AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
312 PM EDT FRI JUN 13 2008

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND SATURDAY)...

VERY MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE AHEAD OF APPROACHING FRONTAL BOUNDARY
AND NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE CWA. PWATS
ARE NEARING TWO INCHES...SO VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCING STORMS
ARE THE MAIN THREAT. A SECONDARY THREAT WITH THE STORMS WOULD BE
ISOLATED WET MICROBURSTS BUT ACTIVITY LOOKS TO BE WANING AT THE
MOMENT THOUGH IT WILL CONTINUE. CONVECTION IS ALIGNED ROUGHLY ALONG
1-65 AND WILL AFFECT POINTS THERE AND EASTWARD. MAIN FOCUS WILL
SWITCH TO FRONTAL CONVECTION.

NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED ALONG THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TO THE WEST. EVEN THOUGH OUR ATMOSPHERE IS WORKED OVER FROM
CURRENT CONVECTION...BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ARE SEEN AHEAD OF THIS SO
SOME RECOVERY WILL TAKE PLACE. THUS THINK THE LINE WILL HOLD
TOGETHER TONIGHT WITH ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND TORRENTIAL RAINS
AGAIN BEING THE MAIN THREATS. THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE ACROSS
NORTHERN KY AND SOUTHERN IN...ESPECIALLY WEST OF 65 WHERE THE MOST
RECOVERY WILL TAKE PLACE. ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL MAY BE
POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY FOR OUR INDIANA COUNTIES OVERNIGHT. LOWS
OVERNIGHT WILL BE IN THE 60S TO AROUND 70.

DID NOT MAKE TOO MANY CHANGES TO THE SATURDAY FORECAST. FRONTAL
BOUNDARY SHOULD BE ALIGNED THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE CWA BY 12Z
SATURDAY. SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD BE ONGOING ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. CLEARING WILL TAKE PLACE AND DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN
BEHIND THE FRONT WITH PLEASANT CONDITIONS SETTLING IN FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF SATURDAY. HOWEVER THE BLUEGRASS REGION MAY BE SLOWER TO
CLEAR. HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE IN THE LOW 80S.

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)...

RELATIVELY QUIET EXTENDED PERIOD EXPECTED WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR
NORMAL AND ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...

COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CWA (COUNTY WARNING AREA) ON
SATURDAY RETURNING TEMPERATURES TO MORE SEASONAL VALUES WITH HIGHS
IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD COME TO AN END BEFORE
SATURDAY NIGHT SO KEPT SAT NIGHT DRY. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE
WILL TRACK ACROSS THE CWA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY BRINGING ANOTHER
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND A REINFORCING SHOT OF A COOLER AND
DRIER AIRMASS.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

DRY NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER THE CWA THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE PERIOD KEEPING CONDITIONS DRY AND TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL
WITH HIGHS IN THE 80S AND LOWS FROM THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAFS)...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG A RESIDUAL
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WEST OF A LINE FROM IND TO BWG. AMPLE GULF MOISTURE
WILL HELP INCREASE THE COVERAGE OF THESE STORMS SO WILL BE INSERTING
TSRA INTO BWG AND SDF TAFS NOW. STILL THINK IT WILL BE A FEW HOURS
BEFORE ANYTHING OCCURS AT THE LEX TERMINAL BUT WILL AT LEAST HAVE
VCSH OR VCTS THERE AS WELL. ANY STORM WOULD PRODUCE 1-2SM VSBYS WITH
GUSTY WINDS TO 30 KTS OR MORE BUT WILL NOT INCLUDE IN THE
TAFS/TEMPOS.

OFF AND ON SHOWERS/STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. PRECIP MAY
END AS EARLY AS 12Z SATURDAY AT BWG AND SDF...BUT WILL CONTINUE AT
LEX THEREAFTER.
