Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
240 PM CDT Mon May 8 2023

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tuesday Night)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Mon May 8 2023

Outflow from the overnight activity is a bit harder to pickout
now on latest surface analysis, though the cold front is making
some progress to the south. The front extends from southeastern KS
northeastward through central MO then into central Illinois. The
latest visible satellite loop showing some agitated cu over
southern Missouri, especially along the I-44 corridor, with the
back edge of CU field along the I-70 corridor near the location of
the cold front. As for instability, the latest SPC mesoanalysis
has surface based CAPE 4500+ J/kg in this area with little to no
CIN, ML lapse rates up to 8.5 C/km, and 0 to 6km bulk shear
between 40 and 50 kts. So expect storms will begin developing in
this area between 20z and 21z, then slide south through through
the evening hours before tapering off by 06z Tuesday. As for the
main severe threat with these storms, it will be very large hail
(2"+) and damaging winds.

Weak surface ridge will begin to build in late tonight. Even with
upper level ridging building in as well, the latest deterministic
and ensemble model runs are indicating that a weak upper level
shortwave will slide along periphery of the ridge, then slide
southeast through western MO due to surface ridging. So any
precipitation with this shortwave will stay well west of the
forecast area through Tuesday night.

As for temperatures, lows tonight will remain a bit above normal in
the mid 50s to low 60s. Highs on Tuesday will be in the mid 70s to
low 80s with lows between 55 to 60 degrees.

.LONG TERM...  (Wednesday through Next Monday)
Issued at 235 PM CDT Mon May 8 2023

Upper level ridge will remain over the region through mid week,
while an upper level trough will move on shore and deepen over the
western CONUS. The trough will begin to lift out towards the region
on Wednesday. The first in a series of shortwaves will eject out of
the southwestern US towards the forecast area during the day on
Wednesday. However, moisture and instability will be limited with
the best chances of any rain over the central Plains through
Wednesday night. The next best chance of rain will be Thursday
afternoon. However, the latest deterministic as well as ensembles
continue to have differences in timing, strength and location for
each round of activity through next weekend.

Temperatures will remain above normal through the rest of the
forecast period.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Tuesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Mon May 8 2023

Kept MVFR ceilings at KCOU through 19z. Otherwise, VFR flight
conditions through the forecast period. Also, with best chances of
rain south of TAF sites, kept TAFs dry. Winds will continue to
veer this afternoon through evening, eventually becoming
northerly. By Tuesday morning, winds will veer to the northeast to
east for remainder of forecast period.
