AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
310 PM CDT SAT JUN 23 2007

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST IS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION
THROUGH SUNDAY.

SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF
OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE...A BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS
DEVELOPED IN THE STL AREA IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF THE WEAK UPPER
DISTURBANCE OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI...AND ANOTHER CLUSTER OF
THUNDERSTORMS IS ADVANCING NORTHEAST OUT OF ARKANSAS. THE SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY OVER THE AREA SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH
SUNSET...BUT AM CONCERNED THAT THE CLUSTER OVER ARKANSAS MAY HOLD
TOGETHER INTO THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE AREA WELL INTO THE
EVENING. THE NORTHERN CLUSTER MAY EVENTUALL TRY TO PUSH INTO OUR
NORTHERN AREAS AS WELL. WILL INCREASE POPS TO LIKELY OVER THE
NORTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA...WITH LOW CHANCE POPS IN THE SOUTHERN
PENNYRILE THROUGH 06Z. WILL TAPER POPS BACK TO CHANCE AREAWIDE AFTER
06Z.

AS THE UPPER DISTURBANCE DRIFTS SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST...IT APPEARS
THAT AT LEAST SOUTHEAST MISSOURI WILL HAVE DECENT COVERAGE OF
THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY SOMETHING LIKE THE
STL AREA THIS AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT...WILL INSERT LIKELY POPS OVER
SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...WITH LESSER CHANCES FURTHER NORTH AND EAST. THE
12Z GFS AND NAM AND THE 09Z SREF DATA ALL SUPPORT THE LIKELY POPS IN
OUR WESTERN ZONES.

DECIDED TO LINGER A SLIGHT CHANCE THROUGHOUT THE AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT...BUT LITTLE MODEL SUPPORT FOR IT...GIVEN RISING HEIGHTS OVER
THE REGION. LOOKING INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THE MODELS ARE A BIT
SLOWER TO DEVELOP THE UPPER RIDGING INTO THE AREA FROM THE
EAST...WHICH ALLOWS FOR SOME QPF OUT OF THE GFS AND SREF. WITH THAT
IN MIND HAVE INSERTED A SLIGHT CHANCE POP FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON.

THE RIDGING SHOULD SUPPRESS ANY CONVECTION OVER THE REGION ON
TUESDAY...SO WILL HAVE ONE DRY DAY IN THE FORECAST. WILL NOT
INCREASE TEMPERATURES ABOVE THE LOWER 90S...AS MOST OF THE WARMING
SEEMS TO BE WELL ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER...AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES.

AS THE COLUMN COOLS A BIT BY WEDNEDAY AFTERNOON...ISOLATED DIURNAL
CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN. THE 12Z GFS/00Z ECMWF/HPC
SOLUTIONS ALL BRING A FRONT SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY OR
THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS SHOULD BRING A DECENT CHANCE OF RAIN...BUT
FRONTS DONT JUST PUSH THROUGH THE AREA THIS TIME OF YEAR. WILL
THEREFORE JUST KEEP 30 POPS GOING. WILL EVEN LINGER A SLIGHT CHANCE
THROUGH FRIDAY...MAINLY IN THE SOUTH WITH THE FRONT JUST SOUTH OF
THE AREA...IF NOT STILL OVER THE AREA.

IF THE FRONT COMES THROUGH...TEMPERATURES BEHIND IT WILL DROP DOWN
TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS...OTHERWISE LOOK FOR HIGHS IN THE ABSENCE OF
WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S...AND LOWS
65 TO 70 THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
MAIN THREAT TO AVIATION OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE THUNDERSTORMS.
THUNDER WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT POSSIBILITY AT KCGI AND KPAH TAF SITES
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS PUSHES
NORTH AND EAST OUT OF NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI.
CANNOT RULE OUT SOME VICINITY THUNDER EVEN UP AT KEVV...BUT MOST OF
THE ACTIVITY TO OUR SOUTHWEST WILL LIKELY GIVE UP BEFORE REACHING
THAT FAR NORTHEAST. THUNDER WILL BE A GOOD POSSIBILITY THROUGHOUT
THE AREA AGAIN SUNDAY MAINLY IN THE LATE MORNING THROUGH MID
AFTERNOON. CLOUDS SHOULD MAINLY BE CONFINED TO CU AND CONVECTIVE
DEBRIS THROUGH THE PERIOD.

.PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
KY...NONE.
MO...NONE.
IL...NONE.
