AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
630 PM EDT WED JUN 6 2001

THE ZONES WERE JUST UPDATED TO INCLUDE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR PARTS
OF EASTERN KENTUCKY. WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE DISCUSSION BY THE
FORECASTER WHO COMPLETED THE ENTIRE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE.

HAVE BEEFED UP THE WORDING IN STORMS APPROACHING FA AROUND THE OHIO
RIVER AREA.  INSTABILITY HAS INCREASED THERE AND THE BOUNDARY HAS
BEEN LOCALLY ENHANCED BY SURFACE TROUGH AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.
SHEAR LOOKS MUCH BETTER TODAY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY.

THESE STORMS COULD MEAN BUSINESS AND PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY AMOUNTS
OF RAIN BESIDE THE CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER.  FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY
BE COMING AS A RESULT.

FRONT IS TO THE NORTH BUT WILL EVENTUALLY SAG SOUTH AND KEEP POPS IN
THE FORECAST UNTIL FRIDAY.  DIFFERENT FROM THE SWEEPING COLD FRONT
FROM THE WEST FROM A FEW DAYS AGO.

TWEAKED THE EXTENDED...BUT FOR THE MOST PART LOOKS ON TRACK.

.JKL...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR PARTS OF NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST
KENTUCKY TONIGHT...KYZ044-068-069-079-080-083>088-116.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
449 PM EDT WED JUN 6 2001

...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS POSSIBLE THIS
EVENING FOR MUCH OF EASTERN KENTUCKY...

A FRONT ALONG THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY HAS BEGUN TO DRIFT SOUTH.
LINES OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL KENTUCKY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE I-75 CORRIDOR BY 6 PM THIS
EVENING. AS THE STORMS SPREAD ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY THROUGH THE
EVENING...A FEW OF THEM COULD PRODUCE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT MANY OF THE STORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINS OF MORE THAN ONE INCH PER HOUR. NEARLY SATURATED GROUND
IN MANY COUNTIES...ESPECIALLY IN FAR SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY...WILL
MAKE THE AREA SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING IN PLACES.

SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUESTED LATER THIS EVENING.

PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR
UPDATES.
