NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 27, 1:50 AM CST, 11 hours 55 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 250 AM CDT THU JUL 27 2006 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO BE PRECIP CHANCES TODAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ONGOING CONVECTION TO OUR NORTH SEEMS TO BE LINKED TO A LOW LEVEL THETA E AXIS ALONG A WEAK BOUNDARY...PLUS SOME DECENT CONVERGENCE AS SOUTHERLY SFC WINDS PLOW INTO THE BOUNDARY. LOOKING FURTHER SOUTH...PRECIPITATION ALREADY MAKING ITS WAY NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN ARKANSAS WITH THE TROPICAL SYSTEM HEADING OUR WAY. BOTH THE 00Z GFS AND NAM IN STILL DIFFER A BIT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN THAT WILL EVOLVE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE DIFFERENCES MAINLY LIE IN THE PRECIP FIELDS. THE MAIN PLAYER SHOULD BE THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IN EASTERN TEXAS...SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHWEST LOUISIANA. AS THIS LOW MOVES NORTHWARD...IT WILL EVENTUALLY MERGE WITH A UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS WHICH IS MOVING EAST TOWARD THE AREA. MEANWHILE...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OFF THE GULF IS USHERING LOTS OF TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE QUAD STATE REGION AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW. THIS INCREASE IN MOISTURE THOUGHOUT THE COLUMN IS BEST SHOWN IN THE TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS...AND MODEL SOUNDING PRECIPITABLE WATERS...WHICH RISE ABOVE 2.00 INCHES BY TONIGHT. SO HEAVY RAINFALL IS A DEFINITE THREAT. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND THESE DISTURBANCES IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN...SEEMS LIKE A GOOD BET FOR PRECIPITATION. THE TRICK WILL BE NARROWING DOWN THE BEST TIME FRAMES AND AREAS OF PRECIP...AS MODELS DIFFER ON THAT ASPECT. BOTH MODELS INDICATE HAVE SHRA/TSRA CREEPING CLOSE TO OUR BORDER FROM THE SOUTH AS EARLY AS THIS MORNING...WHILE ACTIVITY TO THE WEST TRIES TO MOVE TOWARD US AS WELL. MAY WAIT UNTIL PRESS TIME TO DECIDE ON WHETHER TO GO WITH SCATTERED OR CHANCE WORDING...GIVEN LATEST RADAR TRENDS. BY THIS AFTERNOON...THE NAM STILL WANTS TO KEEP SOME UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IN PLACE OVER OUR AREA...AND KEEPS MOST OF THE AREA VOID OF ANY SUBSTANTIAL PRECIP. THE GFS SHOWS A WEAKER RIDGE...AND HENCE INDICATES PRECIPITATION BREAKING OUT ACROSS SOUTHERN SECTIONS. WILL INDICATE BETTER CHANCES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS BUT NOT RAISE POPS TOO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT WE HAVE GOING...AND STAY IN THE 40 TO 50 PCT RANGE...EVEN THOUGH THERE MAY VERY WELL BE LOCATIONS THAT SEE HIGHER COVERAGE. AS FAR AS SEVERE WX...NOT TOO IMPRESSED WITH INSTABILITY PARAMETERS AND SPC HAS LEFT US OUT OF ANY RISK AREA...SO WE SHOULD STAY BELOW SEVERE LEVELS FOR THE MOST PART. HIGHS TODAY SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY OR EVEN A BIT COOLER GIVEN AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER EXPECTED. BY TONIGHT...THE SOUTHERN LOW MERGES WITH THE TROUGH TO OUR WEST. THE NAM CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE UPPER RIDGE IN PLACE OVER MUCH OF OUR AREA WITH THIS LONGWAVE TROUGH TO OUR WEST...WHILE THE GFS SHOWS THE TROUGH RIGHT OVER OUR REGION. BUT EVEN SO...THE GFS DOES NOT GENERATE MUCH PRECIP TONIGHT. THE NAM REALLY REVS UP PRECIP LATER TONIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY...WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN SEMO...AS THE UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE MOVE EAST TOWARD THE AREA. THE GFS SOLUTIONS SEEMS MUDDLED WITH CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK PROBLEMS...BUT DOES INDICATE AN INCREASE IN PRECIP DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY. POP GRIDS FOR TONIGHT AND FRIDAY ACTUALLY SHOW THIS TREND WELL AND SEE NO REASON TO STRAY TO MUCH. BY FRIDAY NIGHT...MODELS SHOW THE POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA...WITH THE GFS/S DEPICTION OF THE H50 HEIGHTS WEAKER AND LESS DEFINED THEN THE NAM. IN ANY EVENT...THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP WILL BE IN OUR EASTERN COUNTIES...EVEN THOUGH THE GFS SHOWS LITTLE TO NO PRECIP FOR FRIDAY NIGHT. ON SATURDAY THINGS GET A LITTLE MESSY...AS THE NAM IS SLOW TO MOVE THE UPPER TROUGH EAST OF THE AREA...AND THE GFS PAINTS A HODGEPODGE OF QPF OVER OUR AREA...AS IT BEGINS TO BUILD AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE INTO OUR AREA. EVEN WITH THE BUILDING HEIGHTS ACROSS THE AREA...DECENT MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY PERSISTS WITH LITTLE CAPPING...SO AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO A POSSIBILITY. SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR SUNDAY...AS THE GFS SHOWS US ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE. BY SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK...WE SHOULD REMAIN DRY EXCEPT FOR THE ISOLATED DIURNAL THUNDERSTORM THAT MAY DEVELOP. WE WILL BEGIN TO WARM BACK UP INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S...WITH HEAT INDICES ONCE AGAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE CENTURY MARK. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD SEEM REASONABLE AND ONLY MADE MINOR TWEAKS. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. &&
