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.
