633 FXUS63 KPAH 162318 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 618 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Triple digit (or close to it) heat index thru tomorrow. - Daily storm chances thru Tuesday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 150 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024 Thunderstorms continue erupting in the heat of the day over/near the Bootheel. Anticipate this pulse storm chance lingering into early evening, then diminishing with loss of fuel. It`s mainly a heavy rain/lightning hazard, but stronger cores might produce gusty winds/small hail. A triple digit heat index, or close to it, is possible again tmrw. Its chance is maybe not as good as today, with a little more cloud coverage with slightly higher pops, but upper 90s HI`s will be achieved nonetheless. Daily (mainly diurnal) pops linger thru Tuesday on the return feed side of the high, with plenty of heat/moisture to work with. Drier air works the column over the back half of the week, so when we lose pops and start to warm up again, humidity is not as extreme and HI`s remain in the 90s. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/... Issued at 611 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024 Isolated convection will quickly fizzle by sunset. Additional isolated to scattered activity is expected to develop during the heat of the day tomorrow. Overall cloud cover will be on the increase later tonight through the day on Monday. Can`t rule out some patchy fog tonight in areas that received a heavy downpour today. Light winds tonight will pick up out of the south on Monday and may become gusty by afternoon around 15-20 kts. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None.
