AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
248 PM CDT SAT SEP 1 2012
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 218 PM CDT SAT SEP 1 2012
THE CENTER OF FORMER HURRICAN ISAAC IS LOCATED OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI
AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING AND IS FINALLY ON THE MOVE EASTWARD...
ALBEIT VERY SLOWLY. IN THE PROCESS...PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL ARE
EXPECTED OVER THE QUAD STATE REGION...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
AS EXPECTED...DRY SLOT WORKING NORTHEAST INTO THE WESTERN SECTIONS
OF OUR CWA WHERE NEW CONVECTION HAS BEGUN TO DEVELOP IN THE MORE
UNSTABLE AIR. CURENT THINKING IS THAT A BROAD AREA/LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE DRY SLOT...PRODUCING A LARGE
SWATH OF HEAVY RAINFALL /1.5-2 INCHES/ THAT WILL PUSH SLOWLY
EASTWARD FROM SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS INTO
SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND MUCH OF WEST KENTUCKY THROUGH THE NIGHT.
CONTINUED TO GO WITH STRAIGHT HPC QPF FOR TONIGHT.
THE FOCUS FOR MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WILL SHIFT TO THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE AREA FOR SUNDAY...WITH THE HEAVIER RAINS TAPERING OFF
TOWARD MIDDAY AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO ADDRESS
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL VIA A HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK...AND STILL FEEL THAT
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE UNNECESSARY. THE HEAVIEST RAINS
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY WILL FALL OVER AREAS THAT HAVE NOT RECEIVED
MUCH RAINFALL YET...AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE HEAVY RAINS
BASED ON THE LATEST FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE.
RAIN CHANCES...QPF...ETC WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH FROM WEST TO
EAST MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS THE TROPICAL MOISTURE WRAPPING
AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF ISAAC WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE.
.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 218 PM CDT SAT SEP 1 2012
MODELS WANT TO TAKE THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC AND MOVE THEM SOUTHEAST
TOWARD THE SYSTEM NEAR FLORIDA. ZONAL FLOW WILL BECOME MORE
AMPLIFIED AS WE HEAD TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. MODELS ARE IN
REASONABLE AGREEMENT UNTIL FRIDAY.
THE UPPER LOW JUST NORTH OF WASHINGTON STATE IS FORECAST TO MOVE
EAST INTO SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA. AS THIS HAPPENS A STRONG SHORTWAVE
WILL SWING DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN U.S. BY THURSDAY AND WILL BEGIN TO
AFFECT THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY BY FRIDAY. HOW MUCH DEPENDS UPON WHICH
MODEL YOU CHOOSE. DECIDED TO HOLD OFF MOST OF THE RAIN UNTIL NEXT
SATURDAY.
UNTIL THAT SYSTEM GETS HERE LATER IN THE WEEK...THE MOISTURE FROM
ISAAC WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA WITH DEW POINTS REMAINING HIGH AND
ON-OFF LOW CHANCES FOR STORMS AT JUST ABOUT ANY TIME. VERY DIFFICULT
TO TIME ANY REAL TRIGGERS.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 218 PM CDT SAT SEP 1 2012
VERY COMPLEX WEATHER PATTERN FOR THIS PERIOD. MVFR TO VFR
CONDITIONS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO BEGIN TO IMPACT KCGI BY 21Z...KPAH BY 00Z...KEVV/KOWB AROUND
06Z. BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDER IS THE FIRST 3 HOURS. AS ISAAC MOVES
EAST EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS TO MOVE INTO KCGI AND KPAH AROUND 06Z
WITH LIGHT SHOWERS. HEAVIER SHOWERS RETURN AFTER 12Z TO KCGI AND
KPAH WHILE SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED NEAR KEVV AND KOWB.
