Area forecast discussion, Dec 4, 6:46 AM CST, 3 hours 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
646 AM CST SUN DEC 4 2011
.UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR THE 12Z TAF ISSUANCE.
&&
.DISCUSSION.../TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/
AN AREA OF RAIN AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WAS MAKING STEADY PROGRESS
INTO NWRN PARTS OF THE PAH FCST AREA THIS MORNING. SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE...THE FRONT WILL BE KNOCKING ON THE DOOR. THIS INITIAL
BAND OF RAIN WILL PRODUCE MODEST AMOUNTS THROUGH THIS MORNING...
FOR MOST LOCATIONS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...A STIFF SRLY BREEZE WILL
CONTINUE FOR PART OF THE DAY.
GOOD 850 MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE SFC BOUNDARY/TROF PLUS MID
LEVEL ISENTROPIC LIFT AHEAD OF AN IMPULSE IN THE SWRLY MID LEVEL
FLOW WILL TEND TO INCREASE AMOUNTS AND COVERAGE OF RAIN THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION. THIS ENHANCED MOISTURE ARRANGEMENT
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MON. RAIN MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES...AND WILL
BE PROLONGED...THUS WE WILL KEEP THE FLOOD WATCH IN PLACE FOR LOCATIONS
GENERALLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM POPLAR BLUFF MO TO ROCKPORT INDIANA
STARTING THIS MORNING. 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE IN
THIS AREA THROUGH THE EVENT...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS TO THE NW. FLASH
FLOODING IS NOT NECESSARILY EXPECTED DUE TO LACK OF CONVECTIVE
FEATURES /OR LIGHTNING/.
MON EVENING...HEIGHTS WILL START TO LOWER A BIT IN THE SWRLY FLOW ALOFT AS
HIGH SFC PRESSURE BEGINS TO PUSH EWD. THIS SHOULD RAPIDLY DECREASE
THE POPS AND QPF AMOUNTS FROM THE NW OVERNIGHT. THERE MAY BE
ENOUGH COLD AIR INVADING TO GENERATE A LITTLE SLEET IN ADDITION TO
THE RAIN IN THE NWRN HALF OF THE REGION...BUT THIS IS IFFY AT
BEST. BY DAYTIME TUE...THE REGION SHOULD BE COLD/CLOUDY AND MOSTLY
PCPN-FREE EXCEPT PERHAPS FOR SOME NON-MEASURABLE SPRINKLES
GENERATED BY SUBTLE RIPPLES IN THE SWRLY MID LEVEL FLOW.
FOR THE TIME PERIOD TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY... IN THE WAKE
OF THE DEPARTING SYSTEM...COULD SEE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW OVER
THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST SECTIONS OF THE CWA TUESDAY EVENING IN WHATS
LEFT OF THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE.
ON WEDNESDAY A CLOSED H5 LOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MOVE DUE EAST. THIS WILL SERVE TO DRAW DEEP
MOISTURE PREVIOUSLY DISPLACED TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST BACK
NORTHWARD...THE QUESTION BEING HOW FAR WILL THE MOISTURE RETURN
BEFORE THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW. THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN ACTUALLY CRANKS
OUT A BIT OF QPF MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE OHIO RIVER WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER THE GFS/ECMWF SHOW NO HINT OF PRECIP...SO UNTIL
THERE IS A MORE CONSISTENT SIGNAL...WILL LEAVE DRY.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND ZONAL FLOW ALOFT SHOULD KEEP
THE REGION DRY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED
UPPER TROF ARE FORECAST TO CROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY. IN THE
PROCESS THE ECMWF DRAGS A SMALL AREA OF QPF ACROSS THE NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF OUR CWA...BUT THE OTHER MODELS KEEP IT DRY...SO LEFT IT
DRY FOR NOW. THE FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD ONLY SERVE TO USHER IN A
MUCH COLDER AIR MASS FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION...
A NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST ORIENTED BAND OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO
SPREAD EAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. A CONCERN AHEAD OF THE BAND WILL
BE SOUTHEAST WINDS GUSTING WELL OVER 20KTS. WILL LIKELY SEE MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS IN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS.
CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY COME DOWN INTO IFR TERRITORY...GENERALLY
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE REGION IN THE
23-01Z TIMEFRAME. ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE FRONT THERE WILL BE POTENTIAL
GUSTS FROM THE NORTH OVER KCGI/KPAH AND AN EAST NORTHEAST WIND
AT KOWB/KEVV. IT WILL ALSO LEAD TO THE FIRST OF THE TRUE HEAVY
RAINFALL.
