Area forecast discussion, May 4, 4:52 PM EDT, 1 hour 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 452 PM EDT FRI MAY 4 2007 .SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...UPDATED BOUNDARY REMAINS JUST SW OF THE CWA THIS MORNING...WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA. A MID LEVEL SW/V WAS APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE WEST. CAPES HAVE REACHED 1000+ J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. SHEAR IS WEAK...BUT SOME UPDRAFTS HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT FOR MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL JUST WEST OF THE CWA. OTHERWISE... THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IN MOIST ATMOSPHERE 1.3 TO 1.4 INCH RANGE DUE TO RELATIVELY SLOW MOVEMENT AND SOME TRAINING. THE THREAT FOR MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL/MARGINALLY SEVERE THREAT WILL LINGER INTO THIS EVENING. THE SW/V WILL PROGRESS EAST ACROSS THE CWA INTO SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN PASS SE OF THE CWA ON SAT EVENING. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL STRENGTHEN TO THE WEST OF THE AREA ON SAT AND BUILD INTO THE REGION TO END THE NEAR TERM PERIOD. CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE SW CWA INTO THIS EVENING AND DAYTIME HEATING IS LOST. AREAS FURTHER NE INTO THE CWA HAVE FINALLY CLEARED OUT...WITH INSTABILITY INCREASING THERE. ADDITIONAL SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE NE 2/3 OF THE CWA THIS EVENING. LLJ IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN OVERNIGHT...WITH ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER THE BOUNDARY...OVER OR JUST WEST OF THE CWA...ESPECIALLY LATER TONIGHT AS THE SW/V MOVES INTO CENTRAL KY. CONTINUED WITH HIGHEST CHANCES THIS EVENING...LIKELY IN THE SW...WITH LOWER CHANCES TO THE NE. OPTED FOR CAT POPS LATER TONIGHT FOR EXPECTED ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. BOTH MAV AND MET ARE IN THAT RANGE AND MODELS SHOWING SIGNIFICANT LIFT AND MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE SW/V. CLOUDCOVER WILL HELP TO HOLD TEMPS UP TONIGHT TOWARD THE HIGHER END OF GUIDANCE. THE CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL REMAIN INTO SAT...WITH THE SW/V PASSING ACROSS THE CWA. CONTINUED WITH CAT POPS...ESPECIALLY EASTERN CWA ON SAT. PW/S WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN HIGH...SO ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE. CLOUDS AND PRECIP ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD BACK TEMPS ON SAT. SAT NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD EAST INTO THE AREA...WITH RELATIVELY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES INITIALLY AND THEN INTO THE OH VALLEY. THE NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY TO OUR SW WILL PUSH WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA ON SAT NIGHT...WITH CHANCES FOR PRECIP DIMINISHING ON SAT NIGHT. SKIES WILL CLEAR OUT FROM NE TO SW FOR SUN AS MUCH DRIER WORKS INTO THE AREA (MODELS ARE FORECASTING MEAN LAYER RH OF 15 TO 25 PERCENT FOR LATE SUN INTO SUN NIGHT). MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED ON SUN NIGHT...WITH LOWS SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN RECENT NIGHT. AS FOR HYDRO...THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE RELATIVELY SLOW MOVING...10 TO 15 KT...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING. THE SW CWA RECEIVED THE HEAVIEST RAIN SO FAR TODAY...WITH SOME AREAS ALREADY BEING PRIMED FOR A FLASH FLOOD THREAT FROM RECENT RAINFALL. OPTED TO ISSUE AN FFA FOR THE SW CWA FOR TONIGHT. IF HEAVY RAIN FALLS OVER MORE OF THE AREA THIS EVENING...OR DEVELOPS OUTSIDE OF THIS AREA...LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO RECONSIDER THE AREA THAT IS IN THE FFA. WILL UPDATE THE SPS FOR THE NE 2/3 OF THE CWA FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN THREAT TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW. .LONG TERM.../MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...UPDATED UPPER LEVEL RIDGE DOMINATES THE AREA THROUGH MIDWEEK AS AN OMEGA BLOCK DEVELOPS OVER THE EASTERN CONUS AND WESTERN ATLANTIC. 1030 MB PLUS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD DOWN THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD BRINGING A MUCH DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER AIRMASS TO THE LOCAL AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY. WITH THE COOLER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW EXPECTED... HAVE LOWERED TEMPS A LITTLE ON MONDAY BUT WITH AMPLE SUNSHINE EXPECTED AND WINDS GRADUALLY VEERING AROUND TO THE SOUTHWEST... EXPECT TEMPS TO WARM BACK INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. LONG RANGE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON GRADUALLY BREAKING DOWN THE BLOCK WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SINKING SOUTHEAST INTO FLORIDA AS TROUGHING GETS KICKED NORTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. SURFACE PROGS AND MOISTURE FIELDS INDICATE A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY THEN RETURNING NORTH ON THURSDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. THE FRONT LOOKS TO REMAIN FAR ENOUGH TO OUR NORTH THAT POPS WILL BE DROPPED ON WEDNESDAY... HOWEVER MOISTURE RETURN AND APPROACHING COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST WARRANTS SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. TOUGH CALL BEYOND THURSDAY BUT COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO LAY OVER INTO THE AREA ON FRIDAY PROVIDED RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHEAST REMAINS WEAK ENOUGH TO ALLOW IT TO DO SO. DUE TO THE LOW CONFIDENCE... FRIDAY WILL BE INTRODUCED WITH CHANCE POPS. CONFIDENCE IS A LITTLE BETTER WITH REGARDS TO TEMPS REMAINING ABOVE CLIMO AND 04/00Z MEX GUIDANCE NUMBERS TO END THE WORK WEEK WITH DAYTIME HIGHS EXPECTED TO TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. && .AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/ AIRMASS IS DESTABILIZING FROM JKL SOUTH AS BREAKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE CLOUDS AFTER INITIAL BAND OF SHOWERS MOVED THROUGH THIS MORNING. LATEST RADAR IMAGES INDICATE ISOLATED CONVECTION FIRING NEAR SME AND THIS TREND SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. SCATTERED COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON IS EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET RAMPS UP AND POTENT DISTURBANCE ROTATES NORTH OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE. EXPECT CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR AT LEAST AFTER 00Z IN SHOWERS AND TSTORMS AND THEN LOWER TO IFR/LIFR AFTER MIDNIGHT AS FOG AND LOW CLOUDS GET ADDED TO THE MIX. THE PRECIP SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN COVERAGE BY AROUND 12Z OR SLIGHTLY AFTER AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA... HOWEVER DON/T EXPECT CONDITIONS TO MAKE ANY GREAT IMPROVEMENTS AS LOW CLOUDS KEEP AT LEAST MVFR CONDITIONS LINGERING THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
