Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 352 AM CDT Tue Apr 13 2021 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday night) Issued at 350 AM CDT Tue Apr 13 2021 Weak mid-level short wave energy will move across the region this morning with an weak inverted surface trof in place to the south of the forecast area over srn TN. This will continue generate patchy shower activity before noon. Cannot rule out a rumble or two of thunder in some elevated instability, but overall will be a light event with QPF values under a tenth of an inch. Most of the afternoon should be rainfree as the short wave scoots off to the east. However, another very light QPF event event will be possible later tonight into Wednesday morning, mainly over southern portions of the forecast area as yet another very weak H50 short wave zips eastward through the lower/mid MS River Valley. A ridge of high pressure will then begin to build southeast from southern Canada into the upper Midwest and mid/upper MS River Valley regions on Thursday. This will bring rainfree conditions will a couple of chilly nights expected Wednesday and Thursday. may even end of with some mid/upper 30s over about the northern half of the region. Cannot rule out some scattered frost, especially in sheltered locations. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Monday) Issued at 350 AM CDT Tue Apr 13 2021 After another dry and seasonal day on Friday, mid level trofiness looks to become re-established over the MS River Valley region as we head into the weekend. However, model consensus continues to suggest this to be a rather weak system will little surface reflection. Thus, will keep pops minimal as per NBM numbers and qpf minimal to NIL at this point. High temperatures throughout the long term will be slightly cooler than normal with afternoon readings in the lower half of the 60s. && .AVIATION...
