AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 205 AM CDT SUN JUL 22 2001 COVERAGE/DURATION OF POPS CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST...BUT EXTREME HEAT AND HUMIDITY A SERIOUS CONCERN. MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS TO REMAIN ENTRENCHED OVER THE CWA THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. MODELS THIN OUT THE MEAN RH TONIGHT AND MONDAY AND WITH NO APPARENT TRIGGER MECHANISM...WILL MENTION CHC POPS THIS EVENING...THEN DRY OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY. THIS IS REFLECTED IN BOTH FWC/MAV POPS. BY MONDAY NIGHT MOISTURE BEGINS TO POOL UP AHEAD OF A VERY SLOW SOUTHWARD MOVING FRONT. THIS COMBINED WITH THE ADDED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO TOUCH OFF SCATTERED RW/TRW FROM NORTH TO SOUTH MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. MODELS VERY DIFFERENT WITH FRONTAL POSITION AND MOVEMENT. ETA MODEL THE SLOWEST AND AVN THE FASTEST. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE UPPER RIDGE AND LITTLE OR NO SIGN OF IT WEAKENING...DONT EXPECT FRONT TO BREAK ANY LAND SPEED RECORDS ON ITS TREK SOUTH BUT THE ETA IS TYPICALLY TOO SLOW. NGM IN BETWEEN SO WILL LEAN TOWARD ITS SOLUTION AS A COMPROMISE. BEYOND TUESDAY FRONT WILL SUPPOSEDLY MAKE IT HALFWAY ACROSS THE CWA AND STALL OUT IN AN EAST-WEST ORIENTATION. IT APPEARS THAT THE FRONT WILL WAIVER BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWA THROUGH SATURDAY SO WILL KEEP CHC POPS EVERYWHERE THROUGH SATURDAY. BY SUNDAY THE BOUNDARY LIFTS BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT AND THE MEAN RH BEGINS TO DRY OUT SO WILL GO DRY ON SUNDAY. WILL FOLLOW FWC MOS TEMPS CLOSELY. MAV MOS TOO COOL ON TUESDAY DUE TO ITS TIMING OF THE FROPA. THREW OUT A QUICK UPDATE A LITTLE WHILE AGO TO INCLUDE THE EASTERN THIRD OF oTHE CWA IN THE HEAT ADVISORY. THE HEAT INDICES THERE ARE MORE MARGINAL BUT MISERABLE ENOUGH TO WARRANT THE ADVISORY. .PAH...HEAT ADVISORY TODAY THROUGH MONDAY FOR THE ENTIRE CWA. PACKETT

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE QUAD STATE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. ORGANIZED CONVECTION IS NOT EXPECTED SO THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE WIDELY SCATTERED AND POSSIBLE MOST ANYWHERE IN THE AREA. WEAK UPPER LEVEL ENERGY...A SFC TROF...HEAT...AND HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO TAP THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS ENTRENCHED OVER THE REGION THEREBY PRODUCING SCATTERED CONVECTION. SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE REGION AT MIDDAY WILL CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE WITH RE-DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS MINIMAL. GIVEN THE VERTICAL WIND STRUCTURE AND WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT...BRIEF GUSTY WINDS OR THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW WINDS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IF IT DOES OCCUR. STORM MOVEMENT WILL BE GENERALLY TO THE SOUTH AT 15 TO 20 MPH. THIS SLOW MOVEMENT COMBINED WITH DEEP ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE MAKES LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS A CONTINUED THREAT WITH ALL STORMS. SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. JAP
