AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
322 PM EDT SUN MAY 22 2011

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...UPDATED

THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH GENERALLY MAINTAINING BROAD
SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CURRENTLY SPINNING ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WILL DAMPEN AND EVENTUALLY BE ABSORBED INTO A DEEPER
TROUGH TRAVERSING SOUTHEAST CANADA. MEANWHILE...ANOTHER STRONG SHORT
WAVE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND EVENTUALLY CUTOFF AS
IT DEVELOPS ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS.

OCCLUDED/COLD FRONT CURRENTLY ALIGNED FROM SOUTHERN MN DOWN THROUGH
SOUTHERN KS WILL WEAKEN AND EVENTUALLY LAY OUT ALONG OR JUST NORTH OF
THE OHIO RIVER BY TUESDAY...WITH A DEEPER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
ORGANIZING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

CURRENTLY...A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS DEVELOPED OUT AHEAD
OF AN APPROACHING MCS OUT OF TN/AR. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR
OUT AHEAD OF THIS LINE WILL SUPPORT A SEVERE THREAT THROUGH THE REST
OF THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. ONCE THIS LINE MOVES
THROUGH...CONVECTION WILL BE ON THE DEMISE UNTIL OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT...WHEN A LOW LEVEL JET RAMPS UP ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. THE
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS FEATURE...SO HAVE RAMPED UP
POPS TO LIKELY FOR MOST BETWEEN 06 AND 12Z.

THE NOCTURNALLY DRIVEN LOW LEVEL JET WILL SUBSIDE MONDAY MORNING...
WITH MODELS SHOWING SOME SHORT WAVE RIDGING TAKING PLACE DURING THE
DAY AND SOUNDINGS DRYING OUT. STILL...CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED CONVECTION RE-FIRING IN THE AFTERNOON...WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES NEARBY.

MONDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER LOW LEVEL WILL RAMP UP ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY...YIELDING AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN BETWEEN 06 AND
12Z. SINCE THE JET WILL BE MORE FOCUSED A BIT FURTHER NORTH...HAVE
FAVORED A NORTH TO SOUTH GRADIENT IN POPS.

BY TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE
TRAVERSING THE SURFACE BOUNDARY NEARBY. WILL GENERALLY MAINTAIN
HIGHER POPS IN THE NORTH AND LESS IN SOUTH. THERE WILL BE AN ONGOING
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE THREAT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS
WELL...PARTICULARLY DURING THE TIMES OF PEAK HEATING.

FOR TEMPERATURES...STUCK CLOSE TO THE INHERITED NUMBERS...FAVORING A
MORE DIURNALLY LIMITED RANGE IN TEMPERATURES...WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW
TO MID 80S AND LOWS IN THE 60S.

.LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...UPDATED

THE MODELS SEEM TO BE IN BETTER AGREEMENT ALOFT FOR THE START OF THE
EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST TODAY THAN YESTERDAY. A PROGRESSIVE
CLOSED LOW WILL ROTATE ITS WAY EAST THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND
INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY. AS THIS HAPPENS
RIDGING WILL BUILD BRIEFLY THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE
NATION. HOWEVER...THIS LOW WILL OPEN UP BY THURSDAY MORNING AND
DIFFERENCES BEGIN TO MAGNIFY IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS. THE GFS STARTS
TO MOVE THIS FEATURE FASTER TO THE EAST WHEN COMPARED TO THE GEM AND
00Z ECMWF. REGARDLESS...AS THIS LOW FILLS ITS ENERGY WILL DRIFT EAST
THROUGH THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY DURING THE DAY THURSDAY CARRIED BY MID
LEVEL SOUTHWEST FLOW. BY 00Z FRIDAY...THE ECMWF IS CLEARLY THE LEAST
PROGRESSIVE MODEL AT 500 MBS...HOLDING BACK THE BULK OF ITS ENERGY.
THESE TIMING DIFFERENCES MAINTAIN THE LOWER THAN USUAL CONFIDENCE
LEVELS FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE EXTENDED. THE QUESTION REMAINS FOR
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND JUST HOW THE EASTERN TROUGH EVOLVES IN THE WAKE
OF RE-ENFORCING ENERGY ENTERING THE PICTURE FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE
ECMWF...TO A GREATER EXTENT THAN THE OTHERS...ALLOWS THE ENERGY FROM
THE NEXT WAVE TO MEET UP WITH ITS OHIO VALLEY TROUGH. THIS WILL
EFFECTIVELY HOLD THE LOW HEIGHTS IN PLACE...NEARLY OVERHEAD...WELL
INTO THE WEEKEND. IN FACT...BY SUNDAY...THE PREFERRED ECMWF IS
ENTIRELY OUT OF PHASE WITH THE GFS...REFLECTING A DEEP CLOSED LOW
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY RATHER THAN RIDGING. GIVEN CONTINUITY AND
ENSEMBLE SUPPORT HAVE FOLLOWED THE 00Z ECMWF FOR WEATHER DETAILS.

SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE SEVERAL SFC WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE
OHIO VALLEY IN CONJUNCTION WITH A WAVY BOUNDARY LYING JUST NORTH OF
THE CWA. INITIALLY THIS WILL FAVOR THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE AREA
FOR CONVECTION...BUT ONCE INITIATED...OUTFLOWS AND MESO/MICROSCALE
FEATURES WILL DRIVE THE EVOLUTION OF ANY STORMS...LOWERING
PREDICTABILITY. THE CONVECTION WILL LIKELY FAVOR A DIURNAL PEAK LATE
EACH AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...BUT NOCTURNAL ACTIVITY FROM THE
NORTHWEST MAY IMPINGE ON PARTS OF THE AREA WELL AFTER THE DAYTIME
HEAT WOULD HAVE DISSIPATED. THE BEST CHANCE OF CONVECTION WILL
LIKELY HOLD OFF FOR ALL OF EAST KENTUCKY UNTIL LATER IN THE WEEK AS
THE UPPER LOW AND ITS SFC REFLECTION MOVE DEEPER INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY LATER THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY. UNTIL THEN...HAVE DRAWN A
MINIMUM IN POPS AND SKY FOR THE FAR SOUTHEAST...BUT WITH THE
BOUNDARY CLOSER TO THE NORTHWEST...POPS IN THOSE AREAS WILL PEAK
NEAR 50 PERCENT EACH AFTERNOON. FOR THE WEEKEND...FOLLOWING THE 00Z
ECMWF SOLUTION... HAVE PAINTED A DAMPER AND COOLER FORECAST THAN
IMPLIED BY THE SUPER PROGRESSIVE GFS. WHILE THE WEATHER WILL BE
RATHER UNSETTLE UP TO AND THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...EXPECT THE
TIMES OF STORMS TO BE INFREQUENT ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE ANY HYDRO ISSUES
OUTSIDE OF FLASH FLOODING SHOULD EXCESSIVE TRAINING OCCUR.

FOLLOWED A BLEND OF THE INHERITED GRIDS AND HPC GUIDANCE FOR
FORECAST HIGHS AND LOWS THROUGH THE LONG TERM ALONG WITH MINOR
TERRAIN DRIVEN ADJUSTMENTS MADE FOR MINIMUMS. AS FOR POPS...ENDED UP
ON THE DRY SIDE OF MEX THROUGH FRIDAY...BUT MAINTAINED HIGHER VALUES
OVER THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

&&

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

A BROKEN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING IN FROM CENTRAL TENNESSEE AND
WESTERN KENTUCKY WILL REACH SME BETWEEN 20 AND 21Z AND LOZ BETWEEN 21
AND 22Z. AM COUNTING ON THESE HOLDING TOGETHER ENOUGH FOR TEMPORARY
MVFR IMPACT AT BOTH TERMINALS AT THESE TIMES. AT JKL...THERE IS MORE
UNCERTAINTY...AND WILL ONLY CARRY A VCTS. DEPENDING UPON CLEARING AND
THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL RECEIVED...IFR FOG AT BOTH SME AND LOZ IS
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE. FOR NOW...HAVE CONTINUED TO MENTION A DROP DOWN
TO MVFR. OVERNIGHT...A LOW LEVEL JET WILL RAMP UP ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY...BRINGING A RENEWED THREAT OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA. THE
CONVECTION WILL LIKELY EASE UP BY THE MID-MORNING HOURS ON
MONDAY...WITH ONLY WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS POSSIBLE LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 5 TO 10 KTS WILL LIGHTEN UP TOWARDS
DUSK THIS EVENING...AND THEN RAMP UP TO AROUND 10 KTS AFTER 15Z ON
MONDAY.
