AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
230 PM CST SAT MAR 11 2006

.DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

CONCERNS IN THE SHORT TERM ARE MANY...BUT MAINLY INVOLVE CONVECTIVE
WEATHER WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT
AND EARLY SUNDAY...AND AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY.

BUSY DAY SO WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF.  THERE ARE CONSIDERABLE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 12Z NAM AND GFS.  THE NAM IS QUICKER TO
BRING EACH ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI IN THE
EVENING...AND FASTER TO SWEEP IT EASTWARD OUT OF THE REGION BY 18Z
THE FOLLOWING THE DAY.  THE GFS ADVERTISES A BEGIN TIME OF 06Z OR
LATER...AND ONLY SLOWLY DRIFTS THE BAND OF CONVECTION EASTWARD
THROUGH THE FOLLOWING DAY.

SEE NO REASON TO BELIEVE A RAPID EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF
CONVECTION...GIVEN NO SURFACE FRONTS AND CONTINUED SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT.  INSTEAD THE GFS/S SOLUTION OF DRIFTING THE CONVECTION SLOWLY
EASTWARD AS THE CORE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET VEERS OVERNIGHT AND
THROUGH THE NEXT DAY SEEMS TO MAKE MORE SENSE.  THE COLD FRONT WILL
BE MORE OF A PLAYER ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...SO THE ACTIVITY
WILL LIKELY BE A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE IN GETTING OUT OF THE REGION
MONDAY...THAN IT WILL BE SUNDAY.  IF THE GFS IS CORRECT...WE WILL BE
GRUNGED OUT SUNDAY...AND THIS MAY LIMIT INSTABILITY AVAILABLE TO THE
STORMS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT...WHICH MIGHT LIMIT THE SEVERE POTENTIAL.
OF COURSE TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE A PLEASANT FORECAST EITHER.  WILL
PROBABLY STICK CLOSE TO THE GFS-BASED MAV NUMBERS.

AS FOR SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...STORMS OVER WESTERN MISSOURI AND
ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE TOWARD THE REGION LATE
THIS EVENING.  THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE TO 40-45KTS AHEAD OF
THE STORMS...LEADING TO PLENTY OF HELICITY FOR ROTATING
UPDRAFTS...HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE LITTLE SHEAR ABOVE THE LLJ.
LAPSE RATES WILL BE RATHER STEEP...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHEAST
MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.

WE ARE GENERALLY EXPECTING LARGE HAIL TO BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH
TONIGHTS EVENT...WITH A LESSER...BUT NOT NEGLIBLE DAMAGING WIND AND
TORNADO THREAT.  THE OVERALL SEVERITY AND COVERAGE OF SEVERE WEATHER
SHOULD DECREASE LATE TONIGHT AS THE ACTIVITY PUSHES INTO SOUTHWEST
INDIANA AND WEST KENTUCKY.

THE MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF ON THE QPF FOR THE EVENT. IT IS DIFFICULT
TO FIND EVEN 1 INCH OF QPF...SO WOULD EXPECT FLOODING PROBLEMS TO BE
TIED TO THE STRONGEST STORMS AND ANY TRAINING OF STORMS...WHICH
COULD BE A PROBLEM OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.

FOR SUNDAY NIGHTS EVENT...WHICH SHOULD BE THE FINAL EPISODE FOR
AWHILE...THERE WILL MORE FORCING...AND STRONGER WIND
FIELDS...HOWEVER...STILL LITTLE SHEAR IN THE STORM BEARING LAYER.
AS STATED ABOVE...INSTABILITY COULD BE A LIMITING FACTOR IF WE DO
NOT SEE ANY SUNSHINE SUNDAY.  STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO GET GOING OUT
TO THE WEST OF US NEAR THE FRONT IN THE AFTERNOON...AND THEN MOVE
TOWARD THE REGION BY LATE EVENING.  WITH THE FORCING...IT IS
EXPECTED THAT THE STORMS WILL HAVE FORMED ONE OR MORE CLUSTERS
BEFORE THEY MOVE THROUGH OUR REGION.  THIS WILL BRING DAMAGING WINDS
TO THE FOREFRONT WITH THIS EVENT...WITH A LESSER EMPHASIS ON
TORNADOES AND HAIL.  ONCE AGAIN TEMPERATURES MONDAY WILL BE
INTERESTING...GIVEN A SIGNIFICANT FRONTAL PASSAGE AND UNCERTAINTY ON
PRECIPITATION AND CLOUD TRENDS.

GIVEN THE POSSIBLE ORGANIZATION TO THE CONVECTION SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY...HEAVIER RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE LIKELY...AND WILL NOT BE
AS ISOLATED AS EXPECTED TONIGHT.  SOME AREAS COULD SEE UP TO 2
INCHES BEFORE THINGS COME TO AN END ON MONDAY.  KEEP YOUR MOPS HANDY.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

IN THE CURRENT LESS INTERESTING EXTENDED...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
GRADUALLY BUILD IN FROM THE NORTHWEST MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...KEEPING CONDITIONS ACROSS OUR REGION DRY WITH NEAR
SEASONAL TEMPERATURES.  BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT GFS BRINGS A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM TOWARD THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...MOVING IT ACROSS THE
QUAD STATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.  ECMWF IS SIMILAR WITH THE
TIMING BUT FARTHER NORTH WITH THE TRACK.  FOR NOW JUST INTRODUCED
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ON THURSDAY AND WILL FINE TUNE AS THE EVENT GETS
CLOSER.  BY FRIDAY INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SLIDE NORTH OF THE AREA KEEPING CONDITIONS DRY AND
SEASONAL. FOR TEMPERATURES...USED A MIX OF MEX VALUES AND HPC
GUIDANCE.
