AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
303 AM EDT WED MAR 19 2008

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

...FLASH FLOODING OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY AS
WELL AS GUSTY WINDS OVER CENTRAL KENTUCKY TODAY...

COMPLICATED SHORT TERM PERIOD. CURRENT METAR OBSERVATIONS
INDICATING A NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVERLAID FROM SOUTHWEST
KENTUCKY TO JUST SOUTH OF LOUISVILLE TO SOUTHWEST OH. SEVERAL
WAVES OF ENERGY CREATING ENHANCED AREAS OF RAINFALL HAVE OCCURRED
OVER NIGHT ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. LATEST WAVE MAKING ITS WAY INTO
SOUTHWEST INDIANA AT 645Z. 0Z MODELS INDICATE THAT THE BOUNDARY
WILL START MAKING DECENT EWRD PROGRESS BY 12Z AND EXIT THE
FORECAST AREA (FA) BY 0Z TONIGHT.

AS FOR THE FLOODING ISSUE...4 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL HAS OCCURRED
WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA. SEVERAL
FF WARNINGS OUT AND EXPECT FLOODING TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS. PRECIP WILL BE CONVECTIVE IN NATURE SO WILL
CONTINUE FF VS REGULAR FLOOD WATCH. MAJOR FLOODING IS OCCURRING
ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA SO WILL CONTINUE FF WATCH TILL 20Z
WHEN RAINS WILL FINALLY LIGHTEN BEFORE TAPERING OFF LATE AFTERNOON.
PERSONS IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH SHOULD MONITOR NOAA WX RADIO AND
WWW.WEATHER.GOV/LMK FOR THE LATEST UPDATES.

IN ADDITION TO FLOODING IN THE NRN FA TODAY...THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FA WILL SEE PRETTY GUSTY WINDS AS A GOOD H85
LLJ CROSSES THE AREA SOUTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THIS MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON. IN COORDINATION WITH JKL...HAVE ISSUED A WIND
ADVY FOR COUNTIES IN KY CURRENTLY NOT IN THE FF WATCH. WIND GUSTS
COULD REACH AS HIGH AS 40 TO 45 MPH AHEAD OF CONVECTION AND FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. HIGHER GUSTS CAN BE EXPECT IN THE CONVECTION THIS
MORNING WHICH WE WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON. COULD BE SOME ISLD
SEVERE WINDS.  EXPECT WINDS TO DIE DOWN BY LATE AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...

DUE TO ONGOING SIGNIFICANT FLOODING WITH ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL
AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING...AND A RELATIVELY QUIET
LONG TERM FORECAST PERIOD...MOST OF OUR TIME WAS SPENT ON THE SHORT
TERM FORECAST THIS MORNING. PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS:

WEATHER PATTERN WILL SETTLE DOWN RELATIVELY (COMPARED TO TONIGHT AND
WED) DURING EXTENDED PERIOD ALTHOUGH A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL
HAVE AT LEAST SOME EFFECT ON WEATHER DURING THIS PERIOD.

RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL BE PULLING OUT OF AREA WED EVENING WITH SKY
CLEARING OUT BY THU MORNING. NEXT SYSTEM TO AFFECT AREA WILL BE FRI
AS SHORTWAVE APPROACHES FROM THE NW. GFS IS STRONGER WITH SHORTWAVE
THAN NAM12 AT 84 HRS AND NEW ECMWF RUN. GFS MAY BE ONTO SOMETHING
BUT MAYBE NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS CURRENTLY SHOWN. IN ANY EVENT...SFC
LOW WILL PASS TO OUR NORTH ALLOWING SLY SFC FLOW ON FRI TO WARM
TEMPS DURING AFTERNOON WITH SCT SHOWERS ALONG/AHEAD OF TRAILING SFC
FRONT. GFS SHOWS SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FRI NIGHT BUT WILL HOLD
OFF ON ANY PRECIP GIVEN UNCERTAINLY ON SYSTEM STRENGTH.

NEXT IN SERIES OF SHORTWAVES AFFECTS AREA ON SUNDAY. AGAIN MODEL
DIFFERENCES APPEAR BETWEEN GFS ECMWF AND GEM MODELS. SCT LIGHT
PRECIP AGAIN POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM AS BELOW NORMAL TEMPS (HIGHS
ONLY IN THE 40S) AFFECT AREA. THICKNESS AND H85 TEMPS ON GFS WOULD
SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR SCT LIGHT FROZEN PRECIP ACROSS THE NORTH
ALTHOUGH BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS MAY STAY WARM ENOUGH FOR SCT LIQUID.
ECMWF IS STRONGER WITH SYSTEM WHICH COULD PULL WARMER AIR INTO AREA.
WILL KEEP EYE ON THIS SYSTEM.

FINALLY ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL BRING A CHC OF RAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
WITH ALL THESE SYSTEMS MOVING RAPIDLY ACROSS THE AREA...TIMING AND
STRENGTH OF SYSTEMS WILL VARY FROM RUN TO RUN AND MODEL TO MODEL.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAFS)...

STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN DRAPED FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST
ACROSS KENTUCKY THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. LOW PRESSURE RIDING
UP THE FRONT OUT OF ARKANSAS WILL FINALLY PULL THE FRONT OFF TO THE
EAST LATE THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON.

LARGE AND PERSISTENT AREA OF RAIN WILL SHIFT EASTWARD AND WILL
AFFECT SDF FIRST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND THEN HAVE ITS
GREATEST IMPACT ON BWG AND LEX DURING THE MORNING DAYLIGHT HOURS.
MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE WIDESPREAD WITH THE RAIN. ISOLATED
THUNDER WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING...SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY
MORNING...AS THE ARKANSAS LOW APPROACHES AND GENERATES IMPRESSIVE
LIFT.

WINDS WILL SHIFT RATHER ABRUPTLY AT BWG AND LEX WITH THE PASSAGE OF
THE LOW AND ITS FRONT. RIGHT NOW AM COUNTING ON SDF STAYING NORTH OF
THE FRONT AND WILL KEEP A NORTHERLY COMPONENT IN ITS WINDS...THOUGH
AT 05Z THE FRONT WAS ONLY ABOUT 15 MILES SOUTH OF THE AIRPORT. SOUTH
OF THE FRONT WINDS WERE SOUTHERLY WITH GUSTS TO NEARLY 30
KNOTS...WHILE NORTH OF THE FRONT WINDS WERE NORTHERLY AROUND 10
KNOTS.

DESPITE THE STRONG SURFACE WINDS...SOME LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR CAN
STILL BE EXPECTED AT BWG THIS MORNING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET STREAMS
OVERHEAD. BORDERLINE SHEAR CONDITIONS AT LEX...WILL LEAVE OUT FOR
NOW.

RAIN WILL TAPER OFF TOWARDS EVENING AND LOW CLOUDS SHOULD SCATTER
OUT TONIGHT.
