What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at May 3, 1:45 AM EDT, 1 hour 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 3, 1:45 AM EDT, 1 hour 8 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
145 AM EDT MON MAY 3 2010

.SHORT TERM.../REST OF TONIGHT/

HEAVY RAIN BAND IS NOW SHIFTING EVER SO SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST. THIS
MEANS THE FLOOD THREAT IS INCREASING ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF OUR
FORECAST AREA. VERY HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS IN
TENNESSEE WILL SHIFT NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS INTO THE HEART
OF OUR CWA. OBSERVED 1-HR PRECIP RATES WITH THIS CONVECTION ARE OVER
1 INCH PER HOUR... AND IN SOME CASES WELL OVER 1 INCH PER HOUR... AND
EXCEEDS OUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES EASILY. THEREFORE ADDITIONAL
FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ARE LIKELY TONIGHT TO THE EAST OF THE COUNTIES
CURRENTLY UNDER AREAL FLOOD WARNINGS.

FLOOD WARNINGS ARE ALSO BEING WORKED UP FOR THE KY RIVER AT
HEIDELBERG. THESE WILL ADD TO THE WARNINGS ALREADY IN EFFECT FOR THE
RED RIVER AT CLAY CITY AND THE KY RIVER AT RAVENNA. ADDITIONAL
WARNINGS ARE LIKELY ON THE CUMBERLAND LATER TONIGHT DEPENDING ON
RAINFALL AMOUNTS RECEIVED IN THAT BASIN OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
HOURS.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/

A DEEP MOISTURE PLUME AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT AND LONGWAVE TROUGH WAS
FUELING HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE N AND W PORTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY. THE SETUP WAS NEARLY STATIONARY...
LEADING TO FLASH FLOODING. IN ADDITION...WINDS ALOFT ARE RATHER
STRONG...AND WITH HEATING THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE AHEAD OF THE MAIN
PRECIP SHIELD...THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO MIX DOWN DAMAGING
WINDS THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

THE ENTIRE REGIME WILL SHIFT EASTWARD TONIGHT. CAN NOT RULE OUT
FLOODING RAINS IN THE SE PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT THE SYSTEM
SHOULD BE MORE PROGRESSIVE...AND SIMILAR RESULTS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED
IN THE NW PART OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY ARE NOT LIKELY.
HOWEVER...WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA...WILL LEAVE IT IN PLACE. PLAN TO TRIM BACK THE TIME A
BIT...WITH THE THREAT FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ENDING DURING THE NIGHT.

A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER EARLY IN THE DAY ON MONDAY...ESPECIALLY IN
THE SE PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. OTHERWISE...THE COLD FRONT WILL
PROGRESS TO OUR EAST AND HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE
WEST WITH DECREASING CLOUDS.

A SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSING BY OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY ON
MONDAY NIGHT MAY PRODUCE A FEW SHOWERS IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES.
HOWEVER...THE BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIP AND THUNDER WILL BE TO OUR NORTH.

.LONG TERM.../TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/

A QUIET START TO THE PERIOD IS FORECAST...WITH ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AND
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE JUST TO OUR SE. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL HEAD
OUR WAY FROM THE NW LATE IN THE WEEK...WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION
RETURNING AHEAD OF IT. THE GFS DIFFERS FROM THE ECMWF AND GEM LATE IN
THE WEEK...AND DOES NOT DEVELOP THE STRONG SURFACE LOW OVER THE
MIDWEST LIKE ITS FOREIGN COUNTERPARTS DO. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH
LATE IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND FOR TIMING OF THE FRONT. USING A
BROADBRUSH APPROACH...THE HIGHEST POPS WILL BE ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT...IN THE CHANCE RANGE.

&&

.AVIATION.../06Z TO 06Z/...UPDATED

THE LARGE AREA OF RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS NOW AFFECTING THE
TAF SITES IS FINALLY BEGINNING TO GET SHOVED OFF TO THE EAST. AS
SUCH... WE EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS FROM WEST TO EAST BETWEEN NOW
AND DAWN ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY. IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD QUICKLY JUMP
TO MVFR AND THEN VFR AS THE RAIN ENDS AND LOWER CLOUDS DISSIPATE.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED AFTER SUNRISE ON MONDAY THROUGH THE
END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

&&

.JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 6 AM EDT EARLY THIS MORNING FOR KYZ044-
050>052-058>060-068-069-079-080-083>088-104-106>120.
