AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
300 PM CDT SUN APR 2 2006

DISCUSSION...
SEVERAL ISSUES THIS PACKAGE WITH TIMING OF STORMS...MODERATE RISK OF
SEVERE WEATHER...DRY SLOT MOVING INTO THE REGION...ALL WITHIN THE
FIRST 6 HOURS OR SO.

BOTH NAM AND GFS ARE VERY SIMILAR WITH THE SYSTEM TODAY/TONIGHT.
WARM FRONT CONTS TO LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. AT 18Z...THE WARM FRONT WAS LOCATED NEAR A LINE FROM
PERRYVILLE MO TO THE EVV AND OWB AREAS ALONG THE OH RVR. EXPECT WARM
FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE CWA BETWEEN BY 21Z. STORMS HAVE
REALLY BEGUN TO BLOSSOM ALONG THIS WARM FRONT JUST EAST OF EVV.
THESE STORMS ARE FORMING IN STABLE LOW LEVEL ENVIRONMENT...SO SHOULD
REMAIN ELEVATED WITH MAIN THREAT BEING HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.

15Z RUC MODEL STILL SUGGESTS A BROKEN SQUALL LINE WILL DEVELOP JUST
TO OUR WEST IN SE MO LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND THEN MOVE QUICKLY
THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT. STABILITY AND WIND
FIELDS STILL LOOK SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS AND LINE SEGMENTS WITH
DESTRUCTIVE WINDS. ALSO...SFC DEW POINTS ARE ALREADY IN THE LOWER
AND MID 60S IN THE WARM SECTOR SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. IN
CONTRAST...THE NAM AND GFS KEEP THE SYSTEM RATHER STARVED FOR
MOISTURE...WITH MID LVL DRY SLOTTING HELPING TO KEEP CONVECTION TO A
MINIMUM.

AS OF 1930Z...STLT IMAGES AND AREA WSR-88D RADARS INDICATED STORMS
FIRING RAPIDLY OUT NEAR SGF. THUS...HAVE CHOSEN TO DISCREDIT THE LOW
MOS POPS FROM THE GFS AND NAM MODELS. WILL CONTINUE WITH FAIRLY HIGH
STORM CHANCES THIS EVENING OVER THE ENTIRE REGION...WITH HIGHEST
CHCS FURTHER NORTH CLOSER TO THE GREATER MID LEVEL SUPPORT. AS PER
SPC DISCUSSION...EXPECT ALL TYPES OF SEVERE WEATHER WITH THIS
LINE...ESP DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. COULD ALSO BE A FEW STRONG
TORNADOES...ESP IN DISCRETE CELLS AHEAD OF THE LINE...OR BROKEN
AREAS WITHIN THE LINE.

WILL END ALL PRECIP LATER TONIGHT AS SFC FRONT AND UPPER SHORT WAVE
FINALLY MOVE EAST OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...THE MAIN UPPER TROF WILL
NOT COME THROUGH THE REGION UNTIL MONDAY MORNING. EXPECT LOW CLOUDS
AND MAYBE EVEN SOME SPRINKLES WITH THIS SYSTEM...ESP OVER NORTH/EAST
AREAS OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...MOST IF NOT ALL AREAS SHOULD
SEE SOME SUN BY LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE FINALLY
PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST.

LOOK FOR A DRY AND COOLER PERIOD MON/TUE AS THE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS
IN. FROST/FREEZE MAY EVEN BE A POSSIBILITY TUE/WED MORNINGS...
DEPENDING ON AMOUNT OF WIND MONDAY NIGHT AND THE AMOUNT OF MID
CLOUDS TUE NIGHT.

NOT A LOT OF CHANGES WITH THE EXTENDED. CONTINUED WITH SLGT CHCS
STARTING IN SEMO WED NIGHT WITH INCREASING CHCS THU AND GOOD/BEST
CHANCE THURS NGT. CONTINUE LINGERING CHC INTO FRIDAY. FOR THE
WEEKEND HAD MAJOR DESCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE 00Z SUN GFS AND THE 06Z
SUN DGEX. LEANED TOWARD THE MORE CONSISTENT GFS. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS
SPEED AND PLACEMENT OF THE HIGH PRESSURE. THE DGEX PLACES SFC HIGH
OVER WEST VA. AND RAPIDLY MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST SUNDAY. THE GFS
ON THE OTHER HAND PLACES THE HIGH OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THE WIND DIRECTION IN
THE GRIDS. SINCE THE WIND SPEED ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SIGNIFICANT
ANY WAY JUST FOLLOWED THE GFS.

AS FOR TEMPS MINOR TWEAKS HERE AN THERE MAINLY FOR COLLABORATION
PURPOSES. COOLED THINGS DOWN A LITTLE LATE IN THE WEEK AFTER THE
LATE WEEK SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH AND INCREASED CLOUD COVER ROUGHLY
FROM WED THROUGH FRI AM.
