Utah children win gains in health care and other top stories of the week (March 12-17)
Privatizing Utah's prison may be among the options a new committee considers as it evaluates bids to move the current facility.
And Gov. Gary Herbert said government should always look at privatization, including in the corrections system.
"I think we should look at it. I'm probably not inclined to go with a privatized jail, but we should consider it," Herbert said in an interview as the 45-day legislative session ended Thursday.
"The private sector tends to be a little more efficient. They tend to use their own money. They're a little more creative and innovative," he said.
After much debate and eight versions of the bill, the Legislature ultimately passed SB72, which creates the 11-member Prison Relocation and Development Authority to oversee what would be a massive undertaking to tear down the 62-year-old facility and build one at a new site.
Bishop Wester joins voices calling for veto of controversial gun bill
The leader of Utah's Catholics, Salt Lake City's mayor and a mother who lost her daughter in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School have all added their voices to those asking Gov. Gary Herbert to veto a controversial gun bill.
The Utah Legislature approved HB76, which would the law to allow Utahns to carry a concealed weapon without a concealed weapons permit — meaning no classes or background checks would be required — as long as the firearm is unloaded, which by law means there is not a round in the chamber.
The Most Rev. John C. Wester, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, penned a strongly worded letter to the governor asking that he veto the bill in an effort to "promote a culture of life" in Utah.
Alissa Parker, mother of Emilie Parker, a 6-year-old girl who was killed in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., also wrote to Herbert, asking that he veto the bill.
Eighth-graders at St. Francis Xavier hold own election for new pope
As cardinals in Vatican City met behind doors Tuesday to begin the process of selecting a new pope, students at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School held their own conclave of sorts.
Eighth-graders in Veronica Brand's class are on "Pope Watch." They wrote their names on a map with pictures of front-runners to replace Pope Benedict XVI. The majority of the votes from the Kearns students went with Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana.
"He seems pretty interesting and he has a lot of votes, so I think he'll be pretty good," eighth-grader Emilio Luzero said. "I think he will make our world strong and we can trust more people."
Cardinal Ouellet was Nathaniel Martinez's choice. He felt the Canadian cardinal could bring new ideas and inspire the 1.2 billion Catholics in the world.

This narrated slide show gives a brief overview of coral biology and how coral reefs are in danger from pollution, ocean temperature change, ocean acidification, and climate change. In addition, scientists discuss how taking cores from corals yields information on past changes in ocean temperature.
This simulation is an interdisciplinary timeline that has been developed to show key events in the climatic history of the planet, alongside events in human history.
This NBC Learn video features climate scientists doing their research on Mt. Kilimanjaro to study the climate of the past. The scientists put the recently observed changes on the glacier into perspective by comparing past climate fluctuations, stressing that the current observed rate of change is unprecedented.
This short video, adapted from NOVA, explains how Earth's position relative to the Sun might be responsible for the dramatic shift in the climate of what is now the Saharan nation of Djibouti.
This NASA animation presents the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide over the last 400,000 years, last 1000 years and last 25 years at different time scales. The data come from the Lake Vostok ice cores (400,000 BC to about 4000 BC), Law Dome ice cores (1010 AD to 1975 AD) and Mauna Loa observations (1980 to 2005).
This video segment, from the 'Earth: The Operators' Manual' featuring climate expert Richard Alley, shows how ice cores stored at the National Ice Core Lab provide evidence that ancient ice contains records of Earth's past climate - specifically carbon dioxide and temperature.
This video segment describes climate data collection from Greenland ice cores that indicate Earth's climate can change abruptly over a single decade rather than over thousands of years. The narrator describes how Earth has undergone dramatic climate shifts in relatively short spans of time prior to 8000 years ago. The video and accompanying essay provide explanations of the differences between weather and climate and how the climate itself had been unstable in the past, with wide variations in temperature occurring over decadal timescales.
This video describes why tropical ice cores are important and provide different information than polar ice cores, why getting them now is important (they are disappearing), and how scientists get them. The work of glaciologist Lonnie Thompson is featured, with a focus on his work collecting cores of ice from high mountain glaciers that contain significant data about past climate change.
This video profiles glaciologist Lonnie Thompson and his research into tropical mountain glaciers as a way to understand climate history. Beginning in the 1970s, Thompson recognized that tropical ice cores contain information relating to tropical climate phenomena, including El NiÃo events and monsoons. These phenomena are not archived in ice from polar regions. Thompson explains that his archive of ice cores is full of clues that, taken together with records collected from around the world, can help scientists create a timeline that tells Earth's climate story.
This static graph of changes in CO2 concentrations is going back 400,000 years, showing the dramatic spike in recent years.

Whither America: A Foreign Policy Debate Among Realists, Nationalists, and Internationalists
Recorded: Tuesday, May 6, 2014

George Washington University, Washington D.C.
"The long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have sparked renewed debate about foreign policy within both political parties. William Kristol recently said that while Republicans generally agree on domestic policy, the real debate would be on foreign policy. Likewise, in the Democratic party, the more hawkish Clinton wing of the party continues its clash with the more dovish McGovernite wing. To focus on these differences, The George Washington University in Washington, D.C. and The Independent Institute in Oakland, California are hosting a debate among the various foreign policy traditions. Please join us for this necessary and timely debate."

Annual campaign gets underway
The annual For my girlfriend (FMG) young driver campaign will peak towards the end of this week with a string of events around the country.
24 road safety teams are participating in the 2009 FMG campaign, which targets young couples by reminding them that more young girls aged 17-19 years die as passengers than as drivers. Resources include a viral film, radio ad, Valentine card, flyer and poster.
In Windsor and Maidenhead bluetooth technology will be used to broadcast the viral film in areas populated by young people including cinemas, leisure centres, shopping centres and sixth forms. The road safety team will also use Valentine themed resources (balloons, teddies, lollies, sweets etc) to spread the safer driving message.
Peterborough's road safety team will stage a crash reconstruction at Peterborough Regional College on 13 February, in partnership with the fire service, paramedics and Cambridgeshire Constabulary. The team will also distribute memory sticks with the campaign film to students, along with Valentine cards.
The road safety team from Wokingham Borough Council will be in the market place at Wokingham with the local fire crew handing out cards and talking to people during the afternoon of 11 February and again on 12 February.
In South Gloucestershire, 12 schools and colleges will take part in the campaign this year. Five secondary schools are hosting a re-enactment in which South Gloucestershire's RSOs have teamed up with Avon Fire and Rescue and Avon and Somerset Police to show the terrible consequences of a crash.
For further information contact Jo Lazar, campaign co-ordinator, on 01379 650112 or to see the campaign film go to: www.fmg.org.uk.

Data warehousing encompasses a complete architecture and process, whereas Data warehouse is Data stored in Database in the form of Dimension, Fact Tables, Lookup Tables, Aggregated Fact tables.
Datawarehousing is not just having a single data warehouse . Data warehousing is the transformation of data to information, thereby enabling the business to examine its operations and performance. This task is accomplished by the staging and transformation of data from data sources, enabling the business to access and analyze information. The data stores may be persistent (stored on disk) or transient (using disk or memory). In addition, the workflow usually involves multiple data stores to support the staging and transformation of data into information such as operational data stores, data warehouses, data marts, online analytical processing cubes, files such as a flat file (comma-separated values extract, for example), XML data and even spreadsheets

What is a Laughter Club session like?
Robert Rivest's laughter sessions begins with mindful breathing, easy flowing movements, and a few fun vocal warm-ups. This leads to a series of playful, interactive, laugh inducing exercises (that can easily be adapted to fit your abilities, mood or energy level). Our group Laughter is joyfully simulated with full body laughter exercises, clapping, eye contact and youthful playfulness. The simulated laughter soon turns into real and contagious laughter that lifts our spirits, connects us, and carries over into our every day lives. After the exercises we do a little "free laughter" and end with a few peaceful moments of guided relaxation.
No yoga mat, or flexibility needed . . .
just wear comfortable clothing and a smile:)

Stat3 is a positive regulator of gap junctional intercellular communication in cultured, human lung carcinoma cells
1 Departments of Microbiology and Immunology and Pathology, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, K7L3N6, Canada

BMC Cancer 2012, 12:605 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-12-605Published: 18 December 2012
Neoplastic transformation of cultured cells by a number of oncogenes such as src suppresses gap junctional, intercellular communication (GJIC); however, the role of Src and its effector Signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (Stat3) upon GJIC in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been defined. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed high Src activity in NSCLC biopsy samples compared to normal tissues. Here we explored the potential effect of Src and Stat3 upon GJIC, by assessing the levels of tyr418-phosphorylated Src and tyr705-phosphorylated Stat3, respectively, in a panel of NSCLC cell lines.
Gap junctional communication was examined by electroporating the fluorescent dye Lucifer yellow into cells grown on a transparent electrode, followed by observation of the migration of the dye to the adjacent, non-electroporated cells under fluorescence illumination.
An inverse relationship between Src activity levels and GJIC was noted; in five lines with high Src activity GJIC was absent, while two lines with extensive GJIC (QU-DB and SK-LuCi6) had low Src levels, similar to a non-transformed, immortalised lung epithelial cell line. Interestingly, examination of the mechanism indicated that Stat3 inhibition in any of the NSCLC lines expressing high endogenous Src activity levels, or in cells where Src was exogenously transduced, did not restore GJIC. On the contrary, Stat3 downregulation in immortalised lung epithelial cells or in the NSCLC lines displaying extensive GJIC actually suppressed junctional permeability.
Our findings demonstrate that although Stat3 is generally growth promoting and in an activated form it can act as an oncogene, it is actually required for gap junctional communication both in nontransformed lung epithelial cells and in certain lung cancer lines that retain extensive GJIC.

This maternity session was so special. Monica has been on bed rest for most of her pregnancy and really wanted to do a session. I made it easy for her and shot all these images in her home. I'm so happy that little baby Chloe is here, and healthy!

Recent Game Medals
Tropius 5 Points Children of the southern tropics eat as snacks the fruit that grows in bunches around the neck of Tropius. This Pokémon flies by flapping the leaves on its back as if they were wings. Medal Stats.
Spoink 5 Points Spoink keeps a pearl on top of its head. The pearl functions to amplify this Pokémon's psychokinetic powers. It is therefore on a constant search for a bigger pearl. Medal Stats.
Spinda 5 Points No two Spinda are said to have identical spot patterns on their hides. This Pokémon moves in a curious manner as if it is stumbling in dizziness. Its lurching movements can cause the opponent to become confused. Medal Stats.
Shedinja 5 Points Shedinja is a peculiar Pokémon. It seems to appear unsought in a Poké Ball after a Nincada evolves. This bizarre Pokémon is entirely immobile—it doesn't even breathe. Medal Stats.
Slakoth 5 Points Slakoth's heart beats just once a minute. Whatever happens, it is content to loaf around motionless. It is rare to see this Pokémon in motion. Medal Stats.
Gorebyss 5 Points Although Gorebyss is the very picture of elegance and beauty while swimming, it is also cruel. When it spots prey, this Pokémon inserts its thin mouth into the prey's body and drains the prey of its body fluids. Medal Stats.
Shroomish 5 Points If Shroomish senses danger, it shakes its body and scatters spores from the top of its head. This Pokémon's spores are so toxic, they make trees and weeds wilt. Medal Stats.
Ludicolo 5 Points Upon hearing an upbeat and cheerful rhythm, the cells in Ludicolo's body become very energetic and active. Even in battle, this Pokémon will exhibit an amazing amount of power. Medal Stats.
Walrein 5 Points Walrein swims all over in frigid seawater while crushing icebergs with its grand, imposing tusks. Its thick layer of blubber makes enemy attacks bounce off harmlessly. Medal Stats.
Flygon 5 Points Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the "singing" is the only thing that can be heard in a sandstorm, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit. Medal Stats.
Total Medals Earned: 427 (From 46 different games.)

A flowable slurry comprising powder matrix particles and reinforcing particles is pumped, under pressure, through an atomizing nozzle to form discrete droplets containing reinforcing particles coated with the powder matrix particles The discrete droplets are suspended in an elevated temperature environment for a sufficient time to evaporate the water from the droplets and form nonreacted reinforced powder particles. The reinforced powder particles are nonagglomerated and are suitable for immediate use as powder for thermal spray coatings or for dry processed compacted structural components.
1. A method of forming solid reinforced powder particles, consisting essentially of:
forming a flowable slurry comprising powder matrix particles and reinforcing particles;
pressurizing said slurry;
discharging said pressurized slurry from an atomizing nozzle;
forming a plurality of discrete droplets containing said reinforcing particles coated with said powder matrix particles; and,
suspending said atomized discrete droplets in said heated air temperature environment for a time sufficient to evaporate substantially all free moisture from said discrete droplets, said heated air temperature environment comprising air heated to a temperature of less than about 500� C.
2. A method of forming reinforced powder particles, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said powder matrix particles and said reinforcing particles each have a predetermined nominal size, the nominal size of said powder matrix particles being substantially smaller than the nominal size of said reinforcing particles.
3. A method of forming reinforced powder particles, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said powder matrix particles and said reinforcing particles comprise ceramic materials that are substantially nonreactive with air at a temperature of less than about 500 � C.
4. A method of forming reinforced powder particles, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said slurry comprises an aqueous solution of ceramic matrix powder particles, ceramic reinforcing particles and a binder.
5. A method of forming reinforced powder particles, as set forth in claim 4, wherein said powder matrix particles are aluminum oxide powder, said reinforcing particles are silicon carbide whiskers, and said binder is polyvinyl alcohol.
6. A method of forming reinforced powder particles, as set forth in claim 1, wherein said step of suspending said atomized discrete droplets in an elevated temperature environment includes discharging said droplets into a heated chamber of a spray dryer.
This invention relates generally to a method for forming reinforced powder particles, and more particularly to a method for forming reinforced powder particles by spray drying atomized droplets containing coated reinforcement particles.
Many ceramic and metallic materials exhibit increased strength, and often toughness, when reinforced with a second phase in the form of fibers, whiskers or particulates. However, the processing required to uniformly disperse the reinforcing phase within the matrix material is often cumbersome and ineffective. For example, U.S. Pat. 5,080,977, issued Jan. 14, 1992, to Isidor Zaplatynsky describes two methods of forming composite powder materials. In the first method, ceramic and glass powders are mixed together and sintered at 1400� C. for 10 to 15 hours. The sintered material is then crushed to obtain a composite powder having a particle size suitable for plasma spray deposition. In the second method, a sol-gel paste mixture comprising ceramic particles coated with gel (the precursor of a glass phase) is heated and dried to form an intermediate agglomerate The agglomerate is then heated to 1300� C. and held at that temperature for several hours, after which the material is comminuted by crushing.
Such methods of forming coated particles are inherently time-consuming and costly and, if the respective powders are not uniformly dispersed prior to sintering, are prone to segregation defects. Furthermore, as a result of the required comminution after sintering, the size and shape of the particles is compromised For example, composite materials having fibers or other elongate reinforcement components, such as ceramic whiskers, cannot be formed by the above described methods because crushing would break the fibers.
The present invention is directed to overcoming the problems set forth above. It is desirable to have an economical method for coating the reinforcement component of composite materials with the matrix component so that segregation of the components is avoided during subsequent deposition or dry forming. It is also desirable to have such a method that is substantially nonreactive and does not damage or otherwise alter the structural shape of the reinforcement component.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a method for forming reinforced powder particles includes forming a flowable slurry comprising powder matrix particles and reinforcing particles, pressurizing the slurry, and discharging the pressurized slurry from an atomizing nozzle. Upon discharge from the atomizing nozzle, discrete droplets are formed containing the reinforcing particles coated with the powder matrix particles The droplets are suspended in an elevated temperature environment for a length of time sufficient to drive off substantially all free moisture from the droplets.
The single drawing is a photomicrograph at about 1560� showing reinforcement particles coated with powder matrix particles according to the method embodying the present invention.
The reinforced powder particles formed by the method embodying the present invention comprise matrix particles bonded to a reinforcement particle and are particularly suitable, without any further processing, as powder stock for thermally sprayed coatings or for dry processing, i.e, pressing, into monolithic structural components. Reinforced powder particle representative of the reinforced powder particles formed in accordance with the present invention are shown in the photomicrograph comprising the sole drawing figure. Significantly, the matrix material, comprising the large, light colored globular structures in the photomicrograph, surrounds and encapsulates a portion of each of the thin elongate whisker reinforcement members. Desirably, the reinforcement members extend outwardly from the matrix material, a characteristic which is beneficial to promoting an interlocking structure in subsequent compaction or deposition of the reinforced powder particles.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method includes initially forming a slurry containing powder matrix particles and reinforcement particles The matrix particle component of the slurry may comprise alumina, zirconia, or other ceramic or metallic material suitable as the matrix component of composite materials. The reinforcement particles may be selected from the group that includes silicon carbide whiskers, zirconia fibers, aluminum oxide fibers, tungsten carbide, or other ceramic or metallic materials that may provide improved physical properties to composite materials.
Significantly, the process embodying the present invention is carried out in an air environment at temperatures below which the any reaction products of the constituent components, either with air or with each other, are formed.
In an illustrative example of the present invention, ceramic/ceramic matrix (CCM) powder particles are formed having silicon carbide whisker (SiCw) particles coated with a plurality of aluminum oxide (Al2 O3) powder matrix particles. Prior to adding any liquid components, 485.1 g of aluminum oxide powder (the matrix particles) are blended with 6.2 g of magnesium oxide (MgO) powder. The aluminum oxide matrix powder preferably comprises about 100 g of very fine powder particles having a nominal particle size of less than 0.5 μm with the balance of the aluminum oxide particles having a nominal particle size of about 3 μm. The magnesium oxide powder preferably has a nominal particle size of about 5 μm. The relatively small amount of MgO is optionally included as a processing aid if it is desired to subsequently use the reinforced particles in dry processing applications e.g., if the coated particles are later pressed and sintered to form a monolithic structural member.
Water, in an amount of 420.5 g, along with 0.4 g of a 90% ammonia napthalene sulfonate solution (a dispersant), and 70.8 g of silicon carbide whiskers (SiCw) are mixed into the above described powder blend to form a flowable aqueous slurry containing the aluminum oxide powder matrix and the silicon carbide whisker reinforcing particles In the illustrative example, the silicon carbide whiskers have a length of about 70 μm to 90 μm and diameter of about 3 μm.
After the above aqueous slurry is thoroughly mixed, 60.3 g of a 5.8% solution of polyvinyl alcohol is preferably added as a bond promoter to enhance adherence of the Al2 O3 powder matrix particles to the larger SiCw reinforcing particles. After thorough mixing of the slurry, it is desirable to add a very small amount of an anti-foaming agent prior to final mixing. In the illustrative example, 3 drops of tri-n-butyl phosphate is added for this purpose.
The above described flowable aqueous slurry is then forced, under pressure, through an atomizing nozzle to form discrete droplets containing the SiCw reinforcing particles coated with the smaller Al2 O3 powder matrix particles. Preferably, the slurry is pumped, via a peristaltic pump, from the mixing container to a rotary atomizer of a spray dryer.
In carrying out the herein described example illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a commercial spray dryer having an evaporative capacity of 7.0 Kg of H2 O per hour at 350 � C. and having a side-cast rotary atomizing nozzle, was used to form and dry the discrete droplets containing the coated reinforcing particles. The spray dryer was heated to a temperature of about 300 � C., and maintained at that temperature as the slurry was pumped through the rotary atomizing nozzle at a rate of about 200 g/min. At this temperature and processing rate, the atomized discrete droplets were suspended in the heated chamber of the spray dryer for a time sufficient to evaporate substantially all of the free moisture from the discrete droplets.
It is important that the drying temperature, i.e., the temperature at which free moisture is evaporated, be maintained below the temperature at which any reaction products, such as oxides, of the respective components are formed. Desirably, with the above described ceramic materials, the evaporative step is carried out at a temperature of less than about 500 � C. to assure that there is no reaction of the ceramic components with the air atmosphere
Upon collection from the spray dryer, the coated reinforcing particles were separate, nonagglomerated, free flowing powder particles suitable for direct use in thermal spray or dry processing applications. Also, as shown in the photomicrograph, the ends of the silicon carbide whisker reinforcement particle protrude outwardly beyond the aluminum oxide matrix powder particles which are centrally disposed on the whisker. This characteristic advantageously enables the reinforced particles to anchor with the matrix component of adjacently disposed particles in any later formed coating or compacted monolithic structure.
The method of forming reinforced powder particles embodying the present invention is economical because it is carried out at a relatively low temperature and does not require sintering, reaction, pressing or subsequent comminution of the reinforced particles. In addition, segregation of the matrix and reinforcement components often found in dry-blended composite materials, is avoided.
Furthermore, the reinforced particles produced by the method embodying the present invention have highly desirable morphological characteristics because pulverizing, or comminution, or an agglomerated mass is avoided by the present process. Consequently, powder particles having fiber, whisker, or other elongate or irregular shaped reinforcement components of the particle are formed without damage, breakage, or other compromise to the size, shape, and surface characteristics of the reinforcement component.
An additional advantage of the present method of forming reinforced powder particles is that the constituent matrix and reinforcement components can be separately selected to provide optimized physical properties, such as tensile strength, hardness, wear, and ductility. Heretofore, the selection of the constituent components was limited because of reactions that may occur during process steps carried out at very high temperatures, such as sintering or reaction with an oxidizing or reducing atmosphere. Such reactions often limited the subsequent uses of the reinforced powder particles.
Other aspects, features and advantages of the present invention can be obtained from a study of this disclosure together with the appended claims.

text: Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young pleaded not guilty in an Orange County, Calif., court Tuesday to three felony charges and five misdemeanor charges, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office told Yahoo! Sports. He was still being held on a $25,000 bail as of Tuesday evening. Six of the eight charges stemmed from an incident last Friday in which Young allegedly broke into a home in San Clemente and then fought with police as they apprehended him.


text: 000 FXUS63 KLSX 272341 AFDLSX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 641 PM CDT Sat Jun 27 2015 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late Tonight) Issued at 325 PM CDT Sat Jun 27 2015 Sfc ridge will continue to build into the region this eve. Ridge axis is progd to move swd thru the after Midnight tonight, bringing swly winds to nrn and wrn portions of the CWA late tonight. Expect high to possible mid level clouds to move into nrn portions of the CWA near sunrise. With the winds becoming swly late tonight, have trended slightly warmer for these areas. For other areas, have trended aob the cooler guidance for tonight, esp for ern Ozarks regions, with winds becoming light under a clear sky. With much cooler temps expected, can not rule out FG development overnight. The deep mixing today will help cool dewpoints which may help prevent FG development. Otherwise, expect SHRA that develops this afternoon to dissipate quickly with sunset with the remainder of tonight dry. Tilly .LONG TERM: (Sunday through Next Saturday) Issued at 325 PM CDT Sat Jun 27 2015 (Sunday through Sunday Night) Complex of showers and thunderstorms ahead of a potent northwest flow vort max is expected to be just northwest of the forecast area early Sunday morning. This area is expected to head into portions of northeastern Missouri and west-central Illinois around midday. Not sure whether or not area of showers/storms will sustain itself through the morning hours but believe the area might as the low-level moist/warm advection sustains itself. In any event...strengthening of this complex...if it sustains itself...would be likely along with new development downstream. Supercells will be favored convective mode due to favorable deep-layer shear (35-45 knots) along with a sufficiently unstable airmass. As SPC noted in their discussion...NAM dewpoints and therefore progged instability seems highly suspect but GFS MLCAPE values would still support supercells. All forms of severe weather will be possible late afternoon/early evening on Sunday though large hail does seem like the predominate threat due to steep lapse rates aloft. However...damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes also possible. Highest threat of severe weather will be during the afternoon hours across central and northeastern Missouri. Initial supercells may collide/congeal into clusters by early evening with damaging winds becoming more of a threat. Storms are expected to gradually weaken as instability wanes by late evening. By 0600 UTC, front will be nearly bisecting the CWA with chance PoPs from 6-12 UTC. Regarding high temperatures for tomorrow...went near or slightly above warmer MET guidance as NW flow/clipper type disturbances are notoriously known for yielding highs warmer than guidance south and west of the track of the surface low. (Monday through Saturday) Quieter weather looks to be on tap for early next week with only a slight chance of showers/storms Monday through Tuesday mainly east of the Mississippi River. Another active period of weather looks in store late Tuesday night through Thursday. Best chances of showers and storms currently look to be on Wednesday and Wednesday night as another shortwave embedded within northwest flow transverses the mid-Mississippi Valley. Still some uncertainty of course with regards to track/timing...but unfortunately this appears to be another event which may produce some widespread rain amounts of a couple of inches and exacerbate ongoing river flooding. Temperatures will start off near seasonal norms Monday and Tuesday due to deep mixing and westerly surface flow. Leaned above warmest guidance each day due to these factors. By Wednesday and Thursday...clouds/precip chances should yield below normal highs and near normal low temperatures. NW flow aloft looks to continue heading into the 4th of July weekend with continued chances of showers/storms along with slightly below normal highs. Gosselin && .AVIATION: (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Sunday Evening) Issued at 619 PM CDT Sat Jun 27 2015 Specifics for KUIN, KCOU: A few rain showers were moving from north to south outside the 5-10 nmi vicinity of KUIN and KCOU at TAF issuance, but radar and satellite trends suggest that these showers should stay east of the terminals. Rain showers are expected to dissipate after sunset with the loss of daytime heating. Light fog is possible tonight given the clear skies and light winds. Initially north to northwest winds will gradually back overnight and become southwesterly ahead of an approaching low pressure system. BUFKIT profiles show that 20kt gusts are possible after 28/16z. Specifics for KSTL, KCPS: A few rain showers were moving from north to south towards the St. Louis metro area TAF sites at TAF issuance, but these showers should quickly dissipate tonight with the loss of daytime heating. Generally VFR conditions are expected overnight, although some light fog is possible given the clear skies and light winds. Winds will gradually back overnight and become southwesterly tomorrow ahead of an approaching low pressure system. Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop tomorrow afternoon and affect the St. Louis metro area terminals during the afternoon and evening hours. Specifics for KSUS: The moderate rain shower which passed over KSUS about an hour ago has added plenty of moisture to the lower atmosphere. The late-day addition of so much moisture has increased the odds of radiational fog development overnight given the expected clear skies and light winds. Otherwise, aviation concerns at KSUS are the same as for KSTL and KCPS (please see discussion above). Kanofsky && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES: MO...NONE. IL...NONE. && $$ WFO LSX
