AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
328 AM CST WED JAN 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A PROLONGED LIGHT TO LOCALLY MODERATE RAIN EVENT WILL CONTINUE
TODAY AND INTO EARLY THURSDAY...AS AN UPPER LOW OVER TEXAS MOVES
INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE ORIENTATION AND PERSISTENCE
OF A DEFORMATION ZONE ACROSS THE WFO PAH FORECAST AREA WILL AID IN
THE PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY OVER ALREADY SATURATED GROUND.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1-1.5 INCHES AREA WIDE SHOULD BE COMMON
BEFORE THE RAIN ENDS LATE THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /NOW THROUGH 9 AM CST/...
ALTHOUGH SATURATION OF THE LAYER SHOULD OCCUR QUITE QUICKLY ALONG
THE MISSOURI/ARKANSAS BORDER COUNTIES BEFORE DAYBREAK...SOME WET-
BULB ISSUES MAY COME PLAY CLOSER TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS...WORKING SOUTHEAST
TOWARD THE I-24/I-57 JUNCTION IN EXTREME SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...THEN
ONWARD TO THE LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A
WINTRY MIX FROM DAYBREAK TO AROUND 9 AM CST IN THIS AREA. ALTHOUGH
PRECIPITATION WILL BE SPOTTY...SOME PAVEMENT TEMPERATURES ARE
ON THE RAZORS EDGE AT OR NEAR THE FREEZING MARK. FOR UNTREATED
ROADS...THIS MAY LEAD TO SOME BRIEF SLICK SPOTS THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF THE MORNING.

WILL ISSUE A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT ON SLICK ROADS THIS MORNING AND
HIGHLIGHT IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AS WELL.

&&

.SHORT TERM/ 9 AM CST TODAY THROUGH 6 PM CST THURSDAY/...

THE TRANSITION FROM A CONSISTENT SIGNAL IN THE MEDIUM RANGE TO A
BONIFIDE HIGH POP EVENT IN THE SHORT TERM APPEARS TO BE AT HAND
WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. ALTHOUGH RAINFALL INTENSITIES WILL NOT
BE HIGH...THE DURATION AND THE PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY WILL BE
HIGH THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...AS SUSTAINED LIFT FROM THE
DEFORMATION ZONE WAFFLES ACROSS THE WFO PAH FORECAST AREA.

THE 21Z TUESDAY/03Z WEDNESDAY SHORT RANGE ENSEMBLE /SREF/ GUIDANCE
AND THE 00Z WEDNESDAY DETERMINISTIC GFS GUIDANCE ARE EERILY
SIMILAR IN THE LOCATION OF THE CLOSED LOW IN TEXAS...THE
ORIENTATION OF THE INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH NOSING INTO THE
SOUTHERN PENNYRILE REGION OF WEST KENTUCKY WITH TIME...AND THE
DEGREE OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY WITH TIME ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
BORDER COUNTIES OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND WESTERN KENTUCKY.

COULD NOT SEE ANY REASON NOT TO CONTINUE GOING CATEGORICAL WITH
POPS/WEATHER FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS /TODAY AND TONIGHT/ FOR THE
ENTIRE WFO PAH FORECAST AREA...TAPERING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST IN
THE SUBSEQUENT 12-18 HOURS /THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY EVENING/.

THE SREF/GFS ARE ALSO IN LINE WITH THE PHASING OF THE EVOLVING
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY CLOSED LOW WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD INTO THE WFO PAH FORECAST
AREA. THE PASSAGE OF THE TROUGH AXIS WILL ALSO SERVE AS THE LINE
OF DEMARCATION FOR RAIN VS. NO RAIN WITH TIME. ADJUSTED
POP/WEATHER FORECAST TO REFLECT THIS TRANSITION ON THURSDAY.

FOR MORE DETAILS ON THE PROJECTED RAINFALL...SEE THE HYDROLOGY
SECTION OF THIS FORECAST DISCUSSION.

THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS A LITTLE MORE BROAD-BRUSHED AT THIS
TIME...OWING TO ANY WARMING ASSOCIATED WITH PRECIPITATION DRAG TO
THE SURFACE AND VARIATIONS WITHIN THE WAVES OF PRECIPITATION.
THERE IS LIKELY TOO MUCH DIURNAL VARIATION IN TEMPERATURES BETWEEN
TODAYS HIGHS AND TONIGHTS LOWS...BUT THIS WILL LIKELY BE ADDRESSED
IN SUBSEQUENT FORECAST PACKAGES.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WEAK SYSTEM IS STILL FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION AFTER
MIDNIGHT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING. A LACK OF MOISTURE AND
WEAK NATURE OF THE SYSTEM WILL LIMIT POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE AT
MOST FOR LIGHT RAIN/SPRINKLES/FLURRIES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
RESULT IN DRY CONDITIONS SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THE
HIGH WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA MONDAY WITH RETURN FLOW FORECAST
TO SET UP. STILL NOT ENOUGH OF A SIGNAL TO WARRANT PRECIP MENTION
MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT. THE MODELS HAVE DIVERGED WITH THEIR SOLUTIONS
FOR TUESDAY. GIVEN THE RATHER MUNDANE LOOK WITH RESPECT TO THE
FEATURES MOVING THROUGH A RELATIVELY ZONAL FLOW...AND LOW CONFIDENCE
MEANS WILL GO NO HIGHER THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TUESDAY AT THIS
TIME. NO PRECIP FORECAST WEDNESDAY. TEMPS IN THE LONGER TERM ARE
FORECAST TO BE ABOVE NORMAL...BEGINNING MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
LIGHT RAIN WILL SPREAD FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION
TODAY...AND CONTINUE TONIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AT THE
ONSET OF PRECIP...THEN COME DOWN AS THE LOW LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
SATURATE. CIGS WILL BE LOW TONIGHT WITH AT LEAST MVFR VSBYS AT TIMES.
MAINLY NORTHEAST/EAST WINDS WILL PERSIST...GENERALLY BELOW 10 KTS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ACCOUNTING FOR THE SPATIAL VARIATION OF THE DEFORMATION ZONE AND
INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH AXIS...AS WELL AS PRECIPITATION
EFFICIENCY...ADJUSTED STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION FOR THE EVENT TO
REFLECT THESE CHANGES.

THE MAY ADJUSTMENT FOR NORTHERN PARTS OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS WAS TO RAISE RAINFALL TOTALS FROM THREE QUARTERS
TO NEAR ONE INCH...AND MODERATE RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM A POPLAR
BLUFF MO...PADUCAH KY...MADISONVILLE KY LINE DOWN ABOUT ONE
QUARTER OF AN INCH FROM THE LAST FORECAST CYCLE. THE BIG QUESTION
WILL BE RAINFALL AMOUNTS SOUTH OF THE POPLAR BLUFF MO-MADISONVILLE
KY LINE. STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS NEAR 1.75 TO LOCALLY 2.00 INCHES
WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION AT THIS TIME...ESPECIALLY IF ANY
ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS ENHANCE PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS.

FOR NOW...THE STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION FOR THE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY
RAIN EVENT SHOULD SERVE AS AT LEAST AN APPROXIMATE BASE FOR
EXPECTED RAINFALL...PLUS OR MINUS ONE-QUARTER INCH. KEPT CLOSE TO
THE NCEP HPC GUIDANCE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE OVERALL POTENTIAL FOR
MINOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER EXTREME SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND THE
PURCHASE AREA OF WEST KENTUCKY.

THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO WITH THIS EVENT WILL BE THAT RUNOFF FROM
THE SATURATED GROUND WILL FEED INTO LOW-LYING AREAS...STREAMS AND
RIVER...LEADING TO A RISE OF WATER LEVELS THROUGHOUT THE EVENT.
THE RISE SHOULD BE GRADUAL...BUT WILL AGGRAVATE FORECAST RIVER
LEVELS IN FLOOD OR ALREADY IN FLOOD. IN ADDITION...THE NORMAL
AREAS THAT SEE FLOODING DURING MINOR RAINFALL EVENTS WILL LIKELY
SEE WATER LEVEL RISES. AT THIS TIME...CANNOT RULE THAT SOME AREAS
MAY SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES
WITH TIME...BUT THAT WILL BE ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. WILL
HIGHLIGHT THE ELEVATED CONCERN IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
AND IN A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT AS WELL.
