AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1035 PM EST THU FEB 24 2011

.SHORT TERM...UPDATED

MESOSCALE UPDATE...

03Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS DEEP LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHEAST ALONG THE
WESTERN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY BORDER. THE WARM FRONT THAT STRETCHES
EAST OF THIS LOW WILL REMAIN THE FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR THE HEAVY
RAINS. CLOSER TO THE LOW...A SQUAT LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE RACING EAST INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY. A FEW OF
THESE ARE EVEN GIVING INDICATIONS OF A POTENTIAL FOR ROTATING STORMS.
TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED RUNNING RIGHT UP
TO OUR BORDER WITH LMK. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO WEAKEN AS THEY RUN
EAST INTO A LESS SUPPORTIVE AIR MASS...THOUGH THEY WILL STILL HAVE
THE POSSIBILITY TO CONTAIN STRONG TO DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AS THEY MOVE
INTO THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY. ADDITIONALLY...IF A WEAKENING TREND DOES
NOT MATERIALIZE OVER THE NEXT HOUR AN EASTWARD EXTENSION OF THE WATCH
MAY BE WARRANTED. HAVE UPDATED THE GRIDS TO REFLECT THE SVR POTENTIAL
AND HIGHER WIND GUST THREAT. THESE WILL ALSO BE MENTIONED IN THE
ZONES...AS WELL. THE THREAT IS PRETTY MUCH LIMITED TO THE FAR
SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA AND MAINLY SOUTH OF THE HAL ROGERS
PARKWAY.

FURTHER NORTH...THE RENEWAL OF THE MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. THESE AREAS WILL BE MOST
UNDER THREAT OF FLOODING FROM THE PROLONGED RAINS OF THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING. THE FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR THIS AREA FOR THAT REASON. FURTHER SOUTH...DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH
THE STORMS CAN HOLD TOGETHER WITH THEIR TORRENTIAL RAINS...FLASH
FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN THAT WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY.
MOST OF THE SOUTHERN THREAT AREA CONTINUES TO BE CONTAINED IN THE
FLOOD WATCH...WITH BELL COUNTY THE NOTABLE EXCEPTION. WITH SOME
UNCERTAINTY OVER HOW WELL THE STORMS CAN MAINTAIN THEMSELVES INTO FAR
EAST KENTUCKY WILL KEEP BELL OUT OF THE WATCH FOR NOW...BUT THEY WILL
HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR EXCESSIVE RUNOFF GIVEN THEIR GAUDY
RAIN AMOUNTS FROM THIS MORNING.

ADDITIONALLY...THE LATEST RFC RIVER GUIDANCE...INCORPORATING THE
PCPN FROM THE PAST 12 TO 18 HOURS WITH THE FORECAST QPF FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT...HAS BROUGHT MOST OF THE CREST FOR RIVER
POINTS LOWER...PARTICULARLY OVER THE KENTUCKY BASIN. ON THE OTHER
HAND...SEVERAL POINTS ALONG THE CUMBERLAND WILL LIKELY SEE HIGHER
CRESTS. THESE WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE THE NEW RIVER
FORECASTS...BUT IF THEY REMAIN BELOW FLOOD STAGE NO PRODUCTS WILL BE
ISSUED PRIOR TO THE RIVERS APPROACHING ACTION STAGE. UPDATES TO THE
FORECAST HAVE BEEN SENT...THOUGH FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS ARE POSSIBLE
DEPENDING ON HOW THE SITUATION EVOLVES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/TONIGHT/

RAIN IS BUILDING BACK INTO THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE LULL IN
THE RAIN OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA EARLY TODAY WILL LIKELY BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING A SIGNIFICANT BITE OUT OF THE OVERALL QPF
TOTALS FOR THIS EVENT. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH...HIGHEST TOTALS HAVE
BEEN CLOSER TO THE INTERSTATE 75 CORRIDOR AND ALONG THE KY...TN STATE
LINE WHERE AN INCH OR MORE OF RAIN HAS FALLEN. MODELS TRENDS THUS FAR
HAVE BEEN TOO FAR NORTH WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE HIGHEST RAINFALL
TOTALS. MORNING SOLUTIONS HAVE ALSO SHIFTED THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM NORTHWARD CLOSER TO THE OHIO RIVER.
RADAR TRENDS DO SHOW THE BULK OF PRECIPITATION SHIFTING NORTHWARD
WITH TIME NOW. HOWEVER...BASED ON RECENT PERFORMANCE WILL KEEP
CURRENT WATCH INTACT IN CASE MODELS ARE AGAIN TOO FAR NORTH WITH
PLACEMENT OF HIGHEST QPF TOTALS FROM NOW THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. WE
STILL HAVE THE COLD FRONT TO CONTEND WITH...SO ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS
AND FLASH FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A TREAT UNTIL THE FRONT MAKES
IT THROUGH THE AREA BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. ALSO USED A NON DIURNAL
TREND FOR OVERNIGHT TEMPS...WITH HOURLY TEMPS DRIVEN BY THE PASSING
BOUNDARY.

A NEW CONCERN HAS RISEN AND CENTERS ON A DEVELOPING 70 TO 80 KT H850
LOW LEVEL JET OVERNIGHT. FCST SOUNDINGS AND THETA-E TIME HEIGHT
PROFILES INDICATE THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL SUCCUMB TO THESE HIGHER
WINDS AND MIX DOWN TO THE SFC LATE TONIGHT...OR TOWARDS DAWN FRIDAY
MORNING AS THE MAIN SFC LOW OF THIS STORM SYSTEM PASSES JUST TO OUR
NORTHWEST. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO GUST BEHIND THE FRONT FOR SEVERAL
HOURS. DECIDED TO ISSUE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE AREA FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF HIGHER WIND GUSTS. WILL ALSO PASS CONCERNS ON TO
UPCOMING SHIFTS. WITH A NOW SATURATED GROUND AND THE ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...FELLED TREES AND ASSOCIATED MUD SLIDES
WILL BECOME A HAZARD.

.LONG TERM.../TOMORROW THROUGH THURSDAY/

THE MODELS ARE IN UNUSUALLY GOOD AGREEMENT. ONCE THE UPPER TROUGH
MOVES THOUGH THE AREA ON FRIDAY...THEN THE WE STAY UNDER A ZONAL FLOW
REGIME UNTIL ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH ROTATES THROUGH THE AREA FROM
SUNDAY TO MONDAY.

THE FRONT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY TOMORROW MORNING BETWEEN
7 AND 11 AM. THE TIME HEIGHT OUTPUT ARE SHOWING VERTICAL THETA
SURFACES WITH THE FRONT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE HIGHER VELOCITY
WINDS ALOFT TO EASILY MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. WE HAVE ISSUED A LAKE
WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS SYSTEM HOWEVER MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE TO A
GENERAL WIND ADVISORY. WE WILL WAIT UNTIL WE SEE THE MODEL RUNS THIS
EVENING AND WE WILL ALSO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF LOOKING AT UPSTREAM
STATIONS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE FRONT PASSES THERE. THE HEAVY
RAIN SHOULD CUT OFF PRETTY ABRUPTLY WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AND THEN
TRANSITION TO SCATTERED SHOWERS. THESE SHOWERS WILL BE ENHANCED WITH
THE UPSLOPE FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE IN
AND DOMINATE THROUGH SATURDAY. ON SUNDAY...THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING INTO THE AREA. THIS SYSTEM WILL FINALLY
MOVE OUT OF THE AREA ON MONDAY NIGHT. THE AREA WILL REMAIN DRY
THROUGH THE REST OF THE FORECAST. WITH THE MODELS IN GOOD
AGREEMENT...GENERALLY STAYED CLOSE TO MOS FOR THE TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION.../00Z TO 24Z/

THE POTENT STORM SYSTEM IS BREWING OVER THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI BASIN
AND HAS SPAWNED A WARM FRONT THAT IS LIFTING SLOWLY NORTH THROUGH
KENTUCKY. LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINS ARE FALLING ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS
BOUNDARY WITH LOWER CIGS AND VIS. TO THE SOUTH...THE PCPN IS
TAPERING OFF WHILE CIGS RISE AND VIS IMPROVES. A TRANSITION WILL TAKE
PLACE THIS EVENING AS THE FRONT LIFTS NORTH IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
APPROACH OF THE MAIN LOW AND ITS STRONG COLD FRONT. THIS RESPITE FROM
THE POORER AVN CONDITIONS WILL BE QUITE BRIEF...THOUGH...AS THE LOW
AND ITS FRONT SWARMS INTO EAST KENTUCKY LATER TONIGHT WITH LOW CIGS
AND VIS. EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL THIS EVENING
ALONG THE STRENGTHENING WARM FRONT AND ALSO AS ISOLATED CELLS TO ITS
SOUTH. HAVE ADDED THIS TO THE TAFS AND GRIDS. AN ADDITIONAL CONCERN
IS THE HIGH WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE THAT WILL HAVE TROUBLE MIXING
DOWN UNTIL THE FRONT GETS CLOSER. FOR THIS REASON HAVE CONTINUED THE
LLWS IN ALL THE TAFS WELL INTO THE NIGHT. WINDS WITH THE ACTUAL FRONT
WILL ALSO BE GUSTY...BUT THE WIND DIRECTIONS SWITCH TO THE WEST
SHOULD SIGNAL THE START OF IMPROVING AVN CONDITIONS WITH CIGS RISING
AT LEAST TO MVFR ALONG WITH VIS...THOUGH SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS WILL
STILL BE AROUND THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS OF FRIDAY.
