Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
1240 AM CDT Fri Mar 27 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 934 PM CDT Thu Mar 26 2020

Very little has changed to overall thinking for the remainder of
tonight. Present indications are that thunderstorms will develop
across east-central KS into west-central MO between 04-06z as
convergence associated with the southwesterly LLJ allows parcels
within the slope frontal zone to reach the LFC. The thunderstorms
will then track quickly eastward at near 50 mph along/north of
the I-70 corridor through the overnight hours. MUCAPE of 500-1000
j/kg and steep mid level lapse rates along with strong deep layer
shear would continue to favor elevated supercells with a large
hail threat, potentially greater than 2 inches in diameter.

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Friday Night)
Issued at 423 PM CDT Thu Mar 26 2020

Earlier shower and thunderstorm activity has moved east of the
area and not much has been able to develop over the area this
afternoon as a shortwave ridge has built into the region. Much of
the area has managed to clear out this afternoon except over
northeast Missouri and west central Illinois which is north of
quasi-stationary front. The RAP/NAM show this front sinking
southward through this evening.  Thunderstorms are expected to
develop over eastern Kansas/western Missouri later this evening as
low level moisture convergence increases ahead of a weak
shortwave trough that will move across the area tonight.
Thunderstorms will likely congeal into a MCS after midnight that
will move east across Missouri with forecast 700-500mb lapse rates
>7C/km. This will bring the threat for very large hail,
particularly over central MO well as damaging winds. This MCS
will gradually weaken as it moves east into Illinois late tonight
into early Friday.

GFS/NAM have the front lingering over the southern part of the CWA
early on Friday before it begins to move back north as a warm
front late in the day. Upper ridge will move across the area early
in the day which suppress chances somewhat, but then chances will
increase late in the afternoon and evening as upper flow begin to
turn out of the southwest in advance of an upper low coming out of
the western CONUS. If thunderstorms are able to develop along the
warm front, then MLCAPES will be in excess of 2000 J/kg and deep
layer shear will be in excess of 60kts, so supercells will be
possible over the area.

Have kept with above normal temperatures tonight into Friday
night.

.LONG TERM...  (Saturday through Next Thursday)
Issued at 423 PM CDT Thu Mar 26 2020

Thunderstorms will continue Saturday into Saturday night as the
warm front will move north of the area and a cold front will sweep
across the area late Saturday. Once again, there will be
sufficient instability/shear across the area for organized severe
storms along the cold front over eastern Missouri into Illinois.
All hazards will be possible including large hail, damaging winds,
and a few tornadoes. In addition, outside of the thunderstorms,
the strong surface low that is moving across the Upper Midwest
will cause a tight pressure gradient over Missouri and Illinois
this weekend which will likely cause wind gusts on Saturday and
Sunday of 30-40 mph.

This system will move off to the east, and then another system
will move into the region early next week bringing showers to the
area on Tuesday.

.AVIATION...  (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Friday Night)
Issued at 1224 AM CDT Fri Mar 27 2020

Showers and thunderstorms will track east along the Interstate 70
corridor from Kansas City to Columbia to St. Louis through the
overnight hours impacting KCOU and KSTL/KSUS/KCPS. The
strongest/severe storms will have a threat of large hail and gusty
winds. KUIN may remain just north of the thunderstorm activity and
see only showers.

The lionshare of the storms should pass to the east of all the
terminals between 12-15z with showers lingering in their wake and
ending by 17z. Otherwise stratus has spread southward across the
area in the wake of the earlier cold frontal passage bringing IFR
flight conditions. I think IFR to MVFR flight conditions will
persist through much of Friday, with improvement to VFR at KCOU
and the St. Louis terminals around 23-01z.
