Severe Thunderstorm Warning 202, NWS Paducah, KY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
150 PM CDT WED OCT 24 2001

BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THROUGH THIS EVENING.

LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A LOW OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
REGION. A STRONG COLD FRONT DROPPED SOUTH-SOUTHWEST FROM THE LOW
ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS...WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS...SOUTHWEST
MISSOURI...NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...INTO NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS.
ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT IS A VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE. THIS SYSTEM WILL
PLOW ACROSS OUR CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. AHEAD OF THE
FRONT THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY UNSTABLE (MODIFIED BNA SOUNDING SHOWED
: K INDEX 36...LI -9...SWEAT 422...CAPE 2935). WIND SHEAR PROFILES
IN THE LOWEST LEVELS INDICATE SUFFICIENT CLOCKWISE TURNING TO
GENERATE ROTATING UPDRAFTS IN THE STRONGER STORMS. STRONG WINDS
THROUGH THE ENTIRE COLUMN AND SWIFT MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS
THEMSELVES WILL MAKE STRONG DOWNBURSTS A GOOD POSSIBILITY AS WELL.
THE FRONT WILL CLEAR THE EASTERN PART OF OUR CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON.
IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND
INCREASING HEIGHTS ALOFT SHOULD KEEP OUR REGION DRY THROUGH NEXT
WEDNESDAY.  TEMPERATURES...HOWEVER WILL BE COOLER...WITH A
REINFORCING SHOT OF EVEN COOLER AIR OVERSPREADING THE REGION ON
FRIDAY.

.PAH...TORNADO WATCHES 797 & 798 IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE CWA
THROUGH 7 PM.
