AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 355 PM CDT FRI JUL 14 2006 .DISCUSSION... VISIBLE SATELLITE PICTURES CLEARLY INDICATED A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTEX SPINNING OVER SERN MO AND MOVING SLOWLY EAST. IT WAS RIGHT ON A MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROF AXIS. TSTMS DEVELOPED ON THE FRONT EDGE OF THE MCV AND MERGED INTO A GIGANTIC CLUSTER OF STORMS WITH FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAIN NEAR THE MS RIVER THIS AFTN. IN THE WARM AND VERY MOIST AIRMASS...TSTMS ALSO DEVELOPED ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS SRN IL AND SWRN IND. DUE TO MARGINALLY FAVORABLE WIND FIELDS AND INSTABILITY...SVR POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE SHORTWAVE TROF SWEEPS THRU THE FOUR STATE REGION. AFTER MIDNIGHT...CHANCES OF PCPN WILL DROP NOTICEABLY...AND SHOULD BE OUT OF THE PAH FCST AREA BY 12Z SAT. TEMPS ON SAT WILL PROBABLY BE CAPPED IN THE MAINLY IN THE LOWER 90S AS SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR FILTERS IN ON NRLY WINDS BEHIND THE LATEST SHORTWAVE. HEAT INDICIES MAY STILL GET ABOVE 100 IN SOME PLACES DURING THE WEEKEND. AFTER THAT HOWEVER...ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE SHOULD RECOVER...ALBEIT NOT QUITE TO THE RECENT POST RAIN LEVELS. A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO KEEP THE FCST DRY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. THE OPERATIONAL GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW A LONGWAVE TROF LOWERING HEIGHTS OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS...AND GENERATES GULF RETURN FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM AS A RESULT. THE GFS ENSEMBLES SHOW A HINT OF THIS. MEANWHILE...OTHER MED RANGE GUIDANCE...MOST NOTABLY THE ECMWF...INDICATED THAT THE HEAT DOME/RIDGE WILL STAY IN PLACE THRU DAY7. THUS THE LATTER PART OF THE FCST PACKAGE WILL REPRESENT A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND THE GFS ENSEMBLES...WITH MORE WEIGHT GIVEN THE THE ECMWF. THIS MEANS THAT DEWPOINTS MAY REMAIN IN THE LOWER 70S IN MOST PLACES...AND THUS TEMPS MAY NOT GO QUITE AS HIGH AS MAV/MET GUIDANCE INDICATES. IT WILL BE OPPRESSIVELY HOT NEXT WEEK THOUGH. HEAT INDICIES MAY REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA THEN. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. && DB
