AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
752 AM EDT SAT SEP 23 2006

.DISCUSSION...
UPDATED THE FORECAST FOR THE FIRST THREE PERIODS TO REFLECT THE
CURRENT CONDITIONS AND TO AGREE WITH THE LATEST WATCHES AND
WARNINGS. THE MOREHEAD STATE POLICE REPORTED 4.21 OF RAIN FOR LAST
24 HOURS. THE REST OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK. ANOTHER UPDATE WILL
BE REQUIRED WHEN THE TORNADO WATCH EXPIRES. THE THUNDERSTORMS LAST
NIGHT AND THIS MORNING HAVE SHOWN A LOT OF ROTATION DUE TO THE VERY
STRONG WIND SHEAR. THERE WERE SEVERAL STORMS THAT WERE VERY CLOSE TO
FORMING A TORNADO...HOWEVER...THERE WERE NONE THAT ACTUALLY FORMED.
IF THE CLOUDS ARE ABLE TO THIN SOME THIS AFTERNOON...THE THREAT FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MUCH GREATER. THE REST OF THE FORECAST
IS ON TRACK. THE TORNADO WATCH FOR WAYNE AND MCCREARY COUNTIES WILL BE
CANCELED BY 8:30 AM.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
403 AM EDT SAT SEP 23 2006

DISCUSSION...
THE SKY OPENED UP TONIGHT OVER THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AREA AND ESPECIALLY TO THE WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. A WARM FRONT
MOVED ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. A SQUALL LINE EXTENDED FROM
ELLIOT TO MONTGOMERY COUNTIES AND THEN WESTWARD INTO CENTRAL
KENTUCKY. ALONG THIS LINE...HEAVY PRECIPITATION HAS OCCURRED. UP TO
SIX INCHES OF RAIN FELL OVER THE LEXINGTON AREA AND THE RADAR
ESTIMATE IS INDICATING THAT 3-4 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN THE
PAST 24 HOURS GENERALLY NORTH OF I-64. A TORNADO WATCH WAS ISSUED FOR
FOR THE SOUTHWEST COUNTIES DUE TO THE INCREDIBLE WIND SHEAR. THINGS
SHOULD DID DOWN A BIT THIS MORNING...HOWEVER AS THE HEATING GETS
GOING THIS AFTERNOON...THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE A FACTOR. THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY EVENING
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. AS IT DOES...IT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR DUMPING
AN ADDITIONAL INCH OF RAIN OVER THE AREA. THE AREA NORTH OF I64 WILL
BE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE FOR ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING WITH THIS NEXT
BATCH OF PRECIPITATION ON SATURDAY NIGHT. THINGS WILL START DRYING UP
ON SUNDAY AS THE FRONT CONTINUES MOVING TO THE SOUTH.

1159 PM EDT FRI SEP 22 2006

CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING EAST ACROSS CENTRAL KY IN WARM AND
MOIST AIRMASS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE CWA OVERNIGHT. VERY
HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN THOSE AREAS.
OPTED TO HOIST A FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 8 AM SAT MORNING FOR AREAS
MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MTN PARKWAY. THOSE AREAS ALREADY HAVE
RECEIVED BETWEEN ONE AND 1.75 INCHES OF RAIN EARLIER TODAY. RAISED
POPS IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM. OTHERWISE...ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE
MADE TO THE GRIDS AND ZFP.

525 PM EDT FRI SEP 22 2006

19Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A DEEP AND VERY LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
SPINNING OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST CENTERED NEAR FSD. THIS SYSTEM/S WARM
FRONT IS WORKING THROUGH EAST KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE LAST
OF A LARGE AREA OF OVER RUNNING SHOWERS EXITING THE AREA TO THE
NORTHEAST. BEFORE THESE SHOWERS...AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS...MOVED
ON THEY LEFT BEHIND A LARGE SWATH OF ONE INCH PLUS RAINS NORTH AND
WEST OF JKL. IN ADDITION...THE RAIN AND CLOUDS NORTH OF THE FRONT
KEPT TEMPERATURES FOR MUCH OF THE DAY IN THE 50S. MEANWHILE...TO THE
SOUTH...AND RAPIDLY MOVING NORTH...THE WARM SECTOR IS PUMPING UP
TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW AND MID 70S...ALSO THANKS TO BREAKS IN THE
OVERCAST AND BREEZY SOUTH WINDS. ON MOSAIC RADAR...ADDITIONAL STORMS
ARE CROSSING CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND WILL LIKELY ROLL INTO THIS PART OF
THE STATE TOWARDS SUNSET.

THE MAIN SHORT RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE LARGE DIFFERENCES WITH
RESPECT TO THE UPPER PATTERN...EVEN IN THE SHORT TERM. THE NAM AND
ITS MUCH SLOWER AND DEEPER SOLUTION SEEMS TO BE THE ONE OUT OF STEP
WITH THE OTHER MODELS AND THE ENSEMBLES. EVEN THE GFS MAY BE SLIGHTLY
TOO SLOW COMPARED TO THE OTHERS. AS A RESULT...HAVE GONE ALMOST
EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE GFS SOLUTION. ALTHOUGH...THIS DOES ADD TO THE
FORECAST CHALLENGE AS SEVERAL FEEDBACK VORTS ARE NOTED THROUGH THE
CRITICAL PART OF THE FORECAST. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN IT COMES
TO TRYING TO TIME THE INDIVIDUAL CONVECTIVE BANDS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS THAT WE ARE IN THE WARM SECTOR. ANYWAYS...
DISCOUNTING THE NAM...THE GFS TAKES THE DEEP CLOSED LOW AND OPENS IT
UP QUICKLY...SENDING IT INTO THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY NIGHT.
FOLLOWING THIS...THE LOW BECOMES AN OPEN WAVE TROUGH THAT MOVES INTO
SOUTHERN QUEBEC DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. ADDITIONAL ENERGY POURING INTO
THE WESTERN END OF THE TROUGH WILL KEEP IT LARGE AND DOMINANT THROUGH
ALL BUT THE WEST COAST AND FAR SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE NATION. THIS
BAND OF ENERGY/TROUGH AXIS THEN PASSES THROUGH KENTUCKY EARLY MONDAY
NEARLY 24 HOURS BEHIND THE SFC TROUGH. AFTER A BRIEF FLATTENING OF
THE FLOW THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE WORK
WEEK...ANOTHER STRONG TROUGH IS PROGGED TO SPREAD SOUTH INTO THE
PLAINS AND AMPLIFY. THIS FEATURE IS TIMED TO REACH KENTUCKY DURING
THE DAY THURSDAY AND PASS BY THAT NIGHT. OF COURSE...TIMING ISSUES
BECOME LARGER THE FURTHER OUT WE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY IN THIS
DYNAMIC UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN.

SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CROSSING EAST KENTUCKY WHILE WE REMAIN IN THE WARM
SECTOR. THE FIRST OF THESE WILL PASS THROUGH IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE CWA WILL BE MOST UNDER THE THREAT FROM
THESE PERIODIC THUNDERSTORMS WHILE CHANCES ARE MUCH LESS IN THE
SOUTHEAST. DEPENDING ON HOW AND WHERE THE BANDS SET UP FLASH FLOODING
WILL CERTAINLY BE A POSSIBILITY...AND WITH TODAY/S RAIN LOCATIONS
NORTH AND WEST OF JKL ARE MOST PRIMED. HAVE HIT THIS HARD IN THE HWO
ALONG WITH THE SEVERE THREAT...BUT DEPENDING ON THESE INITIAL BANDS A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH COULD BE NEEDED. AS FOR SEVERE WEATHER...MANY
FACTORS ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR A DECENT POTENTIAL SATURDAY...THE
PRIMARY ONE BEING A VERY FAVORABLE WIND FIELD THAT WOULD HELP
DISCREET CELLS ORGANIZE AND PERHAPS EVOLVE INTO MORE LINEAR BANDS
LATER IN THE DAY. THESE THREATS CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
SUNDAY WITH THE FRONT AND ANY SQUALL LINE THAT CAN DEVELOP AHEAD OF
IT. AFTER A SOLID BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CROSS THE CWA
SUNDAY...DRIER AND COOLER AIR RUSHES INTO THE STATE ON WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS. A SHOWER MAY LINGER SUNDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY NORTH
OF JKL AS THE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE PASS
BY. QUIETER...AND MODERATING...WEATHER THEN TAKES HOLD THROUGH
WEDNESDAY BEFORE ANOTHER FRONT BRINGS A RENEWED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. AT THE
MOMENT...FRIDAY LOOKS DRY...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW WITH TIMING A
CHALLENGE IN THIS PATTERN.

GIVEN THE MORE FAVORABLE PARENT MODEL SOLUTION...FOLLOWED THE MAV MOS
CLOSEST WITH SOME ADJUSTMENTS FOR LOCAL EFFECTS. LIKEWISE...ALSO
ENDED UP NEAREST THE MAV POPS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...THOUGH WENT
CATEGORICAL IN MOST LOCATIONS AS THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.

WITH THE GFE/IFPS GRIDS...USED A VARIATION OF MY STANDARD POPULATION
METHOD FOR WINDS AND DEWPOINTS...TAKING THEM FROM THE GFS40 THROUGH
84 HOURS AND THEN NUDGING THEM TOWARD THE INHERITED GRIDS AFTER THAT.
BEING THESE WERE GFS BASED...TOOK THE WINDS DOWN FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY
AT NIGHT AND TO A SMALLER DEGREE DURING THE DAYS. DID KEEP THEM UP IN
THE AFTERNOON SATURDAY FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF STRONGER WINDS MIXING
DOWN IN ANY BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST WITH THE PGF SO STRONG. FOR
DEWPOINTS...TOOK THEM DOWN A TAD SATURDAY AND MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE
REST OF THE FORECAST LOOKED GOOD WITH FRONTAL TIMING ALMOST IDENTICAL
TO THE LATEST CONSENSUS. THE MAIN CHALLENGE AND CHANGES REVOLVED
AROUND DISCERNING AND TIMING THE BANDS OF CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT 36
HOURS. DID ADD MODERATE AND HEAVY RAIN DESCRIPTORS TO THE WEATHER
GRIDS FOR TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...AS PWS FOR MUCH OF THE TIME WILL
BE BETWEEN 1.75 AND 2 INCHES.

1046 AM EDT FRI SEP 22 2006

MULTIPLE UPDATES MADE TO THIS MORNINGS FORECAST. LARGE AREA OF
PERSISTENT LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS...WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS...CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. NORTHWEST
COUNTIES IN PARTICULAR ARE SEEING THE MOST AND LONGEST LASTING RAIN NOW
AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE FA HAVE BEEN RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN FORECAST DUE TO
THE RAIN. HAVE DECREASED TODAYS HIGH TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES TO
ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT TRENDS. SKY COVER WAS ALSO INCREASED PER LATEST
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS
THE BOARD...WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR BLUEGRASS COUNTIES...AND A
GRADUAL DOWN TREND TO CHANCE CATEGORY FOR THE FAR SOUTHEAST. ALSO
MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE QPF AND WEATHER GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR CHANGES
MADE TO SKY COVER AND POP FORECASTS. UPDATE WILL BE OUT SHORTLY.

435 AM EDT FRI SEP 22 2006

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...BOTH MODELS INITIALIZED
FAIRLY WELL AND ARE IN GOOD GENERAL AGREEMENT THOUGH THE SHORT TERM.
AT 4 AM...A LARGE SURFACE LOW WAS LOCATED OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA WITH
A COLD FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS EASTER KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA...THEN
CURVING BACK ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS. A WARM FRONT EXTENDED FROM EASTERN
KANSAS TO SOUTHWESTERN TENNESSEE. THIS WARM WILL BE APPROACHING THE
FORECAST AREA FROM THE SOUTH AND IS PRODUCING PRECIPITATION WELL TO
THE NORTH OF THE FRONT. AS WITH MOST WARM FRONTS...THE MODELS ARE
SHOWING SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH THIS SYSTEM. THIS WARM FRONT WILL
PRODUCE SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS...WITH AN OCCASIONAL
RUMBLE OF THUNDER AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TODAY. THE COLD
FRONT AND LOW ARE REALLY QUITE IMPRESSIVE ON BOTH THE ANALYSIS AND
PROGS. THE MODELS ARE MOVING THIS FRONT SLOWLY TOWARD THE AREA.
TOMORROW...THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH THE COLD
FRONT STILL TO THE WEST OF THE AREA. THIS WARM SECTOR WILL BE VERY
UNSTABLE AND IS CERTAINLY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ONE OR TWO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE FAR WESTERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE
FRONT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE ENTIRE
AREA SHOULD RECEIVE BETWEEN ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH OF PRECIPITATION
FROM THIS SYSTEM. SOME ISOLATED AREAS MAY GET UP TO ONE INCH OF RAIN.
BY MONDAY MORNING...ALL OF THE SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD BE
OVER.

FOR TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE MAV AND MOS MET
OUTPUTS AS THE MODELS SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS NEXT SYSTEM.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MONDAY WILL BE QUITE SEASONABLE
AS THE UPPER AIR PATTERN WILL BE TRANSITIONING TO A MORE ZONAL FLOW
PATTERN. THIS ZONAL PATTERN WILL RESULT IS A DRY SEASONABLE WEATHER
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BY THURSDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL BE
DIGGING IN AND WILL EXTEND FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO OKLAHOMA. AS
SUCH...IT WILL GENERATE A SURFACE FRONT WHICH WILL BE MOVING ACROSS
THE AREA ON THURSDAY BRINGING WITH IT SOME SHOWERS. THE TIMING OF
THIS FRONT IS A BIT SUSPECT AND HAS HAD SOME RUN TO RUN
INCONSISTENCIES...SO MY CONFIDENCE LEVEL IN THE TIMING IS A BIT SUSPECT.

833 PM EDT THU SEP 21 2006

MAINLY CIRRUS DRIFTING OVERHEAD AND NOT ENOUGH TO HAMPER RADIATIONAL
COOLING SO FAR...PARTICULARLY THE VALLEY LOCATIONS OF THE EASTERN
COUNTIES. TEMPS THERE ARE ALREADY RUNNING NEAR FORECAST LOWS (LOWER
TO MID 50S). TEMPS SHOULD DROP WELL UNTIL AROUND 6Z...WHEN MID CLOUDS
WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPS TO BE A LITTLE
COOLER THAN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. UPDATED TO INSERT A RIDGE/VALLEY
TEMP SPLIT OVER THE SE 2/3 OF THE CWA AND ALLOWED FOR TEMPS THERE TO
REACH THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50. RIDGE LOCATIONS WERE RUNNING SLIGHTLY
COOLER THAN FORECAST...BUT OPTED TO ONLY LOWER ABOUT 1 OR 2 DEGREES AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW PROJECTED TO DEVELOP SHOULD ALLOW FOR ONLY AN ADDITIONAL
3 TO 5 DEGREE DROP.
