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 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.

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 CLIMATALOGICALY 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.../18Z TO 18Z/ COMPLEX OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS MARCHING THROUGH THE COMMONWEALTH FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO ENTER THE PICTURE ABOUT 20Z...1600 LOCAL...AND SPREAD EASTWARD FROM THERE. COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES DOWN INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF PRECIPITATION GOING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. FRONTAL BOUNDARY SWEEPS THE BULK OF PRECIP SOUTHWARD OUT OF THE AREA BY MID MORNING TO MID DAY SATURDAY.
