AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
641 PM CDT SAT APR 22 2006

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST ISSUE CONTINUES TO BE TRW CHANCES AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY
REMAINS STALLED OVER CWA. FRONT TO FLUXUATE N AND S OVER NEXT TWO TO
THREE DAYS BEFORE FINALLY EXITING REGION.

TONIGHT...MAIN QUESTION IS WILL THERE BE ANY RW/TRW ACTIVITY ALONG
BOUNDARY. MOISTURE REMAINS RATHER SPARSE. MODELS CONTINUE TO
INDICATE MCS DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT...BUT NOT ON THE SCALE THAT WE WILL
SEE SUNDAY NIGHT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND WAA ARE ON THE INCREASE
ALONG THE FRONT TONIGHT...WITH JET PARALLEL TO BOUNDARY...INDICATING
SOME BACKBUILDING WITH IT. FOR NOW WILL KEEP LOW CHANCE POPS FOR
SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA...ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-70.

ON SUNDAY...SHOULD SEE SOME LINGERING RWS/TRWS OVER SOUTHERN HALF OF
CWA AS NOCTURNAL ACTIVITY DIMINISHES.

BY SUNDAY NIGHT...SFC LOW OVER SWRN KS WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE EAST
SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG BOUNDARY IN RESPONSE TO SHORTWAVE THAT UNDERCUTS
UPPER RIDGE. INITIAL MCS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE CLOSE TO TRIPLE
POINT...OVER NE KS/NWRN MO...THEN SLIDE EAST ON MONDAY.

FRONT TO SINK SOUTH OF CWA BY MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...WILL STILL SEE
SOME POST FRONTAL PCPN...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

BEYOND TUESDAY...STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BRINGING IN
COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. TEMPS TO
BE A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 00Z TAFS...
QUASI-STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDS ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
TO NEAR KSTL SOUTHWEST TO NEAR KAIZ CONTINUING TO NEAR KJLN.
SHORT RANGE MODEL FORECASTS SHOW THIS FRONT SINKING VERY SLOWLY
SOUTH OVERNIGHT...PAST THE SOUTHERN TIP OF ILLINOIS...BUT
REMAINING OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI BY 12Z. WARM ADVECTION OVER THE
TOP OF THIS FRONT COULD KEEP THE ONGOING SCATTERED CONVECTION
ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA ACTIVE THROUGH THE EVENING
AND EVEN PAST 06Z. LOOKS LIKE THE CONVECTION WILL TRY TO DIMINISH
AFTER SUNRISE BEFORE POSSIBLY FLARING UP AGAIN LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON.

THAT BEING SAID...LSX TERMINALS ARE ALL VFR WITH WINDS BECOMING
LIGHT AND VARIABLE AFTER SUNSET. DONT EXPECT ANY SIGNIFICANT
WEATHER OUTSIDE OF THE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
SOUTHERN/SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE
CHANCE THAT A CELL OR TWO COULD DRIFT NEAR THE KCOU OR KJEF
TERMINALS TONIGHT...BUT DIDNT THINK THE CHANCE WAS HIGH ENOUGH
FOR TEMPOS AT KCOU.
