AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
145 PM CST SAT DEC 22 2007

.SHORT TERM...
INTENSE 500 MB SHORTWAVE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL LIFT
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT. SURFACE CYCLONE OVER
EXTREME NE OKLAHOMA WILL DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS ACROSS THE KSTL AREA BY
06Z. STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE
PRIMARY CONCERN. GRADIENT WINDS IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WILL LIKELY
BE VERY CLOSE TO ADVISORY CRITERIA THIS EVENING. PLAN TO ISSUE WIND
ADVISORY WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE...MAINLY FOR GUSTS NEAR 45 MPH
WHICH MAY BE ENHANCED BY PRECIPITATION OF A CONVECTIVE CHARACTER.

INDIRECT EFFECT OF THESE STRONG WIND FIELDS WILL BE ON CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL. 850 MB WINDS ARE FORECAST BY THE RUC MODEL TO INCREASE TO
50 TO 60 KT ACROSS WESTERN KENTUCKY BY MID EVENING. INTENSE FORCING
ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND SHORTWAVE MAY RESULT
IN A STRONGLY FORCED LINE OF LOW TOPPED CONVECTION. THE PRIMARY
LIMITING FACTORS ARE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. AN EASTERLY COMPONENT
TO THE SURFACE WINDS IS IMPEDING THE NORTHWARD PROGRESS OF 60 DEGREE
DEW POINTS THROUGH THE ARKLATEX REGION. RUC MODEL PINCHES OFF THE
NARROW RIBBON OF 55 PLUS DEW POINTS BEFORE IT REACHES THE FORECAST
AREA. THIS SUGGESTS THE PRIMARY HAZARD WILL BE A FEW DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS WITH LOW TOPPED LINEAR STRUCTURES...PER 16Z SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK.

THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA AROUND
06Z...A COUPLE HOURS SOONER IN THE WEST AND LATER IN THE EAST. THIS
FRONT WILL END THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION. SOME LINGERING POST
FRONTAL STRATIFORM PRECIP IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT...WHICH MAY END
AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW IN PARTS OF SRN ILLINOIS AND SE MISSOURI.

A SOLID LOW OVERCAST IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE
CENTER WILL PERSIST INTO EARLY SUNDAY. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT
THAT 925/850 MB RH WILL DECREASE SHARPLY AROUND 12Z IN SE
MISSOURI...AND BY 18Z IN SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND PENNYRILE OF WEST
KENTUCKY. A GUSTY WEST WIND AND STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL PRODUCE
WIND CHILLS IN THE 20S...IN SHARP CONTRAST TO TODAY.

MONDAY THROUGH CHRISTMAS DAY WILL BE A SHORT LIVED QUIET PERIOD
BEFORE AN ACTIVE PATTERN PATTERN RESUMES...AS DISCUSSED IN LONG TERM
SEGMENT OF THIS DISCUSSION. LOW POPS FOR CHRISTMAS EVE/EARLY
CHRISTMAS DAY WILL BE CONVERTED TO MENTION OF FLURRIES. A WEAK 500
MB SHORTWAVE WILL SHEAR APART AS IT CROSSES THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY
NIGHT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN PLENTY OF DRY
AIR...INHIBITING ANYTHING MORE THAN A TRACE EVENT.

&&

.LONG TERM...
ERY PROGRESSIVE UPPER FLOW REGIME WILL BRING NEXT SYSTEM IN QUICKLY
DURING THE DAY WED AND WED NIGHT. WITH SFC LOW EXPECTED TO PASS NEAR
OR JUST NORTH OF THE REGION...SHOULD STAY JUST WARM ENOUGH TO KEEP
MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT PRECIP IN THE LIQUID FORM. STILL WILL ALLOW
FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A CHANGE OVER TO SNOW OR A MIX OF RAIN AND
SNOW ALONG AND NW OF THE OHIO RIVER WED NIGHT BEFORE THE PRECIP
ENDS. 12Z GFS IS MUCH QUICKER WITH THE SYSTEM THAN IT HAS BEEN THE
PAST SEVERAL RUNS. DECIDED TO DISCARD THIS QUICKER SOLUTION FOR THIS
PACKAGE...AND WENT A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE MORE CONSISTENT AND SLOWER
ECMWF SOLUTION. ALSO...THE ECMWF HAS BEEN THE BETTER MEDIUM RANGE
PERFORMER AS OF LATE.

12Z GFS ALSO HAS COMPLETELY DIGRESSED FROM ITS PREVIOUS SOLUTION
YESTERDAY OF BRINGING THE NEXT H50 SHORT WAVE INTO THE PLAINS FRI...
OPTING TO KEEP THE UPPER SYSTEM OUT WEST. AGAIN...PREFER TO STICK
WITH A SOLUTION CLOSER TO THE ECMWF HERE...WHICH CORRESPONDS CLOSELY
TO WHAT WE HAVE ONGOING IN THE CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE. IN
FACT...IF THE 00Z ECMWF TURNS OUT CLOSE TO REALITY...WE WILL BE
LOOKING AT A VERY POTENT SYSTEM COMING IN FRIDAY WITH EVEN A
POSSIBILITY OF SOME SEVERE WEATHER. OF COURSE...MANY THINGS COULD
CHANGE BY THAT TIME.

WILL STAY FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE MEX MOS TEMPS IN THE WED THROUGH SAT
TIME FRAME.

&&

.AVIATION...
SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED CONVECTION WILL MOVE RAPIDLY NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING. VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL
POSE A CONCERN FOR AVIATION. SURFACE GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KT WILL
OCCUR PRIOR TO THE WIND SHIFT WITH THE COLD FRONT. WINDS ALOFT WILL
BE NEAR 50 KT AT 3K FEET. FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...WINDS
ALOFT WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT TO AROUND 40 KT. HOWEVER...SURFACE
GUSTS WILL REMAIN AROUND 30 KT. CIGS AND VSBYS WILL BE HIGHLY
VARIABLE IN CONVECTIVE PRECIP THIS EVENING. FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...A STABLE MVFR CIG IS EXPECTED...WITH VSBYS BECOMING
EXCELLENT.
