AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
105 PM CDT SAT JUN 28 1997

FORECAST PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. NEW 12Z MODELS
ARE QUITE AGGRESSIVE WITH RESPECT TO RAINFALL POTENTIAL NEXT 24 HOURS.
12Z FWC IS CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS RUNS IN RAISING POPS INTO THE
LIKELY CATEGORY FOR SUNDAY. THIS TREND LOOKS REASONABLE AS THE THREE
MODELS AGREE THAT A 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH/VORT LOBE WILL MOVE EAST
...EXTENDING FROM ERN MISSOURI TO THE WRN GULF COAST LATE SUNDAY.
IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH...LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE
PROGGED TO BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE SOUTHWEST
FLOW SHOULD ADVECT THE VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR THAT HAS BEEN OVER
ARKANSAS INTO THE FA. THIS SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR MORE NUMEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY. COULD BE SOME RUNOFF PROBLEMS WHERE RECENT
RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN HEAVY...PRIMARILY SE MISSOURI.

IN THE SHORT TERM...CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS
BEARS CLOSE WATCHING AS IT EDGES INTO SE MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON.
ELSEWHERE...STILL EXPECT AT LEAST SOME ISOLATED STORMS TO DEVELOP IN
THE VERY UNSTABLE UNCAPPED AIR MASS. MORNING 1 KM VISIBLE SATELLITE
PICTURES SHOWED A COUPLE OF BOUNDARIES LAID OUT ACROSS SE MISSOURI
AND WRN KENTUCKY.

TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN THE EASIEST PART OF THE FORECAST LATELY.
LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD FOLLOW PERSISTENCE...WHICH IS IN LINE WITH MOS
GUIDANCE. HIGH SUNDAY A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT...DEPEND(ING ON AMOUNT
OF CLOUDCOVER AND RAIN. ETA 2 METER TEMPS SUPPORT COOLER FAN HIGHS.
