AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 207 PM CDT THU AUG 25 2005 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE CHANCES OF PRECIP THROUGH SATURDAY...AND THEN AGAIN NEXT MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AS A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LEVEL ENERGY APPROACHES THE CWA FROM THE WEST...AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED OVER APPROXIMATELY THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA IN THE VICINITY OF AN INVERTED TROF. TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING THE AREA WILL BE EXPOSED TO A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES COMBINED WITH DECENT INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE. SYNOPTIC FEATURES DURING THIS PERIOD ARE WEAK AND ILL DEFINED ...CONSEQUENTLY MODEL GUIDANCE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF POPS...QPF...ETC. THEREFORE TRIED TO COME WITH A BLEND OF MODEL GUIDANCE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE REGION. FORCING AND DYNAMIC SUPPORT WITH THIS FEATURE SHOULD TOUCH OFF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY AS IT PROGRESSES TO THE SOUTHEAST. TIMING OF THE FRONT BETWEEN MODELS NOT THAT FAR APART. EXPECT THE FRONT TO ENTER THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE CWA AROUND 06Z SATURDAY...BISECT THE CWA FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST AROUND 12Z SATURDAY...AND CLEAR THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE CWA AROUND 00Z SUNDAY. LATEST MODEL RUNS ALSO CONSISTENT ABOUT MOVING ALL THE PRECIP SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CWA BY 00Z SUNDAY OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER. RATHER THAN TRY TO GET TOO FANCY WITH TIMING THAT FAR OUT...DECIDED TO CLEAR OUT POPS FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD KEEP THE AREA SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRY SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. ON MONDAY THE COMBINATION OF AN INVERTED SURFACE TROF WELL OUT AHEAD OF THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE KATRINA AND AN APPROACHING SHORT WAVE MAY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS MAINLY THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA. THIS SCENARIO WILL CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY. THEREFORE FOR MONDAY... MONDAY NIGHT...AND TUESDAY WILL GO WITH SCHC POPS ACROSS THE AFOREMENTIONED AREA. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD KEEP THE AREA DRY.
