AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
303 PM CST MON DEC 5 2011

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY/...

UPPER LEVEL WAVE LIFTING NE ACROSS ARKANSAS WAS APPROACHING THE
REGION AT 19Z. THE PASSAGE OF THE WAVE SHOULD RESULT IN THE END
OF THE 30 OR SO HOURS OF HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE REGION. JUST ENOUGH
COLD AIR MADE IT INTO THE OZARK FOOTHILL REGION OF SOUTHEAST
MISSOURI TO RESULT IN MIXED WINTRY PRECIP. HOWEVER WITH TEMPS
NEAR 32...NO PROBLEMS REPORTED YET...JUST A THIN ACCUMULATION
ON ELEVATED SURFACES. CHALLENGE FOR TONIGHT IS WHAT TO DO WITH
POPS. WITH DEEP LAYER MOISTURE SHIFTING TO OUR NORTHEAST...FOCUS
WILL TURN TO LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE. USING THE 1000-700MB LAYER
WE PROJECT SOME RATHER LIGHT PRECIP COULD PERSIST AT TIMES
OVERNIGHT. MOSTLY VERY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE AS AN UNSETTLED
SW FLOW ALOFT PERSISTS. AGAIN...ACROSS THE FAR WEST AND NORTHWEST
COUNTIES OF THE FA...CANNOT RULE OUT A LIGHT MIX. BUT DO NOT
ANTICIPATED ANY REAL PROBLEMS WITH TEMPS HOLDING NEARLY STEADY
NEAR 32F. WILL MONITOR.

TUESDAY NIGHT...H10/7 MOISTURE MOVES OUT OF THE AREA...SO WILL
CARRY A DRY FORECAST. CUT OFF LOW FORECAST TO TAKE SHAPE OVER
OKLAHOMA AND MOVE EAST TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD
STAY TO OUR SOUTH. HOWEVER WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CLOSELY OUR
FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WEST KENTUCKY NEAR
THE TN BORDER WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...FOR POSSIBLE
LOW / SLIGHT CHANCE POPS.

HAD TO LOWER TEMPS A COUPLE OF DEGREES IN THE VERY SHORT
TERM. OTHERWISE...USED A BLEND OF BIAS CORRECTED GRIDS AND
NAM/GFS MOS FOR TEMPS OVER THE NEXT 3 DAYS.

.LONG TERM /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK....MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS ARE IN FAIRY AGREEMENT THAT A POTENT COLD FRONT WILL
SLIP SOUTHEAST INTO THE MID MS VALLEY THU/THU NIGHT TIME FRAME.
HOWEVER...RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE MOISTURE WILL
REMAIN NORTH OF OUR FORECAST AREAS...ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONGER
MID LVL TROF. THERE JUST DOES NOT TO SEEM TO BE MUCH CONVERGENCE
ALONG THE FRONT...AND VERY LITTLE...IF ANY LOW LVL MOISTURE
RETURN FROM THE SOUTH. THUS...WILL BRING THE FRONT THROUGH RAIN
FREE. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW SPRINKLES.

THE MAIN AFFECT OF THE THE COLD FRONT WIL BE TO USHER IN SOME
OF THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON AS HIGH PRESSURE SINKS SOUTHEAST
FROM CANADIAN RIGHT OVER THE REGION BY SAT MORNING. LOOK FOR LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE 20 TO 25 DEGREE RANGE SAT MORNING....WITH
HIGHS SAT ONLY IN THE 30S...DESPITE FULL SUNSHINE. SAT NIGHT/SUN
MORNING MAY BE JUST AS COLD...ESP OVER SW IN /WRN KY. SHOULD BE
SOME RETURN FLOW BEGINNING ON THE BACK SIDE OF TH HIGH OVER N/W
HALF OF THE REGION SAT NIGHT...BUT IT WILL STILL BE CHILLY.

AS SLY WINDS BECOME MORE ESTABLISHED EARLY NEXT WEEK...SHOULD
SEE MODEST WARMING TREND AT THAT TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...
UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING AN END TO THE RAIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS IS REFLECTED
IN UPDATED TAFS. CIGS WILL HOVER CLOSE TO THE MVFR/IFR CIG
CATEGORIES TONIGHT...THOUGH A TREND TOWARD LOW END MVFR APPEARS
POSSIBLE. WILL CONTINUE WITH A 6SM BR TO HINT AT THE POSSIBILITY
THAT LIGHT PRECIP OR MIST/DRIZZLE COULD HAPPEN OVERNIGHT AS
THE LOW LEVELS REMAIN MOIST...AND THE UPPER LEVELS REMAIN
UNSETTLED IN A SW FLOW PATTERN. NORTH WINDS WILL PERSIST...WITH
SOME GUSTS POSSIBLE INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

&&

.PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
KY...FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 6 PM CST THIS EVENING FOR CHRISTIAN-DAVIESS-
     HENDERSON-HOPKINS-MCLEAN-MUHLENBERG-TODD-UNION KY-WEBSTER.
