AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
155 PM CDT SUN JUN 11 2006

.DISCUSSION...

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH TONIGHT AS A
SURFACE FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.

DIMINISHING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING ACROSS W KY AND SW IN
AT MID AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO A 500MB SHORT WAVE MOVING SOUTHEAST
AND A SOMEWHAT IL DEFINED SURFACE FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS SE MO AND W
KY.

ANOTHER 500MB SHORT WAVE IS IN LINE TO SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA THIS
EVENING AND AT LEAST KEEP THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES ALIVE...INCLUDING A
SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS PER SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK. THIS WAVE SHOULD
EXIT BY AROUND MIDNIGHT AND WITH THE SURFACE FRONT ALSO MOVING SOUTH
INTO AR AND TN SEE LITTLE SUPPORT FOR RAIN MUCH AFTER MIDNIGHT...
EXCEPT POSSIBLY PENNYRILE REGION OF W KY. THEREFORE WILL DROP
PREVIOUS LOW POPS FOR MONDAY AM ACROSS THE SOUTH PART OF THE FA.
BEST ENERGY FROM SHORT WAVE TONIGHT WILL BE EAST AND THEREFORE HAVE
TEMPERED RAIN CHANCES TO THE WEST.

NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OR
SO OF THE WORKWEEK AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS S AND BECOMES
CENTERED OVER THE FA BY WEDNESDAY.  THE RESULT IS A CONTINUED DRY
FORECAST AND BELOW NORMAL HUMIDITIES AND TEMPS AS 1000-500MB
THICKNESS VALUES DROP BELOW 5700M THROUGH MIDWEEK.

DISCUSSED RAIN CHANCES FOR WED-THU TIME FRAME WITH WFOS TO OUR N BUT
OPTED TO KEEP FORECAST DRY FOR NOW UNTIL TIMING AND VALIDITY OF THIS
SYSTEM (SE MOVING 500MB SHORT WAVE) ESTABLISHES ITSELF.

UPPER RIDGE AND HEAT BUILDS EAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AS THE
WEEKEND ARRIVES WHILE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SETS UP OVER THE PLAIN
STATES. WHILE LOW POPS MAY NEED TO BE INTRODUCED SOMETIME LATE IN
THE WEEK OR BY THE WEEKEND AS SURFACE WINDS AGAIN BECOME
SOUTHERLY...BELIEVE CHANCE IS TOO SMALL...AND BETTER TIMING CAN BE
ACHIEVED WITH LATER DATA VS BLANKETING SMALL CHANCES FOR SEVERAL
DAYS.

STRONG MID JUNE SUN THIS WEEK WILL CHALLENGE MOS MAX TEMP GUIDANCE.
WILL GO ABOVE MOS VALUES ON MAX TEMPS BUT HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH LOW
VALUES. THAT SAID ONGOING FORECAST MAX TEMPS LOOK GOOD WHILE MIN
TEMPS WILL BE LOWERED 1 TO 4 DEGREES THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE
WEEK.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN

MISSOURI.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT
ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN KENTUCKY...AS WELL AS EXTREME SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS AND MOST OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. THE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN
IS GENERALLY SOUTH OF A CAPE GIRARDEAU MISSOURI TO OWENSBORO

ANY STORMS THAT BECOME SEVERE. STORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE QUAD STATE
REGION COULD CONTAIN CONTAIN TORRENTIAL RAINS. THIS COULD RESULT
IN LOCALIZED FLOODING NAMELY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE MULTIPLE ROUNDS
OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
MISSOURI AND WESTERN KENTUCKY MONDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...THE
PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS SHOULD MAINTAIN AN ALERT STATUS IN THE EVENT THEIR
ACTIVATION IS REQUESTED THIS AFTERNOON OR TONIGHT.
