NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 4, 2:42 AM CST, 9 hours 3 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 342 AM CDT TUE JUL 4 2006 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST ISSUES REMAIN CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND WEDNESDAY. LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER THE ONTARIO PROVINCE OF CANADA...WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. AT THE SURFACE...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS DRAPED FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THE UPPER LOW OVER ONTARIO IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN QUEBEC OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...WHILE THE RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. THIS AMPLIFYING UPPER-LEVEL PATTERN WILL PLACE THE FORECAST AREA IN INCREASING NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH WEDNESDAY. AS RESULT...THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE REGION BY TONIGHT...EVENTUALLY DROPPING SOUTH OF THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. POOLING OF MOISTURE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT COMBINED WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY AND UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL INCREASE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE LOWER OHIO AND MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEYS TODAY AND TONIGHT. WHILE A FEW OF THE STORMS MAY APPROACH SEVERE LEVELS...A WIDESPREAD OUTBREAK IS NOT EXPECTED DUE TO RELATIVELY WARM TEMPERATURES AND WEAK WINDS FIELDS ALOFT. BY WEDNESDAY...THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE GREATEST OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA. THE ACTIVITY SHOULD COME TO AN END BY LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING AS THE FRONT SHIFTS FAR ENOUGH TO OUR SOUTH. DRIER AND COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE STILL EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE NATION OVER THE WEEKEND... RESULTING IN A MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES TO MORE SEASONABLE VALUES. THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION APPEARS TO BE EARLY NEXT WEEK... ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT FORECAST IS DRY BEYOND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT THIS POINT. THIS IS MORE RELEVANT FOR THE NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE. MOS TEMPERATURES WERE FAIRLY SIMILAR AND REASONABLE...SO CONTINUED TO FOLLOW CLOSELY. THIS RESULTED IN LITTLE CHANGE TO GOING FORECAST VALUES. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
