Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 3:00 AM CST, 6 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 400 AM CDT WED JUN 8 2005 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST ISSUE REMAINS DAILY CHANCE FOR PRECIP RIGHT INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. CONVECTION THAT FIRED UP OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AHEAD OF WEAK MID-LEVEL WAVE HAS ALMOST COMPLETELY DISSIPATED...LEAVING BEHIND REMNANT CLOUD COVER OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS. MEANWHILE...THE REST OF THE AREA WAS MAINLY CLEAR EARLY THIS MORNING. THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DAY...THE MID LEVEL VORT IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY PROGRESS EAST ACROSS THE REGION. AS TEMPERATURES AGAIN SOAR TO NEAR 90...THE VORT SHOULD ACT ON AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...WITH BETTER CHANCES OVER SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE ENOUGH DRYING ELSEWHERE TO KEEP IN ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE MENTION BY AFTERNOON. MESOETA FORECAST BRINGS ANOTHER MID-LEVEL VORT INTO THE NORTHWESTERN HALF OF THE REGION THIS EVENING...SO WE HAVE INCREASED POPS TO CHANCE CATEGORY OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND MUCH OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. STILL BELIEVE THAT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WILL BE RELATIVELY DRY AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...MODELS STILL INDICATE AN OVERALL INCREASE IN DEEP MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION. THE GENERAL UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL BECOME SOMEWHAT MORE AMPLIFIED...PLACING THE AREA IN DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW. FOR THIS REASON...WE SEE NO REASON TO ARGUE WITH GOING POPS AT THIS TIME. BY THE WEEKEND...THINGS COULD GET INTERESTING AS MODELS CARRY A DEVELOPING TROPICAL SYSTEM NORTH INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE GFS IS MUCH FASTER AT DOING SO...AND ACCORDING TO TPC DISCUSSION...A SLOWER SOLUTION IS PREFERRED AT THIS TIME. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO OUR REGION IS THAT THE MODELS STRENGTHEN THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER OUR REGION. SUBSIDENCE NORTH OF SUCH A TROPICAL SYSTEM MAY ACTUALLY HELP TO INHIBIT CONVECTION LOCALLY...BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FINE-TUNED AS WE DRAW CLOSER. WITH REGARD TO TEMPERATURES...WE GENERALLY RELIED ON THE GFS MAV GUIDANCE DURING THE DAY...WHICH COMPROMISES THE COOLER ETA/NAM MET AND WARMER NGM FWC MOS. AT NIGHT...WE STAYED A FEW DEGREES BELOW THE GFS MAV...WHICH IS MORE IN LINE WITH ETA/NAM MET AND NGM FWC MOS. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .KY...NONE. .MO...NONE. .IL...NONE. .IN...NONE. && RJP
