457 FXUS63 KPAH 050719 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 119 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - Below normal temperatures will continue thru the week`s end and carry over into next week. - Small precipitation chances exist late this weekend and again by the middle of next week, but amounts and impacts look to remain negligible. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 115 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 We should see more sunshine over the next 24-48 hours as high pressure becomes our predominant synoptic feature of sensible weather influence. However, we stay on the cold side of seasonal normals and then another cold fropa, this one by late weekend, will bring a reinforcing shot of cold that carries the below normal temperature trend right on into next week. Attendant to the front`s approach and passage comes our next pcpn chances. Moisture is scarce however, so amounts are light and as such offer limitied to negligible impacts insofar as pcpn is concerned. Another chance of pcpn comes by mid week as a brief moderation a little closer to seasonal norms occurs Wednesday, but this system`s passage comes with another plunge in temperatures as arctic air arrives/settles in for the end of the week. && .AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/... Issued at 115 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 Persistence strategy forecasting is best early this package, but there is still indication that high pressure eventually wins out and restricted bases scatter today. Return flow southerlies develop and a resumption of Visual Flight Rules appears increasingly likely by this afternoon. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None.
