$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 5, 7:42 AM CDT, 4 hours 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 7:42 AM CDT, 4 hours 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 742 AM CDT Wed Apr 5 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 739 AM CDT Wed Apr 5 2017 For aviation section. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night) Issued at 321 AM CDT Wed Apr 5 2017 Still looks as though areas east of the MS River will need to be monitored this afternoon for the possibility of severe thunderstorm development. A rather complex pattern is underway early this morning, with convection moving east across southern IL and a left over outflow boundary moving east ahead of the storms and stretching from southern IL down into wrn KY/TN. This convection is expected to decay this morning as a surface trof begins to shift east into se MO. Will be interesting to see how quickly the air mass can recover along the mid MS River Valley before the trof moves through that region late morning/midday. Confidence is fairly low with this scenario. Confidence is a bit higher that our far eastern areas may develop instability early this afternoon ahead of the surface feature. Highly sheared environment will likely be in place as a mid level trof pushes east toward the MS River. If storms can get going before the surface trof moves through our eastern counties, there is a fairly high chance we could see some discrete super cells develop, with the possibility of all gammits of severe, including a risk of an isolated tornado or two. Higher severe/tornado threats will lie just east of our area later this afternoon. Chilly Canadian high pressure will then move east into the region as we move into the latter part of the work week. Thursday looks cloudy, windy and chilly as a secondary short wave rotates southeast around the main H50 trof axis. Think models are too rapid to get rid of cloud cover and hence too warm with max temps Thu afternoon. Very common model bias with a "wrap around" cloud environment. Believe the GFS MOS is at least 5-8 degrees too warm. I-64 region may not get out of the mid 40s with other locations struggling to reach 50 or so. Clearing should finally occur Thu night/Fri as the sfc high moves in closer to the region. Next concern will lie with patchy frost possibility Friday night as the high pressure ridge moves overhead. Hover, with the center of the high expected to pass to our south, we may keep just enough wind stirred up to preclude frost development. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 354 AM CDT Wed Apr 5 2017 Long term will start off dry with high pressure drifting off to our east Saturday. This will allow for things to begin to warm up as winds eventually become more southerly and increase. May end up seeing some warm advection cloudiness Saturday, but do not think we will see any precip out of them at this time. Bigger warm up should come Sunday, with more in the way of sunshine and afternoon temps back into the mid 70s. Next cold front will be moving southeast toward the Ohio Valley as we head into early next week. Will begin to bring lower shower/thunderstorm chances back in for Monday, in the warm sector, but chcs will increase dramatically Tuesday as the moves actually moves into the forecast area. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1151 PM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017 With the approach and passage of a front, except for possible MVFR conditions along with isolated to scattered TSRA, mainly afternoon east of the Mississippi River VFR conditions should prevail through mid afternoon outside of thunderstorms, then MVFR cigs will move in tonight behind a strong cold front. Variable winds AOB 5 knots early will become southwest with gusts up to 25-30 knots. In the wake of the front tonight, winds will veer around to the northwest remain gusty. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None.

Higher chances will exist from the Pennyrile region of western Kentucky northward into adjacent portions of southwest Indiana and the Wabash River Valley of southeast Illinois. Damaging wind gusts, hail and even an isolated tornado or two are all possible. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday There will be a chance for some scattered frost Friday night over many locations east of the Mississippi River if surface winds manage to go calm. Thunderstorm chances return Monday and especially next Tuesday. Some severe storms cannot be ruled out, but lightning and heavy rainfall seem more likely at this time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters should be prepared to activate this afternoon over western Kentucky, southwest Indiana and southern Illinois.
