Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 5:30 PM CDT, 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 530 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019 .UPDATE... Issued at 528 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019 The KVWX and KPAH VAD wind profiles showing broad unidirectional flow of 20-40 knots during the past hour or so, supportive of a slow transition to training heavy rainfall thunderstorm activity versus isolated severe hail and winds. Good surface and most unstable CAPE of 4-5000 j/kg2 and GOES Satellite Precipitable Water estimates of 1.7+ inches and unrestricted low level inflow support of high rainfall rates in advance of mid-level shortwave (hinted at in the KPAH VAD wind profile between 8-11kft). Made some overall QPF/PoP adjustments to reflect the transition of the rainfall through the evening hours, as well as make some wording adjustments to text/tabular, and gridded forecast. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Monday) Issued at 114 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019 Atmosphere is very unstable this afternoon. A weak mid level wave/mcv to our west will continue toward the area through the end of the day, possibly enhancing convection. We also see evidence of a boundary from near KEVV back to the west into southern IL from earlier morning convection. Strong to isolated severe storms and heavy rainfall possible as a result. Tonight through Monday, conditions should remain unsettled with a H7/H5 open wave forecast to move toward the area. PoPs overall have been overdone by a considerable amount. We will play middle of the road with Pops and use scattered terminology given the uncertainty regarding clouds and mesoscale influences. Chances should be higher Monday with the approach of the mid level feature. Otherwise rather warm and humid through Monday. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 114 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019 The extended forecast period begins with filling of a southwest MO low/middle level low pressure center and translation of the trough axis through the WFO PAH forecast area from west to east. The movement of this system, combined with weak ridging should diminish PoPs significantly Tuesday and Tuesday night. Selected model guidance has hinted at a diminution of PoPs on Tuesday, but elements of blended and ensemble guidance have masked this subtle change. Plan to heighten the lowered PoP chances for Tuesday. Likewise, nearly all of the medium range guidance continues to maintain higher rain chances for Wednesday into Thursday, associated with a broader scale, lee side of the Rockies, generated trough. This may generate scattered to numerous coverage of convective activity Wednesday night as the gradient of maximum lift, vorticity, and surface convergence comes into play. Beyond Thursday and through at least early Saturday, a more meridional pattern develops. More dominant ridging should serve to suppress thunderstorm chances on Friday and Friday night. With the transition from a zonal to meridional pattern, anticipate some timing difference on rain chances into next weekend. At this point, plan to go with a slower eastward transport (probably closer to the mean 700 mb hemispheric wave speed of 15 knots) of the ridge, leading to a drier Saturday and Sunday. Lowered PoPs during this time period, within collaborative limits with neighboring offices. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1123 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019 Terminal forecasts will be kept simple. Other than VC mention within the first 6 hours, will keep convection out of the TAFs given very low confidence in timing and evolution through Monday. MVFR cigs across the area were more prominent than expected. We expect improvement into the afternoon to VFR conditions. We may see lower cigs reappear late tonight into Monday morning given similar conditions are forecast to exist. SSW winds 10 to 20 kts and gusty will become light SSW tonight through Monday morning. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. && UPDATE...Smith

Locally heavy rain is the primary hazard and may lead to localized flooding. Each afternoon or evening, a strong storm is possible, but perhaps Monday and Wednesday offer the best such chance.
