AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
244 PM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 133 PM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

A BOUNDARY IS STILL DRAPED ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO RIVER
VALLEY/VICINITY. OUR AIRMASS IS STILL WARM/MUGGY...ESP SOUTH OF
THE BOUNDARY. CONVECTION CONTINUES TO FIRE IN THE PM
HEAT...ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE AS ROBUST IN THE WORKED OVER ENVIRON.
STILL...WITH THE BOUNDARY LINGERING...AND ANOTHER VORT WAVE
INCOMING TONIGHT...AND OUR SATURATED GROUNDS/HIGH PW'S...WILL
LEAVE OUR INHERITED FFA AS IS THRU TONIGHT. ALMOST ANY REPEAT
HEAVY RAINER WILL CAUSE AT MINIMUM AN ADVISORY AND POSSIBLY
NECESSITATE A WARNING.

HIGH PRESSURE DOES BUILD ALOFT ACROSS THE SOUTH AND RETROGRADES
WESTWARD ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY THIS WEEKEND. THIS BACKS OUR
UPPER FLOW TO NWLY AND KEEPS A "DIRTY" CONVECTIVE CHANCE ACROSS
MUCH OF THE FA...ESP THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE FA...SO CHANCES
WILL HAVE TO LINGER INTO THE WEEKEND FOR THE DURATION OF THE SHORT
TERM FORECAST.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

MODELS SHOW AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM MEANDERING OVER
TEXAS THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD, WHICH WILL KEEP THE
MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEYS IN PERSISTENT
NORTHWEST FLOW.  IN ADDITION, MODELS SHOW A SURFACE LOW SLIDING FROM
THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION EARLY IN
THE WEEK.  THIS WILL BRING A COLD FRONT SOUTHEAST INTO THE PAH
FORECAST AREA IN THE LATE TUESDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME.
THESE FACTORS COMBINED WILL KEEP OUR REGION IN A FAIRLY UNSTABLE
PATTERN SUNDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.  SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN OUR NORTHEAST COUNTIES ON SUNDAY, WITH
PRECIPITATION CHANCES SPREADING SLOWLY SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE REST OF
OUR AREA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.  OUR BEST CHANCES WILL LIKELY BE
TUESDAY, BUT FOR NOW KEPT PRECIPITATION CHANCES IN THE CHANCE
CATEGORY AT BEST DUE TO TIMING UNCERTAINTIES.

CONTINUED SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP US WARM AND HUMID SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT.  TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER
90S, WITH AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES IN THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100
DEGREES.  IF THE FRONT MAKES IT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT, WINDS SHOULD
BRIEFLY TURN NORTHWEST, BUT THE FRONT ALSO MAY JUST WASH OUT OVER
US.  IN EITHER CASE, THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE MUCH OF A CHANGE IN
AIR MASS, SO CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN PRETTY WARM AND MUGGY LATE IN
THE WEEK BUT PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BRIEFLY END.
