Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation
National Weather Service Saint Louis MO
711 PM CDT WED SEP 28 2016

.SHORT TERM...  (Through Late Tonight)
Issued at 140 PM CDT Wed Sep 28 2016

Not a lot of change for the forecast tonight. The upper low
currently over the OH Valley will more or less remain in place.
The sfc cdfnt will continue to push swd with some relaxation of
the sfc pressure gradient across wrn portions of the CWA. This
will allow winds to diminish somewhat this evening with sunset,
but still expect mixing to continue across the region thru
tonight. This shud prevent fog from developing and will limit
radiational cooling. However, with continued CAA tonight, still
expect temps to drop into the 40s across much of the area.
