AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
245 PM CDT FRI SEP 22 2006

.DISCUSSION...
SATELLITE AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW THE WARM FRONT LIFTING OVER
THE PAH FA...WITH TDS IN THE L70S IN THE WARM SECTOR SUPPLANTING
L-M60S TDS HANGING ON IN THE NRN/ERN PTNS FA. FREE CONVECTION
INITIATED IN THE SCOURED OUT ZONE TO OUR WEST...WHICH IS THE FOCUS
OF THE TORNADO WATCH OVER OUR WRN 1/3 OF THE FA...WHERE MDT RISK OF
SVR EXISTS. GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY PICKING UP ON THIS CONVECTION
AND RACING IT EWARD INTO SEMO BETWEEN 00-06Z...SPREADING OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE FA OVERNIGHT. PWS NR 1.5-2 NEARBY/UPSTREAM HELPING
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND IN COMBO W/HPC QPF DAYS1-2 SUPPORT ONGOING FFA
THRU END OF EVENT.

AFTER TONIGHTS ROUND ALL EYES TURN TO COLD FRONTAL CONVECTIVE
CHANCES SAT PM/EVENING. BETTER DYNAMICS ENTER THE PICTURE BY THEN AS
THE UPPER LOW/JET DRIVES THE FRONT ON THRU...TEXT OF SWODY2
CONSISTENTLY HINTING AT UPGRADE TO MDT RISK. WL THEREFORE HIGHLIGHT
SVR THREAT BOTH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW IN ADDITION TO LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN THREAT.

GFS HAVING REALLY BEEN MODEL OF CHOICE DUE TO ITS CONSISTENCY...IT
TAKES THE FRONT EAST OF THE FA (A LITTLE FASTER THAN THE NAM) BY 06Z
SUN. HOWEVER FOR COLLABORATIVE PURPOSES WE LINGERING A SMALL CHANCE
OF POST FRONTAL PCPN IN THE FAR SE EARLY SUN. AFTER THAT A DRIER AND
SEASONALLY COOLER AIR MASS WORKS AND HOLDS THRU THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.

BY DAYS 6-7...NEXT SYSTEM YIELDS CHC PCPN FA-WIDE. FOR NOW HAVE
BOUGHT GFS SO STICKING W/IT AND THE COLLABORATIVE PICTURE IS OUR
APPROACH...BUT ACKNOWLEDGE SOME TIMING/INCONSISTENCY MAY EVENTUALLY
LEAD TO ADJUSTMENTS AND IS WHY WE KEEP CHC CAT PCPN DESPITE MOS
SUGGESTIONS FOR HIGHER.

MET AND MAV MOS IS CLOSE WHILE FWC MOS SEEMS OVERDONE ON BOTH THE
HIGH AND LOW ENDS AND UNDERDONE ON PCPN. OUR OVERALL GFS PREFERENCE
LEANS US TO ITS MAV/MEX BASED MOS WHEN LEANING.
