AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
100 PM CDT SAT JUN 3 2006

.DISCUSSION...

THE PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE SLIGHT RISK THAT HAS BEEN FORCED
SOUTHWARD INTO THE PAH CWA. CURRENT RADAR LOOP INDICATES A COUPLE OF
ECHOES BUT APPEAR VERY SUSPECT...FALSE RETURNS. LATEST MCD MENTIONS
POSSIBLE OR SLGT RISK OVER LARGE PORTION OF THE AREA. THERE IS SOME
MOISTURE IN THE LOW LEVELS BUT DRY AIR ALOFT WILL LIKELY MIX DOWN.
IN FACT THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE DEEP MIXING THROUGH NEARLY
10K FEET.

WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED IN MIND BELIEVE THE RH FORECAST IS FAR TO
MOIST WITH OBS ALREADY INDICATING BELOW FORECAST MIN RH. THIS ALSO
SUPPORTS LACK OF PRECIP. THUS...ANY PRECIP THAT DOES OCCUR WOULD
LIKELY BE REMNANTS OF ORIGIN FARTHER NORTH. NON THE LESS WITH THE
12Z MODEL RUNS IN AGREEMENT THAT QPF WILL ARRIVE THIS EVENING IN THE
FORM OF A DECAYING MCS. OTHERWISE...VERY FEW CHANGES TO EXISTING
GRIDS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MUCH DRIER AIR AND SLGT CHC CWA WIDE
THIS EVENING.

AS FOR TEMPS MOS IN RSNBL AGREEMENT AS NO REASON TO DEVIATE FAR FROM
CURRENT GRIDS.
