AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
610 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011

.SHORT TERM...UPDATED

MESOSCALE UPDATE...

ZFP WAS UPDATED FOR TORNADO WATCH 239. INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET IS
LEADING TO ENOUGH INSTABILITY THAT WHEN COMBINED WITH INCREASING WIND
FIELDS AS SFC LOW TRACKS THROUGH THE OH VALLEY AND BACKING SFC WINDS...
SHEAR AND INSTABILITY COMBINATION WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR LINES OR
BOW ECHOES AND DISCRETE SUPERCELLS. ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE
AS WELL AS DAMAGING WINDS. THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR ANY TORNADOES OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS IS ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA NEAR THE TN BORDER. IN ADDITION...TRAINING OF CELLS WILL NEED TO
BE MONITORED.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/

18Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS THE NEXT LOW CENTER DEEPENING OVER ARKANSAS
AND WESTERN TENNESSEE. SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF STORMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FEATURE WITH THE LEAD ONE BRUSHING UP INTO EAST KENTUCKY AS A
SWATH OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS.
JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THIS FIRST WAVE THE STORM CELLS ARE MORE
DISCRETE AND THEREFORE PRONE TO BECOME STRONG/SEVERE. ADDITIONAL
STORMS ARE NOTED FURTHER WEST OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM MOVING IN CURRENTLY...SOME CLEARING AND A ONLY GLANCING BLOW
FROM THE MORNING/S STORMS HAVE ALLOWED SOME INSTABILITY TO BUILD AS
TEMPERATURES PEAK IN THE LOWER 80S...WHILE DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE MID
50S IN THE EAST TO THE LOWER 60S OVER THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY. THE
CURRENT MOSAIC RADAR SHOWS A LINE OF ENHANCED CELLS PUSHING NORTH
THROUGH EASTERN TENNESSEE...HEADING FOR THIS AREA OF MEDIOCRE
INSTABILITY. THIS LIKELY REPRESENTS THE NEXT THREAT FOR SEVERE
WEATHER LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH A GREATER CONCERN ARISING LATER IN
THE EVENING WHEN THE CURRENT...MORE STRATIFORM...BATCH OF PCPN TO THE
WEST DISSIPATES OR PUSHES FURTHER NORTHEAST INTO THE CWA.

WITH THE EVENT NOW UPON US...THE MODELS ARE IN REASONABLY GOOD
AGREEMENT ALOFT AS A SHARP...NEGATIVELY TILTED...TROUGH SCRAPES
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE CORE OF ITS
ENERGY WILL ROTATE QUICKLY NORTH TO THE GREAT LAKES BY THURSDAY
MORNING WITH A SECONDARY UPPER LOW PIVOTING SOUTH THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN OHIO VALLEY. THIS LATTER LOW WILL FORM THE BASE OF A LARGER
TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF THE NATION
LATER THURSDAY AND THROUGH FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME TIMING
DIFFERENCES AMONGST THE MODELS WITH THIS EVOLUTION...THEY ALL PAINT
THE SAME PICTURE AND WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SIMILAR SENSIBLE WEATHER
FOR EAST KENTUCKY. ACCORDINGLY...HAVE FOLLOWED A BLENDED SOLUTION
WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE NAM12 FOR DYNAMIC SPECIFICS IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND THE OVERALL PCPN PATTERN FROM THE
00Z ECMWF.

SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE A COMPLICATED EVOLUTION TO THE HEAVY
RAIN AND SEVERE THREAT THROUGH THE EVENING AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF
THE NIGHT. INSTABILITY REMAINS THE MISSING INGREDIENT ATTM FOR STORMS
ACROSS EAST KENTUCKY WHILE THE WIND PROFILE IS QUITE FAVORABLE FOR
ROTATING UPDRAFTS AND DISCRETE CELLS. INSTABILITY IS ANTICIPATED TO
BE ADVECTED INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST IN THE WAKE OR AS PART
OF THIS LATEST BATCH OF RAIN MOVING NORTHEAST INTO THE CUMBERLAND
VALLEY. ACCORDINGLY...THE ENTIRE CWA REMAINS UNDER A SIGNIFICANT
THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING...WITH
TORNADOES A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY. HAVE CONTINUED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS
THREAT IN ALL PRODUCTS AND THE WX GRIDS. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO
SEE THE NEED FOR ANOTHER TORNADO WATCH THROUGH MUCH OF THE AREA
WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS. ALL PERSONS IN EAST KENTUCKY NEED TO REMAIN
WEATHER AWARE THROUGH THE EVENING FOR AN EXPECTED RAPIDLY CHANGING
AND LIKELY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION.

HEAVY TO EXCESSIVE RAIN WILL ALSO BE A STRONG POSSIBILITY WITH THE
STORMS TONIGHT...SEE THE HYDROLOGY DISCUSSION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

THE COLD FRONT PLOWS THROUGH THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT EFFECTIVELY ENDING THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND
HEAVY RAINS. COOLER CONDITIONS FOLLOW BY DAWN. HOWEVER...A STRONG
WIND FIELD WILL REMAIN AND A WIND ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE CONSIDERED
ONCE THE NEAR TERM SEVERE THREAT DIMINISHES. FOLLOWING AN EXTENDED
POST-FRONTAL DRY SLOT...THE WRAP AROUND LOW CLOUDS AND PCPN FROM THE
SFC LOW...ALONG WITH A SECONDARY COLD FRONT...WILL GRADUALLY SLIP
SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA LATER THURSDAY MAKING FOR A CLOUDY AND COOL
END TO THE DAY. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THIS
BOUNDARY FOR MOST OF THE AREA THAT EVENING AND INTO THE NIGHT.
FOLLOWING THE COOL AND POTENTIALLY DAMP NIGHT...FRIDAY WILL TURN OUT
PARTLY SUNNY AND SLIGHTLY WARMER AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
AREA.

FOLLOWED A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE...TRENDS...INHERITED GRIDS AND THE
LATEST GUIDANCE FROM THE ADJMET FOR TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD
ALONG WITH ONLY MINOR TERRAIN BASED ADJUSTMENTS. AS FOR POPS...MAXED
THEM OUT TONIGHT AND WENT BELOW MOS FOR THE MOST PART THURSDAY...
THOUGH MORE IN LINE WITH THE CHANCE CATEGORY MET NUMBERS THURSDAY
NIGHT. WENT DRY ON FRIDAY.

.LONG TERM.../FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST BEGINS WITH RIDGING ACROSS THE
REGION ON FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH DRY WEATHER TO START THE WEEKEND. A
COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO BE APPROACHING KENTUCKY FROM THE WEST BY
SUNDAY MORNING...AND WILL CARRY A CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF FORECAST AREA FOR SUNDAY
NIGHT. AS THE FRONT SLOWLY MAKES ITS WAY EAST WILL INCREASE
PROBABILITY TO CHANCE FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY...BUT
WILL CARRY ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST FOR SUNDAY.

THERE IS SOME QUESTION ON HOW QUICKLY THE FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH
KENTUCKY. THE 12Z OPERATIONAL GFS APPEARS TOO FAST WITH THE COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH THE FRONT WELL SOUTHEAST OF KENTUCKY BY 12Z
MONDAY. THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN SUPPORTS A SLIGHTLY SLOWER SOLUTION.
WILL FOLLOW THE SLOWER FRONTAL MOVEMENT DEPICTED BY THE 12Z ECMWF
AND GEM. FOLLOWING THE ECMWF AND GEM...AS WELL AS HPC GUIDANCE
YIELDS A SOLUTION WHERE THE FRONT WILL BE ABOUT ONE HALF WAY ACROSS
KENTUCKY AT 12Z MONDAY. AS A RESULT WILL CARRY THE HIGHEST CHANCES
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. WILL
CONTINUE WITH HIGH CHANCE PROBABILITIES IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE
FORECAST AREA MONDAY NIGHT...WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE FAR
NORTHWEST. A COOLER AIR MASS WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FOLLOWING THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH COOLER WEATHER FOR TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES LOOK
TO REBOUND QUICKLY BY WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/

INTERESTING WEATHER SITUATION UNFOLDING THROUGH THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE INITIAL ROUND OF STORMS HAVE DISSIPATED
WITH ANOTHER BATCH...BUT MOSTLY JUST SHOWERS...MOVING NORTHEAST INTO
THE AREA ATTM. EXPECT THIS TO EVOLVE INTO A CLUSTER OF MORE DISCRETE
CELLS LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH SEVERE STORMS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY.
WHETHER THESE LATEST STORMS WILL CLEAR OUT BEFORE THE NEXT BATCH
ARRIVES THIS EVENING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL BE A GOOD
QUESTION...AS WELL. ACCORDINGLY...HAVE GONE WITH 23-00Z AS A GENERAL
ARRIVAL POINT FOR THE CORE OF THE ANY MCS MOVING SLOWLY FROM WEST TO
EAST THROUGH EAST KENTUCKY. WITH THESE STORMS HAVE BROUGHT VIS AND
CIGS DOWN INTO MVFR AND TEMPORARILY IFR. IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD
FRONT LATER TONIGHT...CIGS WILL FALL FURTHER AND HOLD AT THE CUSP OF
IFR RANGE ALONG WITH MVFR FOG. WINDS WILL BE QUITE GUSTY THROUGH
THE NIGHT...OUTSIDE OF ANY STORMS WHEN THERE COULD BE SEVERE GUSTS...
AT 10 TO 20 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 30 FROM THE SOUTH SWITCHING TO THE WEST
LATE. THESE WILL SETTLE DOWN SOMEWHAT FOR THE FIRST PART OF THURSDAY
BLOWING FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 KTS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY

ONE OR TWO CLUSTERS OF ORGANIZED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL MOVE
OVER EAST KENTUCKY LATER THIS EVENING AND THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF
THE NIGHT AHEAD OF A POTENT COLD FRONT. BETWEEN ONE AND TWO INCHES OF
RAIN WILL LIKELY FALL THROUGH THE AREA FROM THIS WITH THE HIGHEST
AMOUNTS IN THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE AREA. DUE TO THE ANTICIPATED HEAVY
NATURE OF THE RAIN WITH THESE CLUSTERS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
THUNDERSTORMS TRAINING OVER THE SAME AREAS THERE IS A HEIGHTENED
THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING THROUGH THE NIGHT. FOR THAT REASON A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY. RIVER FLOODING LOOKS
MORE IFFY AT THIS TIME WITH EVEN TWO INCHES OF BASIN WIDE RUNOFF
FORECASTED LIKELY TO KEEP MOST RIVERS FROM EXCEEDING ACTION STAGE.
