Area forecast discussion, May 19, 3:29 PM CDT, 2 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 329 PM CDT Thu May 19 2022 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 328 PM CDT Thu May 19 2022 The threat for severe winds and perhaps a brief tornado is increasing rapidly across southern Missouri. Will likely continue to move east and possibly accelerate some late this afternoon. Developing MCS associated with an MCV from overnight and early day convection has consolidated into an organized bow echo over the past hour, and is likely already producing a nearly solid area of severe wind gusts and some large hail. Downstream, the air mass continues to become more unstable with temperatures above 80 F and MUCAPE 3000-4000 J/kg. Omega fields are also increasing across southeast MO as the air mass warms. Given the substantial amount of instability, very moist air mass ahead of the system, and favorable time of day...further strengthening is expected, with large swaths of significant wind damage possible. An additional watch will likely be needed farther east across the MS River through southern IL into the EVV Tri State region later this afternoon into this evening as the complex continues to plow east. Rainfree, breezy south to southwest winds 15-25 mph and unseasonably warm temps will follow this system later tonight and Friday. Could see some wind gusts in the 30 to 40 mph range with high temps near 90 in many locations. Warm and moist sw flow aloft will continue into Saturday and Saturday night, as a weak cold front approaches very slowly from the west. This front will bring the next decent chc for at least some scattered showers and thunderstorms, esp by Saturday night. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 328 PM CDT Thu May 19 2022 Shower/thunderstorm chcs will likely continue through much of Sunday, esp over portions of srn IL/wrn KY and sw IN, as a weak frontal system continues to creep slowly through the region within a broad and moist swly flow aloft. May get another break in the precip on Monday as high pressure moves east through the Midwest and southern Great Lakes regions. However, the break looks to be rather brief, as the mid level flow becomes even more southerly, and a deepening short wave digs southeast into the Southern Plains later Tuesday through Thursday. The result could be a rather wet/unsettled period with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms. && .AVIATION... Issued at 110 PM CDT Thu May 19 2022 Expecting a round of strong/severe thunderstorms to move east through the region late this afternoon and early tonight. Highest chances for severe storms with large hail and damaging winds will be over much of se MO (later afternoon) and along/north of the OH River (evening). A tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Expecting VFR conditions generally outside of any convection. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. && SHORT TERM...GM LONG TERM...GM AVIATION...GM
