Severe Thunderstorm Warning 74, NWS Paducah, KY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
330 AM CDT FRI APR 10 2009

.DISCUSSION...
LOOKS AS THO MAIN SVR RISK IS CURRENTLY MOVING EAST OF THE REGION
WITH CURRENT LINE OF STORMS. HOWEVER...SFC LOW/COLD FRONT IS STILL
OUT WEST OF THE SGF AREA...AND THE AIR MASS MAY HAVE A CHANCE TO
RECOVER THIS MORNING BEFORE THE SFC LOW COMES THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA. IF THAT OCCURS...THERE MAY BE A WINDOW 12Z-18Z FOR STORM
REDEVELOPMENT AND A HAIL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID LVL COLD POOL.
COULD ALSO BE DAMAGING WIND THREAT IF INSTABILITY CAN BECOME SFC
BASED...ALLOWING DOWNDRAFTS TO REACH THE SFC. BEST CHANCE FOR THIS
TO OCCUR WILL BE AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE OH RIVER.

POPS WILL FINALLY DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST THIS AFTERNOON EARLY
TONIGHT AS THE LOW RACES EAST. WILL THEN FOLLOW WITH A COUPLE OF
NICE EASTER WEEKEND DAYS. ON SUNDAY THE HIGH PRESSURE WHICH GAVE US
THE NICE WEEKEND WILL SHIFT EAST AND THE NEXT DEVELOPING SYSTEM WILL
RACE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. SOME LIGHT PRECIP MAY BREAK OUT WEST OF
THE MS RVR LATE IN THE DAY ON EASTER SUNDAY...BUT THE PRECIP WILL
HOLD OFF IN MOST AREAS UNTIL SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER
POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN EVENT WITH AN INCH OR TWO OF RAIN POSSIBLE AT
MANY LOCATIONS. SVR THREAT SUN NIGHT LOOKS LESS RIGHT NOW...AS MAIN
INSTABILITY SHOULD BE TO OUR SOUTH.

MON-TUE THE MAIN UPPER LOW LIFTS SLOWLY NE INTO AND THROUGH THE OH
VALLEY...SO THEY STILL LOOK LIKE CLOUDY/POTENTIALLY SHOWERY DAYS
BEFORE NICE SPRING-TIME WEATHER RETURNS IN THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
A LULL IN THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST INTO THE MID
MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER...LOCALLY IFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED AROUND
SUNRISE AS A RESULT OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM HEAVY RAIN EARLIER.
BY MIDDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL BE CROSSING THE REGION...AND MORE
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED THEN. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THE
ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE SCATTERED AND LESS INTENSE. IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT...LOW CLOUDS WILL ARRIVE BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE
THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL BE RATHER BRISK FROM THE NORTH.
