AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 200 PM CDT TUE JUN 26 2001 LTL CONVECTION TO REPORT AS OF THE EARLY PM HOURS...BUT ALL MODEL AND EARLY AM MODIFIED SOUNDING INDICATIONS ARE THAT PM SUN WL CREATE MODERATELY UNSTABLE LATE DAY ENVIRONMENT FOR UPPER LOW TO TOUCH OFF AT LEAST SCT CONVECTION. MOVEMENT OF -13C TO -14C H5 COLD POOL OVERHEAD WL STEEPEN MID LVL LAPSE RATES TOO...AND AS VORT ENERGY PINWHEELS AROUND LOW SHOULD SEE UVM FIELD FURTHER EHANCED. SOME STORM INTRO MAY BE PROPAGATING KIND FROM MOST FAVORABLE ZONE JUST TO OUR EAST...BUT OTHER THAN MONITOR OF LATEST RADAR DATA WL NOT TRY TO PICK-CHOOSE AND INSTEAD WL LIKELY PAINT ONE SMALL POP FOR MOST AREA. STRONGER STORMS COULD WELL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR REACHING SVR LIMITS FOR HAIL GIVEN WBZERO HEIGHTS AROUND 9K AND RELATIVELY LOW TROP...REFLECTED IN LATEST DY1. EXPECT LTL STORM MOVEMENT W/WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT ...BUT THIS COULD ENHANCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL...AS SOUNDINGS SHOW FAIRLY HIGH PWS APPROACHING 1.25. DESPITE SOME MODEL DISCREPANCIES ON SPEED OF UPPER LOWS WWARD DRIFT AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE/RESULANT QPF...NET RESULT FOR ZFP WL MEAN CONTINUATION OF LARGELY DIURNAL POPS TIL LOW WASHES OUT LATE IN EXTENDED. HOWEVER AM BECOMING MORE CONCERNED REGARDING POTENTIAL FOR OVERNIGHT LINGERING POPS GIVEN AMPLE MEAN RH AND COLD POOL OVERHEAD...AND WL LIKELY LOWER BUT HANG ON TO A VERY SMALL POP EVEN INTO TONIGHT PTNS OF FCST...AT LEAST 1ST COUPLE OF NIGHTS OF PACKAGE. THIS IS FAIRLY REPRESENTED IN GOING PACKAGE WITH EMPHASIS ON EVENING CHC AND THUS ANTICIPATE JUST MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. LATEST MRF CONTINUES TREND OF WASHING OUT LOW TO THE SW BY SUN AS BROAD UPPR RIDGING DOMINATES MUCH OF CNTL U.S. THIS SHOULD BEGIN DRY WX FCST THAT WL LAST THRU EARLY NEXT WK AS LARGE SURFACE HIGH MOVES SE OUT OF CANADA AND PROVIDES PAH FA WITH DRY TRAJECTORIES AND SEASONALLY PLEASANT TEMPS/DEW POINTS. GUIDANCE NOS CONTINUE THEIR SYNCHRONIZATION SAVE FOR WED HIGHS OF FAN WHICH APPEAR WAY TOO WARM GIVEN PAST SEVERAL DAYS RECORDINGS. WL THEREFORE TAKE FWC/MAV BLEND TRENDING TOWARD COOLER SIDE OF NOS TIL UPR LOW IS OUT OF PICTURE. .PAH...NONE. HUMPHREY
