AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO ISSUED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 252 PM CST SAT NOV 5 2005 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST EMPHASIS HAS BEEN ON THE FIRST PERIOD...SECONDARILY ON THE FROPA NEXT WEEK. CURRENT OBS SHOW THAT THE SFC FRONT IS STRUNG OUT FROM JUST SOUTH OF KMKC OVER TO KIRK AND THEN INTO NORTHWEST IL. THIS LEAVES US IN THE WARM SECTOR AWAITING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. THE TIMING ON THIS CONVECTION IS ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS. SAW SOME STORMS FIRE EARLIER TODAY IN THE EXTREME NORTHEAST CORNER OF OUR AREA. THAT WAS ELEVATED ACTIVITY DUE TO A LEAD IMPULSE BEFORE THE MAIN UPPER SHORTWAVE. THIS MOVED NORTH...AND HAS REMAINED NORTH OF THE AREA CLOSER TO THE WARM FRONT. THERE HAS BEEN SOME CLEARING IN SOUTHWEST MO WITH CU DEVELOPMENT ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF CWA. COLD FRONT IS STILL NOT MOVING AND MAIN SHORTWAVE WELL TO OUR WEST...WITH A BIG CAP OFF 18Z SGF SOUNDING. AM EXPECTING CONVECTION TO HOLD OFF A BIT BEFORE FIRING...MAY BE AN EARLY THROUGH LATE EVENING SHOW. SHOULD SEE LI/S AROUND -3 WITH NEARLY 1500 J/KG OF CAPE...WITH THE BULK SHEAR MORE IMPRESSIVE. SO WILL SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE UNTIL WE CAN GET THE COLD FRONT THROUGH. ONCE IT MOVES...IT GOES FAIRLY QUICKLY AND WE HAVE A DRY FORECAST FOR SUNDAY. AS THE LOW MOVES OFF WE SEE RETURN FLOW RIGHT AWAY...WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES ROCKETING INTO THE 70S MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE UPPER LEVELS MAINTAIN ZONAL FLOW UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL LOW TRIES TO EJECT FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK IT COMES OUT IN PIECES. STILL EXPECTING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE ON WEDNESDAY. HAVE KEPT LOW CHANCE POPS DUE TO WEAK MOISTURE RETURN...AND TIMING OF THE WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVES. THE 06Z GFS SHOWED ANOTHER BOUNDARY MOVING THROUGH ON THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH THE 12Z DID NOT WITH JUST A SURFACE HIGH COASTING THROUGH. LEANING TOWARDS THE 12Z FOR NOW. ALTHOUGH THE 12Z GFS ALSO TRIES TO CUT OFF THE SOUTHWEST UPPER LOW ON ITS JOURNEY NORTHEAST AND ENDS UP WITH A STRETCHED OUT VORT ACROSS THE PLAINS. HAVE NOT INCLUDED POPS FOR THURSDAY QUITE YET...WILL NEED TO MONITOR WHAT HAPPENS ALOFT. TEMPS AFTER FROPA WILL BE CLOSER TO OR JUST ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. IL...NONE. &&
