Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 12:02 PM CST, 2 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 102 PM CDT Sun Jun 22 2014 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late This Afternoon) Issued at 336 AM CDT Sun Jun 22 2014 Once again the main forecast issue is thunderstorm chances. The only ongoing precipitation early this morning is a shrinking area of showers in Pike Co MO. This originated from a NW-SE cluster of thunderstorms which occurred just north of Mexico in response to lift via a weak westerly LLJ along the cool side of a large scale outflow boundary. That boundary remains somewhat identifiable from far southern IL into central/NW MO. While there is no clear cut model solution, there are suggestions by the deterministic guidance which are supported by recent runs of the HRRR and the 4km NSSL WRF that this confluent zone from central through southeast MO will be the region of scattered thunderstorm development beginning near midday, with activity shifting east thru the afternoon. There may be a region of somewhat greater coverage and organization across northeast Missouri and west central IL resulting from an eastward migrating vort max which is now present in the central Plains. Highs once again look seasonable in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Glass .LONG TERM: (Tonight through Saturday) Issued at 336 AM CDT Sun Jun 22 2014 The greatest threat of thunderstorms tonight should also reside across the northern portion of the CWA where the consensus of the model QPFs have the highest coverage. This appears reasonable as a cold front will be pushing into IA and NW MO in association with a much better defined slowly progressive short wave trof and attendant vort maxes. Strengthening and veering wind fields and a stronger veering WSW LLJ should result in good eastward progression of organized convection. The cold front will move slowly across the area Monday and Monday night and should be accompanied by fairly widespread showers and thunderstorms. The models vary on how far south the front will push on Tuesday with the NAM showing the least progression only into southern IL and southern MO while the GFS and SREF push the front into AR. Eventually the front will retreat back northward and be the focus for additional showers and thunderstorms through the later half of the upcoming week. The NAM is just about 12-24h faster thru its 84h forecast ending Wednesday. Glass && .AVIATION: (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Monday Afternoon) Issued at 1249 PM CDT Sun Jun 22 2014 Scattered thunderstorms are the primary concern this afternoon. Greater coverage should be across the eastern Ozarks and northeast Missouri/west central Illinois this afternoon. Unfortunately, there's little forcing in the atmosphere today to latch on to and try to figure timing at any given TAF site. This will definitely be a reactionary afternoon of updating forecasts as thunderstorm cells pop up. VFR flight conditions will prevail outside of storms. Storms should diminish after sunset. A weak trof of low pressure will move into the area on Monday. Expect more widespread showers and thunderstorms to develop and overspread the area from late morning into Monday afternoon. Specifics for KSTL: Scattered thunderstorms are the primary concern this afternoon. Unfortunately, there's little forcing in the atmosphere today to latch on to and try to figure timing at Lambert. This will definitely be a reactionary afternoon of updating forecasts as thunderstorm cells pop up. VFR flight conditions will prevail outside of storms. Storms should diminish after sunset. A weak trof of low pressure will move into the area on Monday. Expect more widespread showers and thunderstorms to develop and overspread the area from late morning into Monday afternoon.
