AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 100 PM CDT SAT JUN 3 2006 .DISCUSSION... THE PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE SLIGHT RISK THAT HAS BEEN FORCED SOUTHWARD INTO THE PAH CWA. CURRENT RADAR LOOP INDICATES A COUPLE OF ECHOES BUT APPEAR VERY SUSPECT...FALSE RETURNS. LATEST MCD MENTIONS POSSIBLE OR SLGT RISK OVER LARGE PORTION OF THE AREA. THERE IS SOME MOISTURE IN THE LOW LEVELS BUT DRY AIR ALOFT WILL LIKELY MIX DOWN. IN FACT THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE DEEP MIXING THROUGH NEARLY 10K FEET. WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED IN MIND BELIEVE THE RH FORECAST IS FAR TO MOIST WITH OBS ALREADY INDICATING BELOW FORECAST MIN RH. THIS ALSO SUPPORTS LACK OF PRECIP. THUS...ANY PRECIP THAT DOES OCCUR WOULD LIKELY BE REMNANTS OF ORIGIN FARTHER NORTH. NON THE LESS WITH THE 12Z MODEL RUNS IN AGREEMENT THAT QPF WILL ARRIVE THIS EVENING IN THE FORM OF A DECAYING MCS. OTHERWISE...VERY FEW CHANGES TO EXISTING GRIDS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MUCH DRIER AIR AND SLGT CHC CWA WIDE THIS EVENING. AS FOR TEMPS MOS IN RSNBL AGREEMENT AS NO REASON TO DEVIATE FAR FROM CURRENT GRIDS. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. && KH
