EF0 tornado, Edgewood to Eolia, Missouri, June 28, 2015

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
348 PM CDT Sun Jun 28 2015

.SHORT TERM:  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 347 PM CDT Sun Jun 28 2015

It appears that the late afternoon and early evening severe weather
threat is beginning to take shape with the recent development of
convection over ne MO between KIRK-KUIN.  Instability has made a
slow but steady increase over western MO...with of MLCAPES 2000-2500
J/Kg now over west central MO being advected northeast by low level
winds ahead of southward pressing surface low over IA.  Believe all
modes of severe weather will be in play early this evening, but
somewhat increasing concern is tornado potential as low level flow
from eastern MO into sw IL backs in advance of the surface low
producing favorable low level helicity...and SPC mesoanalysis
indicates that 0-1km SRH has now ramped up into the 150-200 range
from KUIN to just N of STL metro.  Believe that tonight's storms
will be the typical "quick hit" variety that is typical of NW flow
situations, and although they will be producing heavy rain they will
also be progressive so persistent excessive rains are not
anticipated.  It's likely that the bulk of the shower and
thunderstorm activity will be between now and midnight, but have
maintained chance PoPs over southeast sections of the CWA into the
predawn hours ahead of surface low and associated frontal boundary.

.LONG TERM:  (Monday through Next Sunday)
Issued at 347 PM CDT Sun Jun 28 2015

(Monday through Tuesday)

NW flow aloft will continue early this weekend. Much like
yesterday...some isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms are
expected to develop primarily in the afternoon/early evening hours
each day with the higher threat along and east of the Mississippi
River which will reside under cooler temps aloft. Slightly below normal
to near normal temperatures expected each day with highs in the
80s.

(Tuesday Night through Sunday)

More active weather is still anticipated for midweek beginning late
Tuesday night into early Thursday. A more vigorous shortwave trough
will transverse the lower Missouri River Valley and interact with
strong low-level warm/moist advection. Thunderstorms are likely
Wednesday and Wednesday night with the axis of highest probabilities
through central and southeastern Missouri.

Northwest flow will continue through next weekend with more showers
and thunderstorms possible each period. Another shortwave looks to
affect the bi-state area on Friday/Friday night. Still have high
chance PoPs for now as there is some temporal differences between
the GFS/EC/Canadian.

Pattern for the 4th of July weekend looks fairly similar to
Monday/Tuesday of this week with slightly below normal temperatures
for highs and diurnal instability helping develop convection each
afternoon.

.AVIATION:  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Monday Afternoon)
Issued at 105 PM CDT Sun Jun 28 2015

Expect rapid storm development in the 20-22z time frame as UVV
associated upper level shortwave over eastern IA drops south and interacts
with low level WAA of increasinginly unstable airmass over our
CWA. TAFs reflect a first estimate of timing and intensity
(primarily IFR vsbys/MVFR cigs) at each location, which will be
updated once convection shows its hand. Current indications are
that convection should also shut down rapidly during the early
evening hours, with tranquil VFR conditions.

Specifics for KSTL: Clouds aoa 5kft and scattered showers are
anticipated early this afternoon, with increasing threat of
intense thunderstorms (IFR vsbys/MVFR cigs) in the 22-00z time
frame due to features mentioned in the primary AFD discussion.
Storms should rapidly sweep southeast of the area during the early
evening hours, with VFR conditions/clear skies for the remainder
of the overnight hours.
