NWS Forecaster Discussion
480 fxus63 kpah 071128 cca afdpah Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Paducah Kentucky 528 am CST Sat Nov 7 2009 Update... updated aviation section for 12z taf issuance. The discussion section is unchanged from the previous issuance. && Discussion... numerical guidance remains consistent in the southerly return flow regime behind the center of surface high pressure poised along the middle-Atlantic Seaboard at this time. In the near term...the main concern for today /Saturday/ will be the strength of the surface pressure gradient and vertical mixing...mainly for the wind/wind gust and dewpoint forecast. For consistency sake...made no changes to the current gridded forecast of winds and dewpoints with this morning package. There was just not enough compelling reasons to make further areal adjustments to the wind/wind gust and dewpoint forecasts through the forecast period. Temperatures...pops...weather and quantitative precipitation forecast were adjusted slightly to reflect the more consistent European model (ecmwf) solution with respect to thermal and precipitation fields with this forecast. The main chance of rain still looks to be centered onto late Monday into early Tuesday. To that end...only made a slight pop/weather adjustment to reflect rain chances associated with the front to the northwest and some influence from the current low in the western Gulf of Mexico pushing a moisture plume into the lower MS valley and the southeast U.S. Otherwise...the short and medium range model guidance remains quite similar in the progression of weather systems through the weather forecast office pah forecast area through the middle of next week. && Aviation... only concern for aviation for this taf cycle will be south or southwest winds. A strong inversion is expected to be based in the 2500-3000ft above ground level layer through the day. 40kt west southwest winds are noted on area profilers at 925mb. The inversion should prevent these strong winds from mixing down this afternoon. However...a few gusts up to 25 miles per hour will be possible this afternoon...with gusts around 20 miles per hour more common through the day. The winds will calm down to around 5 miles per hour at sunset and continue through the night tonight. && Pah watches/warnings/advisories... Kentucky...none. MO...none. Illinois...none. In...none. && $$ Public......kes aviation....drs
