...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 815 AM EDT/715 AM
CDT/ FOR GREEN...TAYLOR...CASEY...LINCOLN...BOYLE...MARION...GARRARD
AND MADISON COUNTIES...

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO 
STANFORD...RICHMOND...LEBANON...LANCASTER AND DANVILLE.

THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION. FLASH FLOODING WILL BECOME MORE 
WIDESPREAD BY SUNRISE.

AT 350 AM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO 
INDICATE TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL 
...EXPECTED TO REACH MARION...TAYLOR AND GREEN COUNTY BY 5 AM EDT 
AND BOYLE...CASEY...LINCOLN...GARRARD AND MADISON BY 6 AM. ANOTHER 1 
TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN WILL FALL BY SUNRISE. 

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
121 AM EDT FRI APR 4 2008

.UPDATE...

AREAL FLOOD WARNING IN PLACE ACROSS SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES WITH
FLOOD ADVISORY FOR OHIO...GRAYSON...HART...EDMONSON...AND BUTLER TO
ACCOUNT FOR MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL MOVING THROUGH AT THIS TIME.
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA AS WELL.

MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE
ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY...WITH EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL
KENTUCKY SEEING A BREAK FROM PRECIPITATION. AREA OF WELL DEVELOPED
STORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS MOVING INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA IN THE
NEXT HOUR OR TWO WILL BRING FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAIN TO SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA THROUGH MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
THE AREAS IMMEDIATELY NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE RIVER MAY SEE 1 TO 2
INCHES OF RAIN IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH SOME AREAS UNDER
HEAVIEST RAIN IN THUNDERSTORMS POTENTIALLY SEEING UPWARDS OF 3
INCHES. LARGE CHUNKS OF THAT RAINFALL WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN SHORT
PERIODS OF TIME EARLY TONIGHT...WITH A TRANSITION TO A MORE STEADY
AND LIGHTER RAINFALL OCCURRING IN THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING HOURS.  FLOODING POTENTIAL IS CERTAINLY STILL THERE AND WILL
CONTINUE FLOOD WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.

RAIN WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT SOUTH IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS WELL WITH
1 TO 2 INCHES ADDITIONAL POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA
AS WELL THROUGH FRIDAY.

MINOR UPDATES TO THE FORECAST THIS EVENING...TO INDICATE SOME
PRECIPITATION GRADIENT FROM RAINING ALL NIGHT IN THE NORTH...TO
HAVING A FEW HOURS OF QUIET WEATHER EARLY IN THE SOUTH.

OTHERWISE...PREVIOUS GRIDS AND ZONES ON TRACK FOR THE TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW PERIODS.

&&

.PREVIOUS FORECAST...

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...

FLOOD WATCH STILL IN EFFECT FOR ENTIRE AREA.

EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON AN AREA OF RAIN MOVED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
KENTUCKY BRINGING WIDESPREAD 1 TO 1/2 INCHES OF RAIN ALONG AND SOUTH
OF THE CUMBERLAND PARKWAY.

IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS KANSAS...LOW
PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS MISSOURI THIS EVENING. AT 3 PM...A WARM
FRONT STRETCHED SOUTHEAST OF THIS LOW ACROSS THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL
AND ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN TENNESSEE. THIS FRONT WILL ATTEMPT TO MOVE
NORTH OVERNIGHT AND MAY MOVE AS FAR NORTH AS CENTRAL KENTUCKY BY THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS.

LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL PROVIDE A BRIEF RESPITE FROM
THE RAIN AS SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTH WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY
LATE AFTERNOON.

STRONG CONVECTION OVER MISSOURI WILL WEAKEN...BUT STILL PROVIDE
PLENTY OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.

IN MY OPINION...THE NAM IS TOO FAR NORTH WITH BOTH THE PATH OF THE
SURFACE LOW AND THE AXIS OF THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION...FORECASTING
AN ADDITIONAL 2 OR MORE INCHES IN A SWATH ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA.
THE 12Z GFS HAS A MORE ACCURATE PREDICTION OF BOTH THE TRACK OF THE
SURFACE LOW (RIGHT ALONG THE OHIO RIVER) AND THE FARTHER SOUTH TRACK
OF THE HEAVIEST  PRECIPITATION. AGREE WITH HPCS FORECAST PRECIP
AMOUNTS OF 1 1/2 TO 2/ 1/2 ADDITIONAL INCHES CENTERED ALONG A TRACK
FROM PERHAPS BOWLING GREEN THROUGH THE BLUEGRASS REGION. ACCORDING
TO THIS...SOUTHERN INDIANA MAY MISS THE HEAVIER RAINFALL THAT WILL
FALL SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER.

IN ANY CASE EXPECT RAIN WITH SCATTERED THUNDER TO ARRIVE TOWARDS
MIDNIGHT.

TEMPERATURES WILL RISE OVERNIGHT ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER...WITH THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES OCCURING TOWARDS THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. SHOULD THE WARM FRONT MAKE IT INTO CENTRAL
KENTUCKY...SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 10 TO 20 MPH ACROSS OUR
SOUTHERN COUNTIES.

SHOWERS WILL TEND TO DIMINISH FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE
AFTERNOON TOMORROW. A SECOND WAVE WILL DEVELOP LATE TOMORROW ACROSS
TENNESSEE. AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EARLY SATURDAY INTO SOUTHEASTERN
KENTUCKY..SHOWERS MAY LINGER ACROSS OUR SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES
THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY.

WITH NORTHWEST WINDS DEVELOPING LATE FRIDAY...COOLER AIR WILL LOWER
TEMPERATURES EARLY SATURDAY INTO THE 40S.

LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

A DRY ZONAL PATTERN WILL SET UP FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE
EXTENDED...FOLLOWED BY A TRANSITION TO A WARMER AND MORE ACTIVE
PATTERN MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...

THE FRONT WILL BE EAST OF OUR CWA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
WEEKEND...WHICH WILL BRING A MUCH NEEDED DRY COUPLE OF DAYS. TEMPS
WILL BE A LITTLE ON THE COOL SIDE FOR SATURDAY...WITH TEMPS
REBOUNDING INTO THE MID 50S N TO THE LOW 60S S. HOWEVER BY SUNDAY
WITH ZONAL FLOW IN FULL EFFECT AND SFC WINDS SHIFTING AROUND TO THE
SE...TEMPS WILL BE VERY NICE WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S.

MONDAY-TUESDAY...

BY THE WORK WEEK...TROUGHING INITIATES OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN
WEST...WITH SWRLY FLOW OVER OUR REGION. A WEAK SFC LOW OVER THE
GREAT LAKES TRIES TO DRAG A WEAK FRONT ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...IT
APPEARS TO MOSTLY WASH OUT WITH THE 12Z GFS RUN...SO HAVE BACKED OFF
ON POPS TO JUST SLT CHC OVER THE NNE PART OF THE CWA. NOT EVEN SURE
I WILL KEEP THOSE POPS IN THERE OR NOW.

HOWEVER DURING THIS TIME...A STRONGER SYSTEM APPEARS TO DEVELOP OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS AHEAD OF THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGHING. THIS
SYSTEM WOULD AFFECT OUR REGION BY LATE TUESDAY. IF THE TROUGH DIGS
TOO MUCH...THIS LOW WILL TRAVEL MORE TOWARD THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES...MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR THE SYSTEM TO DRAG A COLD FRONT
ACROSS OUR AREA. BUT RIGHT NOW...THE GFS SHOWS A POTENT LOW WITH THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE CWA BY TUESDAY...GENERALLY LATER IN THE
DAY. AHEAD OF THIS...TUESDAY SHOULD BE VERY WARM AND WINDY...WITH
HIGHS IN THE LOW 70S. THIS COLD FRONT COULD BRING POSSIBLY STRONG
T-STORMS ACROSS THE AREA...BUT IT IS TOO EARLY TO TELL FOR SURE.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY...

AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH...CONTINUED POPS OVER THE EASTERN CWA.
HOWEVER OUR SW FLOW CONTINUES BEHIND THE FRONT SO NOT EXPECTING A
COOL DOWN. IN FACT...ANOTHER SYSTEM RIGHT ON ITS TOES APPROACHES THE
CWA LATE THURSDAY...AND THIS ALSO LOOKS LIKE IT HAS POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE STRONG T-STORMS THRS-THRS NIGHT. AGAIN ITS TOO EARLY TO GET
CUTE WITH THOSE DETAILS...BUT FROM TUESDAY ON...WE ARE LOOKING AT A
WARM AND WET SPRING-LIKE PATTERN.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAFS)...

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF CENTRAL
KENTUCKY AND SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA. AT 05Z SDF AND LEX TAF SITES
AFFECTED WITH THE BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LYING TO THE
NORTH OF BWG. THUNDERSTORMS OVER FAR WEST KENTUCKY CONTINUE TO TRAIN
TO THE NORTHEAST INTO AREAS CURRENTLY RECEIVING HEAVY RAIN. RAIN
BAND WILL INCH SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH LATER TONIGHT WITH BWG GETTING
BACK INTO THE RAIN AREA DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

CIGS AND VSBYS WILL VARY CONSIDERABLY FROM LIFR IN THUNDERSTORMS
WITH HEAVY RAIN TO MVFR IN AREAS WITH LIGHTER RAIN. EXPECT RAPID
CHANGES IN CIGS AND VSBYS IN THE HEAVY RAIN AREA. WIND DIRECTION AND
SPEED WILL ALSO BE VARIABLE AS THUNDERSTORMS MOVE ACROSS AIRPORTS.

THE RAIN BAND WAS OCCURRING NORTH OF A WARM FRONT THAT WAS WORKING
ITS WAY NORTH INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY AT 05Z. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE
NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT AND WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT SOUTHEAST
ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY DURING THE AFTERNOON. AS THE FRONT DROPS
SOUTHEAST THE HEAVIER RAIN AREA WILL DROP TO THE SOUTHEAST WITH RAIN
OVER THE NORTH BECOMING MUCH LIGHTER. BEHIND THE FRONT CIGS AND
VSBYS WILL BE IFR AND WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO MVFR DURING THE
LATTER PART OF THE TAF PERIOD.
