AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
1159 PM CDT FRI JUN 4 2010

.UPDATE...
/1150 PM CDT FRI JUN 4 2010/

AREA OF NEW STORM DEVELOPMENT APPEARS TO BE IN THE PROCESS OF
SHIFTING FROM N MO INTO SW IA AS GRADUALLY BACKING LO LVL JET
PUMPS BEST INSTABILITY INTO THIS AREA...AND STORMS THAT AFFECT N
SECTIONS OF OUR FA REST OF TONIGHT SHOULD COME FROM THOSE THAT
DRIFT OUT OF THIS GENESIS REGION.  WITH THE STORMS FURTHER W/NW
INTERCEPTING THE BEST INSTABILITY IT MAY BE THE SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT IN OUR AREA WILL BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED...BUT WITH MDTLY STG
WAA FORECAST JUST UPSTREAM HAIL WILL CERTAINLY BE POSSIBLE WITH
THE STRONGEST UPDRAFTS...ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN.

.DISCUSSION...
/350 PM CDT FRI JUN 4 2010/

PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH THIS FCST PCKG ARE AFTN/EVE TSRA...POTENTIAL
FOR A NOCTURNAL MCS IMPACTING THE AREA OVERNIGHT...AND PCPN CHCS
THROUGH THE WEEK.

TSRA EXPECTED TO DVLP THIS AFTN/EVE NEAR THE MO/IA BORDER INVOF A
QUASISTATIONARY FNT STRETCHING FM NERN KS/SERN NE THROUGH NWRN MO
INTO SERN IA AND NRN IL. MID-AFTN MLCAPE VALUES RANGED FM 1500 TO
2500 J/KG ACROSS THE CWA WITH MUCH HIGHER VALUES NOTED FARTHER NW.
SOME OF THE STORMS THAT DVLP THIS AFTN/EVE COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL
OR DAMAGING WINDS GIVEN 30-40 KTS OF 0-6 KM SHEAR WITH AMPLE
INSTABILITY.

ATTN THEN TURNS TO PCPN CHCS OVERNIGHT AS H85 LLJ RAMPS UP TO THE
WEST. LLJ IMPINGING ON THE QUASISTATIONARY FNT OVER NW MO/ERN KS
SHOULD LEAD TO DVLPMT OF A MCS. THE DIFFICULT PART IS DETERMINING
WHETHER THE MCS WILL TRACK INTO THE CWA OVERNIGHT...AND
UNFORTUNATELY THIS MAY NOT BE KNOWN UNTIL AFTER IT HAS ALREADY
DVLPD. BOTH BACKBUILDING AND FORWARD PROPAGATING CORFIDI VECTORS
POINT E/ESE IN IA BUT TURN TO THE SE/S IN MO. THIS SUGGESTS THAT
THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF THE MCS WILL DEPEND HIGHLY ON WHERE IT
INITIATES AND THE STRENGTH OF ITS COLD POOL. IF THE MCS FORMS IN
NEB OR IA IT SHOULD REMAIN N OF THE CWA ALTHOUGH ITS SRN EDGE MAY
CLIP FAR NERN MO AND EXTREME W CENTRAL IL. IF THE MCS FORMS
FARTHER SOUTH IT COULD AFFECT NRN PARTS OF THE CWA. GIVEN THE
UNCERTAINTIES INVOLVED...I MAINTAINED A GENERAL NORTH TO SOUTH POP
GRADIENT WITH THE HIGHEST CHCS IN THE FAR NRN PARTS OF THE CWA FOR
TONIGHT.

TSRA CHCS CONTINUE ON SAT WITH AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND OUTFLOW
BDRYS FM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION. VALUES OF CAPE AND SHEAR WILL BE
SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON SAT BEFORE THE BDRY
PROGRESSES S OF THE CWA AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TO THE AREA.
PATTN TRANSITIONS TO NW FLOW ALOFT BY SUN AS AN UPPER LVL RIDGE
BUILDS ACROSS THE WRN CONUS. CONDITIONS STILL LOOK FAVORABLE FOR
TSRA EARLY NEXT WEEK ON MON/MON NIGHT AND TUE/TUE NIGHT AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTS A WMFNT NEWD THROUGH THE AREA. ECMWF/GFS
CONTINUE TO DISAGREE ON HOW FAR S THE BDRY PROGRESSES.
