AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 1247 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2014 .UPDATE... issued at 1247 PM CDT Mon Jun 23 2014 Updated aviation discussion only. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday night) Issued at 123 AM CDT MON JUN 23 2014 Pops will be gradually ramping up in the short term, as the combination of moisture, instability, and lift comes together best during the Monday Night through Tuesday Night time period. That's when the energy associated with the upper trof makes passage and likewise drags a surface low pressure system and associated front across the lower Ohio river valley. Pops before and after that system's approach and departure are cursory prefixes and suffixes to the likely category pops (may be higher in the near future) we have going for the Monday Night through Tuesday Night time frame. As a result, temps around 90/around 70 will mute a little on the high temp forecast due to increased convection/clouds, with mid to upper 80s and similar lows. All of this is little changed from previous runs, with just some subtle massaging. The latest modeling does indicate a drier than wetter Wednesday, but we are going to maintain a small pop nonetheless, at least until a little more consistent dry signal is received. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday) Issued at 331 AM CDT MON JUN 23 2014 From Thursday through Saturday, a West-Northwest oriented frontal boundary and a semi-permanent shortwave trough will remain across the WFO PAH forecast area. This will keep both diurnal and non- diurnal chances for precipitation across the area, with increasing PoPs along and south of the frontal boundary. Rain chances may eventually increase to the likely category as the short term forecast cycle moves into the latter part of the week. Drying does not take place until the Central and Southern Plains ridge builds northeast into the area by Sunday and into early next week. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1247 PM CDT MON JUN 23 2014 Shower and tstm activity has expanded on the radar this afternoon, partially driven by diurnal heating, but will be hard to pinpoint as to exactly where they will occur. Thus, vicinity tstm wording will be in play for the TAFs into the early evening. Winds may be gusty at times, but should stay below 20 knots outside of tstms. There should be another interval of vsby restrictions and MVFR cigs late in the night or just after sunrise due to shower or tstm activity, due to a mid level shrtwv moving through the region. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
