388 FXUS63 KPAH 151708 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 1208 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Another one to two thirds of an inch of rainfall is possible across the southeast Missouri Ozarks before rain chances finally draw to an end. Lesser amounts are expected elsewhere. - Warm and dry conditions remain forecast the rest of the week and even into next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 145 AM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 A drier and warmer pattern will begin taking hold and ultimately work across the area in east-to-west fashion over the course of this new week. In the interim, some form of pop will linger as they otherwise contract across our southern and western counties through Monday. Dew points hovering near 70F and still ample columnar moisture will contribute to seeing another one to two thirds of an inch of rainfall potential in the southeast Missouri Ozarks, with lesser amounts expected elsewhere pops reside. We`ll see the drier forecast reflected in dew points dropping to the mid 50s to lower 60s by Tuesday, where they`ll hold for the bulk of the work week. Even into next weekend, they don`t exceed the lower 60s. This drier air mass will likewise get warmer, with upper 80s expanding, also from east-to-west, and becoming the norm across the entirety of the Forecast Area by Tuesday and beyond. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1208 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 The TAFs are VFR. The main concern will be scattered SHRA/isolated TSRA development this afternoon and evening near KPAH and KCGI. TSRA probs are too low to mention. There is some fog signal overnight mainly over southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. Once again mid-level clouds are likely to hang out over most of the region overnight, so will leave fog out of the forecast. KMVN has the best chance to see any fog tonight. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. && $$ DISCUSSION... AVIATION...DRS
