AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 335 AM CDT TUE JUL 11 2006 .DISCUSSION... BIG CHALLENGE THIS PACKAGE CONTINUES TO BE PRECIPITATION FORECAST THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. UNSETTLED SEEMS TO BE THE BEST WEATHER WORD THROUGH MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK. VERY DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN ANY SPECIFIC PERIODS WHERE SHOWERS AND STORMS SEEM DEFINITE...AND AT THE SAME TIME ITS VERY HARD TO PICK A 6-12 HOUR PERIOD WHERE WE CAN RULE RAIN OUT. CURRENTLY...WE ARE TRANSITIONING INTO A WARM SECTOR PATTERN WITH A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY PULLING OFF TO THE NORTH THIS MORNING AND ANOTHER TROF OF LOW PRESSURE WELL OFF TO THE WEST OVER KS. WHAT THIS MEANS IS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LOW LEVEL FOCUS FOR PRECIP FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO. PRECIP WILL BE DICTATED BY WEAK MID LEVEL SHORT WAVES TRICKLING THROUGH THE REGION AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AREAS/OUTFLOWS FROM ONGOING CONVECTION. THIS MAKES IT REALLY HARD TO PIN DOWN THE TIMING OF PRECIP. HOWEVER...AIRMASS IS QUITE MOIST AND UNSTABLE...SO PLENTY TO WORK WITH IN THAT RESPECT. REGARDLESS OF TIMING ISSUES...OVERALL PRECIP CHANCES WITHIN ANY 12 HOUR PERIOD LOOK PRETTY GOOD OVER MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK. SFC LOW WILL GRADUALLY WORK INTO IL....AND DRAG SFC BOUNDARY CLOSER TO THE AREA WED/THU...SO WILL NEED TO KEEP RAIN CHCS FAIRLY BEEFED UP. FRIDAY STILL LOOKS LIKE A TRANSITION DAY FROM HIGHER RAIN CHANCES TO LOWER RAIN CHANCES AS AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH. HOWEVER...WITH THE DECREASING PRECIP AND OVERALL CLOUDINESS WILL COME INCREASING HEAT...ESPECIALLY BY THE WEEKEND. COULD SEE HEAT INDEX VALUES APPROACHING 100 FRIDAY...AND 100 TO 105 OVER THE WEEKEND. WILL SHAVE A COUPLE DEGREES OFF THE MOS VALUES TODAY...DUE TO EXPECTED CLOUD COVER. ETA/MET MOS NUMBERS LOOK A TAD TOO WARM TONIGHT WITH UPPER 70S MANY AREAS. WILL STAY CLOSER TO THE MAV NUMBERS WHICH POINT CLOSER TO THE MID 70S. HOWEVER...ANY LOCATION THAT MANAGES TO STAY RAIN FREE COULD ACTUALLY STAY IN THE UPPER 70S. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. && MEFFERT
