Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 2:46 PM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 246 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Monday night) Issued at 246 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 Most of the area is dry and quite hot and humid. Boundary was from near KFWC to KEHR, with strong to severe convection up across central IL moving southeast. Convection continues across the KY Pennyrile area as well. Airmass very unstable. However ML CIN just now eroded. Best storm chances will be across north and east sections (EVV Tristate, southern IL), with little if any chance west into southeast MO through the evening hours. Storms could once again produce severe downbursts and marginally severe hail. Very heavy rainfall in a short amount of time is likely with stronger storms. Evolution is still somewhat uncertain. The trend is our friend, based on Sat and Radar, as CAM's continue to be borderline useless, depending on which one you pick from the last 24 hours. Convection should taper off overnight. Lull Monday as well, though small chances exist SEMO and the KEVV Tri-state. Marginal day two is awful big. But any storms that do form could produce strong wind gusts and marginally severe hail. Small chances continue EVV Tristate Monday night. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 246 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 Models continue to have a front that will shift back and forth across the region through the extended forecast. GFS and ECMWF show the front north of the PAH forecast area at 12z Tuesday, then along the Ohio River into northern Arkansas by 18z Wednesday. Models indicate the front will eventually shift just north of our area by Friday, but then drop back southwest for the weekend. This basically keeps us in an unstable weather pattern, with on and off shower and thunderstorm chances. The best chances will be the daytime hours into the early evening, but kept overnight low chances going in areas close to where the front is expected to be located. It will remain hot and humid through the period. Predominantly south winds will continue to pump warm moist air into the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys. Though the front may dip far enough south to shift our winds to the north in our northern half of counties at times, the air mass north of the front will only be a degree or two cooler and less humid. Highs will generally be around 90 degrees, with lows of 69 to 73 degrees. Dew points will remain around 70 degrees to the lower 70s, which will push afternoon heat indices to around 100 degrees in some locations. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 VFR conditions save for areas of convection through this evening. Best chances will be east of the MS River. Will have a VC mention at KEVV and KOWB for later this afternoon and evening. SSW winds will gust 15 to 20 kts at times til sunset. Behind morning convection over SE IL, SW IN, SE winds behind outflow will eventually become SSW. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. &&
