AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
300 AM EDT SUN AUG 27 2000

FORECAST PROBLEMS THIS AM CENTER ON 1ST PD POPS AND ANY CHC ON
MONDAY.

AT 07Z TSRA WERE MOVING INTO FAR WRN FORECAST AREA (FA). SCTD SHRA
WERE EAST OF THIS AREA.

MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH MOST FIELDS...BUT DIFFER SOME IN
DETAILS.  AVN TOO SLOW WITH PRECIP SO WILL GO WITH FASTER ETA/NGM.
BELIEVE NGM IS TOO STRONG WITH VORT MAX AT 48H SO WILL GO DRIER THAN
NGM QPF FOR LAST PERIOD.

SCATTERED PRECIP WILL LINGER ACROSS FA THIS AM...ESPECIALLY IN
SOUTH.  WILL CONTINUE CURRENT FORECAST MENTION OF MORNING AM PRECIP.
FINAL CONFIGURATION OF ZONES WILL BE TWEAKED AT ISSUANCE TIME
DEPENDING OF PRECIP COVERAGE AND STATUS OF WW 712.  ATMS REALLY DOES
NOT STABILIZE THIS AFTN ACROSS FA.  HOWEVER...NO REAL TRIGGER FOR
MOST AREAS...JUST THE LINGERING BOUNDARY TO SW. K INDICES DECREASE
ACROSS NRN FA...BUT REMAIN DECENT IN SW.  WILL ADD A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF STORMS THIS AFTN IN BWG AREA.

M/CLR TO P/CLDY CONDITIONS TONIGHT WITH LOWEST TEMPS IN THE EAST. ON
MONDAY...UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO AREA WITH WARMER TEMPS ALOFT.
BOUNDARY STILL JUST TO WEST...BUT WITH RIDGE BUILDING SEE MINIMAL
CHANCE OF PRECIP.

WILL TREND AGAIN JUST BELOW FWC NUMBERS TODAY AND WILL GO CLOSE TO
GUIDANCE TONIGHT/MONDAY.

.SDF...NONE
