AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 142 PM CDT MON AUG 14 2006 .DISCUSSION... AIRMASS CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. ONE MINOR WAVE CONTINUES TO CARRY ISOLD CONVECTION ACROSS SW INDIANA AND THE PENNYRILE REGION. FURTHER WEST...NOT MUCH IS HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK. HOWEVER CAPES ARE EXPECTED TO TOP OUT AROUND 2500 WITH LI/S APPROACHING -8...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SE MO. IT IS HARD TO PICK OUT THE FRONT. BUT...NO MATTER WHERE THE FRONT IS...BOTH THE GFS AND WRF AGREE THAT THE BEST CHANCE OF CONVECTION SHOULD BE FROM 00Z-06Z ACROSS THE FA...WITH THE CHANCE SHIFTING EAST AND SOUTH WITH TIME AFTER MIDNIGHT. SPC REMOVED US FROM A SLIGHT RISK AREA THIS MORNING. THAT DOES NOT SEEM UNREASONABLE. BUT...WE WOULD NOT RULE OUT ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DUE TO THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY. AS WARM AS THE COLUMN IS...WIND SHOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT. WILL HOLD ON TO A SLIGHT CHANCE POP OVER THE PENNYRILE TUESDAY MORNING AS THE MODELS ARE A SHADE SLOWER DEPARTING CLOUDS AND LINGERING QPF BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE CONTROL OF OUR WEATHER TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. WEATHER CONDITIONS SHOULD BE DRY AND SEASONABLY WARM...WITH LOWER HUMIDITY. LOWS MAY FALL INTO THE UPPER 50S SOME AREAS. CONFIDENCE IN THE LONG RANGE PORTION OF THE FORECAST IS RATHER LOW. THE NEW GFS IS A MIRROR OPPOSITE OF WHAT HPC MANUAL PROGS AND GRAPHICS FOR DAYS 3-7 ARE SHOWING. SURROUNDING OFFICES ARE LINGERING LOW CHANCE POPS NEARLY EVERY PERIOD BEYOND SATURDAY. WHILE THIS MAY BE OVERKILL...FOR COLLABORATIVE PURPOSES WILL MESH WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR OUR AREA AS WELL. WE SUPPOSE IT IS POSSIBLE...ESP IF THE 12Z GFS IS RIGHT. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. &&
