AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
722 AM EDT THU APR 21 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

06Z SFC ANALYSIS THIS MORNING REVEALS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUING TO
BUILD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING.  SFC COLD FRONT RESPONSIBLE
FOR WEDNESDAYS SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE LIES TO OUR SOUTH ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF COAST STATES.  CURRENTLY A LARGE SCALE MCS IS DOWN
THAT WAY PRODUCING QUITE A BIT OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MAINLY
ACROSS NORTHERN GEORGIA.  MID-HIGH LEVEL CLOUD DEBRIS IS STREAMING
ACROSS KENTUCKY THIS MORNING RESULTING IN MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS
WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-UPPER 40S IN THE NORTH WITH UPPER 40S
AND LOWER 50S DOWN SOUTH.

FOR TODAY...SHORT TERM DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE CONTINUES
TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MAINLY A DRY DAY ACROSS SOUTHERN
INDIANA AND MOST OF KENTUCKY. THE MODELS DO SUGGEST THAT THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TO THE SOUTH WILL START TO RETREAT BACK TO THE NORTH AS THE
DAY WEARS ON.  THIS MAY BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND PERHAPS
A THUNDERSTORM TO THE FAR SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA.  IN
GENERAL...FEEL THAT BEST CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE SOUTH OF
THE CUMBERLAND PARKWAY TODAY.  THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST IS SOMEWHAT
COMPLICATED DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE CLOUD COVER.  THE HIGH
PRESSURE CELL WILL LIKELY RESULT IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA
GOING PARTLY CLOUDY TODAY...THOUGH MID-HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL BE ON
THE INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  FOR NOW HAVE GONE WITH A GENERAL
BLEND OF THE GUIDANCE AND HAVE MOST AREAS IN THE LOWER 60S TODAY.
HIGHEST READINGS WILL BE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH WHERE 60-65 DEGREE
HIGHS SEEM REASONABLE.

FOR TONIGHT...MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD
AGREEMENT HERE WITH THE SFC WARM FRONT SURGING NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
REGION.  FAIRLY HEALTHY ISENTROPIC LIFT AROUND THE 300K SURFACE
COMBINED WITH MODEL TIME-HEIGHTS HINTING AT GOOD SATURATION SUGGESTS
THAT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY
TONIGHT AS THE WARM FRONT PRESSES THROUGH THE REGION.  HAVE BUMPED
UP POPS ACROSS THE REGION WITH 90-100 PERCENT PROBABILITIES.  LOWS
TONIGHT WILL LIKELY OCCUR EARLY IN THE PD WITH TEMPERATURES RISING A
BIT AS THE WARM FRONT WORKS NORTHWARD.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY - WEDNESDAY)...

THE LONG TERM LOOKS TO BE SHAPING UP TO BE QUITE WET...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY

A WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH NORTH THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. ONGOING SHOWERS FRIDAY MORNING
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY. PRECIPITATION
WILL LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE DAY WITH THIS FEATURE WITH MOST OR ALL
OF THE FORECAST AREA DRYING OUT FOR A FEW HOURS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING BEFORE THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM
APPROACHES. THIS COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT ALONG OR JUST NORTH OF
THE OHIO RIVER. MULTIPLE WAVES OF ENERGY WILL RIDE ALONG THIS
BOUNDARY BRINGING ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.

THE BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY.
CONSEQUENTLY THE HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS WILL BE IN THIS REGION.
PRECIPITATION TOTALS FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MAY AVERAGE UPWARDS OF
THREE INCHES...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS WHERE ANY THUNDERSTORMS ARE
TRAINING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL AGGRAVATE ONGOING RIVER FLOODING.
ADDITIONALLY FLASH FLOODING MAY BE POSSIBLE IF TRAINING STORMS DO
SET UP. RAINFALL TOTALS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WHERE THIS
BOUNDARY ACTUALLY STALLS SO BE SURE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

THERE IS ALSO A THREAT FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER FRIDAY
EVENING/NIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA. ONGOING STORMS
DURING THE AFTERNOON TO THE WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA LOOK TO AGAIN
EVOLVE INTO A QLCS TYPE SYSTEM. THE MAIN THREAT WILL AGAIN BE
DAMAGING WINDS WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES AND POSSIBLY LARGE HAIL.

SUNDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY

A MUCH STRONGER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO ORGANIZE LATE
SUNDAY OVER THE PLAINS. THIS SYSTEM WILL FINALLY LIFT THE BOUNDARY
TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT. WE MAY SEE SOME DRY WEATHER MONDAY
BEFORE THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY MOVES THROUGH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
THIS SYSTEM MAY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN AND A SHOT AT
SEVERE WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION (12Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY.
PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THE TERMINALS THROUGHOUT
THE DAY AS THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL HELP KEEP THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS
DRIED OUT AT KSDF/KLEX.  HOWEVER...CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVING THROUGH
SOUTHERN ARKANSAS WILL LIKELY SPREAD MID-HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS NORTHWARD
THROUGH KBWG THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  SFC WINDS WILL VEER FROM THE
NORTHEAST THIS MORNING TO THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

A COLD FRONT LOCATED ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST STATES IS
FORECAST TO RETREAT NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY
IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH KENTUCKY TONIGHT.  WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED WITH A SCATTERED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS.  FEEL
THAT BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE JUST SHOWERS...BUT THE
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WARRANT AT LEAST VCTS.  SHOWERS SHOULD REACH
KBWG BY 22/03Z AND KSDF/KLEX IN THE 22/06-07Z TIME FRAME AND
CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY.
