Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 2, 2:00 PM CST, 7 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 300 PM CDT SUN APR 2 2006 DISCUSSION... SEVERAL ISSUES THIS PACKAGE WITH TIMING OF STORMS...MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER...DRY SLOT MOVING INTO THE REGION...ALL WITHIN THE FIRST 6 HOURS OR SO. BOTH NAM AND GFS ARE VERY SIMILAR WITH THE SYSTEM TODAY/TONIGHT. WARM FRONT CONTS TO LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. AT 18Z...THE WARM FRONT WAS LOCATED NEAR A LINE FROM PERRYVILLE MO TO THE EVV AND OWB AREAS ALONG THE OH RVR. EXPECT WARM FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE CWA BETWEEN BY 21Z. STORMS HAVE REALLY BEGUN TO BLOSSOM ALONG THIS WARM FRONT JUST EAST OF EVV. THESE STORMS ARE FORMING IN STABLE LOW LEVEL ENVIRONMENT...SO SHOULD REMAIN ELEVATED WITH MAIN THREAT BEING HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. 15Z RUC MODEL STILL SUGGESTS A BROKEN SQUALL LINE WILL DEVELOP JUST TO OUR WEST IN SE MO LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND THEN MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT. STABILITY AND WIND FIELDS STILL LOOK SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS AND LINE SEGMENTS WITH DESTRUCTIVE WINDS. ALSO...SFC DEW POINTS ARE ALREADY IN THE LOWER AND MID 60S IN THE WARM SECTOR SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. IN CONTRAST...THE NAM AND GFS KEEP THE SYSTEM RATHER STARVED FOR MOISTURE...WITH MID LVL DRY SLOTTING HELPING TO KEEP CONVECTION TO A MINIMUM. AS OF 1930Z...STLT IMAGES AND AREA WSR-88D RADARS INDICATED STORMS FIRING RAPIDLY OUT NEAR SGF. THUS...HAVE CHOSEN TO DISCREDIT THE LOW MOS POPS FROM THE GFS AND NAM MODELS. WILL CONTINUE WITH FAIRLY HIGH STORM CHANCES THIS EVENING OVER THE ENTIRE REGION...WITH HIGHEST CHCS FURTHER NORTH CLOSER TO THE GREATER MID LEVEL SUPPORT. AS PER SPC DISCUSSION...EXPECT ALL TYPES OF SEVERE WEATHER WITH THIS LINE...ESP DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. COULD ALSO BE A FEW STRONG TORNADOES...ESP IN DISCRETE CELLS AHEAD OF THE LINE...OR BROKEN AREAS WITHIN THE LINE. WILL END ALL PRECIP LATER TONIGHT AS SFC FRONT AND UPPER SHORT WAVE FINALLY MOVE EAST OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...THE MAIN UPPER TROF WILL NOT COME THROUGH THE REGION UNTIL MONDAY MORNING. EXPECT LOW CLOUDS AND MAYBE EVEN SOME SPRINKLES WITH THIS SYSTEM...ESP OVER NORTH/EAST AREAS OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...MOST IF NOT ALL AREAS SHOULD SEE SOME SUN BY LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE FINALLY PUSHES IN FROM THE WEST. LOOK FOR A DRY AND COOLER PERIOD MON/TUE AS THE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS IN. FROST/FREEZE MAY EVEN BE A POSSIBILITY TUE/WED MORNINGS... DEPENDING ON AMOUNT OF WIND MONDAY NIGHT AND THE AMOUNT OF MID CLOUDS TUE NIGHT. NOT A LOT OF CHANGES WITH THE EXTENDED. CONTINUED WITH SLGT CHCS STARTING IN SEMO WED NIGHT WITH INCREASING CHCS THU AND GOOD/BEST CHANCE THURS NGT. CONTINUE LINGERING CHC INTO FRIDAY. FOR THE WEEKEND HAD MAJOR DESCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE 00Z SUN GFS AND THE 06Z SUN DGEX. LEANED TOWARD THE MORE CONSISTENT GFS. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS SPEED AND PLACEMENT OF THE HIGH PRESSURE. THE DGEX PLACES SFC HIGH OVER WEST VA. AND RAPIDLY MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST SUNDAY. THE GFS ON THE OTHER HAND PLACES THE HIGH OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THE WIND DIRECTION IN THE GRIDS. SINCE THE WIND SPEED ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SIGNIFICANT ANY WAY JUST FOLLOWED THE GFS. AS FOR TEMPS MINOR TWEAKS HERE AN THERE MAINLY FOR COLLABORATION PURPOSES. COOLED THINGS DOWN A LITTLE LATE IN THE WEEK AFTER THE LATE WEEK SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH AND INCREASED CLOUD COVER ROUGHLY FROM WED THROUGH FRI AM. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
