Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 12:15 AM CDT, 43 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
1215 AM CDT Tue Aug 13 2019

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tuesday Night)
Issued at 248 PM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019

Not a lot of changes from the update earlier this afternoon. A
leading MCV continues to move east out of the region. A surface
low over SW IA is expected to move east this afternoon and evening
with a cold front pushing south through the area through tonight.

This system will be a focus for thunderstorm development, mainly
this evening. As mentioned before, have increased PoPs for NE
portions of the CWA as model guidance trends suggest these areas
have a better chance for seeing thunderstorms than previous
cycles. However, this is still a somewhat conditional threat,
which is why PoPs have not been raised higher. Models still
suggest a 700mb temp of 12C or higher for most of the warm sector.
This is usually warm enough mid level temps to prevent any storm
development. However, the boundary layer is somewhat unusually
warm for both temps and dewpoints. This results in MLCAPE of 4000+
J/kg and a much weaker CAP than is generally thought. Any storms
that develop may become severe with wind as the primary threat,
but large hail will also be a threat earlier on.

The front, and effective front, should be just south of the CWA
by 12z Tues. A few lingering storms will be possible across
southern portions of the CWA into the morning hours. The remainder
of Tues should be dry and cooler than today. Still, with ample
insolation expected, have trended toward the warmer guidance.

Tilly

.LONG TERM...  (Wednesday through Next Monday)
Issued at 318 PM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019

The upper ridge over the southern U.S. will continue to build west
through Tues. Over the CWA, the pattern will switch to NW flow
with cooler weather expected through Thurs. Heights begin rising
Fri and continue through the weekend. Have therefore trended temps
warmer for Fri through the weekend.

Chances for precip through the remainder of the week are somewhat
limited. While the threat is not zero, have kept PoPs on the low
side as track of individual s/w are uncertain at this time.

Tilly

.AVIATION...  (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Tuesday Night)
Issued at 1208 AM CDT Tue Aug 13 2019

Showers and thunderstorms will move southward early in the period
ahead of a cold front that will move southeast across the area
between 06-12Z. These thunderstorms will affect KCOU through 07Z,
but the remaining terminals are expected to remain dry. Otherwise
some low clouds with mainly low VFR or possibly high MVFR ceilings
will move into the terminals late tonight and on Tuesday, but then
clear out late of Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening. Winds
will turn out of the northwest behind the front.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

Mainly dry and VFR conditions are expected during the period. A
cold front will move through the terminals late tonight, and low
VFR or high MVFR ceilings will move into the terminal behind it.  Winds
will turn out of the northwest behind the front.
