HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY
415 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

...HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE LATE THIS WEEK...

A VERY POTENT AND SLOW MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL LIKELY TRUDGE
EAST INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY LATE THIS WEEK. IN
FACT...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL FORM ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY...AND THEN REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY FROM LATE TOMORROW
THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. ALSO...RICH GULF MOISTURE WILL BE
CONTINUOUSLY PUMPED NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION. THESE CONDITIONS
WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. STORM TOTALS IN THE 2 TO 3
INCH RANGE APPEAR LIKELY...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE 3 TO
5 INCH RANGE IN AREAS THAT SEE REPEATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

GIVEN THE FLOODING OF THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND THE HIGH SOIL
MOISTURE CONTENT...FLOODING APPEARS TO ONCE AGAIN BE A POSSIBILITY
ALONG AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS. THERE REMAINS SIGNIFICANT
UNCERTAINTY IN HOW THIS SYSTEM WILL EVOLVE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
SMALL CHANGES IN STORM STRENGTH OR SPEED COULD IMPACT
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS SIGNIFICANTLY. PLEASE REMAIN WEATHER ALERT
FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES AND WARNINGS.
