Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
300 AM CDT Mon Oct 21 2019

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tuesday Afternoon)
Issued at 300 AM CDT Mon Oct 21 2019

Early this morning, a solid N-S oriented band of showers and
thunderstorms was making its way steadily east across Missouri, now
over the central third of the state.  Severe thunderstorms, some
tornadic, are ongoing across south-central MO.  Immediately behind
this area of rain was a front--one that was occluded in northwest MO
and a more traditional cold front in southwest MO.  Extending E-SE
from the front in western MO, through southeast MO and western TN,
was a warm front.  Some convection has recently begun to develop
near this warm front.  Skies were cloudy across our region with
temperatures ranging from the upper 50s in northeast MO to the mid
60s in southeast MO.  60F dewpoints have surged north into much of
south-central MO and should have no issues moving into southeast MO
and southern IL in the wake of warm FROPA.  This warm sector looks
to be the primary area of concern for where severe storms will
propagate and threaten.

The cold/occluded front is expected to push east through our region
this morning, exiting the far eastern portions of the forecast area
in southern IL by early afternoon.  The main severe weather threat
area should be in much of southeast MO, possibly edging the southern
STL metro area and extending east into southern IL.  Low level shear
and instability favor continued QLCS propagation with damaging winds
and brief tornadoes as the threats, with this likely to exit the
forecast area by 12z.

In the wake of this front, it really will not be much cooler with a
mild Pacific airmass building in instead.  Thanks to what should be
deep mixing from strong and gusty SW winds and associated mechanical
mixing from the wound up storm system to our north, temperatures
should rebound into the lower 70s for the STL metro area, southern
IL and southeast MO, and into the 60s for areas further N and W.

The strong and gusty winds should top out between 30mph and 40mph
this afternoon as the sun emerges and mixing deepens.  The highest
gusts should be for areas N and W of the STL metro area and may need
to be watched for the need for a Wind Advisory but models prefer to
cap off the low level jet strength at H925 below 40kts.

Some wind diminishment is expected tonight but not too much--with
gusts through the night between 20mph and 30mph, and winds should
ramp up again on Tuesday thanks to deep mixing being maintained with
westerly winds, but the magnitude should be somewhat less than
today, with gusts between 30mph and 35mph.

Preferred the high side of max temps on Tuesday thanks to the deep
mixing, with readings expected to peak in the upper 50s and lower
60s.

.LONG TERM...  (Tuesday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 300 AM CDT Mon Oct 21 2019

An upper longwave TROF is expected to prevail over the central and
eastern CONUS until Thursday with the models in reasonable agreement
on ending this pattern by Friday--either dislodging the upper TROF
and replacing it with a new TROF digging into the western CONUS or
by creating a split flow.

Wednesday is still expected to be dry ahead of the next cold front
approaching from the northwest.  Southwest flow will promote a warm
day as well, with temperatures returning into the upper 60s and
lower 70s for much of the area.

More active weather returns Wednesday night and Thursday with
passage of the next surface cold front.

There continues to be a large model spread on how to handle the
changing of the overall upper pattern.  The operational EC and CMC
camp continues to prefer an earlier change of pattern, causing the
next storm system for late week to become severed from the main flow
while it is still west of our region and then drift back into our
region in time for next weekend, resulting in rainy weather.  The
GFS delays the pattern change and therefore keeps the next storm
system entrained within the main flow, progressively sliding through
by late Thursday with the cold front and favoring a dry weekend.
Given this disparity is not going away, will continue to favor CLIMO
PoPs for this weekend, which are low mentionable values.

Beginning Thursday, behind the cold front, a chillier airmass will
begin to take hold and continue into Friday.  Confidence is enough
for the cold temperatures that it may result in a hard freeze in
favored valley areas.  Some temp moderation then looks on tap for
next weekend.  Temperatures could be warmer than this forecast if
the weekend is dry, or cooler if we end up getting rain for much of
it.  With an increase in confidence in PoPs, temperatures will also
be adjusted.

.AVIATION...  (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Monday Night)
Issued at 1123 PM CDT Sun Oct 20 2019

Thunderstorms now entering western Missouri will move eastward
across the area, affecting KCOU between 07-10Z and KUIN and the
St. Louis are terminals between 09-13Z. These storms will likely
reduce visibilities and ceilings to IFR as the move through. In
addition, there may be wind gusts at or above 35 knots at KCOU and
the St. Louis area terminals, most likely from the west to
southwest as the storms move through. Thereafter, ceilings will
improve to VFR early on Monday morning at the same time that winds
veer to the southwest and gusts into the 20 to 30 knot range.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

Dry and VFR conditions are expected until around 09Z. Then a line
of thunderstorms is expected to move through the terminal between
09-12Z. This line will likely reduce visibilities and ceilings to
IFR as the move through. In addition, there may be wind gusts at
or above 35 knots, most likely from the west to southwest.
Thereafter, ceilings will improve to VFR early on Monday morning
at the same time that winds veer to the southwest with gusts above
20 knots.
