Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 634 PM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Thursday Night) Issued at 148 PM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019 Focus continues to be thunderstorm and severe threat through this evening. Surface low is currently centered over northwest MO with a front across northern MO into west central IL. Congested CU developing over NE MO and into west central IL as well as over far eastern portions of the CWA as an outflow boundary pushes south. These two areas should be a focus for development this afternoon. Once these storms develop, they will likely quickly become severe. With steep mid level lapse rates and high CAPE, hail will be a threat. Mid levels are quite dry, which will help enhance the downburst and cold pools. While hail will initially be a threat, the threat should transition to a wind threat over the next couple of hours. While a tornado threat can never be completely ruled out, with 15 to 20kts of 0-3km shear, expect a low tornado threat through the evening. Upper low currently over NM is expected to continue moving east and should lift into OK region by Thurs morning. This should help support thunderstorm development over the region with a stalled sfc front across the area. The focus should be over the southern half or so of the CWA, but likely or higher PoPs may need to be pulled further north. Given the rain southern portions of the CWA have received yesterday, and additional rain this evening, will need to consider potential for a flood headline for tomorrow and potentially into Fri. Tilly .LONG TERM... (Friday through Next Wednesday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019 Models are in fairly good agreement suggesting the upper low mentioned above becoming blocked by upper level ridging and nearly stationary over northern AR into TN/KY region through the weekend. While model solutions are in agreement with this trend, placement of the upper low differ slightly. This will largely determine placement of precip through the weekend. PoPs may eventually need to be raised and moved further north, but will need better agreement among models. Agreement is better that a fairly strong cold front will push through the region late Sun into Mon. As the surface ridge builds into the area, the region will finally see a couple of days of dry weather with seasonably cool temps. This will be somewhat short lived as models suggest a fairly deep trof reaching the area by Wed with the chance for storms continuing through the end of the forecast period with continued cool temps. Tilly && .AVIATION... (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Thursday Evening) Issued at 621 PM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019 TSRA continue to push south across the region. Extent of severe has been less than prev anticipated, but the threat continues into the early evening. Behind the TSRA, expect VFR cigs overnight with winds becoming lighter. Chances for precip return Thurs with light NE winds. Tilly && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...None. IL...None. && WFO LSX
