Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Paducah KY
302 PM CDT FRI AUG 5 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Sunday night)
Issued at 234 PM CDT Fri Aug 5 2016

Thunderstorms continue to fire this PM along old outflow boundary
that was laid out by overnight convection off to our north.
Torrential rainfall with PWATs running up close to 2 inches and
nearly continuous deadly lightning have been the main thunderstorm
hazards thus far. Still thinking that lack of shear and weak mid
lvl lapse rates should preclude a big severe threat, tho an
isolated storm or two may pulse to severe levels. DCAPEs running
in the 1000-1300 J/KG range over western KY could aid in localized
damaging wind gusts so will need to monitor into the early
evening.

Cold front will then slip south through the region during the
night. Scattered shower/thunder chances will then linger on
Saturday in a moist, post-frontal environment, mainly over
the southern third or so of the forecast area, as the front
begins continues slowly south through the TN Valley. Extensive
clouds and light a northerly breeze should bring welcome relief
from the excessive heat. We may actually see surface dewpoints
fall back into the 60s by the time Sunday rolls around. Sunday
looks to be the "pick day" of the weekend with lower humidity, very
temps in the 80s and little if any chance for showers.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Friday)
Issued at 234 PM CDT Fri Aug 5 2016

Models continue to show the frontal system remaining just southwest
of the PAH forecast area early next week.  This will keep any shower
and thunderstorm activity focused in southeast Missouri and to the
west and south.  Daytime heating should be the main trigger, so kept
any pops out of the night time periods.  By Wednesday, the remnants
of the front will try to lift northeast, and this will keep our
region unstable.  We will see a little better chances of showers and
storms across the entire region Wednesday through Friday, with small
chances even continuing into the overnight hours.

Conditions will remain a bit milder on Monday with highs in the
upper 80s and dew points in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees.
Warmer and more humid air will begin filtering back into the area on
Tuesday, with heat indices near 100 degrees possible in southeast
Missouri.  The entire region will see heat indices around 100
degrees by Wednesday, and these values will be common in the
afternoons through the end of the week. Overnight lows will be
around 70 degrees Monday night, and in the lower to middle 70s the
rest of the week.

.AVIATION...
Issued at 255 PM CDT Fri Aug 5 2016

With the approach of a front today, sct thunderstorm activity

locations until placement becomes more established. Front will
pass through the region tonight and turn winds more northerly by
12z Sat.
