NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 5, 2:55 PM CST, 10 hours 23 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 255 PM CST SAT NOV 5 2005 .DISCUSSION... THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE IMMEDIATE TERM IS THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS...SOME POSSIBLY SEVERE...TONIGHT. LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES A FAST-MOVING SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO CENTRAL KANSAS AS OF MID AFTERNOON. NEAR-RECORD WARMTH HAS HELPED TO BOOST SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON TO MINIMAL LEVELS. IN ADDITION...THE 18Z SOUNDING FROM KSGF DOES INDICATE A SIGNIFICANT CAPPING INVERSION JUST ABOVE 850 MB. THIS INVERSION IS INITIALLY EXPECTED TO INHIBIT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...AS THE UPPER-LEVEL WAVE PUSHES EAST INTO THE MISSOURI OZARKS THIS EVENING...A COOLING MID LEVEL TEMPERATURE PROFILE SHOULD LEAD TO RAPID THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE EASTWARD ADVANCING COLD FRONT. ONCE THE STORMS DEVELOP...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE ACTIVITY GIVEN THE 35 TO 40 KNOT 0-3KM WIND SHEAR FORECAST. A MOST LIKELY SCENARIO WOULD BE FOR SUPERCELL AND MULTICELL DEVELOPMENT AT THE ONSET...WITH THE ENTIRE CONGLOMERATION FOCUSING INTO A FAST- MOVING LINE WITH EMBEDDED BOWING SEGMENTS AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES. WHILE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI... DAMAGING WINDS SHOULD BECOME THE PRIMARY CONCERN OVERNIGHT. GENERAL MOVEMENT WILL BE EAST AT 40 TO 50 MPH. FOR MORE DETAILS ON SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL...PLEASE REFERENCE PRODUCTS FROM THE FOLKS AT SPC. BY 12Z SUNDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL BE EXITING EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA...TAKING ANY LINGERING PRECIPITATION WITH IT. WITH LINGERING MOISTURE IN THE 925-850MB LAYER...SCATTERED CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED BY LATE MORNING...WITH THE BEST COVERAGE OVER SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND ADJACENT AREAS. WINDS WILL ALSO BE A FACTOR BOTH TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH BOTH PERIODS...AND SOME GUSTS NEAR 25 MPH ON SUNDAY. DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST INTO BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS TEMPERATURES MODERATE THROUGH THE PERIOD. THERE IS SOME CONCERN OVER THE POTENTIAL FOR PRECIPITATION MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY FROM THE ONSET OF WARM ADVECTION. HOWEVER...IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL STAY TO OUR NORTH...SO WE WILL KEEP CONDITIONS DRY FOR NOW. A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY DEVELOPS IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST BEYOND TUESDAY. THE 06Z RUNS OF BOTH THE GFS AND NAM INDICATE ANOTHER FRONTAL PASSAGE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THESE MODELS THEN PLACE THE AREA IN A COOL NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH INCREASED CLOUDS ACCOMPANYING THE PASSAGE OF AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND SURFACE FRONT ABOUT FRIDAY. A DRASTIC CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS RUNS...THE 12Z GFS LINGERS THE MID WEEK PRECIP CHANCE INTO THURSDAY...WITH THE REGION IN PREDOMINANT WEST/SOUTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A BETTER CHANCE OF WARM ADVECTION RAINS BY THE END OF THE WEEK. DUE TO THIS LOW CONFIDENCE...WE PREFER TO GO STATUS QUO FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE UNTIL MORE CONSISTENCY BECOMES APPARENT IN THE MODELS. BECAUSE OF THIS...WE WILL TAKE AN AVERAGE OF THE MOS GUIDANCE OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS...WHICH WILL RESULT IN A SLIGHT UPWARD REVISION OF TEMPERATURES LATE INTO THE WEEK AND OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. MOS ALSO LOOKS REASONABLE IN THE SHORT-TERM...AND VERY LITTLE CHANGE TO THE GOING TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS NEEDED. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. &&

WIND SPEEDS IN ALL LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE RATHER STRONG WHEN THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...SO DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. IN ADDITION...THERE IS A SMALL RISK OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. THE COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE EAST OF THE ENTIRE AREA BY ABOUT DAYBREAK SUNDAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
