Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
1237 AM CDT Thu Apr 18 2019

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Thursday Night)
Issued at 436 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019

Main concern continues to be the potential for a few severe
thunderstorms late this evening into the overnight hours.

Plenty of sun has allowed temperatures to climb back into the 70s
and low 80s this afternoon.  At the same time, low level moisture
has already started to stream back into the area as seen by the
well developed cumulus field on the visible satellite and
dewpoints in the upper 50s and lower 60s. A cold front was
entering far northwest Missouri and a line thunderstorms had
already developed over southwest Iowa into northeast Kansas along
it. Expect thunderstorms to continue to develop along this front
during the evening hours as ascent increases over the area ahead
of an upper trough over the Great Plains. CAMS guidances has been
in good agreement throughout today in developing discrete cells
within a line of thunderstorms along the front across west central
and northern Missouri this evening that will move into the
northern CWA by mid-late evening. This line will then move
southeast across the CWA through the night as the cold front does.
MUCAPES will remain in the 1000-2000 J/kg range late this evening
into the overnight hours with deep layer shear of 40-60kts
favoring organized severe thunderstorms capable of producing large
hail. Forecast soundings are also showing the instability
becoming surface based along the front indicating the potential
for damaging winds and possible tornadoes given bulk 0-1km shear
values near 30kts. There will also be some possibility of
localized heavy rainfall as there will be some training as the
cells move along the front underneath upper flow. The instability
will begin to decrease toward morning which should cause the
overall threat for severe weather to diminish toward morning.

Will continue with categorical PoPs for showers and scattered
thunderstorms into tomorrow morning over the southeast half of the
CWA as the GFS/NAM both show the upper trough deepening over the
Midwest. This will keep the chance for showers going into Friday
night over parts of eastern Missouri and southwest Illinois as the
ascent will be slow to move out of the trough axis.

Temperature tonight will start to cool down behind the cold front.
There will only be a few degrees rise tomorrow for highs
underneath the upper trough with the clouds and rain. We'll drop
back below normal on Thursday night as 850mb temperatures fall to
0C.

Britt

.LONG TERM...  (Friday through Next Wednesday)
Issued at 436 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019

Easter weekend will be mainly dry except for over parts of northeast
Missouri and west central Illinois on Sunday afternoon when showers
and thunderstorms develop along a cold front.  The GEFS mean shows
this front lingering over the area into early next week which will
keep a chance of showers and thunderstorms over the area.

Temperatures will bring warm back up above normal this weekend as
850mb temperatures climb back into the 10-15C range.  Then ensemble
mean temperatures favor near normal temperatures for the first half
of next week.

Britt
&&

.AVIATION...  (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Thursday Night)
Issued at 1236 AM CDT Thu Apr 18 2019

As a cold front tracks to the southeast across the forecast area,
showers and storms will move through the TAF sites. As the
activity moves through, will see ceilings and visibilities lower
to MVFR/IFR. These storms still have the potential to be severe,
capable of producing wind gust in excess of 35kts and large hail.
The storms will move south of the TAF sites by 11Z Thursday,
though showers and MVFR ceilings will linger through most of the
day especially in the St. Louis metro area. Gusty southwest winds
will veer to the northwest to north behind the cold front.
