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 Feb 28, 7:04 AM EST, 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 28, 7:04 AM EST, 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
704 AM EST MON FEB 28 2011

.SHORT TERM.../THE REST OF TODAY/

JUST SENT OUT A QUICK UPDATE OF THE ZONE FORECAST TEXT PRODUCT TO ADD
TORNADO WATCH 30.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

GOOD AGREEMENT AMONGST THE MODELS REGARDING THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN FOR
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE MAJOR CONCERNS FOR THIS MORNINGS FORECAST
WILL BE TWO FOLD. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH
DAMAGING WINDS...AND PERHAPS AN ISOLATED TORNADO...WILL THE PRIMARY
CONCERNS...ESPECIALLY FROM MID MORNING THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
THE SECOND CONCERN WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING. WITH THE
GROUND AROUND EASTERN KENTUCKY ALREADY SATURATED FROM A RAINFALL
LATE LAST WEEK...MOST IF NOT ALL THE RAIN THAT FALLS TODAY WILL
TRANSITION QUICKLY TO RUN OFF. THE PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE LOCALIZED
FLASH FLOODING ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THAT ARE EXPECTED LATER TODAY. WIDESPREAD RIVER FLOODING IS NOT A
MAJOR CONCERN AT THIS TIME. A BLEND OF THE GFS AND SREF MODELS WERE
USED TO CONSTRUCT THE FORECAST FROM EARLY THIS MORNING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY EVENING.

A STRONG COLD FRONT...A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...AND A STEADY FEED OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO...WILL BE THE TRIGGERS FOR
WIDESPREAD STRONG...AND AT TIMES SEVERE...THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. IT
LOOKS AT THIS TIME THAT THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL
BE THE PERIOD FROM 16-21Z TODAY...WHICH COINCIDES WITH WHEN THE COLD
FRONT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. A 50-70KT LOW LEVEL JET IS
STILL FORECAST TO MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. THIS FEATURE
WILL LIKELY BE THE STRONGEST TRIGGER FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
TODAY...AS STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS PUMP LARGE AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE INTO
THE AREA. THE LATEST MODEL DATA WAS IN SYNC WITH THE INHERITED
FORECAST...SO NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE REQUIRED. BASED ON THE LATEST
MODEL DATA AND REAL TIME SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AROUND THE OHIO AND
TENNESSEE VALLEY REGIONS...DECIDED TO BEEF UP WINDS FOR TODAY TO
ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT TRENDS. WINDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN GUSTING TO AS
HIGH AS 50MPH ON A COUPLE OF RIDGE TOP LOCATIONS IN THE FORECAST
AREA...SO THE UPDATED WIND FORECAST SEEMED JUSTIFIED.

ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WERE NEEDED WITH THE TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT
FORECASTS AS WELL. SOME TWEAKS WERE NEEDED TO COME INTO BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES...BUT OVERALL THE HOURLY TEMPERATURES
AND DEW POINTS SINCE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT HAVE BEEN IN LINE WITH THE
LATEST MODEL DATA...SO THE PREEXISTING FORECASTS FOR THOSE TWO
ELEMENTS WERE KEPT PRETTY MUCH AS IS.

.LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/

UNDER BENIGN RELATIVELY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT...LARGE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM THE GREAT LAKES ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO NEW
ENGLAND THURSDAY NIGHT...BRINGING DRY WEATHER LOCALLY. A MID/UPPER LEVEL
IMPULSE CROSSING THE ROCKIES ON FRIDAY WILL LEAD TO SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPMENT OVER TX AND MOVE NE TO OH BY LATE SATURDAY...WITH A COLD
FRONT TRAILING SW FROM THE LOW. OUR PROBABILITY OF PRECIP WILL
INCREASE FROM FRIDAY TO SATURDAY EVENING IN THE WARM AIR ADVECTION
ZONE WITH THE COLD FRONT APPROACHING.

SIGNIFICANT MODEL DISCREPANCIES STILL EXIST...ESPECIALLY FROM
SATURDAY NIGHT ONWARD. THE ECMWF IS WANTING TO DEVELOP A CLOSED UPPER
LOW FROM THE WAVE AS IT MOVES OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TO THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY. HOWEVER...THIS IS NOT AS EXTREME AS THE SOLUTION
FROM 24 HOURS AGO...WHEN THE LOW CLOSED OFF FURTHER SW...AND IT IS
CLOSER TO THE GFS SOLUTION. NEVER-THE-LESS...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
LOW FOR THE WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY SUNDAY...AND HAVE STILL USED A
COMPROMISE.

&&

.AVIATION.../12Z TO 12Z/...UPDATED

A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN
FOR THE TAF SITES THIS MORNING. SOME OF THE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL. WINDS AHEAD OF THE
STORMS WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH AT 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 30 TO
40 MPH POSSIBLE. MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AFTER 13 OR 14Z
TODAY...WITH LOCALIZED IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WHERE THE STRONGEST
THUNDERSTORMS OCCUR. THE STORMS WILL BE MOVING ACROSS EASTERN
KENTUCKY THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AS A COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS
THE AREA. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND GRADUALLY SUBSIDE AFTER
THE FRONT EXITS THE AREA AROUND 22Z TODAY. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 10 TO
15 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE BEHIND THE FRONT THROUGH ABOUT 4Z TONIGHT.
