.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
Issued at 917 PM CDT Fri Jun 30 2023

Technical Discussion...

A stationary frontal boundary currently extends from Moniteau/Boone
Counties southeast through Ste. Genevieve County, MO. Thunderstorms
have initiated along and north of the front this afternoon and
continue to initiate at the time of writing. Some of these
thunderstorms have had histories of producing large hail and
damaging winds. The atmosphere is still primed for severe weather
as of 02z, with MUCAPE values of 3000 to 4000 J/kg, effective
bulk shear of 25 to 35 kts, and dewpoints in the low 70s. For this
reason, the severe thunderstorm watch remains valid until 04z
when severe parameters begin to give way to the diurnal curve. As
this occurs, the severe threat will gradually become more
isolated.

Thunderstorms are expected to redevelop later tonight as a series of
mid-level vorticity maxima interact with an intensifying low level
jet, stationary surface boundary, and abundant low-level moisture.
This round of thunderstorms is expected to be more widespread
and generally weaker than this afternoon's and evening's
convection.

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Saturday Night)
Issued at 234 PM CDT Fri Jun 30 2023

Earlier today, an MCS made its way across southern Iowa and northern
Missouri into north-central Illinois. As that MCS moved eastward,
an outflow boundary moved south and is interacting with a surface
boundary stretching across central Missouri. Along that boundary
there is a strong gradient of surface based CAPE. Convective
initiation is expected between now and 23Z and along and south of
the Missouri River as the outflow continues to interact with that
frontal boundary. Thunderstorms are expected to follow that CAPE
gradient and frontal boundary and travel southeast across central
Missouri into south-central Illinois. As of 19:20Z, current ACARS
soundings at STL are showing over surface base CAPE values nearing
4000 J/kg. With sufficient instability and 35 knots of 0-6km
shear, these storms could become strong to severe with the main
threat being strong winds and large hail. The storm threat looks
to be out of the area by the evening hours.

Hot and humid conditions will continue through the evening as dew
points from central Missouri through south-central Illinois are in
the mid to upper 70s. Temperatures are continuing to climb and are
expected to hit the upper 90s and low 100s by peak heating with heat
indexes between 105-110 degrees. The outflow boundary did keep
temperatures cooler across northern Missouri and west-central
Illinois where temperatures will struggle to reach 90 degrees. The
heat advisory continues near and south of the I-70 corridor and is
in effect through 8PM tonight.

Overnight the low level jet will ramp up and surge moisture into the
area just as a mid-level disturbance moves across the Mid-
Mississippi River Valley, providing another chance for showers and
thunderstorms through Saturday morning along and near the stalled
frontal boundary. The boundary is forecast to stall somewhere across
the northern 3rd of Missouri. With most unstable CAPE values around
2000 J/kg and strong moisture convergence, overnight rainfall looks
promising with some locations could receive an inch or more of
rain.

By Saturday afternoon, the surface low pressure system that is
associated with the stalled surface boundary will begin to move
eastward into western Missouri. The surface boundary will slowly
shift north, leaving much of the CWA in the warm sector. With the
area being in the warm sector, instability will ramp up throughout
the day. It is important to note that if the overnight showers
linger further into the morning, instability across northern
Missouri may be limited. However, in southeast Missouri and south-
central Illinois, current guidance has most unstable CAPE values
in excess of 2500 J/kg with 1-6km shear greater than 30kts. This
environment will be more than enough to support strong to severe
storms Saturday afternoon through the early evening. The greatest
threats are expected to be strong and damaging winds and large
hail. It looks as if LCL heights will remain rather high, limiting
the tornado potential.

Another round of showers and thunderstorms is forecast late Saturday
night into Sunday as the surface low pressure system finally makes
its way east and brings a cold front through the area.

MMG/Carney

.LONG TERM...  (Sunday through Next Friday)
Issued at 234 PM CDT Fri Jun 30 2023

Deterministic guidance remains in good agreement with respect to the
late weekend-early week forecast.  The short wave should be passing
overhead in the wake of the cold front on Sunday which is likely to
continue to produce enough synoptic-scale lift for more convection.
Current indications are that lower instability and shear values than
today and Saturday should really cut down on the chances for severe
weather, but MUCAPE values in excess of 1000 J/Kg still support the
inclusion of thunderstorms in the forecast.  Weak ridging builds
across the Mid Mississippi Valley on Monday, so we should stay
largely dry on Monday, though an isolated thunderstorm isn't out of
the question.  With somewhat cooler air moving in and the potential
for clouds/convection on Sunday, highs will likely stay in the
80s...and could be suppressed into the 70s in west central and south
central Illinois where there is more likely to occur.  With fewer
clouds and showers around on Monday, strong July sunshine should let
highs rebound back into the upper 80s to mid 90s.

The forecast becomes less certain for Tuesday through Friday as at
least two short wave troughs, and possibly an MCV two, move across
the Midwest.  LREF cluster analysis implies decreasing certainty in
the forecasts as the number of clusters increases from 2 or 3
solutions for Sunday/Monday, to 3-4 solutions for the rest of the
week.  Additionally, the differences in the clusters are minor for
Sunday/Monday and are primarily with the amplitude of the ridge
upstream of Sunday's short wave.  The number of clusters increases
to 3-4 for Tuesday-Friday, and the differences between clusters
becomes more pronounced.  EOF patterns suggest both timing and
amplitude differences in the weather pattern, particularly with
respect to a deepening long wave trough over the eastern U.S. toward
the end of the period.  Temperature spreads on the box and whisker
plots increase correspondingly toward the end of the week as well.
However, the pattern does favor warmer temperatures
Tuesday/Wednesday ahead of the long wave trough, trending cooler
Thursday/Friday with more clouds and precip associated with the
trough.

.AVIATION...  (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Saturday Night)
Issued at 1108 PM CDT Fri Jun 30 2023

Convection from Friday afternoon and evening is beginning to weaken,
but another round is expected to develop overnight as the low-level
jet strengthens. With the boundary sagging further to the south,
convective initiation is expected to be further south than expected
as well, impacting a larger area than just northeast Missouri and
west central Illinois. Recent model guidance shows this as well,
raising confidence in including at least vicinity
showers/thunderstorms at all terminals overnight. These
thunderstorms will likely be more widespread but weaker than
Friday's activity. A lull is expected Saturday morning between the
erosion of the low-level jet and the uptick in afternoon
instability. Thunderstorms are expected to develop again Saturday
afternoon, with strong to severe thunderstorms possible. Apart from
direct impacts from showers or thunderstorms, conditions at all
terminals are expected to remain VFR through the TAF period.
