AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY ISSUED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 148 PM CDT WED AUG 10 2005 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)... CURRENT SAT/RADAR IMAGERY SHOWING SCATTERED CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE QUAD SATE AREA. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS BEFORE DYING OFF LATER THIS EVENING AROUND SUNSET. CURRENTLY MOST STATIONS ARE IN THE LOWER 90S. IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL DEAL HOW FAR SOUTH A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL GO AND ITS ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION CHANCES. THERE CONTINUES TO BE DISAGREEMENT WITH THE SHORT RANGE MODELS WITH RESPECT TO THE FRONT. THE NAM RUNS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE FRONT COMING WELL SOUTH INTO THE FA TONIGHT AND THEN SLOWLY MOVING EASTWARD ON THURSDAY. ON THE OTHER HAND...THE GFS KEEPS THE FRONT JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE FA AND THEN SHUNTS IT OFF TO THE EAST. FOR NOW HAVE GONE MORE WITH THE GFS SOLUTION FOR THE SHORT TERM. THIS WILL RESULT IN ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CURRENT FORECAST. FOR TONIGHT...WE PLAN ON KEEPING CHANCE POPS IN AREAS WEST AND NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. CURRENT OVERNIGHT LOWS AROUND 70 LOOK GOOD. FOR THURSDAY HAVE KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE POP IN FOR MUCH OF THE AREA AS SOME VERY ISOLATED CONVECTION MAY TRY TO DEVELOP IN THE HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON. AS THE EAST COAST RIDGE BUILDS SLIGHTLY WESTWARD WE PLAN ON KEEPING FRI/SAT DRY AT THIS POINT. AFTERNOON TEMPS EXPECTED TO TOP OUT IN THE MID 90S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70. .LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)... IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD...MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE AROUND THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME BETTER RAIN CHANCES EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE LATEST LONG TERM MODELS HINT AT SOME INCREASED RIDGING ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC...RESULTING IN A BIT STRONGER TROFFING IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY MONDAY/TUESDAY. WEAK SHORTWAVE AXIS PROGGED TO MOVE INTO THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY BY LATE TUESDAY/WED. CURRENT FCST OF CHANCE POPS LOOKS REASONABLE HERE AND PLAN ON KEEPING CURRENT FCST INTACT. TEMPS IN THE EXTENDED WILL CONTINUE TO BE NEAR OR JUST SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. && MRJ
