Technical Discussion (The nerdy stuff we are discussing in class!)

Seasonable air is settling into the mid-Missouri region as northwesterly flow becomes better established through the end of the weekend.  However, the weather will be unsettled, as a series of impulses will continue to deepen the broad, slow moving H5 S/W as it passes by. Latest output from the GFS, NAM, and FIM all support this premise.  Temperature choices are based upon SREF plumes and KCOU MOS messages, but the latter appeared to be trending too cold.  Minor surface moisture and precipitation seem to be warranted late tonight and into Friday, but seem less so as the weekend wears on.  The FIM and GFS show significant ridging aloft on Monday and Tuesday, so the start of the work week portends better weather.
