AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
126 PM EDT WED JUL 21 2010

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

...FORECAST UPDATE...

TRAINING STORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN
ISSUE THIS AFTERNOON. STORMS ACROSS THAT REGION FORMED ALONG AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THE STORMS THAT MOVED ACROSS NORTH AND EAST
CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS MORNING. A BRISK SOUTHWEST MOIST FLOW WILL
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP
ALONG THIS BOUNDARY DURING THE AFTERNOON. ALSO THE HIGH RESOLUTION
MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE STORM DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA. SO WE
WILL MENTION LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH WITH THE MENTION OF
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. WE WILL KEEP POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY OVER
THE NORTH. I HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES ALTHOUGH
READINGS MAY NOT REACH FORECAST HIGHS BECAUSE OF CLOUD COVER AND
RAINFALL.

FORECAST IS ALREADY OUT.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE WEAK MCS CROSSING
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AT 07Z IN THE FORM OF A BOWED BROKEN SQUALL LINE.
THIS FEATURE IS MOVING DUE EAST ALONG AN AXIS OF MOISTURE
POOLING...GREATER INSTABILITY...AND THETA-E RIDGING. THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE LINE HAS BEEN FALLING APART...BUT THE APEX OF THE BOW
SHOULD SURVIVE A FEW MORE HOURS INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA...AND THEN IT
TOO SHOULD BEGIN TO DISINTEGRATE AROUND THE TIME IT CROSSES I-65.
SO...HAVE TIMED THIS AREA OF STORMS INTO THE LMK CWFA EARLY THIS
MORNING USING RADAR LOOPS.

IN SUBSIDENCE AND RELATIVE STABILITY BEHIND THE DEPARTING MCS WE
SHOULD SEE A LULL IN THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. THEN THIS AFTERNOON ONCE
WE HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO DESTABILIZE RENEWED SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED. ANY CONVECTION THAT DOES DEVELOP SHOULD
GENERALLY WANE AFTER SUNSET THIS EVENING...WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN
THE NORTH.

AGAIN TODAY THE MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS WILL BE LOCALLY VERY HEAVY
RAIN. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR AREAS HIT REPEATEDLY BY
STORMS AS THEY CONTINUE TO TRAVEL FROM WEST TO EAST IN A CORRIDOR
THROUGH SOUTHERN INDIANA AND FAR NORTHERN KENTUCKY. SINCE RAINS
OVERNIGHT HAVE BEEN ALMOST NIL THERE IS NOT A NEED FOR A HEADLINE IN
THE LMK CWA AT THIS TIME...AS OPPOSED TO AREAS TO OUR EAST AND
NORTHEAST THAT RECEIVED VERY HEAVY RAIN OVERNIGHT.

TEMPERATURES YESTERDAY MANAGED TO REACH THE LOWER 90S CENTRAL AND
WEST AND UPPER 80S IN THE EAST DESPITE MORNING RAIN AND CLOUDS...SO
WILL GO WITH NUMBERS TODAY VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. WITH DEW
POINTS IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S THAT WOULD PRODUCE HEAT INDEX
READINGS AT THE PEAK HEATING OF THE AFTERNOON AROUND 100 DEGREES
WEST OF I-65 AND IN THE UPPER 90S TO THE EAST. ALSO THERE SHOULD BE
LESS OF A BREEZE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY...MAKING FOR MORE
UNCOMFORTABLE CONDITIONS.

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY - TUESDAY)...

THURSDAY - SUNDAY...

THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY OVER OUR AREA WILL MOVE NORTH ON
THURSDAY.  HOWEVER...WARM MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW COMBINED WITH DAY
TIME HEATING INSTABILITY...SHOULD STILL BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE
SCATTERED CONVECTION MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
WITH WEAK SHEAR AND CAPE PROFILES...LOOKS LIKE MOST STORMS WILL STAY
SUB SEVERE.

BY FRIDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING TO OUR SOUTH WILL HAVE STRENGTHENED
ENOUGH TO PUSH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO OUR NORTH.  WITH THE STRONG
RIDGING IN PLACE AND H85 TEMPS IN THE 20 TO 21 DEGREES C
RANGE...FRI/SAT WILL BE HOT AND MUGGY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 90S.
WITH DEWPOINTS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOWER 70S...WE/LL LIKELY SEE
HEAT INDICES TOPPLE THE 100 MARK AGAIN.  USE CAUTION IF YOU PLAN TO
BE OUTDOORS THIS WEEKEND.

A NORTHERN STREAM UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW WILL
ENTER THE GREAT LAKES REGION EARLY SATURDAY.  THE SFC COOL FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE A TRIGGER FOR THUNDERSTORMS
BEGINNING AS EARLY AS SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THE MAIN PRECIP WILL
HOLD OFF WITH THE FROPA TO OCCUR SOMETIME LATE SATURDAY NIGHT OR
EARLY SUNDAY.  SOME STRONG STORMS LOOK TO BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS
FROPA WITH MODEST CAPE AND A DECENT SHEAR PROFILE APPARENT IN MODEL
SOUNDINGS.  SUNDAY MORNING LOWS OR SUNDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL BE
TRICKY DEPENDING ON THE EXACT TIMING OF THE FROPA.  ALTHOUGH WE
WON/T EXPERIENCE A BIG COOL DOWN WITH THIS FRONT...HIGH TEMPS SUN
SHOULD DROP INTO THE UPPER 80S FOR MOST LOCATIONS ACROSS THE AREA.
90 WILL STILL BE THE RULE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KY HOWEVER.

MONDAY - TUESDAY...

HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE MON/TUES FORECAST.  WITH THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR SOUTH...PRECIP SHOULD STAY SOUTH AS WELL.
WE/LL STILL STAY WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S/LOW 90S...BUT
DEWPTS LOOK TO DROP OFF INTO THE 60S SO NOT QUITE AS MUGGY.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST
SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THESE STORMS WILL AFFECT THE BWG TAF LOCATION BUT SHOULD REMAIN
SOUTH OF SDF AND LEX. SO FOR NOW I WILL MENTION A TEMPO GROUP FOR
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH 22Z AT BWG AND THIS MAY HAVE TO BE EXTENDED. I
HAVE ALSO MENTIONED SOME EVENING STORMS IN A VCTS AT SDF BUT THESE
WILL MOST LIKELY STAY NORTH OF THE REGION. THERE WILL BE SOME
REDUCTION IN VSBYS AT BWG AND LEX OVERNIGHT WITH ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON MAINLY AFTER 18Z.
