Tornado Warning 23, NWS Louisville, KY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
146 PM EDT FRI APR 10 2009

.MESOSCALE UPDATE 4...

STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON.  TWO DISTINCT AREAS THAT WERE ARE
WATCHING.  FIRST ACROSS THE BLUEGRASS REGION...WE CONTINUE TO HAVE A
CLUSTER OF STORMS THAT REMAIN SOMEWHAT ELEVATED IN NATURE.  THIS
ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO BE FORCED BY STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT AND BEING
FED BY STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET AXIS.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO
PRODUCE QUITE A BIT OF HAIL ALONG WITH HEAVY RAINS.  THERE IS
PARTICULAR CONCERN NOW THAT INTERACTION WITH THE LOW-LEVEL JET IS
LEADING TO REDEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTHWEST FLANK WITH THE TRAINING OF
CELLS OVER THE SAME AREAS.  THUS THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL
INCREASE DRAMATICALLY ACROSS BOYLE...NE LINCOLN...SOUTHERN
MERCER...NW GARRARD...AND SW JESSAMINE COUNTIES.

SECOND AREA OF CONVECTION WERE MONITORING IS THE ARC OF CONVECTION
ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.  THIS AREA IS BEING
DYNAMICALLY DRIVEN DUE A RESPONSE IN HEIGHT FALLS AS H5 VORTICITY
MAX DROPS INTO THE AREA.  MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY IS NOW SURFACED
BASED AND ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO INCREASE.  MUCH OF THIS
ACTIVITY WILL AFFECT OUR SOUTHWEST INDIANA COUNTIES AND THE WESTERN
SECTIONS OF NORTH-CENTRAL KY OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO.

FURTHER SOUTH...NORTHERN EDGE OF SQUALL LINE MOVING THROUGH EXTREME
SOUTHERN KY. MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN FOCUSED ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE WHERE STRONGER BACKED SFC FLOW AND BETTER INSTABILITY HAS
BEEN FOCUSED.  VERY STRONG SUPERCELL BEARS WATCHING ACROSS NORTHERN
CHRISTIAN COUNTY KY....WHICH COULD AFFECT PORTIONS OF OHIO AND
BUTLER COUNTY IN THE NEXT HOUR.

PREVIOUS MORNING/MESOSCALE UPDATE...

...TORNADO WATCH NUMBER 131 IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM EDT...

SEVERAL ISSUES TO COVER THIS MORNING SO WELL GET RIGHT TO IT.
FIRST...DRY PUNCH OF AIR HAS WORKED INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS
MORNING.  OVERNIGHT CONVECTION HAS NOW MOVED NORTHEAST OF THE AREA
AND PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL KY HAS
CONTINUED TO MOVE NE AND WEAKENED.  THIS IS NOT SURPRISING GIVEN
THAT THE ATMOSPHERE GENERALLY EAST OF I-65 HAS BEEN WORKED OVER THIS
MORNING.  WITH SKIES GOING PARTLY CLOUDY...INSTABILITY PROBABLY WILL
INCREASE A BIT MORE THAN THE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS. GIVEN THE
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES...TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE SOUTH SHOULD CONTINUE
TO WARM QUITE RAPIDLY...ESPECIALLY AS SFC WARM FRONT ACROSS TN LIFTS
NORTHWARD.  TEMPS ACROSS SOUTHERN KY SHOULD WARM INTO THE MID AND
UPPER 60S WITH SOME 70S POSSIBLE ALONG THE KY/TN BORDER.  FURTHER
NORTH...TEMPERATURE FORECASTS ARE A BIT LESS CERTAIN GIVEN CLOUD
COVER AND EXPECTED MOVEMENT OF THE WARM FRONT.  FOR NOW HAVE LEFT
TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

SECONDLY...SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS ON THE INCREASE WITH OUR
SOUTHERN COUNTIES UNDER THE GUN THIS AFTERNOON.  SFC COLD FRONT WAS
ANALYZED JUST WEST WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.  COMBINATION OF
STRONG HEIGHT FALLS AHEAD OF IMPRESSIVE VORT MAX COMBINED WITH
INCREASING INSTABILITY...AND STRONGLY FORCED ASCENT ALONG THE FRONT
HAS RESULTED IN CONVECTION RAPIDLY DEVELOPING ACROSS FAR WEST
TENNESSEE.  REGIONAL VWPS FROM PAH AND MEM SHOW ABUNDANT LOW-LEVEL
SHEAR IN THE 0-3KM.  WHILE CONVECTION HAS BEEN MOSTLY LINEAR THUS
FAR...EXPECT STORMS TO BECOME A BIT MORE DISCRETE AS THE MORNING
WEARS ON.  MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUES TO WORK NORTH AS LOW 50S
DEWPOINTS NOW HAVE GOTTEN INTO FAR SOUTHERN KY.

GIVEN ALL THE OBSERVATIONAL AND MODEL DATA...FEEL THAT CONVECTIVE
LINE WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH EASTWARD AND MAINLY AFFECT THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF KY LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.  FEEL THAT
MAIN THREATS ACROSS SOUTHERN KY WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL
AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.  THOUGH...IT APPEARS THAT BEST THREAT OF
TORNADOES IS STILL JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA ACROSS MIDDLE TN.  FURTHER
NORTH ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KY...SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS STILL IN
QUESTION GIVEN THE LACK OF INSTABILITY.  HOWEVER...DYNAMICAL FORCING
ALOFT AND CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE SFC LOW COMING THROUGH THE REGION
MAY RESULT IN SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE REGION.  WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY.

AT THIS TIME...HAVE GENERALLY LEFT THE HIGH POPS STRUCTURE INTACT IN
THE FCST.  GIVEN THE ABUNDANT SHEAR AND INSTABILITY IN THE AREA WILL
KEEP SEVERE WORDING IN THE ZONES FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

UPDATED ZONES AND OTHER PRODUCTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...

...TWO ROUNDS OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TODAY...

THIS MORNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 10 AM EDT...

CURRENTLY A LOW PRESSURE CENTER IS LOCATED OVER SW MISSOURI.
ALTHOUGH IT IS FILLING IN/WEAKENING A BIT AS IT MOVES EASTWARD...IT
HAS DEVELOPED A SQUALL LINE DOWNSTREAM OVER WRN KY...RIDING ALONG
ITS ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT. THE WARM FRONT IS SLOWLY PUSHING
NORTHWARD AND CURRENTLY STRETCHES EASTWARD ROUGHLY ALONG THE TN/KY
BORDER. THUS AS THE SQUALL LINE MARCHES EASTWARD...STRONG TO
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING AS THE
LOW-LEVEL JET MAX OF 50-60 KTS NOSES INTO THE REGION TOWARDS
SUNRISE. HENCE...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN PLACE UNTIL 10 AM
EDT. MAIN THREATS WITH THE STRONGEST CELLS THIS MORNING WILL BE
60MPH WINDS AND POSSIBLY MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. THIS AREA OF
CONVECTION SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT CONTINUES EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA
ESPECIALLY EAST OF 65. LOCAL WRF...NAM/GFS/RUC AND SPC WRF ALL PUSH
THIS THROUGH THE REGION BY ABOUT 15-16Z...BUT SHOULD BE SUB-SEVERE
1-2 HOURS AFTER SUNRISE IF NOT BEFORE.

THIS AFTERNOON...SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE AGAIN...

AFTER A BREAK FROM THE MORNING PRECIP...ANOTHER SQUALL LINE IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE LOW PRESSURES COLD FRONT. THE LOW
WILL TRAVERSE ROUGHLY ALONG N-CNTRL KY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ALONG
WITH IT. NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY
ACCOMPANY THE SFC LOW...NAMELY AREAS ALONG AND SURROUNDING THE OHIO
RIVER. NAM IS A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE GFS WITH THE LOW
PLACEMENT...AND THUS IS LESS POTENT WITH FORECAST LIFTED INDICES
THIS AFTERNOON. NONETHELESS...A STRONG TO SEVERE LINE OF STORMS
SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE NORTHERN
END OF THE LINE AFFECTING SOUTH-CENTRAL KY...POSSIBLY FURTHER N INTO
CNTRL KY AND THE BLUEGRASS REGION. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL
WOULD BE THE MAIN THREATS WITH THIS AFTERNOONS CONVECTION MAINLY
ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM MORGANTOWN TO LEXINGTON. AN ISOLATED
TORNADO THREAT CAN NOT BE RULED OUT...WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF THAT
OCCURRING OVER OUR SRN/SERN CWA AFTER 2PM...MAINLY SOUTH OF A LINE
FROM MORGANTOWN TO STANFORD. THE MAIN LINE SHOULD BE EAST OF OUR CWA
BY 00Z...WITH RESIDUAL SHOWERS LASTING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS
THE LOW MOVES EAST.

TEMPS WILL BE CHALLENGING TODAY GIVEN THAT AREAS AROUND THE LOW
PRESSURE COULD BE SOCKED IN WITH SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED STORMS MOST OF
THE DAY. WENT WITH UPPER 50S NW TO UPPER 60S FAR SE. MUCH COLDER AIR
WILL FILTER IN TONIGHT AS THE LOW PUSHES EASTWARD...WITH UPPER 30S
NW TO MID-UPPER 40S SE FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS.

SATURDAY WILL BE CHILLY WITH LINGER MORNING SHOWERS ACROSS MAINLY
THE BLUEGRASS. FLOW WILL BE OUT OF THE NNE...WITH HIGHS REACHING THE
UPPER 50S NE TO LOW 60S SW.

LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...

WELL...GREAT WEATHER FOR EASTER SUNRISE AND FOR ALL EASTER
ACTIVITIES. THIS WILL TRANSITION TO A 36-48 HOUR PERIOD OF UNSETTLED
WEATHER AND THEN BACK TO SEASONAL TEMPS BY MID WEEK.

SAT NIGHT AND EASTER...

WELL...WE COMMENCE WITH A CHILLY EASTER SUNRISE WITH TEMPS IN THE
LOW TO MID 30S N AND E...AND UPPER 30S ACROSS THE S.  HIGH PRESSURE
WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE OUR WEATHER WITH TEMPS RISING IN TO THE
LOW TO MID 60S. EXPECT LATE DAY CI/CS CLOUDS ESPECIALLY ACRS THE W
AHEAD OF THE NEXT PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM COMING OUT OF THE LAND OF
ENCHANTMENT.

SUN NIGHT - TUE...

THE NEXT SURFACE LOW WILL EJECT OUT OF THE LONE STAR STATE AND PUSH
NE. H5 LOW POSITIONS HAVE THE GFS OVER OVER MCI WHILE THE NAM HAS IT
OVER TUL. DESPITE THESE DIFFERENCE ALOFT...THERE IS GOOD CLUSTERING
OF MODEL/ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE.  HAVE MADE MINIMAL CHANGES TO THE ENTIRE
GRID PACKAGE HAS DAY SHIFT FCST IS GENERALLY HOLDING TRUE.

ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS THE POPS AND WEATHER ACROSS THE CWA SUN
EVENING. THIS COULD BE A CASE WHERE THE PRECIP IS DELAYED...WITH THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THE PRECIP IS WEST OF I65 AND ESPECIALLY THE
BLUEGRASS COUNTIES UNTIL LATE SUN NIGHT. THE MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL
STILL PROVIDE SUBSIDENCE THAT SHOULD DELAY WAA PRECIP UNTIL AFTER
06Z MON ACRS ERN CWA. I CUT THE POPS DOWN TO WX NIL FOR ERN CWA
WHICH JIVES WELL WITH ILN AND JKL GRIDS.  THE DAY SHIFT MIGHT NEED
TO DELAY THE PRECIP FROM 00-06Z MON FURTHER TO THE WEST.  THE ECMWF
HAS BEEN PERSISTENT WITH THIS TIMING...SO WILL CONTINUE THE THEME OF
LIKELY POPS ON MON...WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVITY ON MONDAY
AM.

THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN TRANSITIONS INTO A SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW THAT
TAKES ITS TIME THRU THE SHOW ME STATE ON MON...THRU THE LAND OF
LINCOLN ON TUE AND BUCKEYE STATE WE. THIS WILL KEEP CHC/SCT SHOWERS
ACROSS CWA THRU TUE CWA WIDE...AND INTO EARLY WED ACROSS THE
BLUEGRASS COUNTIES. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL AND
CLOUD COVER WILL BE CRITICAL TO SEE HOW DIURNALS WORK.

WED-THU...

FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...319 PM EDT THU APR 9 WED.

WEDNESDAY WILL BRING ANOTHER BRIEF DRY SPELL BEFORE THE TREND
CONTINUES AND RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS CREEP BACK INTO THE FORECAST ON
THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAFS)...

SFC WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH KY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON.  NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS
THE REGION DUE TO STRONG LIFT AND JET DYNAMICS.  SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND STORMS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE KBWG AND KLEX TERMINALS THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON HOURS.  WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...KLEX SEEMS TO BE
MOST AT RISK OF SEEING STORMS AS THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF ACTIVITY TO
THE SOUTHWEST.  MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ACROSS SOUTHERN
TN WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ENE DURING THE AFTERNOON.  CONVECTION OVER
NEAR KHOP/KCKV WILL PUSH EAST AND AFFECT KBWG BETWEEN 18-22Z.

FURTHER NORTH AT THE KSDF TERMINAL...CURRENT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST.  ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT SEEMS
LIKELY ACROSS WEST CENTRAL KY THIS AFTERNOON AND MAY AFFECT KSDF
BETWEEN 18-22Z AS WELL.

MVFR TO HIGH IFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL BE POSSIBLE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED
THAT DUE TO LOW FREEZING LEVELS...QUITE A BIT OF GRAUPEL HAS BEEN
REPORTED...SO ANY STORM MOVING THROUGH THE TERMINAL MAY PRODUCE THIS
AS WELL.

CONDITIONS SHOULD START TO IMPROVE AT ALL SITES AFTER 11/00Z AS
SYSTEM PULLS OFF TO THE EAST AND DRIER AIR STARTS TO FILTER IN FROM
THE NW.  SKIES SHOULD GO MOSTLY CLEAR BY 11/12Z.
