NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
717 PM EDT THU APR 28 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT - SATURDAY)...

TONIGHT-FRIDAY MORNING...

WISH WE COULD SAY THE RAIN WAS OVER...BUT ANOTHER FRONT AIDED BY A
SHORT WAVE OVER IL ON THE BACK SIDE OF AN UPPER LOW OVER MILWAUKEE
WILL APPROACH THE REGION TONIGHT...BRINGING SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO AT LEAST SOUTHERN INDIANA AND
NORTH-CENTRAL KENTUCKY LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING/EARLY
NIGHTTIME HOURS. SHOWERS (AND A STORM OR TWO) HAVE ALREADY POPPED UP
GENERALLY ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL IL. THESE WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST FIRST
AFFECTING OUR NWRN CWA AND SPREADING SEWD THROUGH THE EVENING. THE
GOOD NEWS IS THAT ONLY A FEW HUNDREDTHS TO AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH
OF RAIN OR SO CAN BE EXPECTED...SO THIS ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL NOT
AFFECT ANY ONGOING RIVER FLOODING/AREAL FLOODING CONCERNS. OF ANY
STRONGER SHOWERS OR T-STORMS THAT FORM...CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING
AND SMALL HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS GIVEN THE LOW FREEZING
HEIGHTS ALOFT. THESE SHOWERS/ISLD STORMS WILL WANE OVERNIGHT WITH
THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING A THEY SPREAD FROM NW TO SE. HAVE HIGH
CHANCE POPS OVER THE NORTH TAPERING OFF TO SLIGHT CHC POPS OVER THE
FAR SOUTH. CLOUDS AND CONTINUED MODERATE WINDS WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM
FALLING TOO MUCH OVERNIGHT...BUT IT WILL BE CHILLY. HAVE LOW TO MID
40S FOR MINIMUM TEMPS TONIGHT.

LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT WILL REACH OUR NWRN CWA AROUND DAWN FRIDAY
MORNING. OTHER THAN SPRINKLES...MOST OF THE RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD HAVE
ENDED BY FRIDAY MORNING OR BE EAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...LOW
STRATO-CU WILL AFFECT AT LEAST OUR ERN HALF OF THE CWA TOMORROW
MORNING. THESE WILL PUSH OUT TO THE EAST RATHER QUICKLY WITH
CLEARING FROM THE WEST.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON-SATURDAY...

WITH CLEARING FROM THE WEST FRIDAY AFTERNOON...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
PUSH ITS WAY ACROSS THE AREA. WITH SUNNY SKIES IN THE
AFTERNOON...THINK TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO THE MID 60S NE (AFTER
A SLOW START) TO THE LOW 70S SW.

THE SFC HIGH WILL PUSH WELL EAST AND OUR WINDS WILL SHIFT AROUND TO
THE SOUTH BY SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS WILL INCREASE
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND THUS OUR WINDS. WITH GOOD SOUTHERLY FLOW
IN PLACE...SATURDAY WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH HIGHS TOPPING OUT
IN THE MID 70S NE TO NEAR 80 S/SW (AFTER A CHILLY START TO THE DAY).
IMAGINE THAT...WE ACTUALLY HAVE A DRY FORECAST FOR A CONSECUTIVE 36
HOURS (12Z FRI - 00Z SUN).

.LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY)...

SATURDAY NIGHT - MONDAY...

ANOTHER WET PERIOD OF WEATHER IS CONTINUING TO LOOK MORE AND MORE
LIKELY LATE THIS WEEKEND THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. THIS
WILL OCCUR AS HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE AND WEAK RIDGING ALOFT
GIVE WAY TO POTENT SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND SURFACE
LOW OVER ONTARIO. TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL SAG ACROSS THE WABASH
RIVER VALLEY SOUTHWEST THROUGH LITTLE ROCK AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS BY
DAWN ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY NIGHT...MAINLY CONFINED TO
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER.

THE FRONT WILL THEN BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGH SUNDAY AND
SUNDAY EVENING AS BROAD SOUTHWEST FLOW NEARLY PARALLELS FRONTAL
ORIENTATION DUE TO SOUTHEAST CONUS RIDGE HOLDING ITS GROUND. THIS
WILL PUT US IN A POSITION TO ADVECT PLENTY OF DEEP MOISTURE BACK
INTO THE REGION AND WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY AVAILABLE AS A KICKER...
WILL LIKELY SEE PERIODIC SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THERE ARE STILL
DIFFERENCES IN TIMING BETWEEN OPERATIONAL GFS/GFS ENSEMBLES AND THE
EURO/UKMET AS THE LATTER GROUP OF MODELS IS MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED WITH
THE TROUGH. SLIGHTLY SLOWER GFS IS MUCH LESS AMPLIFIED AND THEREFORE
NOT  AS STRONG TO PUSH THE FRONT THROUGH.

EXITING FRONT WILL QUICKLY PUSH PRECIPITATION TO THE EAST THROUGH
MONDAY WITH AREAS EAST OF I 65 SEEING THE BEST COVERAGE. OVERALL
THROUGH THE EVENT...EXPECT AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF I 65 TO SEE THE
MOST RAINFALL WITH A QPF RANGE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES TOTAL. HPC HAS
GONE QUITE A BIT HIGHER WITH THEIR QPF IN THE 2 TO 3 INCH RANGE
ALONG THE OHIO RIVER. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AS FORECAST
SOUNDINGS DO SHOW AN EFFICIENT RAINFALL SOUNDING WITH ISOTHERMAL
LAYER NEAR THE SURFACE AND SATURATED COLUMN. PWATS APPEAR TO JUMP
AROUND THE 1.5 INCH RANGE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL
CONTEMPLATE PUTTING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE ZONES FOR THIS
TIME PERIOD GIVEN THE ONGOING HYDRO SITUATION ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL BE TRICKY DEPENDING ON
WHERE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETS UP AND WHEN IT MOVES THROUGH. COULD SEE
QUITE A GRADIENT BETWEEN UPPER 60S ACROSS SOUTHWEST INDIANA TO
AROUND 80 IN THE LAKE CUMBERLAND REGION. MONDAY WILL BE MUCH COOLER
EVERYWHERE WITH HIGHS EXPECTED IN THE MID 60S. LOWS ON SATURDAY
NIGHT WILL BE QUITE MILD AS HEAVY SKY COVER AND HIGHER DEW POINTS AT
THE SURFACE KEEP THE MERCURY IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S. SUNDAY NIGHT
WILL BE COOLER AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE AND GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES.
EXPECT LOWS IN THE 47 TO 52 DEGREE RANGE.

MONDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY...

ANTICIPATE A DRY PERIOD OF WEATHER THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND GRADUAL WEAK RIDGING BUILD IN BEHIND
DEPARTING TROUGH AXIS. QUESTION STILL REMAINS HOW AMPLIFIED THIS
TROUGH AXIS WILL BE AND WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD SQUEEZE OUT A FEW
SHOWERS ON TUESDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO LEAVE THE FORECAST DRY FOR NOW
UNTIL DETAILS BECOME MORE CLEAR. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE A
PERIOD OF AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURE VALUES AS
STEADY COLD AIR ADVECTION OFFSETS MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. LOOK FOR HIGHS
TO REBOUND FROM THE MID 60S ON TUESDAY TO THE LOWER 70S ON
WEDNESDAY.

ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH FROM
THE WEST ON THURSDAY... DRAGGING A COLD FRONT NEAR THE AREA. FAVORED
THE SLOWER ECMWF AND FEEL PRECIPITATION WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL THURSDAY
NIGHT AND LATER AND WILL KEEP THE DAYTIME DRY FOR NOW. HIGH
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE ABOUT THE SAME AS WEDNESDAY AS HEAVIER CLOUD
COVER MOVES OVER THE REGION TO OFFSET SLIGHTLY BETTER WARM AIR
ADVECTION. MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHTS WILL FEATURE THE COOLEST
OVERNIGHT LOWS AS SKIES CLEAR AND TD/S DROP BEHIND THE FRONT. LOOK
FOR THE MERCURY TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOW AND MID 40S EACH NIGHT.
SOME OF THE COOLEST EASTERN VALLEY SPOTS COULD POSSIBLY DIP INTO THE
UPPER 30S.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION WILL PUSH THROUGH KSDF SHORTLY.  BASED ON
UPSTREAM REPORTS...CONVECTION SHOULD BE IN PROGRESS AT KSDF AT
29/00Z WITH GUSTY WINDS UP TO 35KTS.  THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AND
THE CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY PUSH EAST AND MAY WEAKEN A BIT AS THE
SUN GOES DOWN.  BY THE TIME IT REACHES KLEX AROUND 29/03Z...IT WILL
LIKELY BE JUST SHOWERS WITH WIND GUSTS UP TO 25-28KTS.  KBWG LOOKS
TO REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE PD WITH GUSTY WINDS THIS EVENING...BUT
THESE SHOULD DIE DOWN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES.  SFC COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH LATE TONIGHT ALLOWING WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE
WEST AND NORTHWEST BY DAWN FRIDAY.

RIVER FLOODING AS WELL AS AREAL FLOODING ACROSS LOW LYING AREAS

THUNDERSTORMS WITH A THREAT OF CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND BRIEF
HEAVY RAIN ARE POSSIBLE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING INTO MONDAY AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES AND MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING COULD BRING THE BEST CHANCE AT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.
STAY UP TO DATE ON THE LATEST FORECAST RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR THE
END OF THE WEEKEND AS HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS REMAIN CRITICAL ACROSS
THE OHIO VALLEY.
