AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
400 PM EDT TUE JUL 19 2011

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...UPDATED

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN FROM THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS
WITH A STUBBORN RIDGE OVER THE HEART OF THE CONUS LEAVING ERN KY
SUSCEPTIBLE TO NUMEROUS SHORT WAVES SEEN IN WV IMAGERY ROUNDING THE
RIDGE AND POISED TO DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. SFC HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE DEEP SOUTH CONTINUES TO DRIVE A MOIST...WARM AIR
MASS INTO THE AREA WITH DEW POINTS THIS AFTERNOON NOW REACHING INTO
THE MID 70S. LEFTOVER CLOUDS FROM THIS MORNING/S DECAYING MCS HAVE
KEPT TEMPS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON IN CHECK...THOUGH
ENOUGH CLEARING AROUND THE CUMBERLAND HAS ALLOWED THE MERCURY ALONG
THE TN BORDER TO CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 90S.

FOR TONIGHT...MODELS ARE IN SOME AGREEMENT WITH BRINGING ANOTHER
IMPULSE THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE LATE EVENING/EARLY OVERNIGHT
PERIOD. LAPS ANALYSIS IS STILL SHOWING PLENTY OF SB CAPE TO WORK WITH
WHILE SOUNDINGS INDICATE A WEAK...BREAKABLE CAP IF WE CAN JUST CLEAR
OUT A LITTLE MORE. INDEED...RADAR HAS STARTED LIGHTING UP WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ACTIVITY AND WILL PUT IN A PRE FIRST PERIOD TO
KEEP THE SCATTERED WORDING FOCUSED ON THIS EVENING...BUT AM EXPECTING
ANY SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY TO BEGIN DROPPING OFF ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN
WITH FOG BECOMING THE MAIN ISSUE ONCE AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT.

FOR WEDNESDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE MAIN STORY...THOUGH WE WILL
STILL BE ON THE ERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AND THUS
STILL IN THE CROSS HAIRS OF ANY SHORT WAVE ENERGY ROUNDING THE RIDGE.
HAVE FOLLOWED MORE ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT WE SAW ON MONDAY...BUT
WITH LESS SHOWER ACTIVITY AND ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER EXPECTED...AND
ANOTHER DAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE WAA PATTERN...WE SHOULD HAVE
AN EASIER TIME REACHING INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S ACROSS THE
BOARD.

WITH DEW POINTS STEADILY RISING INTO THE MID 70S AGAIN TOMORROW
AFTERNOON...THIS WOULD RESULT IN HEAT INDICES IN THE UPPER 90S WITH A
HANDFUL OF LOCATIONS REACHING TRIPLE DIGITS FOR A FEW HOURS. AFTER
SOME COORDINATION WITH THE NEIGHBORS...AND SOME CRITERIA DIFFERENCES
ALONG THE BORDERS...HAVE OPTED TO HOLD OFF ON AN ADVISORY FOR THE
MOMENT...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE STRONGLY WORDED HWO AND SPS...AND LET
THE NEXT SHIFT TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AS ANYTHING MORE THAN ISOLATED TO
WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION DURING THE PEAK HEATING HOURS WOULD
LIKELY KEEP INDICES RELEGATED TO THE MID AND UPPER 90S.

FOLLOWING THE DIURNAL PATTERN...SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH
QUICKLY WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH FOG LIKELY DEVELOPING AGAIN AS THE
RIDGE BEGINS TO EXPAND EASTWARD INTO THE AREA. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
THE BROAD RIDGE ALOFT AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS
WE SHOULD FINALLY BEGIN TO SEE SOME DRIER...QUIETER WEATHER...ALBEIT A
LITTLE HOTTER FOR THURSDAY. MODELS HOWEVER CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE
SCATTERED CONVECTION DURING THE DAY SO WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP ISOLATED
POPS DURING THE DAY...THOUGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 90S ARE
LOOKING LIKE A MORE SOLID BET WITH HEAT INDICES AGAIN APPROACHING AND
PROBABLY EXCEEDING 100 DEGREES DURING THE AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM.../THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...UPDATED

THERE REMAINS GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT IN THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE PERIOD SHOULD BEGIN WITH A WEST TO EAST
ORIENTED UPPER RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS STRENGTHEN THE RIDGE
SLIGHTLY ON FRI NIGHT AND SAT AND BRIEFLY BUILD IT TOWARD THE GREAT
LAKES. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW/TROUGHING IS PROGGED TO MOVE NEAR THE
US/CANADIAN BORDER IN THE WESTERLIES AND LEAD TO A FLATTENING OUT OF
THE RIDGE TO END THE WEEKEND. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF FORECAST THE
RIDGE TO AT LEAST BRIEFLY RETROGRADE TO THE WEST EARLY NEXT WEEK
WITH TROUGHING GRADUALLY SHIFTING ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN US AND THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE MAY BEGIN TO BUILD BACK
TOWARD THE AREA AT THE END OF THE PERIOD.

AT THE SFC...THE REGION WILL REMAIN IN THE WARM SECTOR EARLY IN THE
PERIOD WITH A BOUNDARY POSSIBLY BRIEFLY GETTING TO OR JUST SOUTH OF
THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES RETREATING NORTH AS A WARM FRONT AS LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND INTO THE NORTHERN
GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS LOW SHOULD TRACK THROUGH THE NORTHERN GREAT
LAKES AND INTO THE ST LAWRENCE VALLEY AND ON INTO THE ATLANTIC FROM
SUN THROUGH TUE IN RESPONSE TO THE UPPER TROUGH MOVING FROM THE
GREAT LAKES AND INTO THE NORTHEASTERN STATES. A SFC COLD FRONT
SHOULD BEGIN TO APPROACH THE REGION BY SUN NIGHT AND THEN CROSS THE
AREA ON MONDAY PER MODEL AND HPC GUIDANCE. SFC HIGH PRESSURE IS
PROGGED TO BUILD INTO THE REGION AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. THIS
SHOULD LEAD TO SOME RELIEF FROM THE 70 PLUS DEWPOINTS AND MINIMAL
PRECIP CHANCES BY TUE.

PRIOR TO THE FROPA EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS
NEAR OR OVERHEAD...TRIGGERS FOR CONVECTION APPEAR RATHER
UNCERTAIN...WITH NOT MUCH MORE THAN DAYTIME HEATING. OVERALL...THE
DIURNAL FLAVOR TO THE POPS THROUGH SUN APPEARS REASONABLE. THE RIDGE
STRENGTH AND ASSOCIATED SUBSIDENCE MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO PRECLUDE
MUCH IN THE WAY OF CONVECTION ON FRI AND SAT. IF THAT WERE TO
OCCUR...TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDICES WOULD END UP WARMER. FRI AND
POSSIBLY SAT WE COULD APPROACH HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA IN SOME OR ALL
AREAS. AS FOR POPS WENT WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POPS...HIGHEST
GENERALLY IN THE PM THROUGH SUN AND THEN FURTHER IN THE SCATTERED
RANGE ON SUN NIGHT AND MON ALONG AND IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT.
HELD ONTO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POPS INTO MON NIGHT AND TUE DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING OF THE FROPA AND HOW QUICKLY THE AIRMASS WOULD
DRY OUT.

&&

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

SHRA/TSTMS ACTIVITY FADING QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON AND VFR SHOULD
PREVAIL WITH BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR STILL POSSIBLE AT TERMINALS EAST OF
A LINE FROM AROUND LOZ THRU JKL FOR THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE
PERIOD. THEREAFTER...UNCERTAINTY INCREASES WITH TIME BUT AT THE
MOMENT AM EXPECTING SOME ISOLATED SHRA/TSTM REDEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE
AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING
BEFORE DIMINISHING. GUIDANCE IS HINTING AT SOME NOCTURNAL CONVECTION
BUT WILL FOLLOW PERSISTENCE AND GO WITH PARTIALLY CLEARING SKIES
EARLY FOLLOWED BY FOG AFTER 04Z. CONDITIONS COULD DROP AGAIN TO IFR
OR WORSE LOCALLY BEFORE FOG BEGINS TO MIX OUT AFTER SUNRISE AGAIN.
VFR SHOULD PREVAIL DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD BUT SHRA/TSTMS
WILL BE IN THE OFFING ONCE AGAIN TOWARDS THE END OF THE FCST WINDOW.

.JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
