AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 103 AM CST MON NOV 28 2005 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE PRECIP CHANCES TODAY...AND THE COOL DOWN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. CURRENTLY SOUTHEAST MISSOURI COUNTIES ARE UNDER A TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 2 AM...REST OF THE PAH FORECAST AREA IS UNDER A TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 6 AM. LARGE AREA OF RAIN IS VERY SLOWLY MAKING ITS WAY EASTWARD...ALREADY EXTENDING ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND JUST STARTING TO MAKE IT INTO WEST KENTUCKY. LINE OF EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDED FROM RANDOLPH COUNTY ILLINOIS TO STODDARD COUNTY MISSOURI.

GFS IS FASTER THAN THE NAM PUSHING THE PRE FRONTAL PRECIP/COLD FRONT THROUGH THE PAH FORECAST AREA TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. GFS HAS A BETTER HANDLE ON CURRENT PRECIP LOCATION...SO WILL LEAN TOWARD THE GFS SOLUTION. GFS SHOWS DECENT QPF STILL ACROSS THE PAH FA THROUGH 18Z...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...THEN QUICKLY ENDS PRECIP WEST TO EAST THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT GRIDS HANDLE THIS WELL AND WILL ONLY MAKE MINOR CHANGES. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY DURING THE MORNING HOURS...BACKING OFF BY LATE AFTERNOON. QUIET AND MUCH COOLER WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT LASTING INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. BOTH GFS AND NAM INDICATE A WEAK DRY COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR THAT WILL LAST INTO THE WEEKEND...KEEPING TEMPERATURES UNSEASONABLY COOL. BY SUNDAY...A RETURN OF SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL HELP TEMPERATURES REBOUND AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT. MAV/MET BOTH INDICATE MORNING HIGHS TODAY...WITH FALLING TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON.

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK THAT THE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT WILL BECOME SEVERE. BECAUSE OF INCREASING WIND SPEEDS ALOFT...THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT AND ORGANIZE AS THEY TRACK EAST OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI DURING THE EVENING HOURS. SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST MISSOURI DURING THE ENTIRE NIGHT...WHILE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WILL BE MAINLY AFTER 900 PM. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TRACKING EAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS...

THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL SHIFT TO THE KENTUCKY PENNYRILE BY MONDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE ENDING ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY MONDAY EVENING. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS WESTERN AREAS BY LATE EVENING AND ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. BECAUSE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING AT 55 TO 65 MPH...SPOTTERS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO BE IN PLACE AND ACTIVATED AS SOON AS THUNDERSTORMS MOVE INTO THE COUNTY UPSTREAM. MTF
