AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
116 PM EDT FRI APR 11 2008

.MORNING UPDATE...

A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST INTO THE COUNTIES
NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. THE STORMS CONTAIN VERY HEAVY RAIN
AND A GOOD BIT OF LIGHTNING ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS. THESE STORMS
WERE PART OF A LONG LINE OF STORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
THAT EXTENDED FROM CENTRAL ILLINOIS TO WESTERN KENTUCKY THEN SOUTH
INTO TEXAS. HAVE INCREASED THE CHANCES OF RAIN THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON FOR THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. REST OF
FORECAST REMAINS UNCHANGED.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...

...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TO CONTINUE THIS MORNING AND THEN ANOTHER
SHOT OF SEVERE WEATHER AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON EAST OF I-65...

7Z RADAR TRENDS SHOWING STRONG STORMS OVER FORECAST AREA (FA) WITH A
FEW SEVERE STORMS IN SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY.  EXPECT THE THREAT FOR
SEVERE STORMS TO CONTINUE ALONG THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH MAINLY OVER
THE KENTUCKY COUNTIES.  THERE HAS ALSO BEEN SOME FLASH FLOODING AND
SOME FLOOD ADVISORIES ISSUED OVER OUR SW INDIANA COUNTIES.  EXPECT
THAT ANY FLOODING THREAT IN THESE COUNTIES WILL SOON BE COMING TO AN
END SOON HOWEVER AS STORMS ARE MOVING EAST OF THE AREA.

THE CURRENT LINE OF STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO REMAIN STRONG THROUGH
12Z WITH A SLIGHT SEVERE THREAT TO CONTINUE.  THE MAIN THREAT WOULD
BE DAMAGING WINDS.  THEN WE SHOULD HAVE A LULL IN ACTIVITY AFTER
THIS LINE GETS THROUGH UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON.  AS THE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES...A NEW LINE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON ALONG THIS FEATURE.  THERE IS A CHANCE THAT STORMS WOULD
BE SEVERE...HOWEVER THIS SHOULD IMPACT MAINLY AREAS EAST OF I-65.
THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL AGAIN BE DAMAGING WINDS
ALTHOUGH MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL IS POSSIBLE.

THE FRONT SHOULD BE EAST OF THE FA BY 0Z TO 3Z TONIGHT ENDING PRECIP
ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL REMAIN QUITE STRONG.  COULD SEE GUSTS UP TO 35
TO 40 MPH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION WAS USED DUE TO ON-GOING SEVERE
WEATHER:

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

MAIN CONCERN FOR THE LONGER TERM WITH SHOWERS OCCURRING IN THE
MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT WILL SPREAD ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY SATURDAY INTO MONDAY.
AFTER THE COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON...COOLER
AIR WILL BEGIN TO FLOW INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. IN ADDITION DRIER
AIR WILL BRING A TEMPORARY END TO THE SHOWERS FOR PARTS OF FRIDAY
NIGHT.  EXPECT THE DRY SLOT TO REMAIN OVER MUCH OF THE AREA FRIDAY
NIGHT AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF SATURDAY MORNING.  HOWEVER AS THE
UPPER TROUGH ROTATES SOUTH TOWARD THE OHIO RIVER SATURDAY
MORNING...CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AND SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL ONCE AGAIN
DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE SHOWERS WILL
DECREASE SOME DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BUT A SECOND TROUGH WILL
TRIGGER AND INCREASE IN SHOWERS ON SUNDAY.  THIS UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
WILL SLOWLY EXIT THE REGION ON MONDAY.

TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY WILL BE NOTICEABLY COOLER THAN FRIDAY/S
MILD READINGS...WITH HIGHS ON SATURDAY ONLY IN THE LOWER AND MID
50S. BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WILL MAKE THE AIR FEEL
EVEN COLDER.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER AROUND 50 DEGREES AGAIN SUNDAY AND
MONDAY WITH MORNING LOWS IN THE MID 30S.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AND
WILL GRADUALLY TRACK EAST ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTH CENTRAL
INDIANA. THE HIGH WILL SETTLE OFF THE GEORGIA AND CAROLINA COAST ON
THURSDAY AND THIS SHOULD KEEP THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY DRY FOR SEVERAL
DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOL THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK WITH
TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK INTO THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S BY
THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAFS)...

MAIN TAF CONCERN WILL BE THE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND TIMING
THE COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA.

THE MOST MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR IS OR WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PARTS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND THIS COULD EXTEND UP TOWARD LEX LATER.
SCATTERED SMALL CELLS CONTINUE BEHIND THIS AREA FROM NEAR SDF SOUTH
TOWARD BWG. WILL KEEP MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS IN FORECAST UNTIL
AFTER A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. AT 17Z COLD FRONT WAS NEAR A EVV
TO HOP LINE WITH DEW POINTS LOWERING BEHIND THIS LINE. WINDS BECOME
MORE WESTERLY OVER THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE STATE.

MOST CIGS AND VSBYS WILL BE VFR ACROSS THE SOUTH WITH 2-3 THSD FOOT
CIGS TO THE NORTH. FRONT SHOULD MOVE EAST OF TAF SITES BY 00Z WITH
SKIES CLEARING WITHIN A FEW HOURS AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.

AFTER A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL ROTATE INTO
THE AREA TOWARD THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. EXPECT CIGS TO LOWET
TO 2-3 THSD FT.
