What forecasters said that day

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 Jul 28, 3:04 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 28, 3:04 PM EDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
304 PM EDT MON JUL 28 2008

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...UPDATED

LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAS DEVELOPED ALONG LEFTOVER
BOUNDARIES AND MCV FROM AN MCS LAST NIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING.
THIS LINE SHOULD BE MOVING OUT OF THE AREA BY AROUND 5 PM...HOWEVER
SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD LINGER BEHIND THIS LINE.
CONCERNED THAT ANOTHER MCS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MINNESOTA AND IOWA
REGIONS TONIGHT...AND MOVE SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA LATE. THINK THE
MOST FAVORABLE TRACK WILL BE TO THE WEST OF THE AREA...BUT CONCERNED
SOME OF THIS MAY BE ABLE TO AFFECT PART OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY IN
THE WEST. SREFS HINT AT THIS AS WELL. WILL MAINTAIN 30 POPS THROUGH
THE NIGHT TO DEAL WITH LINGERING CONVECTION THIS EVENING...AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR A BRUSH WITH MCS ACTIVITY LATE. OPERATIONAL MODELS ARE
NOT SHOWING ANY ACTIVITY OVER THE AREA TUESDAY...BUT AGAIN CONCERNED
WITH LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES FROM OVERNIGHT MCS ACTIVITY. SREFS HINT AT
SOME CONVECTION OVER THE AREA. THINK ENOUGH INSTABILITY EXISTS AS
WELL FOR SOME DIURNAL CONVECTION. WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE
DAY. WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS DIURNAL
CONVECTION DISSIPATES...AND THE NEXT MCS APPROACHES. THINK MOST OF
THE ACTIVITY SHOULD STAY NORTH OF THE AREA THOUGH. WEDNESDAY MOISTURE
FROM WHAT ONCE WAS HURRICANE DOLLY WILL HELP FUEL ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA. WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS DURING
THIS PERIOD. HEAVY RAINFALL ALSO A CONCERN...WITH PWATS 1.9. WIND
FLOW LOOKS WEAK...RESULTING IN SLOW STORM MOTIONS. WILL MENTION HEAVY
RAINFALL IN THE FORECAST. SOME STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH
GOOD INSTABILITY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA. HEAVY
RAIN CONCERN WILL CONTINUE.

ALSO A CONCERN TONIGHT WILL BE DENSE FOG. WILL MENTION AREAS OF
FOG...LOCALLY DENSE...IN THE FORECAST TONIGHT AS WELL. TEMPS WILL BE
TRICKY TOMORROW...SINCE CLOUD COVER WILL AFFECT TEMPS. DOESN/T LOOK
QUITE AS WARM AS EARLIER THOUGH.

.LONG TERM.../THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...UPDATED

THE MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
STILL PREFERRED TO SIDE WITH GFS ENSEMBLES AND ECMWF. OPERATIONAL
GFS IS BEING AFFECTED BY CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK. A COLD FRONT WILL BE
PASSING THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY. STILL TIMING DIFFERENCES AMONG
THE MODELS...AND SIDED WITH THE SLOWER SREF AND GFS ENSEMBLE FRONTAL
POSITIONS GIVEN H5 FLOW. WILL HAVE LIKELY POPS FOR MOST OF THE AREA
THURSDAY AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. PWATS AROUND 2.0 WILL ALLOW
FOR SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL. WITH UNCERTAINTY IN THE
TIMING...DECIDED TO KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE POPS INTO THURSDAY EVENING IN
OUR SOUTHERN AREAS. WILL KEEP THE PERIOD FROM FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY
DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. THE HIGH SHOULD
BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. A
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE MOVING SOUTH ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES REGION BY MONDAY...BUT ATTM IT APPEARS THIS SHOULD REMAIN FAR
ENOUGH NORTH TO ALLOW FOR DRY WEATHER IN EASTERN KENTUCKY. SIDED
CLOSER TO HPC GUIDANCE TEMPS...MAKING SOME ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON H10
TO H8 THICKNESSES AND H8 TEMPS FROM THE PREFERRED MODELS.

&&

.AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/

LATEST ROUND OF CONVECTION NOW ENTERING THE CWA WILL CROSS THE TAF
SITES DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH A PERIOD OF
THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL LIKELY LOWER VIS TO IFR AND CIGS TO MVFR
ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS TO 30 KTS. HAVE TIMED THESE ACROSS THE SITES
BETWEEN 18 AND 21Z. IN THE WAKE OF THESE STORMS THE WEATHER WILL
QUIET DOWN AND CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE. EXPECT FOG TO DEVELOP LATE
TONIGHT AT LOZ AND SME WITH CLEARING SKIES AND PLENTY OF GROUND
MOISTURE LEFT FROM THE STORMS. HAVE BROUGHT THESE LOCATIONS DOWN TO
IFR VIS WITH THIS AROUND DAWN. THE FOG WILL CLEAR OUT BY MIDDAY
TUESDAY WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED UNTIL MORE CONVECTION
TRIES TO DEVELOP...HAVE ADDED A CB TO THE CLOUD GROUPS AFTER 14Z FOR
THIS.
