excess of 35kts.
VFR ceilings are starting out at the terminal, but MVFR and IFR
ceilings are expected at times throughout the rest of the period
starting at 04Z.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of eastern and
central Missouri as well as west central and southwest Illinois.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Thunderstorms are expected tonight across central and northeast
Missouri and west central Illinois. Locally heavy rainfall is
possible with these storms. A flash flood watch is in effect for this
region overnight. See the watch product for specific details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

A very active period is expected Tuesday through Thursday with
numerous waves of thunderstorms expected across the region. Some of
the storms could be severe, especially on Tuesday afternoon and
evening and again on Wednesday afternoon and evening. The primary
severe weather threats on Tuesday will be damaging winds, large hail,
and isolated tornadoes, whereas the primary threat on Wednesday will
be large hail and damaging winds.

The numerous rounds of storms will also result in the potential for locally
heavy rainfall from Tuesday night through Wednesday night. A flash
flood watch is in effect for all but south central Illinois. See the
watch product for specific details.

In addition to the flash flood threat, the prolonged and potentially
heavy rainfall is forecast to impact the mainstem rivers. A number of
river forecast points on the Mississippi River above Alton are
forecast to return to moderate or major flooding.

A chance of thunderstorms will continue for parts of the area Friday
through Monday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are asked to relay reports of rainfall of 2 inches or greater
as well as any observed high water or flooding.
