NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 1:23 PM CST, 1 hour 47 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 223 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2001 CHALLENGE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL ONCE AGAIN BE THE AREAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. ARC SHAPED LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORMED ON OUTFLOW BOUNDARY OF RW/TRW THAT DISSIPATED OVER EXTREME WRN KY/SE MO SHOULD CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN ITSELF AS IT MOVES INTO MORE UNSTABLE AIR. TEMPS/DEWPOINTS IN THE WAKE OF THE LINE HAVE DECREASED BUT WITH SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS FEEL THAT BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD RECOVER ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SCATTERED CONVECTION MOST ANYWHERE. MODELS IN AGREEMENT THAT UPPER LOW TO MIGRATE SLOWLY WEST THROUGH 36 TO 48 HOURS. THE COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH IT WILL ALSO MOVE WEST SO BEST CHANCE FOR ANY SEVERE ACTIVITY (MAINLY LARGE HAIL) SHOULD BE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WITH TIME...LAYER (H7-H5) TEMPS AND FREEZING LEVELS SLOWLY RISE THEREBY DECREASING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND INSTABILITIES. THEREFORE WILL GO WITH LOWER CHC POPS FOR THURSDAY. WILL KEEP AN EAST-WEST ZONE SPLIT AND NOT GO ABOVE CHC POPS. FWC/MAV TEMPS SIMILAR SO WILL GO WITH A BLEND. .PAH...NONE.> PACKETT

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT SOME STORMS WILL REACH SEVERE LIMITS. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER EXTREME WESTERN KENTUCKY WILL MIGRATE SLOWLY WEST OVER THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS. COINCIDENT WITH THE LOW IS A COLD POCKET OF AIR ALOFT. THIS COLD POCKET OF AIR ALOFT COMBINED WITH WARM AND MUGGY SURFACE CONDITIONS WILL INCREASE INSTABILITY ACROSS THE QUAD STATE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF THESE INGREDIENTS ALONG WITH ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SCATTERED STORMS TO RE-DEVELOP ANYWHERE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. UPPER LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS VERY WEAK...SO DUE TO THE COLDER AIR ALOFT PRODUCING A RELATIVELY LOW FREEZING LEVEL...THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH STORMS THAT MIGHT REACH SEVERE LIMITS WILL BE LARGE HAIL. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AND WEAK FLOW THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE COULD RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. SPOTTERS SHOULD REMAIN IN AN ALERT STATUS IN CASE ACTIVATION IS NEEDED LATER THIS AFTERNOON. PACKETT
