The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at May 30, 4:31 PM EDT, 3 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 30, 4:31 PM EDT, 3 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 431 PM EDT SUN MAY 30 2004 .DISCUSSION... ADDED TORNADO WATCH AND FLOOD WATCH FRONT ON THE WAY TONIGHT...PLENTY OF ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH WARM WHICH WILL PROCEED COLD FRONT WORKING IN FROM THE WEST LATE TONIGHT/EARLY MORNING. PLENTY OF SPIN IN THE ATMOSPHERE...LATEST VWP SHOWS MORE THAN 90 DEGREES OF VEERING IN THE LOWEST 4KFT. MADE ONLY SMALL CHANGED TO TEMPS...AND STAYED PRETTY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE. ADJUSTED POPS FOR NEW TIMING OF FRONT...AND USED CAT POPS BOTH TONIGHT...AND EARLY TOMORROW. SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR OUT FAIRLY QUICKLY BEHIND FRONT...WITH SCATTERED SKIES BY THE CONCLUSION OF THE AFTERNOON. NO VERY SHARP FOCUS CURRENTLY FOR ACTIVITY...AND THUS HAS BEEN ERRATIC AT BEST...WITH ROTATION IN NUMEROUS STORMS. COLD FRONT WILL PROVIDE MORE FOCUS AS IT COME THROUGH...AND WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN MORE BOWS/LINES...WITH CONTINUED ISOLATED SEVERE AND SUPERCELLS OUT AHEAD. && .PREV DISCUSSION... 628 AM EDT SUN MAY 30 2004 CURRENTLY HAVE WARM FRONT LIFTING ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. MCC FORMED ALONG THE FRONT AND HAS EXPANDED IN COVERAGE TOWARDS EASTERN KENTUCKY DURING THE OVERNIGHT. WHILE IR SAT SHOWS CLOUD TOPS HAVE BEEN WARMING OVER THE PAST FEW SCANS...WILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR TRAINING CELLS. SOME OF THE STRONGER ONES HAVE BEEN PUTTING DOWN RAINFALL RATES UP TO AN INCH AND A HALF PER HOUR. IN CONJUNCTION WITH WARM FRONT...A S/W IS LIFTING OUT OF THE TENN VALLEY THIS MORNING. ANOTHER COMPLEX HAS DEVELOPED IN SOUTHERN TENN...BUT IS SLIDING MORE EAST. ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE FIRING IN WARM SECTOR AIRMASS IN RESPONSE TO S/W. EXPECT THE ACTIVITY TO DIE DOWN IN THE AFTERNOON AS FORCING MECHANISMS RELAX. MODELS HAVE TRENDED FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWER TONIGHT...AND HAVE KEPT BEST POPS FOR MOST OF THE AREA UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. SEVERE THREAT STILL LOOKS POSSIBLE...HOWEVER WITH SLOWER TIMING...LINE OF STORMS WILL HAVE TO PUSH A LONG WAY AND MAINTAIN. WITH LOTS OF CLOUD COVER OUT THERE...INSTABILITY WILL BE A LIMITING FACTOR. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE COMING IN MORE WET ADIABATIC. STILL HEALTHY WIND PROFILE COULD MAKE UP FOR THIS. IT APPEARS THAT DAMAGING WIND WOULD BE THE STRONGER THREAT...ESPECIALLY WITH WETBULBS OF 13K ADVERTISED BY FORECAST SOUNDINGS...WHICH WOULD REQUIRE QUITE A TALL CORE FROM A STORM. VEERING PROFILE AND PROGGED 0-3 KM HELICITIES IN THE 200-250 RANGE THROUGH MONDAY MORNING MAKE ISOLATED TORNADOES A CONTINUED POSSIBILITY. WITH LESS OF A THREAT PREDICTED BY SPC...HAVE CONTINUED WITH STRONG STORM WORDING IN THE ZONES AND SAVED THE SEVERE DETAILS FOR THE HWO. FLASH FLOODING STILL LOOKS LIKE A CONCERN WITH SOME TRAINING CELLS. GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW A BULLSEYE OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND CORRESPONDINGLY PRODUCES HIGHLY ELEVATED AMOUNTS OF QPF. LIKE THE TAKE ON THE ETA BETTER...AS SOME DIGGING INTO THE GFS MID AND UPPER LEVEL PATTERN REVEALS SOME QUESTIONABLE OUTCOMES. FRONT PUSHES THROUGH MONDAY...HOWEVER WITH AFOREMENTIONED SLOWER TIMING...MADE SOME POP ADJUSTMENTS...HOLDING ONTO CATEGORICAL AT LEAST FOR A FEW HOURS ON MONDAY MORNING. CHANGED VERY LITTLE OF THE REMAINING FORECAST PACKAGE FROM 00Z TUESDAY ONWARD. 951 PM EDT SAT MAY 29 2004 FORECAST ON TRACK THIS EVENING. WITH WARM FRONT PUSHING NORTH FROM TN WILL EXPECT MILDER TEMPS IN THE SOUTHWEST COUNTIES AND THE EARLIEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND ONLY AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. TO THE NORTHEAST...EXPECT PRECIP MORE TOWARDS MORNING AND WITH WARM FRONT JUST ARRIVING...TEMPS STILL EXPECTED TO SPLIT SOME. UPDATE OUT SHORTLY. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES....
