AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
657 PM CDT SUN APR 23 2006

.DISCUSSION...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS STALLED OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF MO THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH SOME OVERRUNNING RWS AND TRWS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP
AND SLIDE SE ALONG FRONT.

MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN THE SHORT TERM IS THIS BOUNDARY AND SEVERAL
ROUNDS OF PCPN THAT WILL DEVELOP AND SLIDE ALONG IT THROUGH TUESDAY.
FOR TONIGHT...BOTH NAM AND GFS INDICATE MCS DEVELOPMENT OVER EASTERN
KS...WHICH SLIDES SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE BOUNDARY. GFS SEEMS TO
HAVE THE BEST PLACEMENT ON THE PCPN AND BOUNDARY...SO WILL FOLLOW
CLOSER TO ITS SOLUTION. MAIN BULK OF PCPN TO MOVE INTO CWA BETWEEN
06Z AND 18Z...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA.

THEN SFC LOW ASSOCIATED WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEGINS TO SINK
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO CENTRAL OK ON MONDAY...THIS WILL PULL THE
BOUNDARY BACK TO THE NORTH...GIVING MOST OF CWA A BRIEF
BREAK...BEFORE MAIN COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. SHOULD
SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF HVY PCPN MONDAY NIGHT...THEN QUICKLY COME TO AN
END BY MIDDAY ON TUESDAY.

BEYOND THAT...SHOULD SEE STRONG SFC RIDGE BUILD BACK INTO THE
REGION...BRINGING IN COOLER...DRIER WEATHER FOR TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN IS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM...SO FOR NOW JUST HAVE
SILENT 20 POPS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD.

BYRD

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 00Z TAFS...
WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEAR KCGI TO KTBN WESTWARD TO ABOUT 40 MILES
NORTH OF KJLN. LIKE LAST NIGHT...WARM ADVECTION OVER THE TOP OF
THIS FRONT WILL BE THE CATALYST FOR CONVECTION ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA TONIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH POTENTIALLY LOW MVFR OR EVEN IFR VSBYS IN HEAVY
RAIN AND OR HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
MISSOURI RIVER AND SOUTH OF THE I-70 CORRIDOR IN ILLINOIS.
SCATTERED NATURE OF THESE STORMS HAS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO
PREDICT THE TIMING IN THE TERMINAL FORECASTS. A MCS IS EXPECTED TO
FORM OVER EASTERN KANSAS/WESTERN MISSOURI LATER THIS EVENING AND
THEN ROLL EAST/SOUTHEAST ALONG THE WARM FRONT OVERNIGHT. AGAIN...IT APPEARS
THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
MISSOURI RIVER OVERNIGHT. THE WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE MOVING
NORTH ON MONDAY WHICH WILL ALLOW SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON.
