DUSTYWhat 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 9, 12:50 PM EDT, 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 12:50 PM EDT, 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 1250 PM EDT SAT APR 9 2011 .SHORT TERM...UPDATED MESOSCALE UPDATE... SOUNDINGS INDICATING AIRMASS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERAL SVR WARNINGS ALREADY FOR THE MOST NRN COUNTIES WITH HAIL REPORTS BETWEEN PENNY AND NICKEL SIZE. SVR TSTM WATCH 112 ISSUED UNTIL 7 PM. WILL UPDATE THE ZONES TO INCLUDE WATCH. REST OF THE FCST ON TRACK. THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... /THIS AFTERNOON/ MCS IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING. THE SYSTEM IS EVOLVING NOW WITH AN ELEVATED SECTION ALONG AND NORTH OF A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM NEAR LOUISVILLE EASTWARD INTO THE BLUEGRASS REGION. TO THE SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY...SURFACE BASED CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP WEST OF BOWLING GREEN AND WOULD EXPECT THIS PART OF THE SYSTEM TO CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY WITH SBCAPE VALUES EXCEEDING 1000 J/KG ROUGHLY SOUTH OF A OWENSBORO TO HAZARD LINE. DESPITE AMPLE CLOUD COVER...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE OVER EAST KENTUCKY INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS WITH DEWPOINTS SURGING INTO THE 60S AND SURFACE TEMPS WELL INTO THE 70S. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN IMPACTING OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES BY OR SHORTLY AFTER 12:30 PM EDT PROGRESSING QUICKLY EASTWARD. THE TAIL OF THE SYSTEM WILL THEN BEGIN IMPACTING THE I-75 CORRIDOR AROUND 1 OR 2 PM. WIND DAMAGE AND HAIL ARE PRIMARY CONCERNS...ALTHOUGH HOPEFULLY LARGE HAIL WILL NOT BE AS PROLIFIC AS IT WAS YESTERDAY WITH FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING LESS MID LEVEL DRY AIR AVAILABLE TODAY. ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL ALSO A CONCERN WITH MODEST SHEAR AND A FRONT IN THE AREA. A SECONDARY CONCERN FOR LATER TODAY IS FLOODING AS THE MCS PASSES...EFFECTIVELY SHOVING THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD SETTING UP AN AREA OF CONVERGENCE AND REPEATING SHOWER/TSTORM MOVEMENT. 09/12Z HRRR HINTS AT THIS SETTING UP OVER THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA SO WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THAT POSSIBILITY CLOSELY WITH PWATS APPROACHING 1.5 INCHES (99TH PERCENTILE) TODAY. THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSIONS FOLLOW... /THE REST OF TODAY/...1005 AM EDT SAT APR 9 2011 LINE OF STRONG STORMS PROGRESSING THRU WRK KY THIS MORNING. TRACKING TO THE EAST AND EXPECTED TO IMPACT ERN KY LATER THIS MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. NEARLY CONTINUOUS LINE SHOULD HOLD TOGETHER AND MOST ALL OF ERN KY SHOULD SEE SOME ACTIVITY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREATS. TIMING WILL PUT THE LINE MOVING EAST OF THE STATE THIS EVENING WITH GENERALLY CLEARING WX TONIGHT. WILL LOOK INTO THE PROBABILITY FOR FOG IN THE MORNING BUT HAVE NOT INCLUDED IT AT THIS TIME. TEMPS WILL BE MODIFIED AS THE CLOUD COVER WILL PRECLUDE OUR WRN COUNTIES FROM WARMING AS MUCH AS THE ERN COUNTIES SO HIGHS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS DIFFERENCE. /TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...426 AM EDT SAT APR 9 2011 SURFACE ANALYSIS AS 0F 0730Z SHOWS THE BOUNDARY RESPONSIBLE FOR YESTERDAYS ACTIVITY NOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL CWA AS IT HAS SAGGED SOUTH IN THE PAST 24 HOURS. LOCATIONS IN THE NORTHERN CWA ARE WELL SATURATED FROM YESTERDAYS RAINS AND AS A RESULT WILL EXPERIENCE SOME VALLEY FOG...WHEREAS THE SOUTHERN CWA WILL ESCAPE VALLEY FOG THIS MORNING. WILL ADDRESS THE FOG WITH AN SPS. THE SOUTHERN CWA WAS WAS SPARED FROM LOSING ANY INSTABILITY TO FUEL YESTERDAYS STORMS. AN MCS CURRENTLY OUT OF MO AND INTO KY WHICH MAY IGNITE SOME EARLY CONVECTION IN SOUTHWESTERN KY BEFORE 15Z. ALONG WITH THE MCS IS A HINT OF A STRONG UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVING INTO THE AREA ROUGHLY 17Z TO 19Z JUST IN TIME FOR AMPLE HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION. THERE IS ALSO A SUBTLE DISTURBANCE IN THE UPPER LEVELS THAT MAY KICK OFF A FEW SHOWERS IN THE SW CWA THIS MORNING BUT THE PROSPECT ONLY WARRANTS A SLIGHT CHANCE. CONCERNING THIS AFTERNOON...SHORT TERM MODELS DO BRING A WAVE UP OVER THE RIDGE INTO THE AREA BY 18Z. IT IS POSSIBLE OF SOME CONTAMINATION FROM THE MCS BUT ALL MODELS DO SHOW A SIGNIFICANT WAVE. A BIT MORE SHEAR IS AVAILABLE FOR TODAY AND GIVEN THE IMPROVEMENT OF MOISTURE INTO THE AREA...THE POTENTIAL FOR A MORE ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS PRESENT. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW A GOOD 2000 J/KG AVAILABLE THIS AFTERNOON AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF SHEAR AVAILABLE...THE THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL...AND TO A LESSER EXTENT DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE. WITH THE DEVELOPING LOW IN THE PLAINS AND THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IN SHIFT...THE SURFACE BOUNDARY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR WEATHER WILL FINALLY MOVE OFF TO THE EAST. AS A RESULT...AN EVENT THAT BEGINS TODAY IS EXPECTED TO END SHORTLY AFTER SUNDOWN OR 02Z. THIS IS WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE MCS LOSES ITS SELF SUSTAINING CHARACTERISTICS. BY SUNDAY THE DEVELOPED WARM FRONT PUSHES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST LEAVING EASTERN KENTUCKY IN THE WAR SECTOR. THE WARM TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AND WITH SW FLOW ON SUNDAY...TEMPS WILL SKY ROCKET TO NEAR 90 IN SOME PLACES. GRADIENT OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL CREATE A DRY 25 MPH SW WIND. DEPENDING ON HOW THE AREA RESPONDS TO YESTERDAYS AND TODAYS RAINS...FIRE WEATHER WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. .LONG TERM.../SUNDAY NIGHT 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.../12Z TO 12Z/ SURFACE ANALYSIS AS OF 11Z SHOWS SOME IFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA WITH VALLEY FOG BEING SUPPORTED WITH AMPLE MOISTURE PROVIDED FROM RAINS YESTERDAY AS WELL AS A CLEARING OF CLOUD COVER OVERNIGHT. UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS MOVING IN FROM THE WEST IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER WAVE AND MCS WILL HELP DISSIPATE VALLEY FOG ACROSS THE AREA BY 14Z. EXPECT AN 4 KFT LAYER TO PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA. WHILE SOME LIFT AND INSTABILITY WILL PROVIDE THE CHANCE FROM SOME SMALL SHOWERS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...THE CHANCE IS SLIGHT. BY 18Z...THE WAVE PUSHES INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON. ANY LOCATIONS NEAR OR UNDER A STORM WILL EXPERIENCE IFR CONDITIONS. THE EVENT WILL LIKELY BE OVER BY 03Z WITH LEFT OVER MOISTURE SETTING THE STAGE FROM IFR FOG IN THE VALLEYS AGAIN TONIGHT. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
