What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 8, 9:26 PM EDT, 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 9:26 PM EDT, 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 926 PM EDT FRI APR 8 2011 .SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT/...UPDATED HAVE EXTENDED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 11 PM IN OUR NE COUNTIES. STORMS CONTINUE TO FIRE IN THE CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THERE AS WARM AND MOIST AIR FEEDS NE INTO THE REGION. AS THE STORMS DEVELOP THEY HEAD EAST AND SOUTHEAST. SHEAR PROFILES ARE ALLOWING SUPERCELLULAR STRUCTURES TO DEVELOP...WITH HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT. ALLOWED THE WATCH TO EXPIRE IN OUR SW COUNTIES WHERE STORMS HAD A TOUGH TIME TAKING OFF DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AND DIED OUT COMPLETED TONIGHT. THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/ A NEARLY STATIONARY WARM FRONT IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. GOOD WIND CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT COUPLED WITH A SERIES OF WEAK WAVES MOVING ALONG THE FRONT WILL TRIGGER SOME SHRA AND TSRA THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECTING MORE ACTIVITY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONTAL BNDRY BUT ACTIVITY COULD EXTEND INTO THE MID KY REGION. A SERIES OF WEAK SHORT WAVES TONIGHT WILL TRACK ALONG THE FRONTAL BNDRY THIS EVENING WILL PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR WAVES OF PCPN. SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND HEATING COUPLED WITH THE LIFTING ACTION OF A SHORT WAVE COULD CREATE MARGINALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. AFTER SUNSET... COOLING EFFECTS FROM LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING WILL SUPRESS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AND THE LAST OF THE SHORT WAVES WILL TAKE THE PCPN OUT OF THE STATE. NEXT SHORT WAVE WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION SAT AFTN AND THEN EXIT AGAIN SAT NITE WITH THE FRONTAL BNDRY FINALLY LIFTING FAR ENUF NORTH FOR A TEMPORARY END TO THE THREAT OF PCPN. KY WILL REMAIN IN THE WARM SECTOR SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT THRU OUT THIS EVENT AND SW WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TEMPS TO EVER HIGHER VALUES. EXPECTING LOWER 80S FOR SAT WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS AROUND 60 TONIGHT AND IN THE LOWER 60S SAT NIGHT. QUICK UPDATE TO THIS FCST TO INCLUDE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR ALL OF EASTERN KENTUCKY UNTIL 9 PM. AIRMASS HAS BECOME VERY UNSTABLE AND EXPECTING A SHORT WAVE ALONG THE FRONTAL BNDRY TO WAVE THAT BNDRY INTO OUR AREA AND ADD THE ADDITIONAL LIFT TO INITIATE STORMS. .LONG TERM.../SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/ FOCUS FOR THE EARLY PORTION OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD CENTERS AROUND THE DEEP TROF CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE WEST COAST. LATEST MODEL SUITE REMAINS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE LONG WAVE PATTERN THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK WITH A SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE ASSOCIATED SFC LOW AND ATTENDANT COLD FRONT. WILL BEGIN THE PERIOD ON SUNDAY WITH POTENTIALLY RECORD BREAKING WARMTH AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. SHARPENS IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING TROF. LATEST ROUND OF MOS IS STILL SELLING HIGHS IN THE LOWER 90S ACROSS THE COAL FIELDS. NOT QUITE READY TO BITE DOWN ON THAT JUST YET AND WILL WAIT TO SEE ONE MORE ROUND OF DRAMATIC HIGHS COME IN...BUT FOR NOW HAVE BUMPED TEMPS UP INTO THE MID AND UPPER 80S. SUNDAY NIGHT WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AS A 50KT LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS RAMPING UP AHEAD OF THE TROF. CURRENT CONSENSUS THEN HAS THE SFC LOW AROUND THE GREAT LAKES AREA WITH THE COLD FRONT SWINGING THRU EASTERN KENTUCKY FROM LATE MORNING THRU EARLY EVENING...AND HAVE CENTERED HIGHEST POPS AROUND 18Z FOR THE AREA. CONCERNING THE SEVERE THREAT...SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A FAIR AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FROPA WITH AROUND 1000J/KG AND LI/S IN THE -4 TO -6 C RANGE. WITH THE POTENTIALLY QLCS NATURE OF THE FRONT AND NEARLY VERTICAL ISENTROPIC SURFACES...WOULD EXPECT THE BIGGEST THREAT TO BE DAMAGING WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LINE AS IT MOVES THRU OUR AREA. WITH THE 700MB TROF LAGGING BEHIND THE FRONT...HAVE KEPT LOW END CHANCE POPS THRU THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS ON MONDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY POST FRONTAL SHOWERS INTO THE DAY ON TUESDAY. REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD LOOKS RELATIVELY BENIGN AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY BENEATH A TRANSIENT FLAT RIDGE THRU WEDNESDAY...BY WHICH TIME THE EURO...GFS...AND GEM ALL START TAKING THEIR OWN APPROACH WITH THE NEXT WAVE CROSSING THE PLAINS. THIS FAR OUT...OPTED TO MAINTAIN CONTINUITY WITH THE INHERITED GRIDS AND THE NEIGHBORS AND WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TO ROUND OUT THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION.../00Z TO 24Z/...UPDATED ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS PERSISTED AT THE START OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH IFR OR WORSE CONDITIONS. OUTSIDE OF STORMS...CONDITIONS WERE LARGELY VFR. HOWEVER...WHERE STORMS HAVE DROPPED SIGNIFICANT PRECIP...THERE IS WAS VALLEY FOG DEVELOPING BY 00Z. THE STORMS WERE FIRING ALONG A COLD FRONT LAID OUT EAST/WEST NEAR INTERSTATE 64. THE STORMS SHOULD BECOME MORE SPARSE WITH TIME TONIGHT. HOWEVER...MVFR CEILINGS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...AFTER ABOUT 04Z. VALLEY FOG WILL ALSO BECOME MORE PREVALENT...BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A PROBLEM AT TAF SITES. MVFR CEILINGS AND VALLEY FOG SHOULD GIVE WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS LATE SATURDAY MORNING. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM MAY DEVELOP SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AND HAVE INCLUDED A PROB30 GROUP IN TAFS. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
