AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 240 PM CDT FRI JUN 24 2005 .DISCUSSION... TEMPERATURES AND THE CHANCES FOR PRECIP NEXT WEEK CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PACKAGE. LOOKING AT 12Z UPPER AIR CHARTS...A BROAD MID LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHED FROM NORTHERN MEXICO...THROUGH THE SOUTH CENTRAL PLAINS...THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE APPALACHIAN MTNS. THE CENTER OF THIS HIGH APPEARS TO BE OVER MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS. TAKING A LOOK AT H85 TEMPS FROM THIS MORNINGS RAOBS INDICATE VERY WARM TEMPERATURES...RANGING FROM 17 TO 20 DEG C ACROSS OUR AREA...THAT HAVE BEEN STEADILY INCREASING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. 12Z NAM H850 TEMPS LINE UP VERY WELL WITH 12Z RAOB DATA AND SHOW THE WARMEST AIR IN OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES AND EVEN FURTHER NORTHWEST...INTO CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST IL. SO THIS SHOULD BE ONE OF OUR WARMEST DAYS YET THIS YEAR...ESPECIALLY FOR RESIDENTS IN SEMO AND SOUTHWEST. CURRENTLY...TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S (WITH MVN OUR HOTTEST SPOT AT 97 DEG)...WITH HEAT INDICES IN THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100. TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY WILL BE MUCH LIKE TODAY...AS H85 TEMPS REMAIN AROUND 19 OR 20 DEG C ACCORDING TO THE NAM. THE GFS IS SLIGHTLY COOLER...AS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. FOR SUNDAY...THE 12Z NAM MAINTAINS SIMILAR H850 TEMPS AS SATURDAY...BUT THE GFS INDICATES A MORE OF A DROP. THE PROBLEMS LIES IN WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW DOWN IN FLORIDA. THE ETA KEEPS THE MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS IN PLACE OVER THE AREA...WHICH PREVENTS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW FROM MAKING ANY NORTHWARD PROGRESS OVER THE WEEKEND...HENCE HIGHER HEIGHTS AND WARMER TEMPS. THE GFS TAKES THE UPPER LEVEL LOW NORTH INTO MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA BY SATURDAY NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY...WHICH WILL TEND TO LOWER H50 HEIGHTS A BIT. BUT TAKING A LOOK AT THE NEWEST GFS GUIDANCE NUMBERS...ONLY WEST KENTUCKY NUMBERS ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER FOR SUNDAY. SO WILL HEDGE A TAD COOLER THERE BUT KEEP TEMPERATURES PRETTY SIMILAR FOR SAT AND SUN. DEWPOINTS SHOULD REMAIN MAINLY IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...PROVIDING PEAK HEAT INDICES IN THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100. WILL PROBABLY HIGHLIGHT IT IN THE ZONES AS WE DID WITH THE UPDATE THIS AFTERNOON AND MENTION AROUND 100 SINCE MANY STATIONS HAD HEAT INDICES OF 98 TO 100 ALREADY TODAY. AT THE SFC...A COLD FRONT STRETCHED FROM THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES...DOWN INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS MORNING...WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE OUR CWA. BOTH MODELS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THIS FRONT SHOULD SLIDE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT AND BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY ON SATURDAY WELL TO OUR NORTH. THE WEAK FRONT THEN MEANDERS SOUTH A BIT ON SUNDAY BUT STILL WILL REMAIN JUST TO OUR NORTH. IF ANYONE HAS A CHANCE OF SEEING ANY PRECIP WITH THIS SCENARIO...IT WOULD BE NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. DEFINITELY COULD SEE SOMETHING UP THAT WAY...BUT WILL WAIT IT OUT AND SEE JUST WHERE EXACTLY THIS FRONT SETS UP. AS FOR THE LONG RANGE PERIOD FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...THE UPPER AIR PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO FLATTEN OUT...RESULTING IN NEARLY ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY BY TUESDAY. THE FLOW ACROSS THE QUAD STATE WILL BE WEAK UNTIL THURSDAY OR FRIDAY...WHEN HEIGHTS LOWER A BIT IN RESPONSE TO A TROUGH PUSHING EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. THE 12Z GFS FITS THE EXISTING POP FORECAST PRETTY WELL...COMMENCING ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ...MAINLY IN EASTERN AREAS...TUESDAY. THIS MAKES SENSE WITH SOME INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND LESS WARM AIR ALOFT. STILL NOT LOOKING FOR WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAINFALL...BUT SOME RELIEF FROM THE DRY SPELL WILL BE POSSIBLE IN A FEW LUCKY LOCALES. THE DIURNAL CHANCES WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WILL CONTINUE...AS A PATHETIC COLD FRONT TRIES TO SLIDE THROUGH THE REGION...WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PUSHING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. THERE IS NOT A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN THE FRONTAL TIMING/LOCATION...SO DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN A SLIGHT CHANCE AT THIS TIME. AFTER A HOT WEEKEND...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BACK OFF A FEW DEGREES FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK...AS THE UPPER RIDGE WEAKENS. TEMPERATURES MAY EVEN DROP TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS IN THE UPPER 80S NEXT FRIDAY...IF THE FRONT MAKES IT THROUGH THE REGION. .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .KY...NONE. .MO...NONE. .IL...NONE. .IN...NONE. && WIELGOS/DRS
