Area forecast discussion, May 11, 7:45 AM EDT, 3 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 745 AM EDT SUN MAY 11 2008 .SHORT TERM.../TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/ A DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM IS LOOKING RATHER IMPRESSIVE ON THE SURFACE CHART. AT 06Z...A STRONG 991 MB LOW WAS OVER WESTERN ILLINOIS...WITH A COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTH INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY TO MISSISSIPPI. THE CONVECTION OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT HAS LOST MUCH OF ITS LIGHTNING OVER KENTUCKY...WITH THE CONVECTION OVER TENNESSEE AND POINTS SOUTH THE MOST IMPRESSIVE. EXPECTING SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO WORK EAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING. SHOWERS WERE ALREADY IN THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA. AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST TODAY WE SHOULD SEE REDEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL TODAY...WITH CAPES RANGING FROM NEAR 1000 TO 2000 J/KG...AND LI/S -2 TO -4 AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. A DRY SLOT BETWEEN THE PREFRONTAL PRECIP AND THE FRONT ITSELF SHOULD HELP THE ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZE AS WELL. WILL MENTION A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS IN THE FORECAST AND IN THE HWO. WITH GOOD SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR...AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT AS WELL. EVEN OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS...EXPECTING OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH OVER MUCH OF THE AREA WITH STRONG WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE. WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR OUR AREA RUNNING FROM 10 AM THROUGH 8 PM THIS EVENING. WILL STILL SEE SOME DECENT GUSTS IN THE HIGHEST TERRAIN THIS EVENING IN THE EAST...BUT THESE SHOULD BE BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA WIND SPEEDS. H5 LOW WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND LIFT WILL BE MOVING INTO THE AREA LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT...AND WILL GO WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR SHOWERS. THE LOW WILL SLOWLY EXIT MONDAY AND MONDAY EVENING...WITH POPS GRADUALLY TAPERING DOWN DURING THIS PERIOD. TUESDAY SHOULD BE DRY AND MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN. .LONG TERM.../TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/ STILL SOME DISAGREEMENT IN THE MODELS LATER IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. IN GENERAL...FOLLOWED A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE ECMWF...WHICH WAS ALSO CLOSER TO THE EARLIER HPC MANUAL PROGS. EXPECTING A COLD FRONT TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY...AND HAVE INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY FOR THIS PERIOD. THE FRONT SHOULD BE MOVING JUST EAST OF THE AREA LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...AS A WAVE DEVELOPS ALONG IT. WILL TAPER POPS DOWN TO THE CHANCE RANGE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH THIS SYSTEM CLOSE BY. WILL NOT MENTION OF THUNDER THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...AS WE SHOULD BE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM AND SLOW MOVING FRONTAL WAVES. WILL KEEP THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST HOWEVER. PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS WITH EXACT POSITION OF THE FRONT AND WAVES. && .AVIATION.../12Z TO 12Z/...UPDATED DAYLIGHT SHOULD PROMPT A MORE MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER SO HAVE DROPPED THE WIND SHEAR WITH THIS ISSUANCE AND ADDED GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KTS TO THE TAFS. A DEVELOPING COLD FRONT IS SPINNING TOWARD EASTERN KENTUCKY AND THIS SHOULD BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. HAVE TIMED THESE ACROSS THE CWA FROM MID MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. THE STORMS WILL CONTAIN CIGS AND VIS DOWN TOWARD IFR WHILE THE WIND GUSTS BECOME MORE ROBUST. FOLLOWING THE FRONT...LINGERED THE POSSIBILITY OF A STRAY THUNDERSTORM BEFORE SUNSET. LATER THIS EVENING EXPECT THE WINDS TO SETTLE DOWN SOMEWHAT FROM THE WEST TO NORTHWEST BUT STILL OCCASIONAL GUST. ALSO HAVE BROUGHT THE PREVAILING CIGS DOWN WITH ONGOING LIGHT SHOWERS BENEATH THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE STRONG AND DEEP SFC LOW PRESSURE AREA PULLING OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
