MODELS AGAIN VERY SIMILAR IN THE SHORT TERM AND ALL SHORT TERM MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A COUPLE OF PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS. FIRST PERIOD IS COMING THROUGH TONIGHT WHILE THE SECOND ONE WILL COME THROUGH TOMORROW. HOWEVER..MODELS SO STRUGGLE WITH SOME CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK...BUT FOR THE MOST PART THEY LOOK FINE.

THIS CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT AS RADAR LOOPS SHOW LOTS OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE MID MISS VLY...SOUTH OF STL. THOUGH THE EXACT SFC FEATURES FOR TOMORROW ARE UNKNOWN...BELIEVE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE LIKELY TOMORROW AS ANOTHER WAVE MOVES INTO THE AREA.
