Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 2:46 AM CDT, 8 hours 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 246 AM CDT WED JUL 6 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night) Issued at 135 AM CDT Wed Jul 6 2016 MCS will be developing/storms becoming more numerous in vicinity of current activity from Ncntrl IL back into across srn IA/nrn MO early this morning. It will be diving southeastward and its remnants or outflows potentially will be flirting with our northern CWA border by 12Z this morning. Said outflows/boundaries should touch off scattered convection for us this morning, particularly across the north and east, where models track decaying system. Then, said outflows/boundaries should reignite activity during the daytime heating ptn of the day, and this may be across our central and southern counties. We'll therefore carry and translate mid to high chance cat pops across the area today. This includes SWODY1 slgt risk svr. across mainly our northern half of the area, where the boundary should settle and help stimulate/focus some more aggressive updrafts "during the heat of the daytime", as the outlook states. Another wave/associated convection makes a dive southward across the area late Wed night-early Thursday, and its outflow/boundary could also focus some daytime convection later Thursday. So a similar scenario for Thursday, although upper heights are starting to rise in our south/west, in response to the broader ridge aloft. Our best chance for stronger storms/additional coverage comes Friday pm/evening, when a front dives south out of the zonal westerlies that make passage across the Great Lakes and nudge into the Ohio valley. It'll break the ridge down a bit, and activate diurnal convection along the boundary. With some dynamical energy, these storms will have perhaps the best chance for damaging wind gust potential, in addition to the heavy rain/lightning producers. Heat Index will exceed 100 today, and may approach 105 briefly in isolated locales. A slightly better chance of reaching or exceeding 105 for the area occurs Thursday and Friday afternoons, and thus will be monitored closely if it necessitates headline/advisory posting. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 244 AM CDT Wed Jul 6 2016 Models show a frontal boundary meandering near or just south of the PAH forecast area through the weekend into early next week. GFS is farther north and more robust with QPF amounts than the ECMWF, and the Canadian implies more diurnally driven chances. Overall this set up will keep the best shower and thunderstorm chances focused across our southern half of counties Saturday through Monday, with just slight chances for our northeast counties. Kept probabilities in the chance category or lower for now until we see a little better model agreement. Temperatures will be near seasonal through this period with highs around 90 degrees and lows around 70 degrees. For Monday night into Tuesday, models show the front lifting northeast across our region, which should give us a little more uniform shower and thunderstorms chances. Again, kept probabilities in the chance category for now due to potential timing concerns and fairly light QPF amounts. The front lifting north will also result in slightly higher temperatures and dew points for Tuesday. && .AVIATION... Issued at 135 AM CDT Wed Jul 6 2016 Patchy pre dawn fog may restrict vsbys on occasion, but should burn off quickly after sunrise. Decaying late night MCS associated convection will dive toward terminals early today, but will bargain chip SCT-BKN MVFR bases and refrain from specific convection mention at this writing, potentially adding vicinity convection mention on the 12Z package. && .PAH Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. &&
