Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 2:46 PM CDT, 3 hours 38 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 246 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003 MAIN FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST. AT 19Z...THUNDERSTORMS WERE ONGOING ACROSS THE PAH FORECAST AREA FROM BASICALLY I-55 EASTWARD. LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA/WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWEST THROUGH EASTERN IOWA...NORTHWEST MISSOURI INTO OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. TEMPERATURES AT 19Z WERE STILL IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS MUCH OF THE PAH FA...WITH A FEW AREAS AROUND 70 WHERE RAIN HAS ENDED. AVN/MESOETA/ETA MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW FRONT MOVING SOUTHEAST AND DRAPING ACROSS NORTHWEST PORTIONS OR JUST NORTHWEST OF THE PAH FORECAST AREA BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. MODELS INDICATE THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN NEAR/SOMETIMES OVER OUR REGION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE LULLS IN SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND DISTURBANCES ALONG THE FRONT WILL MAKE EXACT TIMING OF BREAKS DIFFICULT. FWC/MAV GUIDANCE SHOW HIGH CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS FOR WEDNESDAY...AND SPC DAY 1 AND DAY 2 GUIDANCE HAS ENTIRE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK. ALREADY HAVE LIKELY GOING IN THE CURRENT PACKAGE FOR WEDNESDAY AND WILL CONTINUE THIS. BEST BET BEYOND WEDNESDAY IS TO HAVE CHANCE POPS EACH DAY UNTIL MODELS SHOW BETTER AGREEMENT IN SPECIFIC TIME PERIODS. MAV GUIDANCE HIGHS ARE A LITTLE COOLER THAN FWC. PREFER THE COOLER MAV READINGS DUE TO CLOUDS AND PRECIP. MAV/FWC LOWS ARE SIMILAR AND WILL STICK CLOSE TO THESE VALUES. IN THE EXTENDED...WITH EXPECTED CLOUDS AND PRECIP...AGAIN WILL GO NEAR OR A LITTLE BELOW MEX GUIDANCE. .PAH...NONE. TREVINO
