AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
319 AM EDT SAT APR 23 2011

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

...TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF THE AREA UNTIL 6AM EDT...

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT FOR ALL OF
SOUTH-CENTRAL INDIANA AND THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR KY COUNTIES...

SFC BOUNDARY ACROSS THE MID-MS VALLEY REGION AND AMPLE SHOWERS AND
STORMS ALONG IT WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT.
STILL SEEING GOOD INSTABILITY AND PLENTY OF LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AHEAD OF
THE MAIN LINE OVER OUR SRN HALF OF THE CWA. STORMS CONTINUE TO SHOW
GOOD ROTATION AND WE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE WALL CLOUD/FUNNEL CLOUD
REPORTS. THUS THE SEVERE/TORNADIC THREAT CONTINUES FOR THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLY...AND POSSIBLY A
FEW TORNADOES AS WELL.

ANOTHER LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM SW INDIANA INTO SE MISSOURI
WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION AND EXACERBATE THE FLASH FLOODING
POTENTIAL AS MUCH OF IT WILL TRACK OVER THE SAME AREAS THAT RECEIVED
THE MOST RAIN...MAINLY SOUTH-CENTRAL IN AND NORTH-CENTRAL KY. HEAVY
RAIN AND POTENTIAL FLOODING WILL REALLY BE THE MAIN THREAT THROUGH
DAWN-MID MORNING WHERE POTENTIALLY ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES...LOCALLY
MORE...COULD FALL WITH THE HEAVIEST STORMS ESPECIALLY IF THEY TRAIN
OVER THE SAME AREAS.

ONCE THIS CONVECTION FINALLY PUSHES EAST OF THE AREA...ROUGHLY MID
MORNING...THE BOUNDARY WILL HOVER SOMEWHERE ACROSS OUR CENTRAL CWA
AND MORE SHOWERS/STORMS WILL REDEVELOP ALONG IT DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. SOME OF THESE COULD BE SEVERE AGAIN (THINKING LARGE HAIL WILL
BE THE MAIN THREAT)...BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY COULD BRING ADDITIONAL
HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING POTENTIAL. INSERTED SEVERE WORDING INTO
THE AFTERNOON ZONES...AS WELL AS EXTENDED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
UNTIL 12Z SUNDAY.

MADE NO CHANGES BEYOND TODAY/TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY - FRIDAY)...

...SIGNIFICANT RAINS ANTICIPATED IN THE LONG TERM FORECAST PERIOD...

SUNDAY - TUESDAY...

SUNDAY WE/LL HAVE A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLED OUT SOMEWHERE OVER
SOUTHERN INDIANA WITH MULTIPLE WAVES OF PRECIP RIDING ALONG THAT
BOUNDARY.  AS A LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER MO/OK/TX MONDAY
MORNING...THE FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH A BIT PUTTING US IN THE WARM
SECTOR.  THIS WILL HELP TO DECREASE RAIN CHANCES OVER SOUTHERN
INDIANA.  MOST OF CENTRAL KY SHOULD BE DRY WITH SOME SUNSHINE
PEAKING THROUGH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.  WITH A STRONG SOUTHERLY
FLOW...TEMPS SHOULD WARM INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S FOR HIGHS AND LOW
TO MID 60S FOR LOWS.

THE LOW PRESSURE WILL STRENGTHEN AND MOVE NE INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY
TUES EVENING.  THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL PUSH
INTO OUR AREA TUES AND BECOME STATIONARY TO THE NORTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER BY TUES NIGHT. AHEAD AND ALONG OF THIS FRONT SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS THE AREA TUES.  THE 12Z EURO AND
GFS DISAGREE ON HOW FAST THIS PRECIP WILL MAKE IT INTO THE
AREA...BUT GENERALLY IT LOOKS LIKE TUESDAY MORNING WILL BE PRIME FOR
T-STORMS.  SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG ESPECIALLY WEST OF
I-65 WITH HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL.  TEMPS TUES SHOULD BE LIMITED TO
MID 70S TO AROUND 80.

WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY...

ANOTHER MORE POTENT LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE UP THE BOUNDARY
SOMEWHERE ALONG OR NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER WED/WED NIGHT.  ANOTHER
THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL FLASH FLOODING WILL EXIST AS
AN AXIS OF HEAVY RAINFALL LOOKS TO SET UP SOMEWHERE OVER OUR ALREADY
WELL SATURATED FORECAST AREA.  STRONG STORMS COULD BE POSSIBLE AS
WELL ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KY SOUTH OF THE SFC LOW.

THURS HEAVY RAINS AND T-STORMS SHOULD BE GONE WITH ONLY A FEW SCT
SHOWERS IN THE UPPER TROUGH BEHIND THIS SFC LOW.  WE/LL FINALLY SEE
WHAT LOOKS TO BE A FEW DAYS OF DRY WEATHER FRI/SAT BEFORE ANOTHER
WEATHER SYSTEM APPROACHES ON SUN/MON.

TEMPS WILL BE IN THE 70S FOR WED...COOLING TO THE MID 60S FOR THURS
IN THE UPPER TROUGH.  A WARM UP FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL PUSH
HIGHS BACK INTO THE 70S.

QPF SUMMARY...

TOTAL QPF AMOUNTS FOR THE WEEK LOOK TO BE BETWEEN 2 TO 4 INCHES AT
THIS TIME WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ANTICIPATED.  THE BULK OF THIS
RAIN SHOULD OCCUR TUE-WED.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

BOUNDARY WITH AMPLE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG IT WILL CONTINUE
TO AFFECT THE SDF TERMINAL MOSTLY...WITH STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
OVER THE NEXT TWO HOURS...WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 KT POSSIBLE. STORMS
ARE NEARING BWG AT THE MOMENT...BUT LOOK WEAKER. STORMS WILL REACH
LEX WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO JUST LIKE BWG AS WELL. IFR CIGS AND LIFR
VSBYS WILL BE THE RULE WITH ANY STORMS...AND LIKELY ON AND OFF
THROUGH 10Z...THOUGH MOST OF THE REGULAR THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTAIN
MVFR CIGS/IFR VSBYS.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/STORMS WILL RETURN TO AT LEAST
SDF...PERHAPS LEX AND BWG SATURDAY AFTERNOON SO WE COULD SEE A BREAK
IN CONVECTION IN THE MORNING. NOT INCLUDING WINDS FROM STORMS...SFC
WINDS WILL LIKELY STAY OUT OF THE SOUTH AND REMAIN GUSTY.
