The episode as NWS PAH wrote it up.
Heavy rainfall shortly before Christmas caused sharp rises on regional rivers. The heavy rainfall was caused by a slow-moving cold front that passed across the Lower Ohio and Mid Mississippi Valleys between the 20th and 22nd. Several low pressure systems moved north-northeast along the front, touching off numerous showers and thunderstorms. Generally only minor river flooding was reported.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Dec 22, 5:25 AM CST, 6 hours 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 525 AM CST Sun Dec 22 2013 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 457 AM CST SUN DEC 22 2013 Updated aviation forecast discussion. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday night) ISSUED AT 309 AM CST SUN DEC 22 2013 Other than ongoing flooding from excessive rainfall over the past 24-36 hours, not too much to discuss in the short term. At the beginning of the short term period the back edge of precipitation associated with the exiting weather system will have cleared the eastern sections of our CWA. Per the 1000-850 MB moisture fields, we might see somewhat of a dry slot this morning across the area, so kept things dry. This afternoon models indicate another swath of low level moisture swinging across the area in broad cyclonic flow. This should be enough to generate very light non-measurable precipitation over the area so based on temperatures and critical thicknesses went with flurries northwest and patchy drizzle southeast. With plenty of moisture still over the area tonight coupled with cyclonic flow and cold air advection, just went with flurries as the colder air overspreads the entire region. Beyond that surface high pressure and slowing backing (counterclockwise) flow aloft should keep the region dry and cooler through the remainder of the short term period. In the wake of this system, near normal temperatures today and tonight will drop to well below normal and remain there through the period. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Saturday) ISSUED AT 309 AM CST SUN DEC 22 2013 We are still watching a minor system arriving on Christmas Day although models are still not in agreement. The 00Z GFS is faster in bringing a weak trough into the area by Christmas morning, while the 12Z ECMWF does not bring anything through until later in the day. It appears the 12Z/00Z run of the Euro backed off on the QPF for this event, which was pretty puny to begin with. Going to pull the chances for precipitation given how models have been behaving. Beyond that feature, our area will remain in a general longwave trough pattern, with energy passing through from time to time. But, models still do not have a clue on timing any particular piece of energy. In fact, the 12Z/00Z Euro shows another bonafide trough swinging through the area on both Thursday and another one on Friday, but with limited moisture, and the GFS does not show anything like this. There are definitely run to run consistency issues with the ECWMF, as the GFS seems to be more stable over the past few runs. Therefore, there are issues yet to be resolved in the upper levels. Fortunately, we are not dealing with precipitation with any said upper level features. The main challenge will be temperatures. After cool days for Christmas and Thursday, the GFS indicates a decent warm up. However, the Euro, with its more pronounced troughs moving through Thursday/Friday, pours more cold air into the area. For instance, there is about a 15 degree difference between the warmer MEX guidance to the much cooler ECE numbers for Friday. Will hedge on the warmer side due to the inconsistencies with the ECMWF model as of late. && .AVIATION... ISSUED AT 525 AM CST SUN DEC 22 2013 IFR/LIFR ceilings will prevail through at least mid morning today. Some improvement to MVFR ceilings will take place by late morning and afternoon, and this is likely to linger across much of the area into tonight. Winds will veer more to the northwest by Sunday night. Visibilities are in the MVFR category in a few places early this morning and that could last through mid morning before rising to VFR. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. MO...NONE.
