AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 411 PM CDT TUE SEP 13 2005 .DISCUSSION... A BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE RECENT DRY WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AS THE BASE OF A VERY LOW AMPLITUDE WESTERLY FLOW MOVES INTO THE WFO PAH FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING AND INTO WEDNESDAY. GOES SATELLITE SOUNDING PARAMETERS FOR LIFTED INDEX AND INTEGRATED PRECIPITABLE WATER THIS AFTERNOON SHOWING SHARP GRADIENT OF INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE POISED JUST WEST OF THE PAH FORECAST AREA. THE 7.0-7.4 MICRON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SUGGESTS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN CLOUD LAYER MOISTURE...WHICH IS IN LINE WITH THE 12Z TUE 850-700 MB UPPER AIR CHARTS THIS MORNING. RUC AND GFS SHORT TERM PROGS SUGGEST A SHARP INCREASE IN 850 MB WINDS AFTER 10 PM THIS EVENING. THE INFLUX OF MOISTURE WITH THE LLJ SHOULD ENHANCE INSTABILITY AND LIFT ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...LEADING TO AN INCREASE IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES OVER THE PAH FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE BLOOMFIELD PROFILER IS SHOWING A LITTLE SHEAR FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH 700MB THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE WINDS SHOULD BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL...LIMITING SIGNIFICANT SHEAR FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE CONVECTION OVERNIGHT. I TEND TO AGREE WITH SPC ASSESSMENT ON THE SOUTHERN LIMIT OF THE SLIGHT RISK AREA...AS BOUYANCY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR DIMINISH SHARPLY OVER IL/KY. I CANNOT RULE OUT STORMS APPROACHING SEVERE LEVELS IN SERN MO/SWRN IL. AS PERIODIC IMPULSES MOVE ALONG BASE OF WESTERLIES ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...KEEPING A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST AREA...AS THE COLD FRONT STALLS OUT. A STRONGER SHORTWAVE OVER KS IS PROGGED TO MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS THE LOWER OH VALLEY THURSDAY NIGHT...TAKING THE FOCUSED LIFT AND INSTABILITY EASTWARD WITH IT. AT THIS TIME...I AM FAVORING THE GFS SOLUTION FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES. DRY CONDITIONS AND COOLER WEATHER SHOULD PREVAIL FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...WITH A GRADUAL RISE IN TEMPERATURES INTO NEXT WEEK AS A WEAK RIDGE IS PROGGED TO SETTLE ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY BY MONDAY. ANOTHER SERIES OF LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVES ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ALONG THE BASE OF THE WESTERLIES...NORTH OF THE LOWER MS VALLEY RIDGE LATE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. GIVEN THE FORECAST UNCERTAINTY AND TRAJECTORY OF THE FLOW FROM THE EASTERN PACIFIC THROUGH THE DESERT SW AND CENTRAL PLAINS...KEPT CHANCES OF RAIN OUT OF THE FORECAST EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHERN COUNTIES ON MONDAY. KEPT CLOSE TO OR SLIGHTLY AOBVE GFS MOS FOR MAX TEMPS...AND A LITTLE LOWER THAN GFS FOR MINS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WEEKEND. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE.
