540 FXUS63 KPAH 170411 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 1111 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 /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 1104 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2024 Cloud cover will be on the increase tonight through tomorrow, mainly mid to high cloud, but could be some cigs in the 4-5kft range tomorrow. Scattered convection is expected to develop during the afternoon on Monday, lingering into early evening. Can`t rule out some patchy fog tonight in areas that received a heavy downpour earlier today. Light S/SE 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.
