      (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Monday Morning)
    Issued at 550 AM CST Sun Jan 3 2021
    
    IFR flight conditions are expected to prevail across the area at
    least through the morning and early afternoon. Ceilings may lift a
    little to MVFR across east central and southeast Missouri as well
    as southwest Illinois this afternoon, but ceilings across the
    rest of the area will likely stay below 1,000 feet. Additionally
    fog will likely persist across central and northeast Missouri into
    west central Illinois for most if not all of the day. Where
    flight conditions improve this afternoon and early evening, we'll
    probably see lowering ceilings back below 1,000 feet tonight.
    
    SPECIFICS FOR KSTL:
    
    The scattering MVFR level clouds at Lambert will be short lived
    as a broad area of IFR ceilings is moving into the vicinity from
    the southwest. Once the IFR clouds move in, it's likely there
    won't be much improvement until Monday morning...although there
    is a possibility the ceiling could lift to just above 1,000 feet
    late this afternoon or early evening before falling again tonight.
    However, confidence is not high in this scenario.
