AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
203 PM EST THU JAN 10 2008

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...

SHORT-TERM FORECAST MAINLY REVOLVES AROUND THE AMOUNT OF QPF AND
STRENGTH OF STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND TIMING THE END
OF THE PRECIP OVERNIGHT.

THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

CURRENTLY...SFC LOW OVER WRN MO IS QUICKLY MOVING ENE AHEAD OF UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH (85 KTS AT 500MB) SEEN IN WV IMAGERY. ANOTHER JET FROM
TEXAS UP TO SW INDIANA OF 75 KTS IS HELPING TO SUSTAIN CONVECTION
ALONG AND AHEAD OF WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WHICH IS ALIGNED VERY
NEAR THE TN/KY BORDER ATTM. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE
OCCURRING OVER THE CWA...WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL ALONG AND SOUTH
OF A LEX TO E-TOWN TO MORGANTOWN LINE. RAINFALL RATES OF AN
INCH/HOUR WILL BE LIKELY WITH THE HEAVIEST CELLS. N/NW HALF OF THE
CWA WILL EXPERIENCE THIS COOL SIDE SHOWER/T-STORM ACTIVITY FOR THE
REST OF THE DAY. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND AN
INCH...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF TWO INCHES OR MORE POSSIBLE BY
THE END OF THE DAY. SMALL HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE
STORMS NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. ANY LOCATIONS IN SRN KY THAT GET
INTO WARM SECTOR WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE CLOUDY SKIES...BUT WILL SEE
DEWPOINTS JUMP TO THE MID-UPPER 50S AND GUSTY SSW WINDS OF 20 KTS OR
SO.

MORE SIGNIFICANT MAY BE THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER THIS EVENING.
OUR SRN/SERN CWA MAY EXPERIENCE A FEW HOURS OF SFC-BASED INSTABILITY
BETWEEN ROUGHLY FROM NOW TO 10PM EST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. TORNADO
WATCHES HAVE BEEN ISSUED AS FAR NORTH AS THE TN/KY BORDER. NAM/GFS
SFC LIS OF -2 TO -3 DEGREES C ARE PROGGED TO ENTER OUR CWA MAINLY
ALONG AND EAST OF I-65 IN KY. STORMS IN TN MOVING INTO KY HAVE
LOW-TOPPED SUPER-CELLULAR SHAPE ALREADY. THUS...THINK A SVR THREAT
EXISTS OVER MAINLY OUR SERN CWA FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL UP TO
THE SIZE OF QUARTERS IN THE DEEPEST ROTATING UPDRAFTS. PERHAPS AN
ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE CLOSE TO THE TN BORDER IN FAR SERN KY
AROUND THE WARM FRONT.

COLD FRONT PASSAGE SHOULD BE THROUGH THE WRN CWA AROUND
02Z...THROUGH THE CENTRAL CWA (ROUGHLY SALEM IN TO LOUISVILLE DOWN
TO SCOTTSVILLE KY) AROUND 04Z...AND THEN THROUGH THE ERN CWA AROUND
06-07Z (WILL END MAIN POPS WITH THESE PASSAGE TIMES AS WELL). SFC
WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE SUSTAINED FROM 10-20 MPH...WITH GUSTS UP TO
30 MPH AHEAD OF...ALONG AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL VEER
TO THE WEST WITH CONDITIONS REMAINING CLOUDY OVERNIGHT. MAY INCLUDE
DRIZZLE AS WELL. TEMPS WILL PLUMMET BEHIND THE FRONT IN THE UPPER
30S WEST TO LOWER 40S EAST. COULD GET COLD ENOUGH FOR FLURRIES OVER
THE NW AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT WITH CLOUDS AROUND...THINK THE TEMPS MAY
HOLD HIGH ENOUGH FOR JUST DRIZZLE FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER MDNGT.

FRIDAY-FRIDAY NIGHT...

A MUCH DRIER AND CALMER DAY IS ON TAP FOR TOMORROW. HOWEVER THE DAY
WILL START OFF CLOUDY WITH LOW STRATUS AROUND. WITH HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION MOVING NEWD INTO THE REGION...CLOUDS WILL
BE SLOW TO ERODE FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE AFTERNOON. SFC WINDS WILL
BE FROM THE WEST-SOUTHWEST ABOUT 10-15 MPH...BUT WITH CLOUDS
AROUND...TEMPS WONT WARM UP TOO MUCH. LOOK FOR HIGHS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 40S. SKIES WILL CLEAR AND WINDS WILL CALM FRIDAY NIGHT. TEMPS
WILL LIKELY DROP TO AROUND 30 FOR LOWS.

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

ON SATURDAY MORNING A TROUGH OVER THE PLAINS STATES WILL BE
DEEPENING AND TRANSLATING EAST INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY SUNDAY
MORNING. THIS WILL TRIGGER THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SURFACE LOW OVER
ILLINOIS AND ANOTHER LOW ALONG THE GULF COAST. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE
THE MAIN ONE OF CONCERN DURING THE LONG TERM. TWO OTHER
PRECIPITATION AREAS WILL AFFECT CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTH CENTRAL
INDIANA DURING THE LONGER TERM. THE SECOND SYSTEM WILL BE A SHORT
WAVE TROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AND THE THIRD WILL BE ANOTHER
LONG WAVE TROUGH BRINGING RAIN INTO THE AREA TOWARD THE END OF THE
PERIOD.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE GULF COAST AS A LONG WAVE TROUGH
MOVES EAST FROM THE PLAINS. AS THE GULF LOW DEEPENS AN INVERTED
TROUGH WILL DEVELOP NORTH OF A LOW IN ILLINOIS. CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL
INCREASE DURING THE DAY TO OUR WEST AND MOVE INTO THE WESTERN PARTS
OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE EVENING AND INTO THE EAST BY MORNING.
THE LOWER LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL STAY WARM THROUGH THE
DAYTIME ON SUNDAY WITH THE RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT. ON
MONDAY SOME LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE AND WILL BECOME MIXED WITH RAIN
AT TIMES DURING THE AFTERNOON.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

A FEW FLURRIES WILL LINGER MONDAY NIGHT AS MOISTURE REMAINS HIGH IN
THE LOWER LEVELS BETWEEN THE SYSTEM EXITING ON MONDAY AND THE NEXT
SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING IN ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO END OVER THE SOUTHWEST BY TUESDAY MORNING
WITH THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH AFFECTING MAINLY THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS
OF THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS...CHANGING TO LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS IN THE
AFTERNOON.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING A RAIN FREE PERIOD TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT ANOTHER TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST THEN INTO
THE PLAINS STATES ON THURSDAY. ANOTHER LOW WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE
GULF COAST AND EXTEND NORTHWARD INTO ILLINOIS. RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS SYSTEM WILL BEGIN MOVING INTO THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY
THURSDAY WITH THE MAIN RAIN HOLDING OFF UNTIL THURSDAY NIGHT. THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BE WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAFS)...

AS PREVIOUS AVIATION DISCUSSION NOTED...QUITE AN ACTIVE TAF PERIOD
AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 12-18 HOURS.

A WARM FRONT PUSHING NORTH THROUGH TN IS CREATING WIDESPREAD
SHRA/TSRA OVER WRN AND CNTRL KY AT THE MOMENT. MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS
WILL BE COMMON AT BWG...WITH HIGH IFR VSBYS/CIGS POSSIBLE. LOTS OF
LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST
CELLS...EVEN SOME SMALL HAIL. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD REACH SDF/LEX BY
18Z AND LAST THROUGH 21Z...WITH THE ACTIVITY CONTINUING AT BWG
THROUGH 19-20Z.

ONCE THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH OF BWG (AROUND 22Z ROUGHLY) ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHRA/TSRA WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT. BY THIS
TIME...SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BE GUSTING UP TO 25 KTS AT TIMES...WITH
SOME HIGHER GUSTS IN AND AROUND TSRA. HIGH IFR VSBYS/CIGS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THE HEAVIEST CELLS BETWEEN THE 22-02Z TIME FRAME AT
BWG. THIS STRONGER ACTIVITY MAY REACH AS FAR NE AS LEX BY 00Z...BUT
MOST LIKELY NOT AS FAR NORTH AS SDF.

ONCE FROPA OCCURS...WEST WINDS WILL STILL BE GUSTY...ROUGHLY UP TO
25 KTS STILL AT ALL TAF SITES. LOW STRATUS/DZ WILL ALSO OCCUR
BEHIND FROPA...WHICH SHOULD BE AROUND 03Z AT BWG...04-05Z AT
SDF...AND FROM 06Z-07Z AT LEX.
