607 FXUS63 KPAH 161851 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 151 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 /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/... Issued at 135 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024 Active convection is nearest KCGI/KPAH terminals, and there is mid cloud blow-off from it. An isolated chance exists until loss of fuel with nightfall. SCT-BKN 5-7K FT AGL diurnal bases will follow a similar trend. Clearing skies/light winds under high pressure`s dominant influence tonight may allow for some patchy fog, particularly where rain falls this afternoon, but as of this writing, that`s not been at terminals yet. Tmrw will be similar to today with a slightly higher afternoon storm chance. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...Air Quality Alert until midnight CDT /1 AM EDT/ tonight for INZ081-082-085>088. KY...None. && $$
