Area forecast discussion, Aug 9, 2:45 PM EDT, 8 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 245 PM EDT WED AUG 9 2000 SATELLITE PICTURES STILL INDICATE A WEAK BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY FROM MORNING STORMS OVER CENTRAL INDIANA AND OHIO. HOWEVER THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS CAPPED AS INDICATED BY NO CU THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ALONG A COLD FRONT LOCATED OVER CENTRAL INDIANA AND NORTHERN OHIO. THESE STORMS MAY AFFECT OUR COUNTY FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. ALL MODELS INDICATE THAT THE FRONT WILL MOVE INTO KENTUCKY OVERNIGHT AND SOUTH OF THE STATE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE NON-EXISTENT OVER OUR AREA BUT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD HELP FOCUS SOME STORMS OVERNIGHT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION MORNING STORMS OVER THE NORTH AND SLIGHTLY LONGER OVER THE SOUTH AS THE FRONT MAY BRIEFLY STALL ALONG THE KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE BORDER. AT THE PRESENT TIME FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE DRY AND LESS HUMID. .SDF... JA
