AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1030 PM EST TUE FEB 5 2008
...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...
.UPDATE...
MAIN STORY IS THE SUPERCELL APPROACHING DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE, TN...BUT
FOR US SQUALL LINE IS APPROACHING RAPIDLY AND IS IN DUBOIS COUNTY.
LATEST FT KNOX VWP HAS ABOUT 20 DEGREES OF BACKING AS UPPER JET
TRAVERSES EASTWARD. LIS ARE STILL -2 TO -3...AND WIND FIELDS ARE IN
THE EXTREME CATEGORY. MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS WITH THIS
LINE...BUT WE ARE WATCHING CELL MERGERS WITH WAA PRECIP MOVING ALONG
AND AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE WHICH COULD ACCENT THE TOR THREAT.
MEANWHILE...ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS IN DUBOIS COUNTY ARE WET...AND IT
WONT TAKE MUCH MORE TO FLOOD. WE EXPECT 1 TO 1 AND ONE HALF INCHES
OF RAIN OVER NEXT SEVER HOURS. WE ISSUED FFWS FOR DUBOIS AND ORANGE
COUNTIES WITH LEWP MOVING EAST.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 926 PM EST TUE FEB 5 2008/
FOR US AN IMPRESSIVE TORNADIC SUPERCELL JUST PAST OHIO COUNTY SEAT
OF HARTFORD WHERE SIRENS ARE BLOWING. NO REPORTS YET OF ANY DAMAGE
IN OHIO COUNTY...WITH FUNNEL CLOUD REPORT FROM TRAINED SPOTTER.
THIS STORM HAS A HISTORY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES WITH IT.
LOW LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO STIFFEN AND WILL BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR
TO HEAVY RAIN OVER SRN INDIAN FROM AROUND MIDNIGHT INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE ARE 3 MORE SUPERCELLS OVER CENTRAL AND
WESTERN TN WILL BE THE OTHER CONCERN AS THEY WORK OFF TO THE NE AT
40 MPH.
INSTABILITY STILL REMAINS MODEST AND WITH 0-3 SRH VALUES ON LATEST
ACARS SOUNDING AT BNA NEAR 800 M2/S2. THE HODOGRAPH FROM THAT
AIRCRAFT IS VERY TWISTY AND ONCE AGAIN FEEL THE PRIMARY TOR THREAT
IS FOR AREAS MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF I65.

..SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE LIKELY ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...
AFTERNOON VIS SAT IMAGERY SHOWING BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER ACROSS
SOUTHERN KENTUCKY. MORNING CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH RETREATING
WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO MIGRATE NORTHWARD AND AWAY FROM
THE AREA. A FEW AREA OF SCT SHOWERS REMAIN ACROSS KENTUCKY WITH
MORE DEVELOPMENT TAKING PLACE ACROSS SW TN. QUITE A GRADIENT IN
TEMPERATURES NOTED ACROSS THE REGION WITH READINGS IN THE LOW TO MID
50S NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER TO UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S ACROSS FAR
SOUTHERN KENTUCKY.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS ACROSS THE REGION SHOWS DESTABILIZATION IN
PROGRESS MAINLY WEST OF I-65 THIS AFTERNOON. COMBINATION OF SFC
TEMPS IN THE UPPER 60S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S HAS YIELDED
SFC LIFTED INDICES OF -2C TO -3C WITH CAPES OF 300-800 J/KG. CAPES
GREATER THAN 1000 J/KG EXISTS WEST OF THE LMK CWA WHERE MORE SUN HAS
HELPED INCREASE INSTABILITY. SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS STARTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN TN AND FAR SW KY. LATEST MODEL DATA SUGGESTS
THAT SCATTERED/DISCRETE CONVECTION WILL LIKELY FIRE ACROSS OUR
WESTERN SECTIONS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS DEVELOPMENT MAY BE QUICK AS
THE MODELS TEND TO UNDER FORECAST CONVECTION DEVELOPMENT. GIVEN THE
DEEP LAYER SHEAR...SOME SUPERCELLULAR STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ALONG WITH STORMS WITH BOWING SEGMENTS. THUS...ISOLATED
TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
LATE TONIGHT...CONVECTION WELL TO OUR WEST IS FORECAST TO CONGEAL
INTO A LARGE SQUALL LINE THAT WILL MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE OHIO
VALLEY. THE MODEL TREND IN THE LAST 24 HOURS HAS BEEN TO SLOW DOWN
THE SYSTEM. IN FACT...EVEN THE LATEST RUC SOLUTIONS ARE A BIT
SLOWER. GIVEN THE DATA RIGHT NOW...LARGE SQUALL LINE SHOULD MOVE
INTO OUR WESTERN AREAS BY LATE EVENING...PERHAPS AROUND 10-11 PM
EST. THE CORRIDOR BETWEEN SDF AND BWG WOULD LIKELY TAKE A HIT
BETWEEN 11-2 AM EST WITH THE FRANKFORT AND LEXINGTON AREAS SEEING
THE ACTION PROBABLY AFTER 3AM EST. MAIN THREAT WITH THIS LINE WILL
BE DAMAGING WINDS WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE EMBEDDED WITHIN
THE MAIN LINE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE A HEAVY RAIN/FLOOD THREAT
ACROSS OUR INDIANA COUNTIES DUE TO PREVIOUS CONVECTION ACROSS THE
REGION THIS MORNING. WITH AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO AS MUCH AS 2 INCHES
POSSIBLE TONIGHT...WILL EXTEND THE FLOOD WATCH ACROSS OUR INDIANA
COUNTIES THROUGH 700 AM WED.
COLD FRONT WILL SURGE EASTWARD AND OUT OF THE AREA BY WED MORNING
FOLLOWED BY A FALL IN TEMPERATURES. SCT SHOWERS CONTINUE TO LOOK
POSSIBLE AS H5 THERMAL TROF MOVES INTO THE REGION. GRADIENT WINDS
WILL BE A BIT ON THE HIGH SIDE IN THE MORNING...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE
IN EXCEEDING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA IS NOT VERY HIGH...SO PLAN ON
HOLDING OFF ON THAT HEADLINE.
LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...
RELATIVELY BENIGN WEATHER IN STORE FOR THE LONG TERM AS MORE COOLER
AIR REMAINS IN PLACE FOLLOWING FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW. EVEN SO...TEMPERATURES AT OR ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS FOR
REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK BEFORE A SECOND SURGE ARCTIC AIR MAKES
ITS WAY IN FOR THE WEEKEND WITH A CLIPPER CURRENTLY PROGGED TO HAVE
A BIGGER IMPACT ON THE EAST COAST THAN THE OHIO VALLEY.
AT THIS TIME THE WEEKEND SYSTEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO OFFER MUCH MORE
THAN A DUSTING OF SNOW SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER...BUT SOME
MEASURABLE SNOWFALL COULD OCCUR IN SOUTHERN INDIANA. HOWEVER...TOO
FAR OUT AT THIS TIME FOR HIGH CONFIDENCE.
MAX TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL SEE SAW FROM 40S THURSDAY TO LOWER
50S FRIDAY...THEN BACK DOWN TO 30S ON SATURDAY BEFORE RETURNING TO
NEAR 50 BY TUESDAY.
MIN TEMPS BOTTOM OUT IN THE TEENS SUN AND 20S MONDAY...OTHERWISE
MAINLY IN THE 30S.
&&
.AVIATION (00Z TAFS)...
ATMOSPHERE IS DESTABILIZING WITH LI/S -3 TO -4 TO OUR WEST. LINES OF
STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTEND FROM WESTERN TN NORTH INTO
WESTERN KENTUCKY. STORMS ARE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST AND WILL BE
IMPACTING BWG AND SDF LATER THIS EVENING. UNTIL THEN CIGS AND VSBYS
WILL REMAIN VFR. EXPECT TSTMS TO MOVE INTO BWG AFT 02Z WITH ISOLATED
SHOWERS POSSIBLE UNTIL THEN. STORMS SHOULD REACH SDF AFTER 04Z THEN
ABOUT 06Z AT LEX. EXPECT GUSTS TO 50 TO 60 KTS OR MORE IN SEVERE
STORMS. A SECOND LINE WILL FOLLOW WITH THE COLD FRONT LATER TONIGHT.
CIGS AND VSBYS IN THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MVFR AND BRIEFLY IN VFR
RANGE. FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH WITH CIGS AND VSBYS IMPROVING BACK TO
VFR WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL STAY GUSTY DURING THE
DAY BEHIND THE FRONT.
