AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 340 AM CDT THU APR 13 2006 .DISCUSSION... MAIN CONCERNS FOR THIS FORECAST ARE HOW LONG TO CONTINUE THE MUCH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES...AND POPS/SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS THAT HAD PERSISTED NEAR AN ELEVATED BOUNDARY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PENNYRILE REGION OF WEST KENTUCKY HAVE FINALLY PUSHED EAST OF THE AREA...BUT SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO INDICATE SOME SCATTERED CLOUDS AT 7-8KFT OVER THE SOUTHERN PENNYRILE. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME REDEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA LATER THIS MORNING. THE 12Z GFS CONTINUES TO DEVELOP LIGHT QPF OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON. A LOOK AT SOUNDING DATA FROM THE GFS AND NAM INDICATES THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY OVER ALL BUT THE FAR NORTHEAST ZONES...AS SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS REDEVELOP/STRENGTHEN OVER MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY. WILL DO THE CHA CHA CHA TODAY AND RE-INSERT THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR TSRA/SHRA FOR TODAY...WITH MOST ACTIVITY EXPECTED WITH MAX HEATING THIS AFTERNOON. YESTERDAYS MAXES REACHED THE WARMEST GUIDANCE OR ABOVE...SO WENT NEAR THE WARMER FWC NUMBERS WHICH WERE SUPPORTED BY THE NAM12 MAXT GRID. THIS WILL RESULT IN ABOUT 3-4 DEGREES OF WARMING FROM YESTERDAY...WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY THE GFS 850MB TEMPERATURES WARMING AT LEAST 2C FROM YESTERDAYS LEVELS. THE NAM AND GFS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT A LOW AMPLITUDE MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAINED ANCHORED TO OUR WEST OVER THE PLAINS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THEY ALSO AGREE THAT A SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL SWEEP EASTWARD THURSDAY NIGHT FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS LATE TODAY INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY LATE FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE A NICE PLUME OF STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND DECENT LOW LEVEL WARM MOIST ADVECTION TO HELP GENERATE A NICE SWATH OF CONVECTION THURSDAY NIGHT. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD STAY TO OUR NORTH AND NORTHEAST...BUT HELD ONTO A SLIVER OF 20 POPS IN THE FAR NORTHEAST ZONES...JUST TO BE SAFE. WIND FIELDS DO NOT LOOK AS STRONG AS THOUGHT YESTERDAY...SO AM NOT TERRIBLY CONCERNED WITH THE SEVERE THREAT THURSDAY NIGHT. LOOKING INTO FRIDAY THOUGH...THERE WILL LIKELY BE A SURFACE BOUNDARY LEFT BEHIND FROM THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION TO OUR NORTHEAST...WHICH SHOULD HELP TO FOCUS CONVECTION IN OUR NORTHEAST ZONES IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY FRIDAY. WIND FIELDS WILL BE IMPRESSIVE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A SEVERE THREAT...ALTHOUGH THE STORMS WILL HAVE RATHER HIGH BASES. THEREFORE WOULD EXPECT ONLY HAIL AND WIND THREATS AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...IF THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT BAROCLINIC BOUNDARY IN THE AREA...TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT. INCREASED POPS TO 40 IN THE NORTHEAST AND TRENDED TOWARD NO POPS OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POTENTIAL CONVECTIVE EVENT. THE STORMS WILL MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST...AND COULD LINGER THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY NIGHT. ONE CONCERN IS THE CONTINUED HEAT...AND A POTENTIAL CAPPING INVERSION WHICH WILL FORM A SOUTHWEST BORDER TO ANY CONVECTION. IT IS NOT CERTAIN HOW FAR EAST THE EDGE OF THE BETTER CAP WILL BE AT THIS TIME. THE CAP IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE AREA SATURDAY...AS THE MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE FINALLY BUILDS OVER THE QUAD STATE. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A SUNNY...HOT AND DRY DAY THROUGHOUT THE REGION. CONTINUED TO ERR ON THE HIGH END OF GUIDANCE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. THE GFS AND NAM BRING A BAND OF HIGHER MEAN RH THROUGH THE REGION RAPIDLY SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A DRYLINE OF SORTS WRAPPING INTO A VIGOROUS MID/UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM PASSING EASTWARD WELL NORTH OF OUR AREA. BOTH MODELS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME DEVELOPING ANY QPF WITH THIS BAND BECAUSE OF AN INTENSE CAPPING INVERSION. A STRONG CAP SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN THE SYNOPTIC SITUATION...SO CAN NOT GET TOO EXCITED ABOUT THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WITH THIS SYSTEM. WILL LEAVE THE 20 POPS ALONE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT...AND CONTINUE WITH THE DRY SUNDAY PERIOD...AS ANY ACTIVITY SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA BY 12 SUNDAY. IN THE EXTENDED...TRENDED TEMPERATURES UPWARD TOWARD THE DGEX THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND TOWARD THE NEW 00Z MEX GUIDANCE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST...WHICH IS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH OUR NEIGHBORING OFFICES. THE UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER MAY COME TO AN END WITH A COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH A DECENT SURFACE HIGH ADVERTISED IN ITS WAKE. OF COURSE...SUCH INTENSE FRONTS THIS TIME OF YEAR TYPICALLY RESULT IN A PERIOD SEVERE WEATHER...SO THIS WILL BEAR WATCHING OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
