AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
305 AM EDT MON MAY 4 2009

.SHORT TERM.../TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...UPDATED

A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING ALONG A SLUGGISH FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO BRING WIDESPREAD MODERATE RAINFALL TO THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH 12Z. AN INITIAL WAVE OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN
HAS CAUSED FLOODING ISSUES FROM CORBIN IN WHITLEY COUNTY NORTHEAST TO
ELKATAWA IN BREATHITT COUNTY. RAINFALL RATES OF AS MUCH AS AN INCH
PER HOUR HAVE BEEN OCCURRING. A SECOND BATCH OF MODERATE RAINFALL IS
CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE FORECAST AREA
AND WILL ONLY ADD TO ANY ONGOING FLOODING PROBLEMS. THERE IS A
DISTINCTIVE BACK EDGE TO THIS PRECIPITATION ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY
AND THIS WILL LIKELY REACH THE FORECAST AREA BY 12Z OR SO. AFTER 12Z
THE RAINFALL WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE IN INTENSITY AS IT MOVES ACROSS
EASTERN KENTUCKY. THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE WILL ACT TO
PULL THE SURFACE FRONT SLOWLY EASTWARD DURING THE PREDAWN
HOURS...WHICH ULTIMATEREDAWN
HOURS...WHICH ULTIMATELREDAWN
HOURS...WHICH ULTIMATEY WILL LEAD TO THE DECREASE IN RAINFALL.

MADE A FEW CHANGES TO THE PRECIPITATION PROBABILITY GRIDS BASED ON
THE LATEST SREF AND GFS MODEL SOLUTIONS...WHICH BOTH ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT AND ARE ALSO DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB HANDLING THE CURRENT
SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND PRECIP COVERAGE. WITH MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW
OCCURRING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING UPPER LOW AND SURFACE
FRONT...THERE WILL BE A GOOD CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH AT LEAST 17Z TODAY. TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT LOOK TO BE
DRY...BUT THE BREAK WILL NOT LAST LONG AS YET ANOTHER SYSTEM IS
FORECAST TO MOVE OUT OF THE PLAINS AND ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE
VALLEYS ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE SYNOPTIC IS A BIT
DIFFERENT FOR THIS NEXT SYSTEM...AS IT APPEARS THAT A WEAK WARM FRONT
WILL BRING AN INITIAL SHOT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING...BEFORE GIVING WAY TO A WELL DEFINED COLD
LATER THAT AFTERNOON. THIS NEXT SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BRING NEAR AS MUCH
RAIN TO THE AREA AS THE FRONTS SHOULD PUSH THROUGH THE AREA IN ABOUT
24 HOURS. ALSO MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO TEMPERATURES...WINDS...AND
DEWPOINTS. THE MAVMOS HAS BEEN HANDLING AREA TEMPERATURES THE BEST
OVER THE PAST WEEK SO WILL GO WITH MODIFIED MAVMOS FOR DAYTIME HIGHS
AND OVERNIGHT LOWS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

.LONG TERM.../MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/

AN ACTIVE LONG TERM PATTERN IS IN STORE AS NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT
WILL GIVE WAY TO A COUPLE OF AMPLIFIED H5 TROUGHS THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK. THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO BE THE PREFERRED MODEL THROUGH THE
EXTENDED WITH SUPPORT FROM GEFS/GEM/NAEFS AND HPC. OPERATIONAL GFS
IS AN OUTLIER WITH MOST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS LEANING MORE TOWARD SLOWER
AND MORE AMPLIFIED ECMWF SOLUTIONS.

LINGERING PRECIPITATION ON MONDAY NIGHT WILL QUICKLY TAPER OFF AS
MAIN TROUGH AXIS SLIDES EAST AND WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN ON TUESDAY. WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE POPS IN THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE CWA BEFORE A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH ACROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY
NIGHT AND POPS INCREASE AS INFLUENCE FROM DIGGING H5 TROUGH AND
ISENTROPIC LIFT COMMENCE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY...SO WILL INCLUDE SMALL CHANCES FOR THUNDER AS WELL.
EAST KENTUCKY WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR OF DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW
OVER INDIANA ON WEDNESDAY. GOOD CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST DURING THIS TIME AND CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE ABOVE MENTIONED SURFACE LOW SWINGS A COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE AREA BY MID MORNING ON THURSDAY. THE ECMWF IS
PAINTING SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT QPF WITH THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM AND
WITH PLENTY OF RAINFALL AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM...WILL HAVE TO MONITOR
THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME HYDRO PROBLEMS ON WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

CONFIDENCE DECREASES IN FORECAST AFTER MID WEEK SYSTEM AS MODELS
DIVERGE ON POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS...HOWEVER A CONTINUED ACTIVE PATTERN
IS LIKELY WITH ANOTHER AMPLIFIED H5 TROUGH DIGGING INTO ZONAL FLOW
AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW/COLD FRONT SWINGING THROUGH EAST KENTUCKY
ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIKELY WITH THIS WAVE.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...WENT ABOVE OR BELOW MEX GUIDANCE IN AREAS
WHERE ECMWF SOLUTION WAS NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT. OVERALL...LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL MOSTLY BE ABOVE CLIMO FOR THE PERIOD AS CLOUD
COVER WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES UP. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY
REMAIN NEAR THE MID 70S...AROUND CLIMO FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

&&

.AVIATION.../06Z TO 06Z/

CONDITIONS WILL FLUCTUATE MOSTLY BETWEEN IFR AND LIFR FOR THE FIRST 8
HOURS OF THE FORECAST AT ALL THREE TAF SITES. THE MOST CURRENT RADAR
LOOP SHOWS AN AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURRING MAINLY
NORTH OF THE HAL ROGERS PARKWAY AND HIGHWAY 80 CORRIDOR...THEREFORE
THE WORST CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY OCCURRING AT JKL AND WILL BE
BETWEEN 6 AND 8Z. LOZ AND SME CAN EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF MODERATE
RAINFALL TO MOVE IN AFTER 7Z...WITH IFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING.
REGIONAL RADAR LOOPS SHOWS THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN MOVING ACROSS
CENTRAL KENTUCKY AS OF 540Z. WITH LOW PRESSURE WRAPPING MOISTURE INTO
THE MOUNTAINS...ALONG WITH NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW OCCURRING...THE
RAIN WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THROUGH AT LEAST 12
OR 13Z. ONLY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD BE OCCURRING AT THE TAF SITES
AFTER 15Z...WITH A RAPID DECREASE IN COVERAGE BETWEEN 16 AND 18Z AT
LOZ AND SME...AND AFTER 18Z AT JKL.
