Area Forecast Discussion...Updated
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
852 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2022

.UPDATE...
Issued at 835 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2022

Convection has formed across central and northeast Missouri this
evening as warm air advection has lifted across the front stalled
from Kansas City, MO to Hannibal, MO to Bloomington, IL. While
plentiful moisture (dewpoints in the 70s), robust instability
(MUCAPE 5000-6000 J/kg) and favorable lapse rates (7 C/km) are
available across the forecast area, weak effective bulk shear
around 25-30 kts is limiting thunderstorm development.
Thunderstorms that have formed so far have had nearly vertical
updrafts, and died without reaching severe strength. For a
thunderstorm to be able to maintain itself across this area of
weaker shear it would have to develop a robust cold pool.

Despite this convection, the favorable thunderstorm environment
will continue overnight. The convection that will eventually roll
through the forecast area overnight has formed across southeastern
Nebraska. These thunderstorms are expected to organize, form a
cold pool, and ride the southeasterly effective bulk shear into
the forecast area. Hail and damaging winds continue to be the main
concern with any storms that become strong to severe tonight and
through the overnight hours.

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Friday Night)
Issued at 212 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2022

We remain stuck in the hot and humid air mass today, with
dewpoints a few degrees warmer than yesterday owing to some better
moisture circling back into the area. A cold front, our source of
relief from this heat, is just north of the forecast area where it
has stalled. This evening a renewed surge of moisture into the
front is expected to trigger thunderstorms along and behind the
front, mainly to our west in Nebraska and northwest Missouri late
this evening. This activity is expected to organize into a
convective complex that will then track southeast through mainly
the northern half of our area overnight, possibly into the St
Louis metro area around daybreak. With the muggy air mass
providing plenty of fuel, the storms will be capable of producing
large hail and damaging winds, especially earlier in the night.
Locally heavy rain is also possible in areas where storms persist.
As the night goes on and instability reaches its diurnal
minimum, we'll likely see the convective complex weakening into
remnant showers near or shortly after reaching the St Louis metro
and I-70 corridor.

The front does make some progress southward tonight aided in part
by the convection. For Friday we expect only the south and
southwest parts of the area to remain in the hot and humid air
mass. These areas will likely see yet another day of heat index
values of 100 or greater, and the Heat Advisory has been extended
here. The front will continue to make progress southward in
response to a trough moving through the Great Lakes. Any renewed
thunderstorm activity along the front Friday evening should remain
south of our area.

Kimble

.LONG TERM...  (Saturday through Next Thursday)
Issued at 212 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2022

Initially we will be in the transition zone between the trough in
the east and a ridge building over the Plains. The cooler air
pouring through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast will only
have peripheral effects here where we will see at least one day
where the temperature doesn't quite reach 90 degrees. It will also
be bringing in some drier air which will last a bit longer even as
the heat returns next week.

The heat begins building again in our area Monday when
temperatures soar back up to around 100 degrees. Humidity won't be
as bad as this past week, but will still be enough to add a few
degrees to the heat index. The better moisture will be to
transported to our west and north keeping us from seeing a full
repeat of this week's extreme heat index values. However, with the
heat expected to last through midweek it is likely that we will
see several days of heat index values above 100 degrees and
possibly 105 degrees. Thus it's likely we will see another round
of Heat Advisories next week.

A trough crossing the upper Midwest and Great Lakes will flatten
out the ridge and send a cold front south toward our area around
midweek. This will bring our next chance of thunderstorms and
maybe a break from the heat as well depending on how far south it
can make it.

.AVIATION...  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Friday Evening)
Issued at 551 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2022

VFR flight conditions will prevail for the first half of the
evening ahead of an approaching showers and thunderstorm. Showers
and thunderstorms are expected to form across portions of eastern
Nebraska and southwestern Iowa this evening, and move southeast
into the broader forecast area overnight. By early tomorrow
morning these showers and thunderstorms are expected to move into
the terminals. MVFR flight conditions are possible underneath
individual showers and thunderstorms. However, given the
uncertainty with the location of any particular thunderstorm
relative to the terminals, have left the forecast with SHRA VCTS
for now.

Showers and thunderstorms will exit the terminals during the
morning, and VFR flight conditions will return to the region.

Winds will shift from southwesterly to northerly as a slow moving
cold front oozes southward overnight, with speeds less than 10
kts.

SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:
VFR flight conditions will prevail ahead of showers and
thunderstorms expected to move into the terminals during the
overnight/early morning period. Showers and thunderstorms moving
over the terminal will be able to briefly diminish flight
conditions to MVFR status. Showers and thunderstorms will exit the
terminal by the morning hours, and VFR flight conditions will
prevail throughout the remainder of the TAF period. Winds will
shift from the southwest to the north overnight as the cold front
slides slowly southward.
