NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 9:58 AM CST, 3 hours 41 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 1058 AM CDT MON JUN 6 2005 .UPDATE... DESPITE LESS THAN STELLAR EVIDENCE OF CONVECTION OVER THE WEEKEND...I HAVE RAISED POPS ACROSS THE PAH FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON BY SOME 10-15 PERCENT. UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWS MID LEVEL THERMAL TROUGH APPROACHING AREA FROM THE WEST AND A DECENT LOW LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE FROM THE SOUTH. COINCIDENTLY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING TOWARD THE PAH FORECAST AREA FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS. VERY WEAK CAP BETWEEN 800-700 MB SHOULD ERODE QUICKLY BEFORE THE NOON HOUR...WITH CONVECTION FIRING UP ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE PAH FORECAST AREA ALONG THE MO BOOTHEEL EWD ALONG THE TN/WRN KY BORDER. CU ARE ALREADY DEVELOPING IN ZONE OF 1500-2000 J/KG OVER SERN MO INTO EXTREME SW KY SOUTH OF THE CURRENT SHALLOW FRONTAL BOUNDARY INDICATED BY SUBTLE WIND/SFC DEWPOINT BOUNDARY. AT 16Z...CURRENT FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED FROM NEAR LODI AND COMMERCE IN SERN MO...EASTWARD TO KARNAK IL AND ALONG THE WEST KENTUCKY PARKWAY. MAY BE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED WIND GUSTS AT OR ABOVE 40 MPH ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WITH HEAVY RAIN SOUTH. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FROM GOES SOUNDER IMAGERY SUGGEST VALUES OF 1.7 TO 1.9 INCHES IN THE COLUMN. THIS WOULD LEND TO AN EASY THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN IN AN HOUR. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE TO SEE A FEW LOCATIONS WITH WATER PONDING NEAR ROADWAYS THIS AFTERNOON. HAIL MAY ALSO BE A HAZARD...BUT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH FORCING IS CONCENTRATED ALONG THE BOUNDARY. GRIDDED UPDATE ALREADY OUT. TEXT PRODUCTS WILL FOLLOW SOON. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 330 AM CDT MON JUN 6 2005) DISCUSSION... SAME OLD STORY OVERNIGHT...WITH A VOID OF CONVECTION ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA. QUESTION IS...WILL THINGS CHANGE OR WILL THE DRY PATTERN HOLD FIRM THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE UPCOMING WEEK? THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE COLD FRONT THAT TOUCHED OFF THE CONVECTION ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST OVER THE WEEKEND HAS WASHED OUT AS PREDICTED. HOWEVER...IT DID SO WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY NEEDED RELIEF IN THE FORM OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO OUR REGION ON SUNDAY. THIS WAS PARTLY DUE TO A LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT FORCING... AS THE BEST UPPER SUPPORT STAYED WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA. IN ADDITION...WHILE SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY WAS THERE...IT WAS NOT QUITE ENOUGH TO BREAK THROUGH THE WARM MID LEVELS TO PRODUCE EVEN AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. SO NOW AS THE WEEK UNFOLDS...WE/RE LEFT WONDERING WHETHER THE SAME WILL HOLD TRUE...OR WHETHER SOMETHING WILL CHANGE TO AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION. AFTER PONDERING THIS FOR A FEW HOURS...WE HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP SMALL CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. THE REASON IS THAT THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SIGNAL AN INCREASE IN DEEP-LAYERED MOISTURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES...INCLUDING THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...WITH OUR FORECAST AREA ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS AREA. ALSO...00Z SOUNDINGS SHOWED A COOLING OF 850 AND 700 MB MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES OVER WHAT WAS OBSERVED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY EVENINGS. IN ADDITION...MODELS ARE CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE MID SOUTH AND MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. WE THINK THE COMBINATION OF THESE INDIVIDUALLY MINOR ALTERATIONS WILL HELP TO GET AT LEAST ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION GOING EACH DAY...WITH THE BEST CONCENTRATION IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY. SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES SHOULD EXIST OVER OUR KENTUCKY COUNTIES WHERE DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE MORE COPIOUS. WITH THAT SAID...IF WE SEE ANOTHER DRY DAY TODAY...WE MAY NEED TO CONTEMPLATE A SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENT IN OUR FORECAST THINKING TO THE DRY SIDE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. MUCH OF THIS HINGES ON EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TODAY. WE SHALL SEE... GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME...WE CHOSE TO MAKE VERY LITTLE CHANGE TO THE GOING FORECAST...ADJUSTING POPS IN A FEW PERIODS TO BETTER BLEND WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES. WE ALSO ADJUSTED TEMPERATURES UP BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. IN DOING SO...THE GFS MAV GUIDANCE SEEMED TO PROVIDE A GOOD COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE WARMER NGM FWC AND MUCH COOLER ETA/NAM MET NUMBERS. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .KY...NONE. .MO...NONE. .IL...NONE. .IN...NONE. && RJP/SMITH
