NWS Forecaster Discussion
057 FXUS63 KPAH 212059 AFDPAH AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 250 PM CST SAT NOV 21 2009 .DISCUSSION... IN THE SHORTER TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/ LEANED CLOSER TO THE GFS/ECMWF DETERMINISTIC/ENSEMBLE SOLUTION FOR CLOUDS/WINDS/POP/WEATHER...ADJUSTING SLIGHTLY SOUTHEASTWARD TO COMPENSATE FOR MINOR HEIGHT/MASS FIELD VARIANCE FROM OBSERVED 12Z SATURDAY OBSERVATIONS. INTRODUCED A SMALL CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PENNYRILE REGION FROM LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TO MONDAY MORNING. ANTICIPATE THE MAIN PRECIPITATION WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH LIFT IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE NORTHWEST OF THE OPENING UPPER LOW/WAVE MOVING FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEYS BY 12Z MONDAY. SHOULD BE A SHORT BREAK BETWEEN SYSTEMS MONDAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN. HOWEVER...NEXT MID LVL SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SFC COLD FRONT WILL BE QUICK TO MOVE INTO THE REGION TUE/TUE EVENING. THIS SYSTEM IS MUCH STRONGER THAN THE ONE THIS WEEKEND...AND SHOULD HAVE A GOOD DEAL OF MOISTURE TO TAP AS IT HEADS EAST. WILL BUMP RAIN CHCS UP SOME WITH THIS PACKAGE...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON LIKELY POPS AT THIS POINT DUE MAINLY TO TIMING ISSUES BETWEEN THE DETERMINISTIC GFS/ECMWF. REALLY BELIEVE MANY AREAS WILL GET WET EITHER TUE OF TUE EVENING...BUT AMOUNTS SHOULD NOT BE IMPRESSIVE. THIS INITIAL FRONT WILL BRING DRIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS IN FOR WED...BUT ANOTHER STRONGER FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH COLDER AIR FROM CANADA WILL LIKELY SWEEP THROUGH JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING. THOUGH THIS FRONT LOOKS TO BE SOMEWHAT MOISTURE STARVED...CLOUDS AND DEEP CYCLONIC MID LVL FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT MAY HOLD MAX TEMPS IN THE LOWER AND MID 40S FOR THE HOLIDAY. HOWEVER...A SLOW WARMING TREND SHOULD GET UNDERWAY TOWARD THE WEEKEND...WITH DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED. && .AVIATION... ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORABLE...ADDED A PERIODIC MENTION OF MVFR FOG TO KCGI IN THE 09-13Z SUNDAY TIME FRAME TO ACCOUNT FOR SLIGHT VARIABILITY WIND WIND FLOW NEAR THE DIVERSION CHANNEL NEXT TO THE OBSERVATION SITE. OTHERWISE...THE REMAINING TAF LOCATIONS WERE KEPT IN VFR CATEGORY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH ONLY SCATTERED TO BROKEN COVERAGE OF CIRRUS SPREADING IN FROM THE WEST WITH TIME. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
