AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
308 AM CDT SAT JUN 25 2011

.DISCUSSION...
BIGGEST CHALLENGE WITH THIS PACKAGE...AT LEAST IN THE SHORT
TERM...WILL BE TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF QPF AS WE EVOLVE INTO A
PATTERN CONDUCIVE TO NIGHTLY MCS DEVELOPMENT.

WITH A STORM SYSTEM SPINNING UP OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND ITS ASSOCIATED
SFC BOUNDARY JUST TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST...850-300MB THICKNESSES INDICATE
THE MASSIVE MCS CURRENTLY OVER NEBRASKA DIVING SOUTHEAST INTO OUR REGION
TODAY. THE BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO LIFT NORTHEAST AS A WARM FRONT BACK
ACROSS THE CWA TODAY...AND BY 00Z SUNDAY (7 PM TODAY)...THE NW-SE
ORIENTED BOUNDARY SHOULD BE BISECTING OUR CWA. SO REGARDLESS OF
WHAT EFFECT THE MCS HAS ON OUR REGION...WITH INCREASING SHEAR...
MOISTURE...INSTABILTY...AND THE ADDED LOW LEVEL FORCING FROM THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE A GOOD
BET TODAY ACROSS THE CWA...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE SEVERE WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS.

EVEN THOUGH THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO BE DRAPED
OVER THE NORTHEAST SECTIONS OF OUR CWA BY 12Z SUNDAY...MODELS
INDICATE ANOTHER MCS DIVING OUT OF THE PLAINS AND ACROSS THE
ENTIRE REGION...SO BUMPED UP POPS TO LIKELY OVER THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN SECTIONS TONIGHT. PRECIP CHANCES FOR SUNDAY WILL BE
PRIMARILY OVER THE NORTHEAST SECTIONS IN THE MORNING AS WHATEVER
REMNANTS OF THE MCS LINGER THERE.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS AN H5 RIDGE BUILDS NORTHEAST INTO THE
REGION AND THE WARM FRONT NOW WELL TO THE NORTH OF OUR CWA...
PRECIP CHANCES SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE NORTHEAST SECTIONS. EVEN
THOUGH THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO CROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...THE EFECT
OF THE UPPER RIDGING SHOULD ONLY ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHERN AND NORTHEAST SECTIONS MONDAY
NIGHT...THEN ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA ON TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE GETS
SUPPRESSED JUST A TAD. MADE NO CHANGES BEYOND TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
SHRA/TSRA ARE POSSIBLE AROUND 10/11Z OR SO. CONFIDENCE IS LOW
ATTM AS TO THE AREAL EXTENT AND TIMING OF THIS CONVECTION...SO
OPTED FOR A VCSH/CB MENTION. BUT...IF THE STORMS DEVELOP...THEY
SHOULD MAINLY AFFECT KCGI AND KPAH. ISLD TO SCT TSRA POSSIBLE
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS WELL...BUT COVERAGE AND TIMING IS NOT
CERTAIN ATTM...BUT BELIEVE BEST CHANCES WOULD BE OVER
KPAH/KCGI...SO KEPT A CB GOING. LOOKING AT A POSSIBLE COMPLEX OF
STORMS MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT...SO HINTED AT THIS WITH THE INCLUSION OF CB AT KEVV/KOWB.
