AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 320 AM CDT MON JUN 28 2010 .DISCUSSION... COLD FRONT STILL OUT TO THE NW OF THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. CONVECTION HAS BEEN TRYING TO REFIRE ALONG THE FRONT IN SRN MO RECENTLY...AND THE AIRMASS IS GRADUALLY RECHARGING...WITH LI VALUES BACK DOWN IN THE 0 TO -2 RANGE OVER SE MO. BIG QUESTION IS HOW MUCH DEVELOPMENT WE SEE ALONG THE FRONT AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES AND THINGS BEGIN TO HEAT UP A BIT. THE HEATING WILL LIKELY DEPEND ON HOW MUCH CLOUDS VS SUN WE RECEIVE THIS MORNING. ALSO...MID LVL FORCING DOES NOT SEEM TO BE VERY STRONG. WITH ALL THAT SAID...WILL NEED TO KEEP CHANCY POPS ALONG THE FRONT TODAY...BUT WILL PULL BACK FROM THE LIKELY CATEGORY RIGHT NOW. THINGS WILL DRY OUT QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH ALL BUT FAR SOUTHERN AREAS SEEING A RETURN TO SUNSHINE BY DAYS END. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL GRADUALLY FILTER INTO THE QUAD STATE MON NIGHT INTO THE MID WEEK TIME FRAME AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION BY WED. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...THEN BELOW AVERAGE TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MUCH OF THE REST OF THE WEEK. DUE TO A BLOCKING PATTERN /CLOSED UPPER LOW/ OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIME...THE SURFACE HIGH WILL BE VERY SLOW TO MOVE ONCE IT SETTLES IN. WILL LIKELY SEE MORNING TEMPS DOWN IN THE 50S AND LOWER 60S MUCH OF THIS WEEK. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BEGIN TO SHOW UP DAYS 6-7...WHICH INCLUDES THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THE LATEST GFS BRING THE REMNANTS OF ALEX NORTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL TX COAST...THEN WELL INLAND AND TOWARD THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. THE ECMWF IS MAINTAINING A MUCH FURTHER SOUTH SOLUTION...AND NEVER REALLY EVEN BRINGS THE SYSTEM NORTH OF THE MEXICO BORDER. THE GFDL AND HWRF DO BRING ALEX INTO TEXAS...BUT ONLY TOWARD BROWNSVILLE OR ALONG THE RIO GRANDE. THE TROPICAL PREDICTION CENTER ALSO CONTINUES TO LEAN TOWARD A MORE SOUTHERN SOLUTION. THUS...WILL DISCOUNT THE GFS AND MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST IN OUR REGION FOR NOW. && .AVIATION... THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT WILL RESULT IN THE CONTINUED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT AND INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...BUT THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD REDUCE CEILINGS TO MVFR AT TIMES. FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS THE FORECAST TERMINALS WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 13Z AND 18Z MONDAY. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...WITH CLEARING SKIES BY MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. && MEFFERT/CW
