Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 5:10 AM CST, 8 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 510 AM CST THU MAR 9 2006 THE ITEM DESERVING ATTENTION TODAY IS THE VIGOROUS STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING THE PAH FCST AREA...AND ITS POTENTIAL EFFECTS. A WAVE OF WARM SECTOR CONVECTION MOVED ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT TO THE SE OF A SFC LOW MOVING TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES. SOME STORMS HAD HIGH WIND POTENTIAL IN SERN MO FOR AWHILE...BUT AS THE LOW MOVED RAPIDLY NORTHEAST...THE INTENSITY OF THE CONVECTION GRADUALLY DIMINISHED. SINCE LATE YESTERDAY SOME PARTS OF SERN MO...SRN IL...AND SWRN IN RECEIVED IN EXCESS OF 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL...AND THERE WERE SOME SPOTTY MINOR FLOODING REPORTS OVERNIGHT. THE MODELS INDICATE THAT...AFTER A POSSIBLE MORNING LULL FOR MAINLY THE ERN SECTOR...SHWS AND TSTMS WILL BECOME NUMEROUS ONCE AGAIN IN THE AFTN. A NEGATIVELY TILTED MID LEVEL TROF...100 PLUS KNOT UPPER JET...STRONG ENVIRONMENTAL WINDS...AND A SFC TROF ARE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE PLENTIFUL MOISTURE...INSTABILITY...AND WIND SHEAR FOR SVR TSTM ACTIVITY TODAY AS THE SYSTEM DIGS THROUGH THE SRN PLAINS AND LIFTS RAPIDLY NE. WIND DAMAGE AND TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE...ALONG WITH LARGE HAIL. SEE SWODY1 FOR DETAILS. WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED EARLIER RAINFALL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN TODAY...IT WAS DECIDED THAT A FLOOD WATCH WAS JUSTIFIED FOR ROUGHLY THE NWRN HALF OF THE FCST AREA UNTIL THE WORST IS OVER TONIGHT. A WIND ADVISORY WAS CONSIDERED BUT IT WAS THOUGHT THAT THE COPIOUS CLOUDNESS AND RAIN MAY LIMIT THE WINDS ALOFT FROM TRANSLATING TO THE SFC THAT MUCH /EXCEPT IN TSTMS/. HOWEVER...IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF CLOUD BREAKS ESPECIALLY IN THE SERN SECTOR...WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA COULD BE MET THERE. FRI SHOULD BE A COOL DRY DAY IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING SYSTEM. THE NEXT MID LEVEL SHRTWV TROF TO AFFECT THE AREA WAS DEPICTED DIFFERENTLY BY THE 00Z NAM/GFS BUT LOOKED QUITE SIMILAR FOR THE 06Z RUN. SO...BY FRI NITE THERE WILL BE A SMALL CHC OF CONVECTION. POPS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND LINGER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SW TO NE MID LEVEL FLOW AND PERSISTENT MOIST LOW LEVEL FLOW DOMINATES.
