AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
622 AM EST FRI DEC 19 2008

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

ACTIVE WEATHER CONTINUES. AT 12Z LOW PRESSURE WILL BE LOCATED OVER
CENTRAL ILLINOIS WITH A WARM FRONT EASTWARD ACROSS INDIANA AND OHIO
AND A COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTH JUST WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
BY MIDDAY THE QUICK-MOVING LOW WILL BE NEAR WHEELING WEST VIRGINIA
AND WILL BE DRAGGING ITS COLD FRONT THROUGH SOUTHERN INDIANA AND
CENTRAL KENTUCKY. THEN BY THIS EVENING THE LOW WILL BE IN
PENNSYLVANIA AND THE COLD FRONT WILL BE OFF TO OUR EAST. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL NOSE IN FROM THE NORTH TONIGHT.

MOISTURE WILL BE PLENTIFUL OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS MORNING
WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS. COULD HEAR A RUMBLE OF THUNDER ALONG AND
NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AS HAS BEEN
NOTED ACROSS MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS OVERNIGHT.

DRY SLOT THEN RUSHES IN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...SHUTTING OFF THE SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY ALLOWING US TO SEE
SOME PARTIAL SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THEN RETURNS TONIGHT FOR MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES...PARTICULARLY IN THE NORTH.

A VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL JET ON THE SOUTHEAST SIDE OF THE LOW WILL
BRING GUSTY WINDS TO THE REGION TODAY. RIGHT NOW THE MODELS ARE ALL
KEEPING SURFACE WIND SPEEDS JUST SLIGHTLY BELOW WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA. HOWEVER WINDS OF 50 KNOTS WILL BE FOUND JUST A COUPLE
THOUSAND FEET OFF THE SURFACE. IF WE CAN GET SOME OCCASIONAL
SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON THERE IS A CONCERN THAT STRONGER WINDS COULD
MIX DOWN.  AFTER SPEAKING WITH NWS JKL HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON A
WIND ADVISORY...BUT THE SITUATION WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED.

TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL PEAK THIS MORNING AND THEN FALL THIS
AFTERNOON AFTER FROPA. TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY FALL ABOUT TEN
DEGREES BETWEEN LUNCH AND DINNER TIME. LOWS TONIGHT SHOULD BOTTOM
OUT IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S.

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH CHRISTMAS DAY)...

FAIRLY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN STILL ON TAP FOR THE LONG RANGE
PERIOD.  FIRST SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE REGION ON SATURDAY AS
MID-LEVEL WAVE EJECTS OUT OF THE PLAINS AND MAKES A RUN FOR THE OHIO
VALLEY.  OVERALL MODEL TRENDS ARE SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH THIS SYSTEM.
THUS AM THINKING THAT BEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL
THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON SATURDAY.  HAVE LEANED CLOSER TO THE 00Z EURO
SOLUTION HERE AND WILL CONTINUE LIKELY POPS MAINLY FOR SAT
AFTERNOON.  TEMP TRENDS SUGGEST COOLER TEMPS ON SATURDAY WITH
RESPECT TO HIGHS.  HAVE CUT TEMPS BACK A BIT WITH THIS FCST.  HIGHS
IN THE NORTH LOOK ONLY TO WARM INTO THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND
40...WITH UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50 ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH.  CAT POPS
WILL BE USED FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AS BEST FORCING AND LIFT SWING
THROUGH THE REGION.  AS THIS SYSTEM PULLS OFF TO THE EAST...THE
ARCTIC BLAST WILL SURGE IN FROM THE NORTHWEST LATE SATURDAY NIGHT
AND EARLY SUNDAY.

SUNDAY...MAIN STORY HERE WILL BE TEMPERATURES.  TEMPS WILL SIMPLY
CRASH DURING THE DAY AS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION PUSHES THE ARCTIC
AIR BACK INTO THE REGION.  SUNDAYS HIGHS WILL LIKELY BE AT MIDNIGHT
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING TO AROUND FREEZING BY
SUNRISE SUNDAY MORNING...AND THEN INTO THE MID-UPPER TEENS BY
EVENING.  LAGGING PRECIPITATION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY CHANGE
TO SNOW.  HOWEVER...BEST MOISTURE WILL HAVE ALREADY DEPARTED THE
REGION.  STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW WILL LIKELY CONTAIN A FETCH OFF THE
LAKES AND OUR TYPICAL NW FLOW SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE A GOOD BET ON
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NE SECTIONS.  AS COLDER AIR
CONTINUES TO WORK IN...MOISTURE WILL BECOME SCANT AND SNOW SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY DIMINISH SUNDAY NIGHT.  GRADUAL CLEARING WILL
WORK IN AND ALLOW SOME OF THE COLDEST TEMPS OF THE SEASON TO OCCUR.
READINGS BY MONDAY MORNING WILL BE CLOSE TO 10 DEGREES WITH SOME
SINGLE DIGITS POSSIBLE IN THE MORE SHELTERED LOCATIONS.

FOR MONDAY-TUESDAY...RIDGING BOTH AT THE SFC AND ALOFT WILL MOVE
OVER THE REGION RESULTING IN A PARTLY SUNNY DAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL
NOT GO VERY FAR THOUGH AS STRONG COLD ARCTIC AIRMASS HANGS ACROSS
THE REGION.  WE LOWERED TEMPS A GOOD BIT FOR MONDAY BASED ON THE
LATEST RAW MODEL DATA...HIGHS MONDAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID
20S.  BY MONDAY NIGHT...SFC HIGH WILL DRIFT OFF TO THE EAST AND
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL ATTEMPT TO WARM UP TEMPS.  HOWEVER...THE MODELS
HAVE PERFORMED POORLY WITH THESE ARCTIC AIR MASSES OF LATE...SO AM
NOT GOING AS AGGRESSIVE AS THEY SUGGEST.  NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM SHOULD
BEGIN TO AFFECT THE REGION BY TUESDAY.  TEMPERATURES ARE A REAL
CHALLENGE HERE AS THE MODELS INSIST ON WARMING THINGS UP.  BUT GIVEN
THEIR PREVIOUS PERFORMANCE ON THIS PAST ARCTIC AIRMASS...MY
CONFIDENCE IN THE WARMUP IS RATHER SKEPTICAL AT THIS POINT.
THUS...WITH THAT SAID...PLAN ON KEEPING A MIX OF WINTRY
PRECIPITATION IN THE FCST FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY AND CHRISTMAS DAY...

DID NOT MAKE ANY REAL CHANGES TO THE FCST PD.  00Z GFS AND EURO
SOLUTIONS THROUGH THIS PERIOD ARE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR THOUGH BOTH
MODELS ARE EMPHASIZING THE OPPOSITE STREAMS...WITH THE GFS HOLDING
MORE IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM WHILE THE EURO IS MORE FOCUSED ON THE
NORTHERN STREAM.  OVERALL...THE TREND HAS BEEN THE SAME
ACTUALLY...BOTH BRING A WEATHER SYSTEM INTO THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY
WITH A DECENT SHOT OF WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM.
PRECIPITATION TYPE LOOKS TO FLUCTUATE WITH A MIX OF RAIN OR SNOW
POSSIBLE EARLY WEDNESDAY AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  SOME COLDER AIR
WORKS IN BEHIND THE SYSTEM WHICH COULD ALLOW THE REMAINING
PRECIPITATION TO CHANGE BACK OVER TO SNOW EARLY CHRISTMAS MORNING.

IN GENERAL...FORECASTER CONFIDENCE IN THIS PERIOD IS QUITE LOW GIVEN
THAT THE RECENT VERIFICATION SCORES OF THE GFS AND EURO ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY HAVE BEEN BELOW AVERAGE IN DAYS 4-7.  IN ADDITION...THE
MODELS HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THESE ARCTIC AIR MASSES OF LATE.  SINCE
WELL BE DEALING WITH ONE EARLY NEXT WEEK...THIS MAY HAVE
RAMIFICATIONS ON THE LONG RANGE FORECASTS IN LATER PERIODS.  I WOULD
EXPECT MORE JUMPINESS IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS PARTICULARLY THE GFS
FROM RUN TO RUN FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS WILL BE SOMETHING TO
WATCH OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS NEXT WEEK WILL BE A BUSY TRAVEL WEEK
WITH THE HOLIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION (12Z TAFS)...

A BAND OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS WILL PASS FROM WEST TO EAST
THROUGH THE TAF SITES EARLY THIS MORNING. WILL KEEP -SHRA IN THE
FORECAST AHEAD OF FROPA...WHICH SHOULD TAKE PLACE AROUND 16Z-17Z AT
THE AIRPORTS. SHOULD HAVE MOSTLY MVFR CONDITIONS DURING THIS TIME
PERIOD...POSSIBLY SOME IFR CONDITIONS BRIEFLY IN HEAVIER SHOWERS.

WILL KEEP LLWS IN THE TAFS THIS MORNING WITH 40 TO 50 KNOT WINDS NOT
FAR OFF THE SURFACE.

THIS AFTERNOON WILL DRY OUT AND WILL ATTEMPT TO SCATTER OUT THE LOW
CLOUDS. EXPECT GUSTY WEST WINDS AS COLD AIR SWEEPS IN BEHIND THE
FRONT.

LOW CLOUDS MAY RETURN TONIGHT ACCORDING TO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
PROFILES...THOUGH THIS IS NOT WELL BACKED BY MOS NUMBERS. WINDS WILL
TAPER OFF AROUND SUNSET.
