Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Paducah KY
617 PM CDT Sat Jun 12 2021

.UPDATE...
Issued at 617 PM CDT Sat Jun 12 2021

The AVIATION section has been updated for the 00Z TAF issuance.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Monday night)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Sat Jun 12 2021

Heat indices from 100 to 105 have been the main story thus far
today. It did not take long for readings to approach 100 degrees
in several areas this morning, and readings have been stifling
ever since.

Most thunderstorm activity thus far this afternoon has been lake
breeze generated in the LBL area to the west and east of the
lakes. CAMS and deterministic GFS/ECMWF in poor agreement on where
additional isolated to scattered storms may develop ahead of a
weak surface front approaching the region as we head into late
afternoon/early evening hours. Some consensus for srn IL/sw
IN...then a southward movement thereafter into the evening.

Rain chances then decrease behind the surface front on Sunday as a
ridge of high pressure bulges eastward into the lower OH Valley.
Should not be as hot behind the front Sunday, but readings will
still likely make it up near near 90 in many locations. Humidity
levels may also be down just a bit.

Next cold front is still slated to arrive mainly on the dry side
Monday as nw flow aloft strengthens. Just does not seem to be much
overall moisture...with little to no upper level support or low
level convergence along the front. The front will serve, however,
to bring cooler and less humid air in to begin the long term
forecast on Tue.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Sat Jun 12 2021

The extended forecast will be dominated by northwest flow in the
upper levels across our area in between ridging across the Rocky
Mountains and downstream troughing over the eastern U.S.

Surface high pressure is depicted to maintain dry conditions Tuesday
through Thursday. Significantly less humid air will also be in place
with dewpoints primarily in the 50s. A weak ripple in the northwest
flow could end up igniting some isolated activity at some point, but
confidence is quite low in that solution at this time.

There is decent model agreement showing a mid level wave riding
along the northern periphery of the western U.S. ridge and diving
southeast into the Midwest/Great Lakes late in the week. Ensemble
probabilities for measurable precipitation are highest Friday night
into Saturday for us. However, glancing at deterministic models and
a few ensemble members suggest showers and storms could return as
early as Friday. For now kept most of Friday dry though.

Temperatures will primarily be in the mid 80s for highs with 60s for
lows. The coolest night looks to be Wednesday night when many areas
could dip into the upper 50s. Friday appears to be the warmest day
of the extended as southwest surface flow returns ahead of the
shortwave trough helping to boost us into the upper 80s.

&&

.AVIATION...
Issued at 617 PM CDT Sat Jun 12 2021

Will be monitoring for convection to roll south into the area
this evening. For now will keep the TAFs VFR and dry tonight. As a
cold front enters the area tonight, cannot rule out some fog or
low ceilings. Guidance is non-committal, but did insert a couple
hours of MVFR ceilings at KPAH in the morning. Could see some
SHRA/TSRA in the KOWB late morning before the front pushes
through, but will leave that out of the forecast for now.
