Severe Thunderstorm Warning 109, NWS Jackson, KY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1105 AM EDT SUN JUN 2 2002

COMPLEX SFC PATTERN THIS MORNING AS SEEN ON 14Z SFC CHART AND VIS
SAT PICS. AT LEAST 3 BOUNDARYS THAT MAY EFFECT THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON. MAIN COLD FRONT LOCATED JUST A TAD SOUTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER. MODELS PUSH THIS ON THROUGH MOST OF THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING...HOWEVER SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH IT
REALLY GOES BASED ON 12Z RUN OF THE MESOETA FCST SOUNDINGS.

SOUPED UP AIRMASS STILL IN PLACE AND TSRA IGNITED FIRST THING THIS
MORNING ON ONE OF THE BOUNDARYS FROM PIKEVILLE NW BACK TOWARD
LEX/CVG. SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...WBZ IS HIGH AND IT WILL TAKE HIGH
VILS TO GET DIME SIZED HAIL...(YESTERDAY IT WAS TAKING 60+ VIL) TO
GET THE HAIL TO THE SFC. HIGH PWS SO WILL HAVE TO BE ON GUARD FOR
HEAVY RAINERS AGAIN.

MORE CLOUDS THAN YESTERDAY...MAX TEMPS MAY BE A BIT TRICKY ESP
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES...BUT PLANNING ON STICKING WITH THE MID 80S
FOR NOW FOR MOST OF THE AREA.

12Z RUN OF THE MESOETA TRICKLING IN NOW IS A LITTLE CONFUSING WITH
HOW ITS HANDLING VORT AND OMEGAS THIS AFTERNOON...WE ARE STILL
STEWING ON IT.

ALL SAID AND DONE...ZONES ARE ON TRACK AND WE STILL HAVE SOME
CONCERN FOR SVR TSRA THIS AFTERNOON. PLAN ON RAISING POPS CWA WIDE BY
10 PERCENT OR SO TO AROUND 50%. HEAVY RAINS POSSIBLE AND DEBATING ON
SOME STORMS MAY BE STRONG TYPE OF WORDING.

UPDATE OUT SHORTLY.

.JKL...NONE.
