NWS Forecaster Discussion
321 fxus63 kpah 211733 aaa afdpah Area forecast discussion...updated National Weather Service Paducah Kentucky 1133 am CST Sat Nov 21 2009 Update... first period /rest of today/ forecast adjustment and 18z Saturday routine taf discussion. && Discussion... main adjustment for the rest of today was to reduce the amount of opaque cloud cover and alter temperatures/dewpoints accordingly. Given the greater insolation available for peak heating this afternoon...temperatures were raised slightly and dewpoints were kept the same or lowered slightly...especially in the east and northeast part of the weather forecast office pah forecast area. Although there will be some local variance in direction...kept average winds this afternoon from the east...southeast. && 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... Kentucky...none. MO...none. Illinois...none. In...none. && $$ Smith
