.DISCUSSION...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING AS ATMOSPHERE
REMAINS UNSTABLE AND UNCAPPED ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. OTHERWISE
ATTENTION TURNS TO THE NORTHWEST WHERE MCS IS DEVELOPING ACROSS
NEBRASKA AND IOWA THIS AFTERNOON. A SOUTHEAST MOVEMENT IS EXPECTED
WITH THIS CONVECTIVE SYSTEM...BRINGING IT ACROSS NORTHWESTERN HALF
OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT.

DECAYING MCS...RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES...AND A CONTINUED UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE WARRANTS CHANCE POPS FOR CONVECTION ON FRIDAY BEFORE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS REGION. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE HELD DOWN A
FEW DEGREES TOMORROW GIVEN CONVECTIVE DEBRIS AND RAINFALL.

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY THRU THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK AS A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS MISSOURI
AND ILLINOIS. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 70S
WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDICES BETWEEN 100 AND 110 DEGREES DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS EACH DAY. HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA LOOKS
TO BE MET FOR THREE OR MORE CONSECUTIVE DAYS IN THE ST. LOUIS
METROPOLITAN AREA AND THEREFORE PLAN ON ISSUING AN EXCESSIVE HEAT
WATCH FOR SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. BELIEVE OTHER AREAS OF CWA
WILL SEE HEAT ADVISORIES AS WELL...BUT THE METRO AREA WILL SEE THE
GREATEST LIKELIHOOD OF HAVING EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING ISSUED FOR
IT. LITTLE CHANCE OF RAIN THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED AS ATMOSPHERE
REMAINS CAPPED UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...THE AIR MASS HAS BECOME VERY UNSTABLE WITH MUCAPES
AOA 3000 J/KG ACRS ERN MO AND EXTREME WRN IL WHERE WKLY CONVERGENT
SFC FLOW EXISTS. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF CU WITHIN THIS ZONE AND
THE LASTEST LAPS DATA INDICATES LITTLE IF ANY CAP REMAINS. OTHER
THAN AN ISOLD TSRA OVR JEFFERSON COUNTY...30 NM SOUTH OF
KSTL...THE AREA IS CURRENTLY VOID OF DEEP CONVECTION. ANTICIPATING
THAT WE WILL SEE ADDITIONAL SCT TSRA DEVELOPMENT AS THE AFTERNOON
PROGRESSES WITHIN THE INSTABILITY/CONVERGENCE AXIS. HOWEVER
CONFIDENCE OF ANY OF THIS DIRECTLY IMPACTING THE TERMINALS IS LOW
AND THEREFORE HAVE FCST VICINITY ATTM AND WL AMEND IF A DIRECT
IMPACT APPEARS MORE LIKELY. SCT TSRA WHICH DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON
SHUD LAST INTO THE EARLY EVENING THEN DSIPT. A MORE ORGANIZED AREA
OF TSRA IS EXPECTED OVR THE NCNTRL PLAINS/UPR MS VLY REGION THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO GROW INTO A
LARGE MCS AND EVENTUALLY TRACK SEWD INTO MO AND WCNTRL IL LATE
TNGT THEN DSIPT AS IT MOVES THRU ERN MO/SW IL EARLY ON FRI MRNG.
