AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
230 PM CDT SAT AUG 25 2001

WILL MAKE THIS BRIEF DUE TO ONGOING WEATHER CONCERNS. PRIMARY
FORECAST CHALLENGE REMAINS THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION THROUGH
SUNDAY.

MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON MOVEMENT OF H50 TROF/VORT LOBE
AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT...AND ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT ON RAIN
CHANCES ALSO. EXPECT SCATTERED STRONG STORMS TO CONTINUE THIS
EVENING AS HEATING IS MAXIMIXED AND WEAK SHORT WAVE BUMPS UP AGAINST
THE REGION. UPPER SUPPORT DIMINISHES OVERNIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT
DROPS SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE OHIO RIVER BY MORNING. WITH MARGINAL
INTEGRATED MOISTURE...WILL HAVE TO INCLUDE SCATTERED
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORMS IN THE VICINITY OF THE SURFACE FRONT. THE FRONT
SHOULD CONTINUE SOUTHEASTWARD SUNDAY. BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE
EARLY NORTH/WEST...AND ALL DAY SOUTH/EAST. NO SEVERE WEATHER
EXPECTED DUE TO LACK OF UPPER SUPPORT AND DIURNAL TIMING OF THE
SYSTEM.

LOOKS HIGH AND DRY FROM MON THROUGH MID WEEK. SECONDARY FRONT
PROGGED BY THE ETA/NGM TO DROP SOUTHWARD INTO THE REGION BY
TUE...BUT NO RETURN FLOW AND LITTLE MOISTURE TO GO WITH IT. RIGHT
NOW WILL GO WITH INCREASED CLOUD COVER...BUT NO PRECIP.

WILL STICK CLOSE TO THE AVN/NGM MOS TEMPS.

.PAH...NONE.

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
1150 AM CDT SAT AUG 25 2001

THIS OUTLOOK COVERS SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...WESTERN KENTUCKY...SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS AND SOUTHWEST INDIANA...AND IS VALID UNTIL 600 AM SUNDAY.

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE QUAD
STATE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
COULD REACH SEVERE LEVELS.

A TROGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDING THROUGH SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ITS WAY SLOWLY EASTWARD
THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED
ALONG THIS BOUNDARY DURING THE MID AND LATE MORNING. AS HEATING
CONTINUES TO THE EAST OF THIS TROF...THE AIR WILL BECOME MORE
UNSTABLE...AND ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. BECAUSE OF
THE VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR...A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD
REACH SEVERE LEVELS...WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS THE MAIN CONCERN.

STORM MOVEMENT WILL BE NORTHEAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH. DUE TO THE SLOW
MOVEMENT OF THE TROUGH...STORMS MAY MOVE REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME
AREA...CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING.

ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY OCCUR OVERNIGHT AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. WITH MOST OF THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
PASSING NORTH OF THE AREA...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN SMALL.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUESTED THIS AFTERNOON OR TONIGHT.
