AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 327 AM CST TUE JAN 16 2007 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLURRIES TODAY. WITH AN OTHERWISE UNEVENTFUL WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS... TEMPERATURES WILL PROVIDE THE GREATEST SHORT-TERM CHALLENGE. EARLY THIS MORNING...HIGH CLOUDS CONTINUED TO STREAM OVERHEAD COURTESY OF SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. IN THE LOWER LEVELS...LINGERING 925 MB MOISTURE KEPT OVERCAST CONDITIONS IN PLACE. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND A MOSAIC OF DOPPLER RADARS FROM ACROSS THE REGION INDICATED SCATTERED SNOW FLURRY ACTIVITY UPSTREAM OVER A LARGE PART OF INDIANA...ILLINOIS...AND EASTERN MISSOURI. GIVEN UNSTABLE FORECAST SOUNDING PROFILES AND THE NAM12 DEPICTION OF WEAK ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE IN THE MOISTURE-BEARING LAYER TODAY...WILL INTRODUCE A CHANCE OF FLURRIES OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA. THE ADVECTION OF DRIER AIR FROM THE WEST SHOULD LIMIT ANY FLURRY ACTIVITY TO AREAS EAST OF A CARBONDALE TO HOPKINSVILLE LINE THIS MORNING...WITH ANY LINGERING FLURRIES TAPERING OFF OVER EASTERN SECTIONS THIS AFTERNOON. WITH ABUNDANT CLOUDINESS AND THE PRESENCE OF COLD AIR ADVECTION TODAY...TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO CLIMB EXCEPT IN LOCATIONS WHERE THE SUN BREAKS OUT FOR A FEW HOURS THIS AFTERNOON. FOR THIS REASON...THE COOLER FWC GUIDANCE IS PREFERRED OVER THE MUCH WARMER MAV/MET. WILL STICK WITH THE FWC TONIGHT AS CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS SET THE STAGE FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. ON WEDNESDAY...THE MAV REMAINS TOO WARM DESPITE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHEAST WINDS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE DEPARTING HIGH. WILL GO WITH A BLEND OF FWC AND MET VALUES WEDNESDAY. THE WARMER MAV/MET SHOULD WORK WELL WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS CLOUDS AND WINDS INCREASE AHEAD OF THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM. WENT WITH BLEND OF AVAILABLE MOS GUIDANCE ON THURSDAY. THE THURSDAY SYSTEM WILL BE STARVED OF MOISTURE AND ACCOMPANIED BY WEAK LIFT...SO NOTHING MORE THAN AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS...A WIND SHIFT...AND A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR IS EXPECTED. DRY WEATHER WILL CARRY OVER INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO INFLUENCE THE REGION BY SUNDAY. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS AS THOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR A WINTRY MIX. LATEST GUIDANCE BRINGS THE SYSTEM IN A BIT FASTER THAN PRIOR MODELS...WITH A WEIGHTING TOWARDS THE FROZEN VARIETY. HOWEVER...WILL KEEP GOING FORECAST FOR CONSISTENCY AND ALLOW THE NEXT SHIFT TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. && RJP
