AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 137 AM EDT SAT MAY 9 2009 .MESOSCALE ANALYSIS...UPDATE WE HAVE UPDATED FOR SVR WATCH 277 UNTIL 11Z (7 AM EDT) SATURDAY AND THIS WATCH REPLACES TORNADO WATCH 271 IN OUR CWA. THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES. SEVERAL REPORTS OF FLOODING HAVE BEEN RECEIVED BETWEEN THE MTN PARKWAY AND KY HWY 80. MODELS HINT AT MCS/CONVECTIVE COMPLEX POSSIBLY RIDING ENE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA OVERNIGHT. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY COULD BECOME SEVERE...THOUGH FLOODING AND EVOLUTION OF FLASH FLOODING TO LARGER CREEK...STREAM AND SIGNIFICANT RISES DOWNSTREAM ON AREA RIVERS...ESPECIALLY IN THE KENTUCKY BASIN IS BECOMING THE LARGEST CONCERN. UPDATED ZFP...GRIDS AND TEXT PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN ALREADY SENT. THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... .MESOSCALE ANALYSIS...UPDATE MAJORITY OF THE SVR WX HAS MOVED EAST OF THE CWFA AND WHAT WE HAVE LEFT IS A SERIES OF SUPER CELLS TRACKING TO THE EAST THRU THE SRN HALF OF OUR CWFA. THE SVR TSRA WATCH FOR THE NRN COUNTIES WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 8 PM. WILL CONTINUE THE TOR WATCH FOR THE SRN HALF WHERE THE BEST DISCRETE STORMS ARE AND WHERE THE WARNINGS PERSIST. /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/ STRONG MCV MOVING RAPIDLY UP THE MOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON KICKING OFF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN KY. LINE OF STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE WILL ROLL THROUGH EASTERN KENTUCKY BETWEEN ABOUT 4 AND 6 PM LOCAL. WITH SUCH STRONG ROTATION NOT SURPRISED TO HEAR REPORTS OF HIGH WINDS AND EVEN A FEW TORNADOS UPSTREAM. BASED ON THE RUC...WHICH HAS HAD THE BEST HANDLE ON EVENTS TODAY...EXPECT THIS MCV TO RIDE STRAIGHT UP THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY THIS EVENING. THEREFORE IT IS LIKELY AT LEAST PART OF OUR CWA WILL SEE SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON...AND POSSIBLY INTO THE EARLY EVENING. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE MAIN THREAT. BUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. MOVED VALID TIME OF FLASH FLOOD WATCH UP TO 4 PM TO CORRESPOND WITH ARRIVAL OF STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. HOURLY FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE INDICATES IT WOULD ONLY TAKE A HALF INCH OF RAIN TO REACH CRITICAL THRESHOLDS IN MANY PORTIONS OF OUR CWA. SO FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. RAIN WILL LINGER THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AS A COLD FRONT SETTLES DOWN INTO OUR AREA. EXPECT RAIN TO COME TO AN END DURING THE DAY SATURDAY AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF EASTERN KENTUCKY. EXPECT AERIAL FLOODING AND SIGNIFICANT RISES ALONG AREA RIVERS WILL BE A PROBLEM THROUGH THE WEEKEND. .LONG TERM.../SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/ EXTENDED MODELS INITIALLY SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT IN LARGER SCALE PATTERN BUT DIFFER A BIT ON SMALLER SCALE DETAILS...MAINLY TIMING AND STRENGTH OF DISTURBANCES IN BROAD ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE HEART OF THE CONUS THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD. DRY WEATHER PATTERN BEGINNING SAT NIGHT AS THE FRONT FINALLY SAGS SOUTH OF THE STATE AND TAKES THE PRECIP TOWARDS THE GULF COAST. TEMPS FCST TO RUN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S. VERY WEAK WAVE TO PUSH PCPN BACK INTO OUR SRN COUNTIES EARLY MON BUT QPF SHOULD BE LIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WEDNESDAY. WED MORNING IS WHERE THE EXTENDED MODELS DIVERGE WITH THE ECMWF THE FASTER MODEL BY ALMOST 12 HRS. PREFER THE SLOWER GFS AS HIGH PRESS TENDS TO BE RELUCTANT TO BE DISPLACED AND THE ECWMF TRACKS THE HIGH TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WERE THE GFS TAKES THE HIGH TO THE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED MID ATLANTIC. THEREFORE HAVE FOLLOWED THE GFS FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE EXTENDED. COLD FRONT TO SWEEP INTO ERN KY WED NIGHT WITH SHRA/TSRA TO PRECEDE AND LAST INTO THU BEFORE PASSING THRU THE AREA. QPF WITH THIS PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM LOOKS MORE NORMAL FOR FRONTAL SYSTEMS AND SHOULD NOT BE A AREAL AVG HEAVY RAIN EVENT...ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN WITH TYPICAL TSRA IS POSSIBLE. && .AVIATION.../06Z TO 06Z/...UPDATED A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO STRETCH FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE OF KENTUCKY. EXPECT ALL THREE TAF SITES TO CONTINUE TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE REST OF THE OVERNIGHT...WITH BRIEF LULLS AT TIMES. EXPECT GENERAL MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT...WITH OCCASIONAL DIPS TO IFR AND BELOW IN THE HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. EXPECTING A GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TOWARD DAWN AS BOUNDARY THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE RIDING ON WILL SLIDE SOUTH AND CIGS/VIS RISE. SURFACE WINDS WILL STAY SOUTHWESTERLY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT BEFORE SHIFTING TO WESTERLY THEN NORTHWESTERLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
