What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jun 16, 3:02 PM EDT, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 3:02 PM EDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 302 PM EDT TUE JUN 16 2009 .SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...UPDATED AN ACTIVE PERIOD IS IN STORE. UNFORTUNATELY...THE MODELS STILL ARE NOT HANDLING CONVECTION VERY WELL...AND CONVECTION WILL BE OUR PRIMARY ISSUE. THE FIRST CONCERN IS THE MCS WITH HIGH WINDS MARCHING THROUGH WESTERN KY ON ITS WAY EAST. IT IS SHOWING SOME INCLINATION TO DEVELOP FURTHER SOUTH...BUT NOT NORTHWARD. WILL EXPECT THIS GENERAL TREND TO CONTINUE...WITH THE MOST UNSTABLE AIR IN OUR AREA BEING IN OUR SW COUNTIES. EXTRAPOLATING THE MOVEMENT IT SHOULD ENTER OUR SW COUNTIES AROUND 5 PM AND MOVE EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVER ABOUT A 3 HOUR WINDOW. PRECIP MAY LINGER FOR A WHILE BEHIND THE INITIAL LINE...BUT WILL EXPECT A RELATIVE LULL FOR A WHILE LATER IN THE EVENING. THE POTENTIAL FOR PRECIP WILL INCREASE AGAIN OVERNIGHT AS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENT FLOW STRENGTHENS IN OUR ZONE OF WARM AIR ADVECTION. THIS WILL BE DUE TO A SURFACE LOW MOVING THROUGH THE MIDWEST. CONSIDERING THE PRECIP THREAT AS A WHOLE...LIKELY POPS APPEAR IN ORDER FOR THE FIRST 12 HOUR PERIOD. HOWEVER...CATEGORICAL POPS MAY BE NEEDED IN A PRE 1ST PERIOD FOR THE SQUALL LINE. ON WEDNESDAY...THE SAME GENERAL SCENARIO CONTINUES...WITH CONVERGENT LOW LEVEL FLOW AND WARM AIR ADVECTION. HOWEVER...THE DEEP MOISTURE WANES AS THE AIR ALOFT WARMS SLIGHTLY AND DRIES CONSIDERABLY. THIS SHOULD BRING AN OVERALL DECREASE IN PRECIP COVERAGE AS THE DAY GOES BY. BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE COVERAGE SHOULD BE MINIMAL AND WILL GO WITH JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE NE. MODELS DISAGREE ON THURSDAY...WITH THE WRF INDICATING CONVECTION DEVELOPING AS WEAK WAVES MOVE OVER ALOFT. MEANWHILE...THE GFS SHOWS WARMING MID LEVEL TEMPS AND KEEPS US MORE CAPPED. WILL COMPROMISE ON POPS BETWEEN MAV AND MET AND USE CHANCE VALUES OF 30-40 PERCENT. ON THURSDAY NIGHT WE WILL MOVE FURTHER INTO THE WARM SECTOR AS THE WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST. WITH LOSS OF HEATING AS WELL...POPS WILL DROP FURTHER...TO 20-30 PERCENT. .LONG TERM.../FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/ CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING...DUE TO UNCERTAINTY AMONGST THE VARIOUS MODELS AND MOS DATA REGARDING TIMING OF PRECIPITATION ONSET ON FRIDAY...DECIDED TO GO WITH THE MORE RELIABLE ECMWF MODEL SOLUTION. FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY APPEAR TO BE THE BEST TIMES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER THE WEEKEND. THE QUESTIONS WILL BE WHAT WILL BE THE ORIENTATION OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT TRIGGERS CONVECTION...THE TIMING OF THE BOUNDARY...AND THE TIMING AND AMOUNT OF MIDDLE AND UPPER LEVEL JET ENERGY AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION AND STORM MAINTENANCE. THE GFS AND ECMWF BOTH SHOWED PRETTY JET DYNAMICS FOR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY MORNING. THE TIMING IN TODAYS MODELS WAS A BIT FASTER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS SO ADJUSTED POP...SKY...AND WEATHER GRIDS TO REFLECT THIS. ALSO MODIFIED QPF GRIDS A BIT FOR THE SAME REASON. ONCE PRECIPITATION ENDS ON SATURDAY THE MODELS ALL AGREE THAT SUNDAY...MONDAY...AND TUESDAY WILL ALL BE DRY WITH LIGHT WINDS AND WARM MUGGY TEMPERATURES. THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST WAS ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE LATEST HPC AND MEXMOS VALUES...BUT NOT TO THE EXTREMELY WARM READINGS THE MEXMOS WAS DEPICTING FOR FRIDAY. LOOKS LIKE QUITE A FEW LOCATIONS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S ON FRIDAY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. && .AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/ ISOLATED SHOWERS WERE DEVELOPING SHORTLY BEFORE THE START OF THE TAF PERIOD. THEY WILL INCREASE SOMEWHAT IN COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT INCLUSION IN TAFS INITIALLY. AN ORGANIZED LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WAS ENTERING THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE AND MOVING EASTWARD AT THE SAME TIME. IF IT MAINTAINS ITS MOTION AND INTEGRITY...IT WILL ARRIVE AROUND 21Z AND PASS THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. THE AREA MOST LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED BY THESE STORMS AND THE AREA WITH THE GREATEST RISK OF HIGH WINDS IS IN OUR SW COUNTIES IN THE VICINITY OF KSME AND KLOZ. WIND GUSTS OF 60 TO 70 MPH...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND VERY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE LIKELY WITH THIS LINE OF STORMS AS IT PASSES THROUGH SME AND LOZ BETWEEN 21 AND 22Z. ONCE THIS PASSES...THERE WILL STILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS AT TIMES THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE THREAT WILL INCREASE AGAIN WITH TIME...WITH THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS BEGINNING AROUND DAWN AND LASTING INTO THE MORNING ON WEDNESDAY. ANY THUNDERSTORM COULD BRING IFR OR WORSE CONDITIONS. OUTSIDE OF STORMS...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SHORT TERM...HAL LONG TERM...AR AVIATION...HAL
