Area forecast discussion, Jun 10, 1:00 AM CST, 6 hours 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 200 AM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003 LARGE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX SEEN ON IR LOOP OVER SE NEB/NE KS/NW MO/SW IA EARLY THIS MORNING. LEADING EDGE OF STRONG STORMS NEAR ST. JOSEPH MO. THIS ACTIVITY WAS AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE OVER NE NEB. CI FROM CONVECTION SPREADING RAPIDLY SSE INTO OUR FA. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE DAILY CHANCES OF CONVECTION...IN TERMS OF TIMING...AND POPS. 850-300MB THICKNESS PROGS FROM ETA/AVN/NGM SUGGEST A CONTINUED SE MOVEMENT / PROPAGATION OF CONVECTION TO OUR NW. 30 TO 40KT 850MB JET SHOULD CONTINUE TO ADVECT LOW TROP UNSTABLE AIR NORTHWARD INTO SYSTEM...MAINTAINING THE CONVECTION. WHAT STATE THIS CONVECTION WILL BE IN AS IT APPROACHES/REACHES OUR CWA IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN. IT COULD UNDERGO SOME WEAKENING AS IT SHIFTS EAST OF MAIN JET AXIS. AND IF IT DOES THAT...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR BOUNDARIES FROM OUTFLOW TO SET UP ACROSS THE FA...WHICH COULD BECOME THE FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING. SO...ZONES WILL BE PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD FOR TODAY...EITHER HIGH CHANCE OR LIKELY POPS...MUCH LIKE WHAT THE PREVIOUS SHIFT HAD. TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRICKY AS A RESULT. WITHOUT MUCH CONFIDENCE...BEST BET IS TO BE SAFE AND STICK CLOSE TO GUIDANCE AND PREVIOUS FCST NUMBERS. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...IT MAY BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO DEFINE EXACT SURFACE FRONTAL POSITIONING. LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE...THE ETA/AVN/NGM SUGGEST THAT...VIA PRESSURE FIELDS...THE FRONT WILL REMAIN JUST NORTH OF THE FA. HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE CONSIDERABLE CONTAMINATION WITH CONVECTION AND OUTFLOWS. THE QUASI ZONAL TO WSW FLOW WILL CONTINUE...WITH SEVERAL EMBEDDED MID LEVEL S/WVS AND ASSOC SFC REFLECTIONS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE FA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THUS...WE CONTINUE WITH A DAILY CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. AS FAR AS TEMPS...PREVIOUS SHIFT NUMBERS LINED UP PRETTY WELL WITH NEW GUIDANCE. FWC MAY BE A LITTLE TOO WARM ON WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY IF THE ETA VERIFIES. .PAH...NONE. NOLES
