NWS St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 22, 3:12 PM CST, 3 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 412 PM CDT THU JUN 22 2006 .DISCUSSION... THE 12Z SHORT-TERM MODELS (TIL SUNDAY)...ADVERTISE AN OVERALL PATTERN CHANGE IN THE OFFING OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH OUR ZONAL PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CHANGING...AS A TROF DEVELOPS JUST E OF THE MS RVR VLY AND RDGS AMPLIFY BOTH OVR THE WRN CONUS AND JUST OFF THE E COAST OF THE CONUS. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL DROP DOWN IN THE NW MID LEVEL FLOW BUT MANY OF THEM WILL BE QUITE WEAK OR MOVING IN A DRY ATMOSPHERE THRU THE COLUMN. AT THE SURFACE...A VERY COMPLEX MAP AT THE MOMENT...WITH AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SETTLING ACROSS THE SRN PORTION OF IL AND MO...FROM JUST N OF KEVV TO JUST N OF KFAM TO JUST N OF KSGF. SEVERAL OTHER SMALLER OUTFLOWS ARE ALSO CRISS CROSSING THE FA ATTM. OF IMPORTANCE IS AN MCV FROM AN MCS THAT AFFECTED ERN KS LAST NIGHT THAT IS MOVING INTO CNTRL MO ATTM. OLD OUTFLOW HAS IN MANY REGARDS BECOME THE EFFECTIVE FRONT...ALTHOUGH IT HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF WEAKENING THE PAST FEW HOURS. EITHER WAY...LOOK FOR OLD SYNOPTIC FNT TO FINALLY MAKE ITS WAY THRU THE FA TNGT AND SETTLE ACRS SRN MO/SRN IL BY FRIDAY MORNING. A RIDGE THEN BUILDS INTO THE AREA FOR FRIDAY NIGHT THRU SUNDAY. THE GFS...AS USUAL...IS NOT TOO RELIABLE...WITH WAY TOO MUCH CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK AFFECTING MANY FIELDS...FROM THE OVERDEVELOPED SFC LO TO THE VORTICITY BEING TOO STRONG...TO THE BULLSEYE ON THE QPF FIELDS. NMM WRF SEEMS TO BE AN ACCEPTABLE MODEL TO USE...ALTHOUGH ALSO FEEL THAT IT HANGS ON TO PCPN ASSOCIATED WITH MCV TOO LONG...WITH AREAS IN NERN/CNTRL MO DRYING OUT BY EARLY THIS EVENING. FOR TONIGHT...MCV IS MAIN FEATURE TO DRIVE PCPN THIS EVENING AND WILL USE RADAR TRENDS TO DERIVE MUCH OF THE TIMING. AS THIS MCV HAS INTERACTED WITH THE MOST UNSTABLE AND GENERALLY UNWORKED OVER AIR TO THE S AND E OF KSTL...TSRA HAS LIT UP. WILL GO WITH CATEGORICAL POPS ALL AREAS SAVE THE N AND W FOR THIS PERIOD. NAM ALSO SHOWS RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF H250 JET GETTING IN ON THE ACT LATER TONIGHT AND PROBABLY WILL SUSTAIN SOME LIGHT PCPN AND SCT TSRA TO SOME DEGREE WELL INTO THE NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY MORNING... WHERE THESE AREAS WILL ALSO BE CLOSEST TO THE CDFNT. MOS MIN TEMPS WERE ACCEPTABLE. FOR FRIDAY...THE GOOD MOISTURE (PWATS AOA 1.5) GETS SHUNTED TO THE SERN SECTIONS OF THE FA AND WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY STAYING ACROSS THE FAR SRN SECTIONS OF MO/IL...HAVE MY DOUBTS ON HOW MUCH PCPN WE WILL SEE THIS PERIOD FOR THE STL METRO AREA AND AREAS N AND W. DID TRIM POPS BACK SOME...BUT CHANGES WERE GENERALLY MINIMAL FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. GOING FOR PCPN CHANCES WILL BE BACKBUILDING H250 JET WHICH WILL MAINTAIN RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION DIV OVER THE SERN FA. THIS HISTORICALLY HAS YIELDED PCPN POST- FRONTAL PCPN...SO ANOTHER REASON CHANGES WERE MINIMAL. THIS FEATURE EXPECTED TO EXIT BY MIDDAY FRIDAY AND PCPN CHANCES SHARPLY DECREASE THEREAFTER. MOS MAX TEMPS ACCEPTED. FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...RELATIVELY DRY AIR SETTLES OVER THE FA FOR THE WEEKEND AND SHOULD MINIMALIZE ANY IMPACT FROM VORT MAXES THAT ATTEMPT TO AFFECT THE AREA....ESPECIALLY WITH SFC RDG IN PLACE THAT WILL LIMIT ANY LO LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN. HAVE PLACED SOME SLIGHT CHANCES IN THE NW CORNER OF THE FA IN NERN MO BY SUNDAY AS A NEW DIGGING SHORTWAVE APPROACHES AND WILL GAIN THE SUPPORT OF SOME MOISTURE BEGINNING TO RETURN TO THE AREA. PERSISTENCE TEMP FORECAST SEEMED BEST FOR THESE PERIODS AS LITTLE CHANGE IN H850 TEMPS EXPECTED. FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD (SUNDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY)...PATTERN OF TROF OVER THE MS VLY AND RDGS OVR THE WRN CONUS AND OFF THE E COAST OF THE CONUS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE DURATION OF THE PERIOD. SURFACE PATTERN MUCH MORE UNCERTAIN...BUT SOME MODELS PERSIST THE SFC RIDGE THRU MUCH OF THE PERIOD TIL MID WEEK. ALL MODELS THEN RETURN MOISTURE BY THIS TIME. WENT WITH SMALL CHANCES FOR PCPN ON SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY WITH DIGGING TROF INTO AREA AND FROM WEDNESDAY ON AS MOISTURE RETURNS IN MORE FORCE. PERSISTENCE TEMPS TO CONTINUE AND SAW LITTLE NEED TO CHANGE MUCH. TES && .AVIATION... FOR THE 18Z TAFS...HAVE REVISED THE TAFS FOR TIMING ON TSRA...WITH KCOU/KUIN EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND KSTL/KSUS A LITTLE LATER. HAVE ADDED VRB GUSTY WINDS TO THE TEMPO GROUPS WITH THE TSRA GROUPS THIS AFTN. KEPT SHRA GOING WITH VCTS FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER THE INTIAL ROUND OF STORMS INTO THE EVENING HOURS...LASTING THE LONGEST AT KSTL/KSUS. BRITT && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE.
