NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 19, 1:25 PM CST, 10 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 225 PM CDT SAT AUG 19 2006 .DISCUSSION... HAD TO POP A QUICK HEAT ADVISORY THIS AFTERNOON FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...PORTIONS OF WESTERN KENTUCKY AND THE SOUTHERN TIP OF ILLINOIS. SFC DEW POINTS OF 74 TO 79 POOLING ACROSS THE REGION PUSHED THE HEAT INDEX TO AROUND 105 BY 1 PM CDT. WILL CONTINUE THE ADVISORY TIL 6 PM THIS EVENING. MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE THROUGH MONDAY WILL BE WITH PRECIP CHCS. SFC FRONT LATE AT MID AFTERNOON WAS INCHING SOUTH TOWARD THE STL AREA. NOT MUCH THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THUS FAR WITH THE BOUNDARY...DESPITE QUITE UNSTABLE AIR ALONG AND TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT. ALL IN ALL...NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF MID/UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED CONVECTION...BUT STILL A BIT SURPRISED THAT WE ARE NOT SEEING AT LEAST HIT AND MISS STORMS THUS FAR. MODELS DO INDICATE THAT SHORT WAVE ENERGY SHOULD MOVE SOUTH AND EAST INTO THE REGION LATER TONIGHT. THAT...COMBINED WITH WEAK CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 2 INCHES SHOULD RESULT IN AT LEAST SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD ACTUALLY MAKE IT THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY. HOWEVER...GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY BEEN HITTING ON POST FRONTAL PRECIP CHANCES AS ANOTHER MID LEVEL TROF COMES EAST SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. NAM NOW HINTS AT THIS SOLUTION ALSO. INDEED...MUCH OF THE PRECIP WITH THE FRONT SO FAR HAS BEEN POST FRONTAL...SO WILL LEAN IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GFS AND KEEP SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH MONDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTH AND WEST AREAS. HIGH PRESSURE IS STILL FORECAST TO BUILD IN FOR THE TUE THROUGH FRI TIME FRAME...WITH LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPS. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...HEAT ADVISORY THROUGH 6 PM CDT FOR AREAS SOUTHWEST OF A HENDERSON TO CALHOUN LINE. MO...HEAT ADVISORY THROUGH 6 PM CDT FOR ALL ZONES. IL...HEAT ADVISORY THROUGH 6 PM CDT FOR LOCATIONS SOUTH OF A CARBONDALE TO HARRISBURG LINE. IN...NONE. && MEFFERT
