NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 27, 1:12 PM CST, 11 hours 48 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 112 PM CST SUN NOV 27 2005 .DISCUSSION...(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT) MANIN CHALLENGE WITH THIS PACKAGE WILL BE THE NEXT 24 TO 30 HOURS AS A SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM AFFECTS THE AREA. CENTRAL PLAINS STORM SYSTEM EVOLVING AS EXPECTED. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY DEEPEN AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST TOWARD THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION AND PUSHES A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE CWA TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO REACH OUR WESTERN DOORSTEP AROUND 06Z ...BISECT (N-S) THE AREA AROUND 12Z...AND EXIT THE EASTERN SECTIONS BY 21Z. WIND SHEAR STILL THE SINGLE MOST INFLUENTIAL FACTOR WITH THIS SYSTEM. CAPE AND INSTABILITY CONTINUE TO BE NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE. MODEL 0-3 KM HELICITY VALUES EXTREMELY HIGH (600+ M2/S2) ACROSS THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE CWA AT 06Z...BUT NO DETECTABLE TRIGGER MECHANISM AT THAT TIME WITH THE FRONT SO FAR WEST. IF ANY STORMS DO DEVELOP IN THIS AREA AT THAT TIME... THE POTENTIAL FOR DISCREET AND LONG LIVED SUPERCELLS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT. AS THE FRONT APPROACHES... DIRECTIONAL SHEAR DECREASES AND SPEED SHEAR BECOMES THE MAIN PLAYER. MODELS CRANKING OUT 60-70 KTS AT 850MB AND 135+ KTS AT 250MB. TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE...THE RR QUAD (RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION) OF THE JET MAX IS FORECAST TO BE OVER OF THE AREA BETWEEN 12 AND 18Z. EVEN THOUGH THE FRONTS EASTWARD PROGRESS WILL BE SLOW...INDIVIDUAL STORMS SHOULD BE CRUISING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AROUND 50-60 MPH. THIS COMBINED WITH THE INCREDIBLE LOW TO MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL MAKE DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. IN THE DAY ONE OUTLOOK SPC CURRENTLY HAS A MODERATE RISK OVER OUR TWO WESTERNMOST COUNTIES AND A SLIGHT RISK ELSEWHERE. FEEL THAT THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 06 AND 12Z AND OVER THE EASTERN HALF BETWEEN 12 AND 18Z. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE/CLOUDS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE PULLED ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY...BUT SHOULDNT BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE PRECIP. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN OVERSPREAD THE REGION AND DOMINATE THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE QUAD STATE ON THURSDAY...BUT DUE TO LIMITED MOISTURE...NO PRECIP IS EXPECTED. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN DOMINATE THROUGH FRIDAY. .DISCUSSION...(SATURDAY AND SUNDAY) FOR DAY6 AND DAY7...PCPN CHCS APPEAR TO BE RATHER SCARCE AS THE MID/UPPER FLOW WILL PROBABLY TAKE ON A GENERAL CYCLONIC CURVATURE AND RELATIVELY HIGH SFC PRESSURE WILL BE IN PLACE OVER THE PAH FCST AREA. THE VARIABILITY OF THE MODELS AT THIS RANGE IN THE FCST MAKES TIMING OF ANY S/WVS MOVING THROUGH THE MID LEVEL FLOW TOUGH TO PIN DOWN. LEFT A VERY SMALL CHC OF PCPN IN THROUGH THE END OF THE PACKAGE AS A RESULT. INDICATIONS ARE THAT TEMPS WILL BE BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL LEVELS. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.

NEW MADRID 1238 PM CST SUN NOV 27 2005 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...SOUTHWEST INDIANA...WESTERN KENTUCKY AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. .DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND A HIGH PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK THAT THE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT WILL BECOME SEVERE. BECAUSE OF INCREASING WIND SPEEDS ALOFT...THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS. THESE WIND FIELDS WILL ALSO SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TORNADOES. HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT AND ORGANIZE AS THEY TRACK EAST OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI DURING THE EVENING HOURS. SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST MISSOURI DURING THE ENTIRE NIGHT...WHILE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WILL BE MAINLY AFTER 900 PM. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TRACKING EAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS... SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY ON MONDAY MORNING. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK THAT SOME OF THESE WILL REMAIN SEVERE. THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS. THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL SHIFT TO THE KENTUCKY PENNYRILE BY MONDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE ENDING ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY MONDAY EVENING. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS WESTERN AREAS BY LATE EVENING AND ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. BECAUSE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING AT 55 TO 65 MPH...SPOTTERS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO BE IN PLACE AND ACTIVATED AS SOON AS THUNDERSTORMS MOVE INTO THE COUNTY UPSTREAM. MTF
