Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
1250 PM CDT Tue May 28 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1152 AM CDT Tue May 28 2019

Working on a Severe Watch for northeast MO and into west-central
IL for this afternoon. A lot of updates coming to accompany this.
The storm is anchored on an old outflow from earlier convection,
and continues to move east into a favorable environment and would
expect a severe threat to continue across northern portions of the
CWA. Will be going with cat PoPs into the afternoon.

It should be noted, while this storm is expected to be severe,
this is not expected to be the main round, still anticipated to be
this evening and into overnight. More to follow.

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 305 AM CDT Tue May 28 2019

The primary issue continues to be convection in the next 24 hours.
Currently, showers and thunderstorms continue to percolate over
northern Missouri/southern Iowa along quasi-stationary front. This
front will continue to be the focus for convective development in
Missouri through the morning. If forecast soundings are
representative of the actual atmosphere today, there will be
little if any chance of convection across almost the entire area.
All short range models are showing a very pronounced capping
inversion across the area, even up in northern Missouri into west
central Illinois in the vicinity of the front. Normally, I'd go
with a dry forecast based on this, but convective trends have been
a bear to forecast the last couple of days, and the convection
allowing models nearly continuously produce precipitation to a
greater or lesser degree up in northeast Missouri and west central
Illinois today. Have therefore kept chance/slight chance PoPs in
those areas through today.

Models are not in particularly good agreement on the details of
tonight's convection.  However, generally it still looks like storms
will develop over the eastern Great Plains and grow upscale into
one or more lines. Exactly where that line (those lines) will go
is not certain, but the general consensus is that northern
Missouri into west central Illinois will have the highest risk for
severe weather. MUCAPE and deep-layer shear should be enough to
support rotating updrafts, and the added shear/vorticity in the
vicinity of the surface front will only add to the potential for
severe storms. Per SPC's DY1 outlook, damaging winds and tornadoes
should be the primary threat, of course, any supercells embedded
in the line will also be capable of producing large hail. To add
insult to injury, after the line goes through, heavy rain may
linger as motion vectors show the potential for very slow MBE
movement/training. Models are also showing precipitable water
values between 1.75-2 inches so storms should be very efficient
rainfall producers. Given the wet antecedent conditions in
northeast Missouri and west central Illinois, have issued a flash
flood watch from 700 PM this evening until 900 AM Wednesday. That
may be a bit long, as it looks like rain will taper off between
400 AM and 700 AM...but as I said earlier, convective trends have
been a bear to forecast lately. Further south, the southern end of
the line will likely sweep through the area with primarily a
damaging wind threat. This may be mitigated somewhat by diurnal
weakening of instability as well as the development of a nocturnal
inversion. However, there is certainly enough uncertainty in this
forecast that we shouldn't let our guard down.

.LONG TERM...  (Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 305 AM CDT Tue May 28 2019

By 12z Wed, an occluding upper low will be located over NEB while
a separate PV anomaly rounds the base of the trough over AZ/NM.
This feature will lift northeastward through the region on Wed/Wed
night, eventually merging with the remnants of the occluding low
pressure center before sliding eastward away from the region.

At the surface, the induced surface low will be located over
either eastern KS/NEB or over SW IA and NW MO by 12z. Models are
in excellent agreement that a warm front will stretch eastward
across southern IA while a cold front extends south-southwestward
through eastern KS. Models still show a slower solution for the
cold front with fropa occurring on Wed night and Thu for the LSX
CWA. The combination of a slow-moving low pressure system and
active frontal boundaries in the region will keep unsettled
weather in place through Thu morning for most of the area.

To some extent, what happens on Wed will depend on what happens on
Tue night, and this includes the threat for strong to severe
storms. Ongoing convection at 12z and/or persistent debris clouds
for most of the day would inhibit insolation and decrease
instability, leading to lower chances for strong to severe storms.
That said, favorable parameters for strong to severe storms on
Wed/Wed night include H7-H5 lapse rates of 6.5-7.5 deg C/km,
30-40kts of 0-6km shear, at least 1000 J/kg of CAPE, and far less
of a capping inversion compared to Tue. Given that the shear
vectors are largely parallel to the H85 boundary, the expectation
is for convection to quickly grow upstream into a line and then
progress across MO/IL on Wed night. Rain should taper off on Thu
for most of the area.

With the departure of the upper low, a pattern change will finally
occur and offer at least some hope of relief from the recent
active weather. The LSX CWA will be beneath NW flow aloft due to
a deep closed low moving into SE Canada. Models do show a couple
of PV anomalies moving through the flow, but at this temporal
distance it is difficult to distinguish between real features and
convective feedback in the models. By late this weekend and early
next week, large model differences appear regarding the evolution
and movement of the large closed low over the NE CONUS, which in
turn creates large differences in the upstream flow pattern.
Models which are quicker with the close low are depicting a weak ridge
axis overhead, but the slower models retain a deep NW flow
pattern. This leads to uncertainty regarding temperature and
precipitation trends for this weekend and beyond.

Temperatures will be above average on Wed with highs in the mid to
upper 80s across the region. Highs on Thu will be around 10
degrees cooler due to ongoing precipitation as well as the passage
of a cold front. Highs should be in the upper 70s to lower 80s
for Fri through Mon. Overnight lows should be around 60 degrees
across most of the area on most nights, although more variation is
expected on Wed night due to the presence of a frontal boundary.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1238 PM CDT Tue May 28 2019

Not a lot of changes for forecast outside of thunderstorm cluster
expected to reach KUIN within the hour. This storm, potentially
severe, should continue east this afternoon leaving MVFR cigs in
its wake. Ongoing thunderstorms over KS are still expected to
move into the region this evening, and continue overnight. These
storms will likely be severe when impacting KUIN, but severe
threat continues into the night. Timing remains less certain,
especially overnight. Regardless, TSRA threat should diminish late
tonight through sunrise. Winds will return to SW with gusts around
20 kts again possible.
