Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 4:29 PM EDT, 3 hours 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 429 PM EDT TUE JUN 14 2005 .DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT) CONVECTION HAS BLOSSOMED UPSTREAM IN RESPONSE TO EJECTING S/W AND REFLECTIVE COLD FRONT. MOST ORGANIZED STORMS SEEM TO BE STAYING NORTH OF THE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY WHERE OVERALL BETTER FORCING IS AVAILABLE...HOWEVER LINE HAS BEEN FILLING IN WITH TIME TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST ON SAT...AND WITH GOOD INSTABILITY OUT AHEAD...EXPECT AT LEAST AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING FOR LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE PARKWAY AS WELL. COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE CWA BY LATE TONIGHT...WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR BEING ESCORTED IN GRADUALLY BEHIND EXITING UPPER LEVEL LOW. COOLEST AIR LOOKS TO HOLD OFF FROM PENETRATING UNTIL WEDNESDAY EVENING...SO WITH DRIER AIR IN PLACE...STILL EXPECTING TEMPS TO RECOVER INTO THE LOWER TO MID 80S. S/W WILL ENCROACH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH PERHAPS A FEW SPRINKLES ASSOCIATED WITH IT...HOWEVER WITH A DRIER AIR MASS IN PLACE AND GUIDANCE ONLY SHOWING SLIGHT CHANCE POPS...PULLED WEATHER ALTOGETHER AS COVERAGE WILL LIKELY BE LESS THAN 20 PERCENT. MORE DIGGING TAKES PLACE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...WITH ANOTHER REINFORCING SHOT OF COOLER AIR TO FOLLOW. GFS HAS HAD THE COOLEST 850 TEMPS...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO NOT FORECAST MUCH MORE THAN 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL HIGHS WITH JUNE SUNSHINE AND DRIER DEWPOINTS IN PLACE. EXTENDED...(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY) MODELS PROJECTING A TROF TO BECOME QUITE AMPLIFIED OVER THE ERN 1/3 OF CONUS WITH RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE PLAINS. THIS PROJECTS A NW WIND AND COOLER TEMPS FOR THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND. BY MON...AS THE ERN LOW MOVES INTO THE NRN ATLANTIC...A PIECE OF ENERGY BREAKS OFF THE SRN END...OVR THE PANHANDLE OF FL AND MOVES WEST UNDER THE CNTRL HIGH. BY TUE...THE GULF LOW HAS MOVED FAR ENUF WEST...TO NEW ORLEANS THAT SOME MOISTURE BEGINS TO FILTER INTO THE GULF STATES. THIS IS STILL TOO FAR SOUTH TO AFFECT THE TN VLY SO NOT EXPECTING ANY SIG WX THRU THE EXTENDED. TEMPS WILL BE COOLER THAN RECENT PAST...BUT WITH THE FULL JUNE SUN AND DRY AIR...SHOULD SEE GOOD WARMING SO WILL GO WITH THE WARMEST GUIDANCE IN THE GFS. DRY AIR AND CLEAR SKIES WILL ALSO ALLOW OVERNIGHT TEMPS TO DROP OFF SIGNIFICANTLY AND COULD SEE AS MUCH AS A 30 DEG SWING FROM HIGHS TO LOWS. WITH HIGH IN CONTROL...SHOULD ALSO SEE GOOD OVERNIGHT TEMP INVERSION AND RIDGE/VALLEY SPLIT. WILL NOT FCST THE SPLIT ATTM BUT WILL KEEP IN MIND AND WATCH FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. OTHER THAN A FEW TWEAKS TO MAX/MIN TEMPS LITTLE DONE TO EXTENDED GRIDS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... 130 PM EDT TUE JUN 14 2005 WILL UPDATE ZONES FOR INCLUSION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 482. NO OTHER CHANGES NEEDED. UPDATE OUT SOON. 1030 AM EDT TUE JUN 14 2005 EASTERN KENTUCKY IS IN BETWEEN A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED OFF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COAST AND AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE OVER MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS THIS MORNING. A LINE OF TSRA HAS ALREADY FIRED OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA AND THIS LINE WILL LIKELY BUILD SOUTH INTO OUR AREA THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE AREA CONTINUES TO LIE IN A SLIGHT RISK FROM SPC WITH DAMAGING WIND THE MAIN THREAT. BEFORE THE STORMS MAKE IT HERE...A WARM AFTERNOON IS ON TAP. RECORD HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON ARE 90F IN JACKSON AND 91F IN LONDON AND THESE ARE CERTAINLY IN REACH WITH AMPLE SUNSHINE AND WAA OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT OVER THE MIDWEST. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO ANY PRODUCTS THIS MORNING. WILL TWEAK HOURLY TEMPS/SKY/WIND GRIDS TO BETTER REFLECT PRESENT CONDITIONS AND WILL UPDATED ZONES TO TAKE OUT MORNING WORDING. UPDATED GRIDS AND TEXT PRODUCTS WILL BE SENT SHORTLY. 412 AM EDT TUE JUN 14 2005 THE MODELS INITIALIZED WELL IN WERE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN THE MODELS WERE THAT THE GFS IS FASTER WITH THE COLD FRONT TODAY THAN THE NAM. THE FORECAST TIMING IS A BLEND OF THE TWO BUT STRONGER WEIGHT WAS GIVEN TO THE NAM. THIS NEXT SYSTEM WILL HAVE GOOD SHEAR AND DECENT INSTABILITY AS IT MOVES INTO THE AREA. THE CAPE WITH THE FRONT OVER CENTRAL KY WILL BE 3000 TO 4000 AND WILL DROP OFF TO THE 2000 TO 2500 RANGE WHEN IT MOVES INTO EASTERN KY. THIS IS DUE TO THE LATER TIMING OF THE NAM WITH THE FRONT MOVING IN AFTER PEAK HEATING. WITH THE HIGH DEWPOINTS...THE LCLS WILL ALSO BE LOW AND FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. IF THE THE FASTER GFS TIMING TURNS OUT TO BE CORRECT...THE CHANCES OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE GREATER DUE TO THE GREATER HEATING AT THE TIME OF FRONTAL PASSAGE. WENT WITH THE WARMER NAM MOS TEMPS FOR TUESDAYS HIGHS DUE TO THE BETTER TIMING OF THE FRONT. THINGS WILL COOL OFF ON WEDNESDAY AS THE COOLER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA. WENT WITH THE LOWER NAM MOS POP FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS...MOSTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE COOLING CONTINUES ON WEDNESDAY...AS THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUE TO POUR COOLER AIR INTO THE AREA. BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER LOW...THERE MAY BE SOME SHORT SPURTS OF SHOWERS AS WEAK SHORT WAVES MOVE AROUND THE TROUGH. 843 PM EDT MON JUN 13 2005 CURRENT GRIDDED FORECAST LOOKS ON TARGET WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR TWEAKS NEEDED FOR TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES RUNNING A LITTLE WARMER THAN CURRENT HOURLY FORECASTS...AND HAVE MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS IN THE HOURLY GRIDS. HAVE ALSO LOWERED SKY COVER FOR TONIGHT...WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES INDICATED ON LATEST SATELLITE AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS. EVEN WITH TEMPERATURES RUNNING A LITTLE WARMER THAN FORECAST IN THE HOURLY GRIDS FEEL THAT LESS CLOUD...AND DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL TO CURRENT FORECAST LOWS...SO NO CHANGES PLANNED FOR MINIMUMS TONIGHT. ANY REMNANTS OF CONVECTION IN ILLINOIS AND INDIANA WILL REMAIN NORTH OF OUR AREA AND WILL CONTINUE WITH POPS LESS THAN 10 PCT FOR TONIGHT. LOW CHANCE POPS STILL LOOK GOOD FOR TUESDAY WITH APPROACHING COLD FRONT...WITH SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE TUESDAY AFTERNOON. UPDATED GRIDS AND TEXT PRODUCTS OUT SHORTLY. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && GEOGERIAN
