Area forecast discussion, May 15, 2:45 PM CST, 1 hour 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 345 PM CDT Tue May 15 2018 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 344 PM CDT Tue May 15 2018 MCV drifting along the Missouri/Arkansas border is helping to spark off isolated/widely scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Expect this activity to increase in areal coverage a bit as low-mid clouds move northeast allowing for some stronger insolation and destabilization of the boundary layer. RAP meso- analysis is showing up to around 1000-1500 J/Kg MLCAPE this afternoon/evening before sunset, so a few stronger storms with gusty winds and some hail are possible. Should see convection diminish after sunset. The MCV will continue moving east tonight and a weak cold front will drift through the forecast area. Looks MOS guidance and forecast soundings are showing stratus and possibly some fog in vicinity of the front as it moves through...much like what occurred over Iowa last night. The lingering cloud cover on Wednesday will probably keep temperatures down in the upper 70s and low 80s. Most guidance is also hinting at some diurnal convection across southeast Missouri into southern Illinois. Carney .LONG TERM... (Wednesday Night through Next Tuesday) Issued at 344 PM CDT Tue May 15 2018 A broad trof of low pressure that's currently over the northeast Gulf will get pulled up into the mean mid-latitude flow over the Lower and Mid Mississippi Valley on Thursday and an upper ridge will build up north of it across the Upper Midwest. This will create a quasi-rex block over the Central U.S. which will clog up the pattern for the latter half of the week and into the weekend. Our area should be on the western side of the trof over the Mid Mississippi Valley in northwest flow aloft. There could be some diurnal convection Thursday and Friday afternoon, but nothing organized looks likely. The pattern breaks Saturday night and becomes more zonal by Saturday/Saturday night. Medium range guidance brings another shortwave and front into the Mississippi Valley Saturday night/Sunday and pushes the front south through our forecast area Sunday afternoon/evening. Should see some precipitation along and ahead of the front...primarily Saturday night into Sunday. Temperatures through the period continue above normal with highs mainly in the 80s and lows in the upper 50s to low and mid 60s. Carney && .AVIATION... (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon) Issued at 1246 PM CDT Tue May 15 2018 Variable flight conditions are expected across the area through Wednesday morning. An upper level disturbance is moving across Missouri into Illinois. A few showers are are moving across the forecast area...and the areal coverage is expected to increase this afternoon into the evening due to daytime heating. Some of the showers will probably grow into thunderstorms as well. Expect generally VFR conditions this afternoon and evening, but there are some lower clouds moving south through central Illinois and northeast Missouri. Additionally, any showers or storms that affect the area will be capable of producing MVFR/IFR flight conditions. A weak cold front is drifting through the area. A band of MVFR/IFR ceilings is likely to form north of the front tonight and affect parts of central, southeast, and east central Missouri as well as southwest Illinois early Wednesday morning. Lower ceilings will probably last until at least 16-18Z. SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: Expect VFR flight conditions to prevail at Lambert through this afternoon into tonight. Showers will continue to move near the airport through the afternoon into the evening...and there might be a thunderstorm as well...though this is less likely. MVFR ceilings are likely to form north of a weak cold front which is passing through the region at this time. There is also a possibility that the ceilings could drop to IFR before daybreak. Low flight conditions will likely prevail until late morning or early afternoon. Carney && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
