   ILLINOIS...AND FOR LIVINGSTON AND CRITTENDEN COUNTIES IN 
   WESTERN KENTUCKY...UNTIL 1030 PM...

AT 915 PM...PADUCAH DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO SHOW STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS...PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN...OVER SOUTHERN LIVINGSTON
COUNTY...THE SOUTHERN TIP OF POPE COUNTY AND EXTREME WESTERN
CRITTENDEN COUNTY. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN
THROUGH 1000 PM...WHICH SHOULD HELP TO OFFSET ADDITIONAL FLOODING.

SMALL CREEKS OR STREAMS WITH WATER AT OR ABOVE BANKFULL...AND
WATER OVER SOME FLOOD PRONE ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL
SECTIONS OF POPE COUNTY...NORTHERN LIVINGSTON COUNTY AND 
WESTERN CRITTENDEN COUNTY.

REMEMBER...DO NOT TRAVEL ACROSS A WATER COVERED ROADWAY. EVEN
RAPIDLY FLOWING WATER THAT APPEARS SHALLOW CAN SWEEP A CAR OFF
THE ROAD. TURN AROUND AND USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE. FLOODING IS
HARDER TO RECOGNIZE AT NIGHT AS WELL...SO USE EXTREME CAUTION.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION....CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
200 PM CDT THU JUL 22 2004

.SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...
CLOUDS LEFT OVER FROM CONVECTIVE DEBRIS IN THE ERN PART OF THE
FCST AREA FINALLY DIMINISHED EARLY THIS AFTN...ALLOWING THE
SUN TO FILTER THRU THE CIRRUS SHIELD AND HELP TO PUSH HEAT INDICIES
TO FIGURES TOWARD 105...HOPEFULLY VERIFYING THE EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING IN EFFECT FOR TODAY FOR SWRN 2/3RDS OF THE AREA.
MEANWHILE...TSTM ACTIVITY CONTINUED IN THE EARLY AFTN ACROSS THE
PENNYRILE REGION OF W KY AND SW IN AS MID LEVEL S/WV ENERGY AND
SUBTLE SFC TROFFINESS ACTED ON AN ATMOSPHERE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
OF AROUND 2 INCHES AND SBCAPE IN THE 3000 J/KG RANGE. STILL THINK
CLOUDS/STORMS WILL LIMIT PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE NON WARNING
AREA THIS AFTN. WITH WEAK WINDS IN THE LOWER TROP AND LITTLE IN THE
WAY OF JET STREAM DYNAMICS...ONGOING CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO STAY
OUT OF SVR CATEGORY...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAIN AMOUNTS
WHERE TRAINING OCCURS.

WE REMAIN ON THE PERIPHERY OF A 500MB HIGH THAT WILL CONTINUE TO
INTERACT WITH MID LVL S/WV ENERGY FOR FRI. AS A LARGE LOBE OF ENERGY
ROTATES AROUND A CNTRL CANADIAN 500MB LOW AND PUSHES A SFC BOUNDARY
SWD THRU THE FCST AREA...NGM/GFS CLEARLY DEPICT A SFC WAVE
DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT AND SKIPPING ACROSS THE NERN SECTOR. THIS
MAY CONCENTRATE THE HIGHEST QPFS MAINLY TO THE EAST OF THE FCST AREA
FRI. MODEL CONSENSUS IS THAT SFC WINDS WILL TURN TO THE NORTH OR NE
ON FRI AND S/WV ENERGY WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE LIFT IN ADDITION TO
THE FORCING FROM THE SHALLOW POOL OF COOLER DRIER AIR MOVING TO THE
SOUTH. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH LOW LVL
STABILITY TO PRECLUDE THUNDER IN THE POST FRONTAL CONVECTION BY FRI
AFTN. ON SAT...THE ERN END OF AN INVERTED SFC TROF ASSOCIATED WITH
YET MORE MID LVL TROFFINESS WILL APPROACH THE FCST AREA FROM THE
NW...KEEPING A CHANCE OF SHWS IN THE FCST. ON SUNDAY...GFS INDICATES
THE INVERTED SFC TROF WILL DAMP OUT AND MOVE EAST WITH A DIGGING MID
LVL TROF...WHICH MEANS A RATHER SMALL CHANCE OF PCPN WILL HAVE TO BE
ADDED TO THE SUNDAY/SUNDAY NITE FCST. THE TROF IS PROGGED TO DEEPEN
INTO A LOW CENTERED OVER IA/WI BY MON.

&&

.LONG TERM DISCUSSION...
ON MONDAY...EXPECT SURFACE LOW TO MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE SPINE OF
THE APPALACHIAN MTS AS UPPER LOW DIGS SOUTHEAST INTO IA/MO. LOOKS AS
THOUGH MOST OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE AND PRECIP WILL STAY JUST EAST OF
OUR AREA...EVEN IF THE WETTER GFS BECOMES REALITY. HOWEVER...GIVEN
THE STRENGTH OF THE H50 LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...THINK AT LEAST CHANCE
POPS ARE WARRANTED IN OUR EASTERN COUNTIES. WITH THE ACTUAL COLD
FRONT WELL TO THE SOUTH...GFS PROGGED LI AND SI VALLUES ARE WELL
ABOVE ZERO...SO WILL NOT INCLUDE CHANCE OF THUNDER AT THIS TIME.

THEREAFTER...SHOULD SEE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BEGIN TO
DOMINATE TUE/WED/THU TIME FRAME...WITH UNSEASONABLY COOL DAYTIME
TEMPS IN THE LOWER/MID 80S AND NIGHTTIME LOWS WELL DOWN INTO THE
60S. MAY EVEN SEE SOME UPPER 50S IN NORTHERN COUNTIES. NO PRECIP
EXPECTED THIS TIME PERIOD.

&&

.PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
KY...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING UNTIL 7PM CDT FOR MOST OF AREA.
MO...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING UNTIL 7PM CDT FOR ENTIRE AREA.
IL...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING UNTIL 7PM CDT FOR SOUTHERNMOST IL.
IN...NONE.
