AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 310 PM CDT THU MAY 27 2004 .DISCUSSION... CONTINUING ACTIVE WEATHER TODAY. THE GOING FORECAST LOOKS PRETTY GOOD...AND WONT BE MAKING TOO MANY CHANGES AT THIS TIME. RIGHT NOW...A WARM IS STRETCHING FROM AROUND COLUMBIA TO ST LOUIS TO SALEM. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY IS CLEARLY SHOWING THE DELINEATION BETWEEN AIRMASSES AS THE CU HAS FORMED SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS CAPES INCREASING TO OVER 4000 J/KG ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...LIS OF -9 TO -11...AND BULK SHEAR VECTORS OF BETWEEN 25 AND 30 M/S. LOOKS LIKE WERE SET TO ROCK AND ROLL AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. EXPECT HP SUPERCELLS AGAIN GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I70 IN THE JUICIEST AIR...AND MULTICELL CLUSTERS...WITH POSSIBLY A SUPERCELL OR TWO UP NORTH. THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN WITH ANY OF THESE STORMS ALONG WITH THE ALREADY WET GROUND HAS ALSO PROMPTED US TO ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH...EFFECTIVE FOR THE ENTIRE AREA UNTIL MIDNIGHT. THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENINGS CONVECTION SHOULD HELP TO PUSH THE FRONT BACK SOUTH OF US. THIS TIME BOTH MODELS HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP IT SOUTH OF US FOR AT LEAST ALL OF FRIDAY. THIS SHOULD GIVE US A BIT OF TIME TO DRY OUT BEFORE RETURN FLOW KICKS BACK IN ON SATURDAY. WE COULD SEE SOME WARM ADVECTION SHOWERS AND STORMS AS EARLY AS SATURDAY MORNING...BUT IT APPEARS AS THOUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON WE MAY SEE A LITTLE MORE CONVECTION IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY. THE MODELS SEEM TO HAVE SPED THE NEXT COLD FRONT UP A BIT AND ARE NOW BRINGING IT THROUGH ON SUNDAY EVENING. ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS LOOKS LIKELY WITH THE FROPA. NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE EXTENDED FOR THIS FORECAST. ACTIVE WEATHER NOW BLOWING UP OVER THE CWFA SO WILL CUT THIS DISCUSSION SHORT. && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MO...FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA .IL...FLOOD WATCH UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT FOR THE ENTIER AREA CARNEY EFFECTIVE 7 AM JUNE 8 2004...THE AWIPS PRODUCT IDENTIFIER FOR THIS PRODUCT WILL CHANGE FROM AFDSTL TO AFDLSX.
