AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
457 PM CDT SUN APR 24 2011

.DISCUSSION...
LOTS GOING ON THIS AFTERNOON WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF.

THE ACTIVE SURFACE BOUNDARY HAS LAID DOWN RIGHT ON THE
KENTUCKY/TENNESSEE BORDER...AND COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE
WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM OVER IT THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO
MONDAY. IN PARTICULAR...THE LARGE SYSTEM OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY TRY TO RIDE ALONG THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY AND SPREAD MORE WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE AREA
LATER TONIGHT. WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING IS ONGOING THIS
AFTERNOON...AND IS EXPECTED TO GET WORSE/MORE WIDESPREAD BY MONDAY
MORNING.

THE MODELS CONTINUE TO PUSH THE BOUNDARY BACK TO OUR
NORTHWEST AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHWEST
STATES. NOT SURE HOW FAR IT WILL MAKE IT GIVEN THE CONTINUED
CONVECTION OVER THE AREA. ANYWAY IT SEEMS LIKE WE MAY SEE A
RESPITE FROM THE HEAVY RAINS MONDAY AFTERNOON. BUT AS THE FIRST
BIG IMPULSE ROTATES NEGATIVELY-TILTED ACROSS THE AREA LATE MONDAY
AND MONDAY NIGHT...A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS
LIKELY...BUT MAY BE MODULATED BY THE FRONTAL LOCATION. LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE...OF COURSE WITH
THE EVER PRESENT HEAVY RAINFALL.

DECIDED TO LEAVE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO EXPIRE AT 12Z
TUESDAY...AS ANOTHER BREAK IS LIKELY DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. THE
12Z GFS DEVIATED FROM PREVIOUS GUIDANCE CONSENSUS IN PUSHING THE
BOUNDARY EAST OF THE AREA AHEAD OF THE FINAL MAJOR UPPER LEVEL
IMPULSE. THIS KEEPS THE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY HEAVY
RAIN/SEVERE WEATHER FOCUS TO OUR EAST. THE 12Z ECMWF REMAINED
STEADY WITH ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT ROUND OF PRECIPITATION INTO
WEDNESDAY. WILL WAIT TO SEE IF THEY CAN AGREE BEFORE CONTINUING
THE WATCH.

&&

.AVIATION...
KCGI CURRENTLY IS BEHIND THE FRONT...AND ITS NORTHEAST WINDS MAY
SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTH LATER THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
PREVALENT THROUGHOUT THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND MAY LINGER WELL
INTO THE EVENING AT KEVV AND KOWB. COMPUTER GUIDANCE IS INDICATING
ANOTHER ROUND EARLY TOMORROW MORNING IN THE WEST AND SHIFT EAST
THROUGH THE MORNING. OUTSIDE OF THUNDER MAY SEE SOME IFR CEILINGS ON
THE COOL SIDE OF THE FRONT...AND PERIODIC MVFR CEILINGS ELSEWHERE.
