AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
201 PM EDT SAT APR 9 2011

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

MESO CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER SRN OHIO HAS MADE THE TURN TO THE SE AS
IT RIDES OVER THE MID LVL RIDGE. EXPECTING TSTMS TO EXPLODE ACROSS
ERN KY THIS AFTERNOON. THEIS COMPLEX WILL CROSS THE AREA AND SHOULD
DRAG ANY REMAINING STORMS TO OUR EAST BY LATE THIS EVENING WITH
CLOUDS BEGINNING TO DISSIPATE AROUND MIDNIGHT. COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF
MOISTURE AVAILABLE AT THE SFC FROM SEVERAL DAYS OF RAIN SO ANOTHER
ROUND OF FOG... DENSE ESPECIALLY IN THE VALLEYS IS LIKELY SUNDAY
MORNING. HIGH TEMPS ON SUNDAY WILL CLIMB QUICKLY INTO THE 80S WITH
HIGHS EXPECTED TO TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 80S. NEXT WEATHER DISTURBANCE
WILL APPROACH THE AREA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND CROSS ERN KY MONDAY
AFTERNOON WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY. THIS
DISTURBANCE WILL EXIT TO THE EAST MONDAY NIGHT WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF
FOG EXPECTED LATE MON NIGHT. THE RAIN COUPLED WITH EXTENSIVE CLOUD
COVER ON MONDAY SHOULD MODERATE HIGH TEMPS TO THE UPPER 70S.

.LONG TERM.../TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...UPDATED

MORE DIFFERENCES THAN SIMILARITIES WITH THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IN
THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST...BUT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS
SUGGESTS A LULL IN THE ACTIVE PATTERN TO START THE PERIOD...FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER LONG WAVE TROF/LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM POTENTIALLY IMPACTING
THE AREA TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK.

WILL BEGIN THE PERIOD TUESDAY WITH THE DEPARTING COLD FRONT AND
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. MODELS
DIVERGE QUICKLY BY TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE GFS ALONG WITH THE CANADIAN
CARRY THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL WAVE OUT OVER THE ATLANTIC...WHILE THE
EURO DEVELOPS ANOTHER CLOSED LOW OVER THE CAROLINAS. EITHER SOLUTION
TENDS TOWARDS THE SAME END RESULT...WITH DRIER AIR INVADING THE
LOWER LEVELS OVER OUR AREA ENSURING QUIETER WEATHER THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY AS ANOTHER MID/UPPER LEVEL TROF
BEGINS DIGGING ITS WAY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS.

BY THURSDAY...DIFFERENCES IN THE STRENGTH AND TIMING WITH THIS
FEATURE BECOME SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH THAT CONFIDENCE IN ANY ONE
SOLUTION OVER THE OTHERS IS HARD TO COME BY. GIVEN THE NATURE OF
THEIR DIFFERENCES...HAVE OPTED TO KEEP SLIGHT...TO LOW END CHANCE
POPS GOING FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...AND EXPECT
THAT THIS WINDOW WILL NARROW SOME OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY FOLLOWED A BLEND OF THE CURRENT
FORECAST WITH LATEST BIAS CORRECTED MOS. IN GENERAL...TEMPS LOOK TO
REMAIN NEAR NORMAL EARLY WITH A SLIGHT WARMING TREND THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

&&

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

EXPECT AN 4000 FT LAYER TO PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA... WHILE LIFT AND
INSTABILITY WILL PROVIDE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EXTENDING INTO THIS EVENING. ANY LOCATIONS NEAR OR UNDER A
STORM WILL EXPERIENCE IFR CONDITIONS BUT SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED. THE EVENT
WILL LIKELY BE OVER BY 03Z WITH LEFT OVER MOISTURE SETTING THE STAGE
FROM IFR FOG IN THE VALLEYS AGAIN TONIGHT. DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN
ON SUNDAY AND WITH A LACK OF CLOUD COVER EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL.
