Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 302 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late This Afternoon) Issued at 302 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022 The primary concern this morning is obviously the MCS which is currently moving into central Missouri, and convective trends following it through the day. The warm advection wing ahead of the MCS will likely continue to produce a few isolated severe storms with large hail likely being the primary threat. Have already seen the northern portion of the MCS weaken, and I expect this trend to continue as it moves east. The greater instability for the MCS to feed on lies along and south of the Missouri river. Forward propagating Corfidi vectors continue to indicate an east-southeast movement for the MCS as well, so I expect the severe portion of the MCS to follow the instability and the Corfidi vectors, mainly affecting our western and southwestern counties with potentially damaging winds. Radar is indicating a well developed MCV now on the northern end of the MCS...and I expect this will continue to force convection, and stratiform rain behind it across a wide swath of the area. While damaging winds are less of a threat farther north, I do expect gusty winds as the MCV passes...likely in excess of 30 mph. The MCS should sweep through the forecast area this morning, which will push the effective front through central, northeast, and likely east central Missouri as well as west central Illinois. I think this will effectively end the threat for precipitation for those areas today. Deterministic guidance does show instability recovering ahead of the synoptic cold front this afternoon...generally along and southeast of I-44 in Missouri and south of I-70 in Illinois. CAMs as well as GFS/RAP/NAM show little or no redevelopment this afternoon in our area in spite of the recovered instability...likely due to weak low level convergence ahead of the front. Regardless, I cannot ignore the instability, so will keep low chance PoPs going this afternoon until FROPA. Carney .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 302 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022 All deterministic guidance puts the synoptic cold front south of our forecast area down in the Bootheel by 00Z. Most of the models (except for the RAP and a few CAMs) have all of the precip south of our area in the vicinity of the front after 00Z, and this makes good sense given the drier air behind the front, and that all of the mid and upper level forcing associated with the short wave will be well east and southeast in the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys. Will therefore disregard the few solutions that have lingering showers in southeast Missouri and southern Illinois this evening and keep the dry forecast for tonight. High pressure builds into the Mid Mississippi Valley late tonight into Thursday, giving us a mild and dry day. However, the low level ridge will move east quickly, and the last short wave in this week's series will dip into the Plains late Thursday night bringing return flow back to the Mid Mississippi Valley. Pretty much every piece of guidance is now generating two distinct areas of heavier precipitation with a relative minimum between them late Thursday night through Friday as the short wave digs into the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys. The stronger of the two (generally speaking) develops over Kansas. Fed by the core of the low level jet late Thursday night into Friday, the MCS moves east-southeast along the low level baroclinic zone left over from today's frontal passage. The second, more northerly area of precip develops over Nebraska...or possibly splits off the northern end of the Kansas MCS...and attaches itself to the mid level short wave. It takes a more easterly course across Iowa and northern Missouri. Between the short wave energy and the convection, models develop a low level meso low which continues to produce weak to moderate low level moisture convergence across northern and central Illinois during the day Friday. This is all well and good, but the two areas of precip in the models split the difference between our forecast area and we end up in a relative minimum of QPF on Friday. The NBM has just come in with 60-80 PoPs for Friday, which isn't surprising as with any ensemble, it tends to smear PoPs over a wide area. However, the two areas of precip to our south and north may "suck all the air out of the room" for lack of a better description, leaving a good chunk of our forecast area dry, or with only minimal precip on Friday. I guess I'm not brave enough to go against likely and categorical PoPs just yet, but will keep this in mind for tonight's shift and pass along my concerns to the day shift. Briefly for the weekend and early next week...northwest flow aloft sharpens up in the wake of Friday's wave. This brings another high pressure system from the northern Plains into the Mississippi Valley. Saturday continues to look mild and dry under the influence of this ridge, but Sunday is beginning to look much warmer than previously forecast as the trough to our east is now more progressive than in previous model runs. This results in the upper level ridge to our west building farther east into our region. Rising heights and therefore warmer temperatures will then build in for Sunday into early next week with highs in the mid and upper 80s for Sunday, then climbing into the 90s for Monday and Tuesday. Carney && .AVIATION... (For the 06z TAFs through 06z Wednesday Night) Issued at 1044 PM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 Impacts from a storm complex are expected at all local terminals early Wednesday morning. Convection has formed across the Central Plains this evening and will track eastward overnight across the region. As this complex moves over local terminals, flight conditions will quickly deteriorate, with MVFR ceilings and visibility expected. Heavier rain cores will be capable of producing brief periods of IFR visibilities, though uncertainty remains in these cores placement relative to local terminals. As the complex moves east of the terminals, MVFR ceilings will persist for a few hours, and while confidence is increasing that these conditions will be relatively short lived, there still is uncertainty in how quickly ceilings will improve to VFR flight conditions during the late morning hours. Additionally, fog is possible over portions of southeastern Missouri and southwestern Illinois later in the morning, but confidence is high that this will stay south of the local terminals. In the wake of the complex, a cold front will drop southward through the area during the late morning through the afternoon, causing winds to pick up and shift to out of the northwest.
