AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
445 PM CST SUN JAN 22 2012

A NUMBER OF WEATHER ISSUES TO DEAL WITH OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

AREAS OF DENSE FOG WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONCERN UNTIL COLD FRONT
SWEEPS THROUGH THE REGION LATER THIS EVENING...AS VERY RICH LOW LVL
AIR CONTS TO PUNCH N UP THE MS VALLEY. WILL NOT ISSUE ADVISORY AT
THIS TIME BECAUSE AM NOT SEEING WIDESPREAD VSBYS BELOW 1/4...WITH
MOST RUNNING FROM 1/2 TO 1 1/2 IN SE MO AND SRN MO. WILL NEED TO

THE CENTRAL PLAINS...AND THE DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM BEGIN TO COME
TOGETHER LATE .THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BEGIN THE RAMP UP
QUICKLY EARLY TONIGHT AS SFC DEW POINTS SURGE INTO THE
50S...POSSIBLY TO NEAR 60. THIS...ALONG WITH THE UPPER DYNAMICS AND
COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW...WITH CREATE RAPIDLY
LOWERING OF INSTABILITY. THE COMBINATION OF THE WINDS ALOFT AND
INSURGENCE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SFC PRE FRONTAL TROF MOVING IN
FROM THE WEST WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A POTENTIAL WIDESPREAD SEVERE
WEATHER OUTBREAK. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE HIGHEST THREAT ALONG
THE LINE A BOW SEGMENTS...BUT SFC BASED SUPERCELLS CANNOT BE RULED
OUT THAT COULD PRODUCE A FEW TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL.

MAIN TIME FRAME FOR OUR AREA WILL BE FR OM 01 OR 02Z FAR WEST
/SE/MO/ TO JUST BEFORE OR AFTER MIDNIGHT FROM PAH EAST. FRONT SHOULD
END ALL PRECIP RAPIDLY FROM THE WEST BY MORNING.

SHOULD BE A BREAK IN THE PRECIP  MON AND TUE WITH TEMPS IN THE 40S
AND 50S.

HOWEVER...NEXT IN A SERIES OF SRN BRANCH SHORT WAVES WILL ARRIVE MY
ABOUT THE MID WEEK TIME FRAME. WILL BRING THE NEXT ROUND OF RAIN.

WOULD GET MAINLY RAIN...AS OPPOSED TO STORMS...IN THE COOL SECTOR
NORTH OF THE LOW.
