AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 445 PM CDT WED JUN 7 2006 .DISCUSSION... AS CAPE VALUES APPROACHED 3000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON JUST AHEAD OF A DEWPOINT/WIND SHIFT LINE...VIGOROUS CONVECTION ERUPTED IN THE NERN QUADRANT OF THE PAH FORECAST AREA IN THE FORM OF SEVERE HAIL STORMS. A SVR TSTM WATCH WAS IN EFFECT UNTIL 02Z FOR THE ERN THIRD...HOWEVER OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS THE 700 MB SHORTWAVE /ALONG WITH THE SFC FEATURE/ SHOULD BE MOSTLY THROUGH THE AREA...AND WRN PARTS OF THE WATCH WILL PROBABLY BE WITTLED AWAY. WE SHOULD HAVE CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHT NRLY WINDS LATER THIS EVENING IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. THIS WILL BE THE START OF A BRIEF RAIN FREE INTERVAL UNDER DEEP NWRLY FLOW. NRN STREAM MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE ENERGY IS PROGGED TO IMPINGE ON A LARGE SFC HIGH PRESSURE AREA OVER THE SRN PLAINS AND EVENTUALLY FLATTEN IT SOME DURING THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL SET UP A BAROCLINIC ZONE/FRONT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. CHANCES OF TSTMS WILL RETURN FRI NIGHT...STARTING IN THE FAR NORTH...AND SHOULD GRADUALLY MIGRATE SWD THROUGH SAT NIGHT. ECMWF/CANADIAN GLOBAL MODELS DON/T SEEM TO DEPICT THE ZONE MOVING AS FAR SOUTH AS THE GFS SAYS. HOWEVER...TO FIT IN BETTER WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES...AND FOR FORECAST PERSISTENCE SAKE...WE KEPT THE POPS GOING THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH A GRADUAL LETUP FROM THE SW INTO THE NEW WEEK. MID LEVEL BUNDLES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY...WITH SOME UNCERTAINTIES AS TO LOCATION...WILL KEEP A SMALL MAINLY DIURNAL POP IN THE FORECAST THROUGH DAY7. IN THE NEAR TERM...MET GUIDANCE HAD A BETTER IDEA OF CURRENT DEWPOINTS...THOUGH TEMPS GOT AWAY FROM GUIDANCE THIS AFTN. GAVE THE MET MORE WEIGHT IN THE NEAR TERM...THEN A COMBO OF FORECAST PERSISTENCE AND AVAILABLE GUIDANCE. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. && DB
