AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 216 PM CDT THU AUG 10 2006 .DISCUSSION... PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND THEN AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. A WEAK QUASI-STATIONARY FRONTAL/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT AND FRIDAY ACROSS THE CWA. IN THE MEANTIME A WEAK MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI IS MOVING SLOWLY EAST. WITH A MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE WITH LITTLE TO NO CAP...THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION...SOME OF WHICH COULD BECOME SEVERE THROUGH EARLY EVENING WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREAT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE AS THE STORMS WILL BE MOVING SLOWLY AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE FORECAST GREATER THAN 2 INCHES. LATEST MODEL RUNS STILL DIFFER ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY AT 12Z FRIDAY. THE GFS SHOWS THE BOUNDARY BISECTING THE CWA FROM WEST TO EAST AND THE NAM/WRF HAS IT ROUGHLY ALONG THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF THE CWA. MODELS ALSO BRING AN UPPER-LEVEL SHORT WAVE ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY...RESULTING IN A SOUTHWARD SHIFT OF THE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY 00 UTC SATURDAY. SEE NO REASON NOT TO CONTINUE WITH A GFS SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. AS A RESULT...WE WILL MAINTAIN CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE ENTIRE AREA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY GRADUALLY SINKS SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA. SLIGHTLY COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE TAKES HOLD. YET ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL INFLUENCE THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. GENERALLY WENT WITH A BLEND OF AVAILABLE MOS GUIDANCE DURING THE FIRST 60 HOURS...WITH NO CHANGES BEYOND FRIDAY NIGHT. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
