.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Saturday Night)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2022

Showers and thunderstorms persist late this afternoon from
central IL southwestward into central MO. This activity is
occurring in association with a vort max moving into west-central
IL, with a southwesterly LLJ and associate moisture convergence
along with weak elevated instability supporting the trailing
activity in central MO. The expected trend through the remainder
of the afternoon is for this activity to exhibit an overall
weakening trend as it lifts east-northeastward. Elsewhere across
eastern MO it is possible to see spot showers and perhaps a storm.

A well-defined warm front currently stretches from south-central
Nebraska across eastern KS and across southern MO and southern
IL. The ongoing showers and storms have effectively retarded
aggressive northward movement, however the front is expected to
gradually retreat northward tonight as a low pressure system
across the central Plains moves northeastward and the trailing
cold front advances into western MO. The lifting warm front could
initiate a few storms as it moves northeast tonight, and it's also
possible we could see a few elevated storm as well to it's north
primarily across northeast MO and west central IL. However our
greatest threat of storms will be overnight, as storms originating
in the eastern Plains this evening move eastward through western
MO and into our area. Overall I think this activity will be in a
weakening state, but it may an isolated strong to severe threat
for a few hours as it moves into the western CWA, namely wind and
hail.

The activity should progress east through the early morning hours on
Saturday, exiting the CWA by 15z or so. The severe weather threat on
Saturday remains conditional, largely based on cloud breaks and
heating in the wake of the early morning storms. These mesoscale
factors will ultimately dictate the probability and coverage of
additional storms. The 12z HREF guidance suite has shifted back a
bit to the west compared to the 00Z HREF. Present thinking is
that the the combination of low level moisture advection and
modest heating should result in a corridor of MLCAPE on the order
of 1000-1500+ J/KG across far eastern MO and western IL during
the afternoon. The consensus of the CAMS and RAP would suggest
convective initiation from central IL across far east-central MO
towards St. Louis during the early afternoon, with storms
maturing as they move east into southwest and south central IL.
Storm coverage should be scattered with potential for a more continuous
line by mid-afternoon over the eastern CWA. Little has changed
with respect to thinking on storm mode and severe threats. Deep
layer shear and instability are in a favorable parameter space for
organized severe storms, and shear vector orientation to the
front/forcing suggest potential for supercells before upscale
growth may ensue further east. Large hail and damaging winds still
appear to be the primary threat. There remains a low threat of a
few tornadoes, however low level wind profiles still appear to be
a bit veered and the resulting hodographs do not support a large
tornado threat.

.LONG TERM...  (Sunday through Next Friday)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2022

Sunday still looks tranquil in the wake of the Saturday/Saturday
night system with the cold front well to the east and the upper trof
exiting to the east-northeast. Gusty westerly winds, drier
conditions and seasonable temperatures will be in order.

The latest deterministic and ensemble guidance continues to show an
active weather pattern next week with a series of migratory short
wave trofs impacting the region. There is rather good agreement on
the first of these short waves and the attendant lifting warm front
and advancing cold front impacting the region Monday into early
Tuesday. We will have to watch this system and how much the warm
sector opens up ahead of the cold front on Monday night, and the
accompanying instability and threat of robust storms.

Otherwise the models and ensembles continue to diverge with the
second more significant upper trof and accompanying frontal
system later in the week. Present thinking is that we should see
another round of showers and possibly thunderstorms in the
Thursday time frame and possibly into Friday depending on the
timing of the system.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Saturday Afternoon)
Issued at 1239 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2022

An ongoing region of showers and storms stretching from west-
central IL into west-central MO will lift northeast through the
remainder of the afternoon. KCOU and KJEF will have the greatest
impacts with thunderstorms and MVFR flight conditions, while KUIN
may just see showers. The current trajectory of the showers and
storms would suggest they will remain just north-northwest of the
St. Louis terminals. Much of the late afternoon and evening should
be largely dry and VFR flight conditions with another area of
showers and storms moving into the region overnight into early
Saturday morning. Flight conditions could be lower with this later
round of showers and storms but have chosen to be optimistic at
this time as the direct terminal impact is uncertain.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:

The current trajectory of the ongoing showers and storms across
central MO would suggest they will remain just north-northwest of
the St. Louis terminals as they move northeast this afternoon.
Thus VFR flight conditions are expected for this afternoon and
much of tonight. A round of weakening showers and storms is
expected to impact the terminal around 10-13z Saturday. Flight
conditions could briefly be lower with this later round of showers
and storms but have chosen to be optimistic at this time as the
direct terminal impact is uncertain.
