Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 12:11 PM CDT, 2 hours 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 1211 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 1205 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 Updated aviation section for 18z TAF package. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday night) Issued at 333 AM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 In the very near term, visibilities have dropped to a half mile or less in portions of southeast Illinois, southwest Indiana and northwest Kentucky. Will be issuing a dense fog advisory for these locations. Models show a mid/upper level high centered over the Arklatex region today into the early part of the work week, with broad ridging extending into the upper Mississippi valley and Great Lakes region. At the surface, models show a weak cold front sinking south of the PAH forecast this morning. Light northerly winds behind the front will help keep high temperatures today near seasonal readings in the 87-91 degree range, but unfortunately will not bring down our dew points more than a degree or two. An isolated shower or storm is not completely out of the question today, but the upper level ridge is most likely going to tamp down any convection and will go with a dry forecast for now. The front will lift back north tonight and wash out as surface high pressure settles east of our region. Winds will shift back to the south, and this will bring hotter and more humid air to the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys. High temperatures Monday will reach the lower 90s, and the middle 90s Tuesday, and dew points will climb into the lower to middle 70s. Afternoon heat indices will reach 100 to 105 degrees Monday, and potentially around 105 degrees on Tuesday. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday) Issued at 333 AM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 As we head into midweek, we will remain on the eastern side of an upper level high. Seeing the trends in the forecast for the first part of the week, causes some pause on letting the forecast go totally dry on Wednesday, given the prospects of energy riding around the eastern side of this upper ridge. Currently have some slight chance PoPs in place for Wednesday into Wednesday night in our northeastern sections, which will be near the ring of possible fire on the edge of the upper ridge. The latest operational models do hint at convection diving south across the area mainly Wednesday night across our northeastern to eastern counties. Something to keep an eye on to possibly raise PoPs if we see some consistency and confidence increases. The main issue will be the continued heat, with highs continuing in the lower to mid 90s with heat index values generally in the 100 to 105 degree range. As we head into Thursday and Friday, PoPs will go up a bit due to the increase in moisture from the southeast, as an upper level system develops in the Gulf Coast area and moves westward with time. This southeasterly fetch of moisture even continues into the first part of the weekend. In addition, the upper high begins to break down by the weekend. This moisture combined with possible surface troughs developing in the area along with upper level energy, could yield some scattered convection for the latter part of the week and into the weekend. The good thing is, we should see an increase in cloud cover and with the rain prospects going up a bit, temperatures should not be as blazing hot and will drop a few degrees each day starting on Thursday, which will still be in the low 90s. However, heading into Friday and the weekend, highs should drop back down into the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1205 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 Pesky MVFR cigs have been reluctant to scatter out today, but expecting bases to rise into low VFR territory nearly everywhere by 19-20z. Skies clear out this evening and winds go calm, setting the stage for some IFR/MVFR fog development overnight into the early morning. As the fog dissipates, winds become light southwest tomorrow morning. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None.
