Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 627 PM CDT Sun Apr 24 2022 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 210 PM CDT Sun Apr 24 2022 The models continue to slow the approach of the front. This will potentially delay the onset of thunder (migration thereof), and perhaps extend its duration in the night. We've made some minor modifications to account for this. It also lowers overall qpf, although we remain in marginal to slight risk of exceeding FFG. We'll continue to hit upon that in our products, but with storm totals now likely at 1.25 inches or less, we'll stay away from headlines. The severe threat is a limited late afternoon-early evening window associated with daytime destabilization. If the front's slowing approach continues, we're likely to see this threat stay just north of us, or mainly so, not unlike how the majority of the slight risk is drawn. We'll continue to monitor the late day atmosphere closely for any changes to this. Some drier mid level air showing up in the morning soundings may help strong-svr wind gust potential, so we don't want to downplay it too much, even as we lean that way. There is a SVR Box just to our north. We'll have a sticky tongue of 60s dew points feeding diurnally assisted MUCapes upwards into 4 digits, so with modest mid level lapse rates, bets are not off. But certainly the stronger shear/energy looks to be nearer the parent driving system to the north/in the Box area. After fropa, temps begin to cool, and dew points draw down. Monday will be transitionary, until the front's complete passage. 70s go back to 60s for highs and then by night, 40s are commonplace for lows. Consistently modeled 60s with drier high pressure Tuesday now looks a little cooler, maybe sneaking some upper 50s in there. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 210 PM CDT Sun Apr 24 2022 A gradual warmup is expected mid to late week, but the long-term pattern that has favored persistent coolness in our area will not change. Temperatures will cool back down later next weekend as another 500 mb trough amplifies over the northeastern states. As far as the daily specifics, Wednesday will start off chilly with some patchy frost possible. A surface high pressure center will be ideally located for radiational cooling over our region at 12z. Clear skies, light winds, and dry air could result in a short- duration frost around sunrise. Though temperatures appear marginal for frost, the potential will be monitored since green-up is well underway. Temperatures will warm up slowly Wednesday through Friday as winds turn southeast to south on the back side of the surface high. Some light warm advection showers are possible Thursday through Friday, mainly in the better moisture return west of the Mississippi River. Thunder cannot be ruled out Friday in the Ozark foothills region. Highs will warm to to the lower to mid 70s by Friday. Next weekend will feature the arrival of another cold front. The preliminary timing looks to be Saturday night. Showers and thunderstorms are likely to accompany the front. The front will be a pretty quick mover, so once again this does not look like an extended washout. With any frontal passage around the end of April through the month of May, it is hard to rule out a few strong to severe storms. Sunday looks to be a little cooler with showers coming to an end. && .AVIATION... Issued at 627 PM CDT Sun Apr 24 2022 The chance for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will be on the increase tonight as a front moves into the region. Conditions will deteriorate through the night to MVFR with local IFR conditions anticipated. SSW winds 5 to 15 kts will continue, with a shift to the NNW late tonight as the cold front moves across the area from west to east. The chance of showers and storms will end Monday morning from west to east as well, with gradual improving flight conditions. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None.
