NWS Forecaster Discussion
871 fxus63 kpah 202336 aaa afdpah Area forecast discussion...updated National Weather Service Paducah Kentucky 636 PM CDT Sat Mar 20 2010 Update... discussion for 00z Sunday routine taf issuance. && Discussion... /previously issued 1243 PM CDT Sat Mar 20 2010/ 17z frontal position on northwest doorstep of forecast area...separating 60s/near 70 across forecast area from 30s over much of MO/behind front. The NAM has a good grip on the near term conditions including precipitation. It models probability of precipitation in very slow tonight...with a dry evening for all but western semo...most probability of precipitation coming in late tonight/after midnight. In the far east...arguably the probability of precipitation hold off until tomorrow...but collab consensus may be to ride a 20 or so there...will monitor through press time before final call. Sun is a cloudy/cool/wet day. All models rotate upper/surface lows across MS valley with categorical probability of precipitation. Only elevated instability indices support thunder...but with Storm Prediction Center swody2 and inherited slight chance T...cant argue enough to take it out...though did taper it to mainly eastern 1/2 region (e of MS river) Sunday...and will monitor this too through press time before final call. Monday S/b mainly an early day pop as we wash out the crud on the back side of the low. Do not believe lower tropospheric temperatures support frozen precipitation at this time...so keeping all liquid as did predecessors. After that...middle week drying is followed by late week return probability of precipitation. Both GFS/ec move it on through...though ec is a little more high amplify with the pattern and as such is slower with tracking the open wave across the area...still doing so prior to weekend onset though. Favored NAM/therefore met MOS short term temperatures/dew points with slight collab adjustments. && Aviation... evolution of the deepening closed low along the Red River /aloft/ and eastern Arkansas /surface/ will continue to delay the lowering of VFR ceilings east of the Mississippi River until after 06z Sunday. Between 06z and 12z Sunday...local IFR ceilings will move into kcgi as the surface low moves into southeast MO...working toward kpah before 18z Sunday. Broken IFR ceilings should move into the kevv/kowb taf sites after 17z...as any remnant of the impinged ridge axis ahead of the closed low disappears and the atmospheric layer becomes quickly saturated with time. Despite the saturation toward the surface...visibilities should remain in the MVFR category through 00z Monday. && Pah watches/warnings/advisories... Kentucky...none. MO...none. Illinois...none. In...none. && $$ Smith
