The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS St. Louis, MO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 12:37 PM CST, 1 hour 43 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 137 PM CDT MON JUN 13 2011 .DISCUSSION... /347 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2011/ FCST FOCUS FOR THIS MORNING WILL BE POPS AND WHERE MCS WILL TRACK...IF IT DEVELOPS. MCS THAT WAS ANTICIPATED YESTERDAY HAS YET TO DEVELOP...KEEPING VERY LOW CONFIDENCE IN MDLS THIS MORNING AS ALL MDL SOLNS HAVE PRECIP ONGOING AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS SHIFT. THE BEST SO FAR IS TWO AREAS OF ACCAS. TOP SOUNDING FROM LAST EVE SHOW MID LVL CAP IN PLACE THAT MDLS APPEAR TO HAVE ERODED WAY TOO QUICKLY. BELIEVE THAT TSRA WILL DEVELOP ALONG NRN AND ERN EDGE OF THIS CAP AS LLJ CONTINUES TO VEER THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...QUESTION REMAINS EXACTLY WHERE THIS CAP IS AND TIMING OF INITIATION. ANY TSRA THAT DEVELOPS THIS MORNING SHUD MOVE SEWD ALONG THE 850H WRMFNT. IF TSRA DEVELOP THIS MORNING...THIS AFTERNOON SHUD BE LARGELY QUIET BEFORE ANOTHER MCS DEVELOPS TONIGHT OVER SRN IA AND MOVES SEWD ALONG THE FNT INTO THE CWA TONIGHT. HOWEVER...IF THIS MORNING REMAINS DRY...WUD EXPECT TSRA TO DEVELOP OVER THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS INSTABILITY INCREASES DURING THE DAY. KEPT PREV LIKELY POPS FOR TONIGHT AS MDLS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST TSRA DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT OVER ERN HALF OF THE CWA. WHILE OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN THIS CONTINUES TO DIMINISH...DO NOT HAVE ENUF CONFIDENCE TO LOWER POPS AT THIS TIME EITHER. MDLS PROG SFC LOW DEEPENING AND MOVING THRU THE CWA TUES NIGHT INTO WED AS UPR TROF APPROACHES THE AREA. CONFIDENCE REGARDING TIMING IS RATHER LOW AND HAVE THEREFORE KEPT POPS IN THE CHANCE RANGE FOR NOW. MADE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO TEMPS IN THE SHORT TERM. AVAILABLE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A WIDE RANGE OF POSSIBLE SOLNS. ADDED TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF ANY CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND ABOUT ANYTHING CAN BE POSSIBLE. TUES SHUD BE THE WARMEST DAY IN THE SHORT TERM AS SFC LOW APPROACHES THE AREA WITH MID LVL RIDGING. HAVE TRENDED TWD THE WARMER GUIDANCE FOR TUES...BUT TRENDED TWD A CONSENSUS FOR MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM. PREV FCST IS ON TRACK FOR FRI AND BEYOND GIVEN LATEST GUIDANCE AND MADE FEW IF ANY CHANGES. TILLY && .AVIATION... /122 PM CDT MON JUN 13 2011/ MAIN FCST CHALLENGE THRU THE PERIOD WILL BE TIMING AND COVERAGE OF TSTMS. ONE BATCH IS PUSHING SE THRU CENTRAL AND SE MO WHILE ANOTHER AREA OF SCATTERED TSTMS HAS DVLPD OVER NE MO...SE OF AN ONGOING COMPLEX MOVING EAST ACROSS IA. EXPECT THE TSTMS ACROSS NE MO TO CONTINUE TO SLIDE SE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENTUALLY AFFECT KSTL/KSUS AND KUIN. THERE MAY BE A LULL IN THE ACTIVITY THIS EVENING...UNLESS TSTMS CAN DEVELOP ACROSS NE KS AND NW MO. IF THAT HAPPENS...WHICH IS FAR FROM CERTAIN...THEN KCOU COULD BE AFFECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS EVENING AND THEN POSSIBLY MOVING INTO THE STL METRO AREA THIS EVENING. WHAT APPEARS MORE LIKELY IS AN AREA OF TSTMS DEVELOPING NORTH OF I70 LATE THIS EVENING AND THEN SLIDING SE INTO THE STL METRO AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS ACTIVITY COULD VERY WELL LAST THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO TUESDAY MORNING. ANOTHER BREAK IS POSSIBLE LATE TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE MORE CHANCES FOR STORMS TUESDAY AFTERNOON...ESP FOR KUIN AND THE STL METRO AREA. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL...ESP OVERNIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED EXCEPT UNDER THE MORE INTENSE STORMS. WARM FRONT TO LINGER IN THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD...SO WINDS TO REMAIN ELY OR SELY. SPECIFICS FOR KSTL... TSTMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST HOUR OR SO ACROSS NE MO AND ARE SLIDING SE AND SHOULD AFFECT KSTL LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THERE SHOULD BE A LULL THIS EVENING BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA/TSTMS MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT. ACTIVITY COULD LAST INTO TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE MOVING OUT. MORE STORMS COULD REDEVELOP LATER TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ANY OF THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE HAIL. MILLER && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. IL...NONE. && WFO LSX
