Fxus63 klsx 181151 afdlsx area forecast discussion... Updated aviation national weather service saint louis mo 551 am cst Sun nov 18 2018 Short term (through late tonight) issued at 309 am cst Sun nov 18 2018 band of snow has made very little progress to the south into northern portions of forecast area as of 09z. Models continue to indicate that frontogenetical forcing will weaken by 12z Sunday, so precipitation chances will taper off through the morning hours with just isolated activity expected. As for temperatures, another below normal day is expected with lingering cloud cover and north winds, so highs will only be in the mid 30s to low 40s. By this afternoon, another wave of energy will lift northeastward through southern portions of forecast area with increasing chances of light rain a few snowflakes mixed in at times on the northern fringes of the rain shield. Rain will taper off by midnight as the shortwave exits the region, then a surface ridge will build in with winds becoming light and variable. Will see partial clearing across northern portions of the forecast area, while cloudy skies will linger to the south. Therefore expect low temperatures will range from the low 20s across northeast missouri and west central illinois to the mid 30s in southeast missouri. Byrd Long term (Monday through Saturday) issued at 309 am cst Sun nov 18 2018 surface low pressure should be over tennessee by 12z Monday morning as a shortwave aloft dives into the mississippi valley. The shortwave will shuffle the surface low off to the east on Monday... Bringing an end to any lingering precipitation by 12z Monday morning. Models have come into good agreement with the shortwave amplifying the broader longwave trof over the eastern united states. This amplified pattern will drag a canadian high pressure system through the eastern plains and the midwest through the great plains into the mid and lower mississippi valley Monday night into Tuesday. This high will bring our forecast area the last shot of below normal temperatures for the week on Monday and Tuesday. Guidance temperatures with lows in the 20s and highs in the 40s both Monday and Tuesday look reasonable. A progressive, high amplitude pattern sets up for Wednesday through Friday. An upper level ridge builds over the central u.S. Wednesday as the longwave trof shifts off the east coast. Southerly flow on the western side of the surface ridge combined with the upper ridge should bring warmer temperatures back to the mid mississippi valley on Wednesday and Thursday. Latest ensemble guidance is showing highs rising into the 50s on Wednesday and

Thursday, and lows coming up from the low 30s Wednesday night to the mid and upper 30s on Thursday night. The next chance for precipitation for the area will come on Friday as a progressive shortwave moves from the great plains into the mississippi valley. Medium range guidance isn't in great agreement on how to handle this wave. GFS and ECMWF are in decent sync until 12z Friday morning when the ECMWF closes off the trof aloft over the central plains which slows the eastward progress significantly. The low meanders eastward Friday and Saturday and is centered over the illinois kentucky border by 00z Sunday. This would keep warmer temperatures and mostly dry weather over missouri and illinois Friday, and then produce a wetter and cooler Saturday. In contrast, the open wave of the GFS moves from the pains to the mississippi river by 00z Saturday and then into the ohio valley by 12z Saturday. This yields a wet Friday and a dry Saturday. The last few runs of the ECMWF have kept the wave open as the GFS does, and the GFS has been consistent with an open wave. Am therefore leaning toward the faster solution of the gfs at this time and going with a chance of rain Friday and dry on Saturday. Carney Aviation (for the 12z tafs through 12z Monday morning) issued at 550 am cst Sun nov 18 2018 ifr flight conditions will improve for kuin by this afternoon and for kcou by late this evening. Otherwise, st. Louis metro area will remain ifr through most of forecast period with brief periods of MVFR flight conditions late this afternoon. North winds will persist before becoming light and variable by this evening as surface ridge builds in. Specifics for kstl: ifr flight conditions as well as patchy drizzle will linger over the st. Louis metro area through 16z, then will see ceilings slowly improve to MVFR by late this afternoon with main area of rain south of metro area. With loss of daytime heating, ceilings will lower back down to ifr for remainder of forecast period. North winds will become light and variable by 06z Monday.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
