Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
223 PM CDT Sat Jul 1 2023

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Sunday Night)
Issued at 222 PM CDT Sat Jul 1 2023

Last nights thunderstorms that went over northern and central
Missouri and central Illinois produced an outflow boundary that at
16Z was located across southeast Missouri and the far southern
portions of Illinois. The outflow boundary has since dissipated,
allowing 75+ dew points to surge north along the Mississippi River,
keeping hot and humid conditions today along and south of the I-70
corridor.

Clouds this morning covered much of the CWA and limited late morning
destabilization. However, clearing has allowed for the atmosphere to
quickly destabilize. Along the clearing boundary, there is a surface-
based CAPE gradient with values in excess of 3000 J/kg, 40kts of 0-
6km bulk shear, and CIN quickly diminishing. An 18:30Z ACARS
sounding at STL are showing surface based CAPE values nearing 3000
J/kg.

To the west of us, ahead of a shortwave trough there is an area of
increased vorticity advection along with an area of surface
convergence that is traversing eastward. As this moves eastward, the
area of surface convergence will interact with the instability and
strong 0-6km bulk shear and will be more than enough to support
strong and severe thunderstorms this afternoon into the evening. The
main threats will be strong and damaging winds and large hail,
however a few brief tornados cannot be ruled out. The location of
the strong to severe thunderstorms will be along and south of the I-
70 corridor, including the St. Louis Metropolitan area where a
CAPE gradient is located. Because of this increased chance for
severe thunderstorms, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect
until 9PM this evening.

Overnight tonight, the shortwave trough and an upper low will make
its way into the Mid-Mississippi River Valley. This will help
finally push a surface low pressure system and its associated cold
front through the area by the overnight hours. With sufficient lift
from the cold front and increased upward vertical motion, there is
another chance of showers and thunderstorms overnight into tomorrow
morning. Instability overnight will be greatest in the southern
portions of the CWA with guidance indicating over 1500 J/kg. With
this instability and decent mid-level lapse rates, thunderstorms
will have the potential to become strong to severe.

Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to be out of the area by
Sunday afternoon, leaving dry and cooler temperatures to close out
the holiday weekend.

MMG/Carney

.LONG TERM...  (Monday through Next Saturday)
Issued at 222 PM CDT Sat Jul 1 2023

Briefly, in the medium range...Monday continues to look like it will
have the least chance for precip out of the next 7 days. Short wave
ridging builds over the Midwest ahead of another upstream short wave
trough, and this should suppress convection across our forecast
area.  The aforementioned trough drifts east across the Mid
Mississippi Valley on Tuesday, and though there isn't any obvious
surface boundary/trigger, there will probably be enough lift to
produce widely scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Currently,
CAPE/shear values are such that any storms that form will likely not
be particularly strong/organized, but they could certainly rain on a
few Independence Day Parades.  Deterministic guidance is now showing
a stronger/more robust short wave trough moving through the Midwest
Wednesday/Thursday which forces a stronger and better defined cold
front through our area during that time frame.  However LREF cluster
analysis still shows variance in timing and amplitude of the trough,
and while the Wednesday/Thursday period still looks most likely for
rain/thunderstorms confidence remains somewhat low on exactly when
the rain will occur, and how strong storms will be/how much rain
will fall.  PoPs fall off to chance/slight chance behind the front
on Friday/Saturday.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Sunday Afternoon)
Issued at 1247 PM CDT Sat Jul 1 2023

Thunderstorms remain the primary aviation concern at least through
tonight. Scattered storms have already developed over southern
Missouri and these storms will move northeast through the
afternoon into east central Missouri and southwest Illinois. Wind
gusts in excess of 50kts and 1 inch diameter or greater hail will
be possible with these storms. Another area of scattered storms
is expected to develop over western Missouri during the evening
and move into central Missouri between 02-04Z. These storms are
expected to move east through the late evening into the overnight
hours across east central Missouri and southwest Illinois. Hail
will be the primary threat from this second area of storms.
Outside of the thunderstorms, an area of low MVFR ceilings is
expected to overspread much of the area late tonight into Sunday
morning as an upper level disturbance moves east across the
Mississippi Valley. Ceilings should gradually rise from late
Sunday morning into the afternoon.
