Flash Flood Warning 30, NWS Louisville, KY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
727 PM EDT SUN APR 24 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

...FORECAST UPDATE...

DOING AN UPDATE TO EXPAND THE FLOOD WATCH FURTHER SOUTH/SOUTHEAST
FOR ONGOING FLOODING/POTENTIAL FLOODING. ALSO INCREASED POPS TO
CATEGORICAL FURTHER SOUTH...AND LIKELY OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST.

MESOANALYSIS...MAIN WEST-TO-EAST BOUNDARY APPEARS TO BE SAGGING INTO
TN BASED ON RADAR OUT OF OHX. STORMS RIDING UP OVER THE BOUNDARY
NEAR THE TN BORDER WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE A HAIL THREAT OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING WILL BE AN ISSUE AS WELL.
OVERALL THOUGH...AND STILL...FLOODING ISSUES WILL BE OUR MAIN
CONCERN THROUGH THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

FORECAST UPDATE AND FLASH FLOOD WATCH UPDATE OUT SOON.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...

...HEAVY RAIN AND TRAINING OF STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO EXACERBATE
FLOODING ISSUES ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY...

THIS EVENING - MONDAY...

NEXT WAVE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS FIRED TO OUR WEST AND
WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE FOR ALL OF NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND
SOUTHERN INDIANA UNTIL 2 AM EDT. HAVE THEN EXTENDED THE PORTION OF
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH ALONG THE OHIO RIVER AND NORTH UNTIL 8 PM EDT
TUESDAY.

12Z GFS HAS HAD THE BEST HANDLE ON WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED SO FAR TODAY
AND HAVE RELIED MOSTLY ON THIS SOLUTION FOR THE OVERNIGHT. THIS
WOULD BRING AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL ALONG AND NORTH
OF THE OHIO RIVER THROUGH DAWN TOMORROW. LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS
WILL BE POSSIBLE SINCE IT DOES APPEAR SOME TRAINING WILL OCCUR FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST TONIGHT. THE PLAN FOR THE ONGOING AREAL FLOOD
WARNING IS TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WARNING WHEN RAIN BEGINS AS IT
WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO BEGIN CAUSING PROBLEMS. AS FAR AS THE SEVERE
THREAT GOES...FEEL THE BEST THREAT IS ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN CWA WHERE
MOST INSTABILITY IS PRESENT...HOWEVER SPC DOES HAVE A SLIGHT RISK
ACROSS OUR ENTIRE CWA. FEEL THE MAIN THREAT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA WILL BE HEAVY RAIN AND EXCESSIVE
LIGHTNING.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...EXPECT THE STALLED FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTHERN IL/IN TO BEGIN TO LIFT NORTH AS A WARM
FRONT. THIS WILL BEGIN TO SWING THE HEAVIEST RAIN POTENTIAL MORE TO
SOUTHERN INDIANA. AS A RESULT...PLAN TO LET THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE FFA TO EXPIRE AT 2 AM EDT...HOWEVER WILL GIVE EVENING AND MID
SHIFT TIME TO EVALUATE. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...NORTHERN PORTION OF THE
FFA HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 8 PM EDT TUESDAY.

ON MONDAY...STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS TO JUST WEST OF ST. LOUIS. GREATEST SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
THREAT WILL BE NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER...WITH MOST OF CENTRAL
KENTUCKY WITH SMALL CHANCES FOR A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM. HAVE
DECREASED HIGHS ON MONDAY AFTERNOON TO THE MID 70S IN SOUTHERN
INDIANA TO THE MID 80S IN SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY. AN ADDITIONAL
QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH OF RAIN IS EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHERN INDIANA
COUNTIES WEST OF I 65 ON MONDAY. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS.

.LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT - SUNDAY)...

...TWO OPPORTUNITIES FOR SIGNIFICANT RAINS LATE TUESDAY THROUGH
EARLY THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...

THE UPPER AIR PATTERN RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR WET PATTERN WILL BASICALLY
CONTINUE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS LONGWAVE PATTERN OF
FLAT RIDGING OVER FLORIDA AND THE OUR SOUTHERN PACIFIC
COAST...COUPLED WITH TROUGHING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS IS ONE
THAT WILL ALLOW A CONTINUOUS FETCH OF LOW LEVEL MOIST AIR FROM THE
GULF OF MEXICO.

TWO SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEMS WILL AFFECT THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY THIS
WORK WEEK. BOTH THE LATEST OPERATIONAL NAM AND THE GFS BRING THE
NOSE OF A POWERFUL JET INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. LOW PRESSURE IS
THEN FORECAST TO DEEPEN RAPIDLY AND NORTHEAST ACROSS ILLINOIS DURING
THE MORNING HOURS TUESDAY.

DESPITE ALL THE RECENT RAIN AND THE INFLUENCE OF RESIDUAL CONVECTIVE
BOUNDARIES ON CLOUDS AND TEMPERATURES...FEEL THAT A
WARM FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE NORTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA MONDAY
NIGHT. A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WILL DEVELOP MONDAY NIGHT AND WILL
BRING A THREAT OF CONVECTION MOSTLY ACROSS WESTERN
KENTUCKY...SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...AND SOUTHERN INDIANA. THESE AREAS
WILL LIE CLOSER TO THIS WARM FRONT WHICH IS EXPECTED TO STRETCH FROM
SOUTHEASTERN MISSOURI TOWARDS CENTRAL INDIANA.

WIDESPREAD CONVECTION...SOME OF IT POSSIBLY HEAVY WILL DEVELOP
TUESDAY AS A FRONT APPROACHES. THIS FRONT WILL THEN POTENTIALLY
STALL ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES. A SECOND JET STREAK WILL STREAM INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS EARLY WEDNESDAY. THIS LAST STORM SYSTEM WILL THEN
SPAWN LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS
SYSTEM IS THEN FORECAST TO TRACK MUCH CLOSER TO...AND POSSIBLY RIGHT
OVER THE COMMONWEALTH LATER WEDNESDAY.

THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF RAIN
AVERAGING ONE TO TWO INCHES FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY.
FLOODING WILL REMAIN A CONSIDERABLE THREAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH EARLY
THURSDAY...WITH MAIN STEM RIVERS REMAINING HIGH AFTER THAT.

EXPECT A VERY MILD NIGHT EARLY TUESDAY WITH GOOD MIXING WITHIN THE
BOUNDARY LAYER AND LOWS REMAINING IN THE MID 60S. HIGHS TUESDAY WILL
RISE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S...WITH HIGHER TEMPERATURES TO THE
EAST.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY...

A SIGNIFICANT BREAK FROM ALL THIS RAIN WILL FINALLY ARRIVE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO MOVE SOUTH ACROSS
THE PLAINS. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL ARRIVE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AS NORTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS. HIGHS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL RISE ONLY
INTO THE UPPER 60S TO THE LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

STRONG STORMS AROUND THE BWG TERMINAL WILL CONTINUE TO POSE A
SIGNIFICANT LIGHTNING/TORRENTIAL RAIN THREAT OVER THE NEXT
HOUR...MAYBE TWO. SMALL HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE AT THE TAF SITE.
OTHERWISE...SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH IFR VSBYS
OR LESS FROM THE RAIN...AND MVFR CIGS. SFC WINDS SHOULD BACK AROUND
TO THE SOUTH TOMORROW AS THE BOUNDARY LIFTS BACK NORTHWARD...PUSHING
MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE THREAT NORTH TOWARD SDF AND LEX AGAIN FOR
MONDAY.
