AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 218 PM CDT SAT JUN 30 2001 CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON HAS GENERATED NUMEROUS STORMS OVER SE MISSOURI AND ERN ARKANSAS. SIMILAR TO THE LAST FEW DAYS...THIS CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH QUICKLY THIS EVENING AS THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE STABILIZES. MAIN THREAT WITH THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THESE STORMS WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL. MUCH LIKE THE PAST FEW NIGHTS...PATCHY FOG AND LOW CLOUDS WILL FORM DUE TO HIGH DEW POINTS...LIGHT WINDS...AND CLEAR SKIES. THE MISSOURI CLOSED LOW WILL FINALLY LOSE ITS INFLUENCE ON OUR REGION SUNDAY AS THE MID LEVEL WESTERLIES SHIFT SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL STATES. THIS WILL PUSH A WEAK COLD FRONT SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. GIVEN ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND PLENTY OF INSTABILITY...EXPECT A FEW STORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT. CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT WILL BE WIDELY SCATTERED AT BEST. UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE VERY WEAK...AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS FORECAST TO BE WEAK. STORMS COULD LINGER INTO SUNDAY EVENING ACROSS WEST KENTUCKY. SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY APPEAR QUIET AS DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR ARRIVES...COURTESY OF HIGH PRESSURE CROSSING THE GREAT LAKES. SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER DEW POINTS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN COOLER NIGHTTIME LOWS. EXPECT LITTLE CHANGE IN DAYTIME HIGHS...SINCE 850 TEMPS WILL REMAIN IN THE MIDDLE TEENS. SOUTHWEST RETURN FLOW AROUND THE HIGH WILL INCREASE HEAT AND HUMIDITY LEVELS TUESDAY. FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD...MRF/ECMWF/UKMET ALL INDICATE AN UPPER LOW WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES AROUND MID WEEK. THIS WILL PUSH A STRONGER COLD FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. SINCE THERE ARE STILL TIMING DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS...WILL LEAVE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES IN THE FORECAST FOR BOTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. .PAH...NONE. MY
