Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 1:42 AM CST, 11 hours 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 242 AM CDT THU JUN 21 2001 THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL TODAY. AT 0530Z...KPAH 88-D SHOWING SCATTERED TS/SHRA MOVING NORTHEAST ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF A KPOF-KPAH-KEVV LINE. THE POSITION OF THIS PRECIPITATION WAS COINCIDENT TO A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE CWFA. WV AND LTG DISPLAY INDICATED A MORE DEFINED AREA OF CONVECTION FROM THE TEXAS PANHANDLE NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI. UPSTREAM OF THIS FEATURE WAS YET ANOTHER VORT CENTER CENTERED OVER NORTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA. COMPARISON OF THE VARIOUS 21/00Z MODEL OUTPUT FOR THE PROGRESSION OF 5H VORT MOTION WITH THE WV SAT PIX THROUGH 21/06Z REVEALS THE NGM DOING A SLIGHTLY BETTER JOB OVER THE ETA...WITH THE AVN THE LEAST ON TRACK. GIVEN THIS WILL FAVOR THE NGM SOLUTION THE GREATEST FOR THE TIMING/PATH OF UPPER LEVEL FEATURES. TS/SHRA CONTINUE TO LOOK PROMISING FOR TODAY WITH THE CONTINUED PLACEMENT OF THE SURFACE FRONT OVER THE AREA AND TWO UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS TAKING AIM ON THE REGION. THE WEAKER OF THE TWO IS SCHEDULED FOR AN EARLY MORNING ARRIVAL PASSING PRIMARILY OVER NORTHERN PORTION OF THE AREA. THE SECOND LOOKS TO HAVE A LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING ARRIVAL TIME. THIS STRONGER FEATURE WILL HELP PUSH THE SURFACE FRONT SOUTHEAST AS A COLD FRONT AND INVITE ORGANIZED CONVECTION POSSIBLY IN THE FORM OF A SQUALL LINE ACROSS PRIMARILY THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWFA. LATEST FFG FOR THE CWFA SUGGESTS NORTHERN PARTS OF THE CWFA...IN PARTICULAR MY INDIANA COUNTIES AND THOSE OF KY AND IL WHICH BORDER THE OHIO AND WABASH RIVERS RESPECTIVELY...HAVE THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING WITH 1 HR VALUES AS LOW AS 0.6 IN/HR WITH 1.2 IN/HR AS A MEAN. 6 HR FFG VALUES RANGE FROM ROUGHLY 1.5 TO 2.5 INCHES...AGAIN SOME OF THE LOWEST IN MY CWFA. HEADING SOUTH AND WEST OF THIS LOCATION...BOTH 1 AND 6 HR VALUES INCREASE. WITH POTENTIALLY TWO SIGNIFICANT BOUTS OF PRECIP POSSIBLE IN THIS AREA TODAY...CONSIDERING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HERE. TONIGHT CONVECTION LOOKS TO CLEAR THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST WITH A DECREASE IN CLOUD COVER AS WELL. FOR FRIDAY...BOTH THE AVN AND NGM SUGGEST A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SPIRAL SOUTH AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW AND TRACK ACROSS IL/IN/KY BY THE LATE AFTERNOON BRINGING THE CHANCE OF SMALL POPS OVER THE NORTHEAST AND EASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. FOR NOW...WILL NOT GO WILD OVER THIS POSSIBILITY...AND ONLY INTRODUCE VERY SMALL CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS. FOR TEMPERATURES...TODAY WARMEST READINGS SHOULD BE SOUTHEAST WHERE PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE LEAST AND SUN CHANCES GREATEST. COOLEST READINGS SHOULD BE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT WHERE CLOUDS AND PRECIP WILL BE MOST LIKELY. TONIGHT...CURRENT AIRMASS /DEW PTS MID-UPPER 50S/ OVER IOWA AND EASTERN NEBRASKA SHOULD ADVECT INTO AT LEAST WESTERN AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. THIS REGION WILL GO WITH LOWS IN THE 55 TO 60 DEGREE RANGE WITH AROUND 60 ELSEWHERE. FRIDAY WARMEST READINGS SHOULD BE IN THE WEST WHERE SUNSHINE WILL BE MOST ABUNDANT. WITH MODEL CONSENSUS 85H TEMPS AROUND 11C ACROSS THE CWFA...HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S SEEM REASONABLE. WITH MORE CLOUDS AND SMALL POPS POSSIBLE NORTHEAST AND EAST...WILL GO WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS IN THIS LOCALE. WILL MAKE NO CHANGES TO EXTENDED PACKAGE GIVEN LIMITED NEW DATA 3 AVAILABLE ON MID-SHIFT. .PAH...FFA TODAY ILZ077-078-083-INZ081-082-085>088-KYZ018-019. SLEIGHTER
