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. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE.
