AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
913 PM EDT SUN APR 5 2009

.SHORT TERM.../THE REST OF TONIGHT/...UPDATED

COLD FRONT PUSHING THRU CNTRL KY WITH A LINE OF STORMS FROM CVG TO
BNA MOVING EAST AT MORE THAN 25 MPH. INDIVIDUAL STORMS IN THE LINE
ARE TRACKING TO THE NE AT GREATER THAN 55 MPH. SVR TSRA WATCH ISSUED
UNTIL 2 AM FOR ALL OF ERN KY. WARM AIR IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT
IS BEGINNING TO RAISE DWPTS WHILE TEMPS REMAIN IN THE LOWER 70S. LLVL
JET FROM THE SW JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT AND S TO SW WINDS AT THE
SFC GUSTING TO BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH. COLD FRONT AND SVR THREAT
SHOULD EXIT TO THE EAST OF THE STATE SOMETIME AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/

GET READY FOR A WILD RIDE. CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES A WARM
FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA WITH DEWPOINTS JUMPING INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 40S TO THE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER
ILLINOIS WILL RACE TO NEAR CLEVELAND BY DAWN ON MONDAY AND THE
TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH EASTERN KENTUCKY BY OR SHORTLY
AFTER MIDNIGHT TO BE FOLLOWED BY A BIG TIME CHANGE IN AIRMASS AND A
RETURN TO WINTER. CONCERNS FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD INCLUDE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING... THE POSSIBILITY OF HEADLINES FOR SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES FROM LATE MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT... AND THEN GUSTY WINDS THROUGHOUT. WILL REFRESH
ONGOING SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT REGARDING THESE CONCERNS.

MODELS... GENERALLY PREFERRED A 05/12Z NAM SOLUTION THROUGH MONDAY
BEFORE TRANSITIONING OVER THE THE 05/12Z GFS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT FOR ANY TWEAKS TO INHERITED FORECAST. MOST NOTEWORTHY
TREND IN THE PROGS IS FOR A QUICKER EXIT OF DEEPER MOISTURE MONDAY
NIGHT... WHICH DEFINITELY HELPED IN THE OVERALL DECISION TO NOT
ISSUE AN ELEVATION BASED WINTER STORM WATCH FOR OUR VIRGINIA BORDER
COUNTIES. MORE ON THAT BELOW. BIGGEST DEVIATION FROM GUIDANCE WAS
FOR TEMPS ON TUESDAY AS WE HELD EXPECTED HIGHS WAY BELOW MOS DUE TO
CONTINUED COLD ADVECTION... CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL... SPC EXTENDED THE SLIGHT RISK AREA
TO INCLUDE THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WITH THE MIDDAY UPDATE. SQUALL
LINE IS NOW TAKING SHAPE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER SOUTHEAST
MISSOURI AND THIS SHOULD RACE ACROSS THE STATE THIS EVENING.
DEWPOINTS ARE JUMPING TOWARD 60F OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE.
DO NOT EXPECT SUCH A RESPONSE ON THIS END OF THE STATE HOWEVER AS
LOW LEVEL DOWNSLOPE FLOW DRIES OUT THE LOW LEVELS KEEPING
INSTABILITY PARAMETERS IN CHECK. THIS... AND THE FACT THAT THE
SQUALL LINE WILL BE MOVING THROUGH AFTER SUNSET ARE THE ONLY
NEGATIVES WITH THIS SYSTEM THOUGH AS SHEAR IS IMPRESSIVE. WILL
CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE SEVERE THREAT IN THE APPROPRIATE PRODUCTS.

CHANGEOVER TO SNOW AND SNOW AMOUNTS... MUCH COLDER TEMPS WILL SURGE
IN BEHIND THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT WITH TEMPS FALLING THROUGHOUT THE
DAY ON MONDAY. AXIS OF H5 TROUGH WILL PASS BY MIDDAY MONDAY WITH
STRENGTHENING UPSLOPE FLOW BEHIND. RAIN SHOWERS WILL TRANSITION OVER
TO SNOW SHOWERS FROM TOP DOWN AS BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS LATE MONDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING... REACHING THE VALLEY FLOORS BY OR SHORTLY AFTER
DARK. MOISTURE DEPTH AND OMEGA ARE MAXIMIZED AROUND 00Z TUE... WHEN
HEAVIEST PRECIP SHOULD OCCUR. MOISTURE DEPTH THEN DECREASES BUT GOOD
UPSLOPE FLOW CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. COORDINATED
WITH MRX ABOUT POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR OUR
VIRGINIA BORDER COUNTIES BUT AT THIS TIME WE EXPECT AN ADVISORY
CRITERIA EVENT WITH AMOUNTS RANGING FROM AN INCH OR TWO IN THE
VALLEYS UP TO 4 TO 6 INCHES ABOVE 2500 FEET (OVER A 36 TO 42 HOUR
PERIOD). THIS IS A TOUGH CALL THOUGH... BUT ONE THAT IS BACKED UP BY
THE LATEST MODEL TRENDS WHICH PULL THE DEEPER MOISTURE OUT OF THE
AREA QUICKLY MONDAY NIGHT.

WINDS... WINDS ARE ALREADY RESPONDING TO THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS EVENING WITH GUSTS UP TO
30 MPH LIKELY THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT... OF COURSE HIGHER IN ANY
CONVECTION. WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH SHOULD CONTINUE PRETTY MUCH
RIGHT ON THROUGH TUESDAY WITH STRONG ONGOING COLD ADVECTION. THIS IS
JUST UNDER LAKE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA.

FREEZE... AFTER COORDINATION WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES... WE WILL
HOLD OFF ON ISSUING ANY FREEZE HEADLINES AT THIS TIME DUE MAINLY TO
SHORT TERM SEVERE CONCERNS. IT IS A PRETTY GOOD BET THOUGH THAT
FREEZING TEMPS WILL OCCUR JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY NIGHT. WE DID HOLD TEMPS UP SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE NUMBERS
THOUGH DUE TO HEAVY CLOUD COVER AND GUSTY WINDS BUT LOWS EACH NIGHT
SHOULD DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S.

LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/

A PLETHORA OF SYSTEMS TO CONTEND WITH DURING WHAT SHOULD BE AN
ACTIVE PERIOD. ANY LINGERING FLURRIES WITH THE EARLY WEEK SYSTEM
WILL BE LEAVING THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA ON
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE NEXT SYSTEM COULD ALREADY BE HERE ON
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IT IS A WEAK ONE...AND HAS COME ON
THE SCENE AS A PRECIP THREAT SINCE SATURDAY...SHOWING UP IN BOTH THE
GFS AND WRF. A COMBINATION OF AN UPPER JET AND LOW LEVEL ISENTROPIC
LIFT COULD BRING RAIN SHOWERS FOR OUR NE COUNTIES. ONCE THIS
PASSES...WILL EXPECT A BRIEF LULL LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MUCH
OF THE DAY THURSDAY.

THE NEXT SYSTEM AT THE END OF THE WORK WEEK WILL BE MUCH MORE
SUBSTANTIAL. LOW PRESSURE WILL HEAD EAST FROM THE PLAINS ON ITS
TRACK UP THE OH VALLEY. WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF IT THREATENS
RAIN ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON...BUT IT IS MORE LIKELY TO OUR WEST. THE
BIGGER THREAT OF RAIN FROM ISENTROPIC LIFT AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
IS ON THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH A LIKELIHOOD ON FRIDAY AS WELL AS THE
SURFACE SYSTEM PASSES. THE GFS AND ECMWF DO DIFFER ON THE TRACK AND
TIMING OF THE SYSTEM. THE IMPACT OF THIS WOULD BE ON TEMPERATURES
AND HOW LONG POPS HOLD ON. HAVE TRIMMED BACK A BIT FROM THE WARM GFS
TEMPERATURES WITH THE GFS TRACK BEING FURTHER NORTH. HAVE ALSO GONE
ABOUT 10 PERCENT ABOVE GFS MEXMOS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...SINCE THE ECMWF
IS SHOWING A SLOWER EXIT.

THE ECMWF IS ALSO DEEPER WITH ITS SLOWER PROGRESSING ASSOCIATED
UPPER TROUGH...WHICH ALLOWS FOR A COLDER AIR MASS IN THE WAKE OF THE
SURFACE SYSTEM. THE GFS MEXMOS FROM BOTH 00Z AND 12Z ON 4/5/09
LOOKED TOO WARM DURING THE WEEKEND...EVEN MATCHED UP AGAINST THE GFS
MODEL IT IS BASED ON. WITH THAT SAID...HAVE UNDERCUT THE MEXMOS BY
SEVERAL DEGREES AT THAT TIME.

YET ANOTHER SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE IT WILL ROLL OUT OF THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS TOWARD US AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. TRACKING AND TIMING
ISSUES ABOUND AT THAT LONG RANGE. THE 00Z 4/5/2009 GFS SUGGESTED
PRECIP WOULD BE POSSIBLE LATE SUNDAY...BUT THE 06Z AND 12Z GFS AS
WELL AS THE 00Z ECMWF WERE SLOWER. WILL HOLD OFF ON POPS DURING THE
DAY SUNDAY.

&&

.AVIATION.../00Z TO 24Z/

A LINE OF STRONG TSRA ARE RACING TO THE NE AT MORE THAN 50 MPH WHILE
THE ENTIRE LINE IS TRACKING EAST AT AROUND 20 MPH. THIS LINE...IN
CENTRAL KY...WILL ENTER ERN KY AROUND 7 PM...SME AROUND 8 PM...LOZ
AROUND 8:45 PM AND JKL AROUND 9 PM. EXPECT STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS
BETWEEN 25 AND 35 MPH FROM THE SW UNTIL FRONTAL PASSAGE WHEN THE
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE W AND WNW BUT REMAIN GUSTY. CIGS WILL LOWER
BEHIND THE FNT TO IFR RANGE AND SHRA WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA IN WRAP
AROUND MOISTURE AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE UP THE OH RVR. SHRA WILL
CONTINUE OFF AND ON FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE DAY WITH FALLING
TEMPERATURES UNTIL THE AIR IS COLD ENOUGH TO CHANGE TO SNOW BY LATE
AFTERNOON.
