AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
357 PM EDT WED JUN 10 2009

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...UPDATED

CONVECTION CONTINUES ACROSS THE CWA...THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE
REDEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST UNTIL RECENT DEVELOPMENT OVER EASTERN IL.
WITH THE PASSAGE OF A SHORTWAVE AND LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...A
MINIMUM IN COVERAGE OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED BETWEEN ABOUT 0Z AND
6Z. AFTER 6Z...AN MCS SHOULD DEVELOP WEST OF THE AREA...THOUGH
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION IN THE WARM SECTOR CANNOT BE RULED OUT. PWS
HAVE INCREASED TO AROUND 1.75 INCHES ON AVERAGE AND SOME TRAINING AND
MERGING OF CELLS HAS BEEN OBSERVED AND IS FAVORED DUE TO UPPER LEVEL
STEERING WINDS NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE BOUNDARY OVER THE REGION. IN
ADDITION...STORM MERGERS HAVE ALSO TAKEN PLACE AND LED TO RAINFALL
RATES OF UP TO TWO INCHES PER HOUR. THE LATEST FFG VALUES IN THE 3
TO 6 HOUR RANGE ARE UNDER 3 INCHES...WITH SOME AREAS LESS THAN 2
INCHES IN 3 HOURS. ONE HOUR VALUES ARE ALSO LESS THAN 2 INCHES ARE
REACHABLE IN A FEW LOCATIONS. WITH THIS IN MIND...WENT WITH A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH THROUGH THE EVENING UNTIL 2Z. A THREAT MAY AGAIN EXIST ON
THU FOR HEAVY RAIN...BUT THIS IS ALREADY MENTIONED IN THE HWO.

WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORTWAVE THAT IS HELPING DRIVE THE CURRENT
CONVECTION AND THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...COVERAGE OF CONVECTION
SHOULD BE AT A MIN IN THE 0Z TO 6Z TIME FRAME AND PLAN TO INCLUDE AN
EVENING TIME PERIOD IN THE ZONES. THE MODELS INDICATE AN MCS WILL
DEVELOP TONIGHT WEST OF THE AREA...WITH THE GFS TAKING THIS
CONVECTION NORTHEAST. THE NAM ALSO TRACKS THE MCS NORTHEAST...BUT IS
FURTHER NORTH AND WEST WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND TRACK. BOTH MODELS
ALSO HAVE ADDITIONAL CONVECTION IN THE WARM SECTOR TO THE SOUTH
AFFECTING KY DURING THE 6Z TO 12Z TIME RANGE. THERE IS UNCERTAINTY AS
TO IF/WHERE THE CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP...BUT PERSISTENCE OF THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST AND MOS GUIDANCE ARGUES FOR AT LEAST CHANCE POPS IN
THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT...WITH LIKELY POPS IN THE NORTHWEST AND
POSSIBLY WEST.

THE THE MCS/OR REMNANTS AND WARM SECTOR CONVECTION SHOULD TRAVEL EAST
ACROSS THE AREA ON THU. THIS MAY LEAD TO DEBRIS CLOUDINESS AND
MORNING CONVECTION POSSIBLY LIMITING INSATIABILITY AND CONVECTION.
HOWEVER...THE NAM INDICATES SOME DRYING IN THE MID LEVELS IN THE PM
AND THIS MAY LEAD TO LIMITED...BUT JUST ENOUGH SOLAR ISOLATION FOR
CAPES TO REACH THE MARGINAL TO MODERATE RANGE...OR 1.5 TO 1.75 INCH
RANGE. SHEAR...BOTH SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL WILL ALSO BE BETTER THAN
RECENT DAYS WILL EXIST AND CAPES IN THE MARGINAL TO MODERATE RANGE
1000 TO 2000 J/KG WILL LEAD TO SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. IN ADDITION...PW
WILL REMAIN IN THE 1.5 TO 1.75 INCH RANGE SO HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO A
THREAT. BOTH THREAT ARE ALREADY COVERED IN THE HWO AND SPC HAS PLACED
THE REGION IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. AND SHOULD
TRAVEL EAST

.LONG TERM.../THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...UPDATED

MODELS SHOW DECENT AGREEMENT WITH LARGER SCALE AND UPPER LEVEL FLOW
PATTERNS...WHILE MODEL DIFFERENCES ARE MOST PRONOUNCED WITH SFC
FEATURES. EXTENDED BEGINS WITH NEAR ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE REGION.
SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIGS INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION MIDWAY THROUGH THE
PERIOD OR DY5/DY6...FORMING A BROAD BUT TEMPORARY TROUGH OVER THE
MID AND UPPER OHIO VALLEY. THEREAFTER...STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST AND COMBINE WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE OVER
EASTERN NOAM...LIKELY PROVIDING AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY...SUMMER
LIKE WEATHER OVER THE AREA JUST BEYOND THE END OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD.

MAIN FEATURE OF INTEREST WILL BE A COLD FRONT THAT CRAWLS ITS WAY
ACROSS THE AREA DYS 3 THROUGH 6...LATE FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
AGAIN...FOCUS OF MODEL DIFFERENCES THROUGH THE PERIOD SURROUND THE
COLD FRONT...AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF ANY
SFC WAVES THAT TRACK ALONG THE FRONT. THESE WAVES KEEP OUR WEATHER
GENERALLY UNSETTLED AND UNDER THE THREAT OF RAIN UNTIL A LAST
WAVE...AND THE BOUNDARY MAKE A FINAL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA LATE
SUNDAY...OR MORE LIKELY MONDAY. THE BOUNDARY RETURNS AS A WARM FRONT
DY7...WEDNESDAY...AND USHERS IN SUMMER LIKE CONDITIONS THEREAFTER.

&&

.AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/

SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING ACROSS THE
REGION AND THIS SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL EARLY EVENING. ATTM...IT APPEARS
JKL MAY BE AFFECTED BY THUNDER IN THE NEXT 1 TO 2 HOURS AND HENCE THE
TEMPO GROUP. HOWEVER...THE SOUTHWESTERN AREAS NEAR LOZ AND SME ARE
BEGINNING TO DESTABILIZE AGAIN AFTER EARLIER CONVECTION AND COULD BE
AFFECTED THROUGH 22Z OR SO AS WELL. HOWEVER...FOR THOSE LOCATIONS
WENT WITH VCSH AND A CB GROUP DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN LOCATION AND
TIMING OF ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THERE.
OUTSIDE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONDITIONS WILL AVERAGE
VFR...HOWEVER...VIS AND/OR CIGS WILL FALL TO AT LEAST IFR IN HEAVIER
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
MINIMAL FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT...HOWEVER...REDEVELOPMENT SHOULD OCCUR
OVER OR CLOSE TO THE AREA 6Z TO 12Z...WITH MOST LOCATIONS EXPERIENCING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS 12Z TO 18Z ON THU. AGAIN...TIMING WAS
UNCERTAIN SO COVERED THIS WITH VCTS AND A CB GROUP.
