AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
230 AM EST SAT DEC 27 2008

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

...RECORD WARMTH EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...

A POWERFUL JET NOW ROUNDING THE BASE OF A DEEP FULL LATITUDE WESTERN
TROUGH WILL INTENSIFY FURTHER ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES BY LATE
TODAY AS THIS 500MB TROUGH MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. A DEEP
SURFACE TROUGH CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM KANSAS THROUGH WISCONSIN.

BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON LOW PRESSURE WILL RAPIDLY DEEPEN AND SCOOT
NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN. A COLD FRONT WILL TIGHTEN AND
MOVE EAST INTO OUR FORECAST AREA TOWARDS MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

A STRONG SOUTHERLY JET WILL BRING INCREDIBLE MOISTURE TO THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES. FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATER AMOUNTS WILL APPROACH ONE
AND ONE QUARTER INCH ACROSS MICHIGAN. THIS IS 4 TO 5 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL FOR LATE DECEMBER. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXTEND FROM MISSOURI THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN
TODAY.

THE BEST MOISTURE AND UPPER AIR DYNAMICS WILL STAY WELL TO OUR
NORTHWEST THROUGH EARLY EVENING. DESPITE A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL
JET AND VERY MOIST AIR...LOCAL FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW NO
INSTABILITY NOR STRONG UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION UNTIL JUST BEFORE
FRONTAL PASSAGE.

EXPECT TODAY TO REMAIN MOSTLY DRY WITH JUST ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS
OR SPRINKLES. BY LATE EVENING...A WEAKENING LINE OF SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...AFTER WHICH...SKIES WILL TEND TO CLEAR PRETTY
RAPIDLY.

WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. WINDS MAY GUST OVER 40 MPH THIS AFTERNOON. BOTH THE NAM AND
THE GFS SHOW PEAK 925MB WINDS OVER 50KTS JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT THIS EVENING. WINDS MAY GUST OVER 40 MPH JUST AHEAD AND WITH
THE COLD FRONT LATE THIS EVENING AS WELL.

EVEN WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES...RECORD HIGHS ARE LIKELY TODAY.

    PREVIOUS RECORD HIGHS FOR DECEMBER 27 DEC ARE:

        STANDIFORD FIELD IN LOUISVILLE.........69
        LEXINGTON AIRPORT......................69
        BOWLING GREEN..........................69

IN GENERAL....HIGHS TODAY WILL RANGE FROM JUST UNDER 70 ACROSS THE
BLUEGRASS REGION TO THE LOWER 70S ELSEWHERE.

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...

SUNDAY MORNING COULD SEE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ALONG THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE BLUEGRASS REGION...THOUGH THESE LOOK TO MOVE
QUICKLY OFF TO THE EAST BEFORE NOON TIME. SKIES WILL CLEAR RAPIDLY
WEST TO EAST WITH PLENTY OF AFTERNOON SUNSHINE...THOUGH A MUCH
COOLER DAY THAN SATURDAY CAN BE EXPECTED.  HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER
THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES THROUGH MID WEEK...WITH GRADUALLY
WARMING TEMPERATURES MONDAY AND TUESDAY UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.  A
WEAK UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY...WITH JUST A LITTLE CLOUD COVER INCREASE ON WEDNESDAY
KEEPING TEMPERATURES COOLER THAN MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

MORE ACTIVE WEATHER TO RETURN TO POTENTIALLY RETURN TO THE AREA VERY
LATE IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. SHOULD THE CURRENT GFS MODEL PAN
OUT...MOISTURE AND COLD ENOUGH AIR FOR WINTER PRECIPITATION WOULD
REACH THE AREA BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT CROSSES THE REGION LATE
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE LATEST HIGH RES
EUROPEAN AND MUCH OF THE CANADIAN ENSEMBLE RUNS ARE INDICATING THAT
SPLIT FLOW WILL CONTINUE AND THE CWA WILL REMAIN MILD AND MOSTLY DRY
DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. CERTAINLY SOMETHING TO BE MONITORED AS THE
DAY 6 THROUGH 8 PORTION OF THIS FORECAST DRAWS CLOSER...BUT NO
CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR THESE PERIODS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAFS)...

STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AT 2 TO 3 THOUSAND FEET WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
EARLY SUNDAY AS A DEEP LOW PRESSURE TROUGH NOW OVER MISSOURI WILL
APPROACH THE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT SATURDAY.

ACARS SOUNDINGS SHOW 40KT WINDS RIGHT AROUND 2000 FEET. WILL
CONTINUE A MENTION OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR THROUGH 14Z SATURDAY FOR
ALL TAF SITES.

DESPITE BRIEFLY CLEAR SKIES EARLIER THIS EVENING...FORECAST
SOUNDINGS AND UPSTREAM REGIONAL OBSERVATIONS SHOW BROKEN TO OVERCAST
MVFR CIGS MOVING NORTH FROM TENNESSEE. EXPECT CIGS OCCASIONALLY
BELOW 2000 FEET TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. MVFR CIGS MAY
ON OCCASION BECOME SCATTERED AT TIMES AFTER 16Z TODAY. HOWEVER...DO
NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THIS TO ESTABLISH ANY CLEARING TREND
THIS AFTERNOON.

SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL AVERAGE 12 TO 15 MPH THIS
MORNING...INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 MPH THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH.
