NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 30, 2:30 AM CST, 6 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 330 AM CDT FRI MAR 30 2007 .DISCUSSION... MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE POPS INTO THE WEEKEND. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING JUST A COUNTY OR SO WEST OF THE AREA IN SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI AT THIS TIME. THEY ARE MOVING NORTH...AND DO NOT POSE ANY IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE AREA THIS MORNING. THERE IS A MINOR DEWPOINT BOUNDARY IN OUR AREA...WITH DRIER AIR BEHIND IT IN THE MVN/EVV/OWB AREAS. NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF CONVERGENCE EXPECTED ON THIS BOUNDARY TODAY...BUT IT COULD STILL BE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION LATER TODAY...IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER. BETTER CHANCE OF CONVECTION IS PROBABLY IN THE WEST CLOSER TO THE MAIN STORM SYSTEM...AS POTENTIAL REMNANT VORTICITY CENTERS FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION...FLIRT WITH OUR AREA. THE NAM AND GFS BOTH DEVELOP PRECIPITATION TODAY...THE GFS IS MORE LIBERAL AND EARLIER THAN THE NAM...NO BIG SURPRISE THERE. GUIDANCE POPS RANGE FROM LIKELY/CATEGORICAL IN THE MAV...TO SLIGHT CHANCES IN THE MET IN MOST LOCATIONS. WILL STAY THE COURSE WITH 40 POPS WEST TAPERING OFF TO 20S IN THE KHOP AREA. STILL SEE LITTLE REASON FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...SAVE A MINOR RIPPLE IN STRENGTHENING SOUTH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. HOWEVER BOTH MODELS DO SPIT OUT A BIT A QPF. POPS WILL LOOK ALOT LIKE TODAYS WITH BEST CHANCES WEST AND SLIGHTS SOUTHEAST. THE 00Z NAM AND GFS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN TRYING TO BRING THE MAIN ROUND OF CONVECTION INTO WESTERN ZONES JUST BEFORE 00Z SUNDAY...AND THEN THROUGH ALL BUT FAR SOUTHEAST ZONES BY 06Z. SEE NO REASON TO BACK OFF THIS SCENARIO NOW...SO BROKE POPS UP INTO 6 HOURLIES SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL HAVE 20-30 POPS AREAWIDE SATURDAY MORNING...BUT THEN WILL HAVE LIKELIES IN WESTERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI IN THE AFTERNOON. WILL HAVE LIKELY FOR MOST OF THE AREA SATURDAY EVENING...AND THEN RAPIDLY CLEAR IT OUT OVERNIGHT...WITH LIKELIES ONLY IN THE KHOP AREA. AS FOR SEVERE...SPC HAS A SLIGHT RISK ACROSS OUR WESTERN HALF FOR LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY EVENING. WIND FIELDS WILL BE PRETTY IMPRESSIVE...BUT STORMS SHOULD BE WEAKENING BEFORE THEY GET TOO FAR INTO THE AREA AFTER 00Z SUNDAY. COULD SEE A FEW STORMS PRODUCE ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...AND CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A BRIEF TORNADO...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON MENTIONING SEVERE IN THE GRIDS OR ZONES AT THIS TIME. WILL ADDRESS IN THE HWO AS USUAL. SUNDAY SHOULD BE SUNNY AND WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTHWESTERLY...AS THE SURFACE SYSTEM PASSES TO OUR WEST AND NORTHWEST. MILD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WHEN ANOTHER POTENTIALLY MORE VIGOROUS COLD FRONT TRIES TO SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA. THE GFS IS STILL ON TRACK WITH THIS FRONT AND POTENTIAL CONVECTION TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. AS FOR SHORT TERM TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY WENT WITH THE WARMER CHOICE OF GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...FIGURING THAT THE MODELS ARE TOO PESSIMISTIC IN THEIR CLOUD FORECASTS. STAYED CLOSE TO CONSENSUS FOR LOWS TONIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. && DRS
