Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 347 AM CST Mon Feb 7 2022 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday night) Issued at 345 AM CST Mon Feb 7 2022 A reinforcing shot of cold air will follow a weak frontal passage early today. Max temps along the I-64 corridor will likely stay near or just below the freezing mark, while southern locations will struggle to break 40 degrees. This cold air regime looks to be short-lived though. After lows tonight from the upper teens to mid 20s, southerly winds will take hold on Tuesday as surface high pressure moves off to the east. This, along with plentiful sunshine, should help temperatures recover into the upper 40s to mid 50s at most locations. Wednesday offers to be just as mild ahead of the next weak and moisture starved cold front that is expected to arrive later Wednesday night into early Thursday. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday) Issued at 345 AM CST Mon Feb 7 2022 The long term portion of the forecast remains void of any real significant weather of concern. The period starts off with higher than average confidence with good model agreement, but confidence decreases some over the weekend with greater model variability. The mid/upper flow pattern during the middle to latter part of the week will be influenced by a blocking ridge over the Pacific Coast and a mean trough across the eastern half of the nation. This will result in cyclonic westerly to northwesterly flow across the region through much of the period depending on which side of several passing shortwave troughs we're situated at the time. Accompanying those shortwave troughs will be a series of mainly dry frontal passages late Wednesday night into Thursday morning, Friday night, and then perhaps again Sunday or Sunday night. While an increase in cloud cover is forecast with each frontal passage, a lack of return moist flow should yield little to no precipitation. Perhaps the one exception is with the Friday night system, where a few sprinkles or light rain cannot be ruled out, especially across portions of southwest Indiana, southern Illinois, and western Kentucky. && .AVIATION... Issued at 1129 PM CST Sun Feb 6 2022 TAFs are expected to remain primarily VFR through the forecast period. A cold frontal passage late tonight into the early morning will shift winds to northwesterly and bring near-MVFR cigs to northern sites. A brief vsby reduction cannot be completely ruled out. Light winds shift to SSW by the end of the TAF period, with mid-level clouds moving in. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None.
