AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
258 AM EST MON FEB 28 2011
.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...
...TORNADO WATCH FOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE FROM FRANKFORT
TO SCOTTSVILLE UNTIL 15Z...
WELL ADVERTISED COLD FRONT IS QUICKLY APPROACHING THE CWA FROM THE
WEST. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED ALL AREAS WEST OF A
LINE FROM FRANKFORT TO SCOTTSVILLE UNDER A TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 15Z.
THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE STRONG-SEVERE STORMS ALONG THE FRONT...AS
WELL AS EMBEDDED TORNADIC SIGNATURES PEPPERED THROUGHOUT. THIS TREND
WILL CONTINUE...AS LIFTED INDICES RANGE FROM -1 TO -2 C ACROSS MUCH
OF THE CWA...MAINLY I-65 WESTWARD. THESE COULD BECOME WORSE IF
DEWPOINTS JUMP INTO THE LOW 60S CLOSER TO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. IN
ADDITION...DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS PLENTY SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS
HOWEVER UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL DOMINATE OVER OUR AREA...SO A
SQUALL LINE W/ EMBEDDED BOWING SEGMENTS AND A FEW SUPERCELLUAR
STRUCTURES ARE EXPECTED AS THE COLD FRONT REACHES OUR CWA. AREA VAD
WIND PROFILERS SHOW ANYWHERE FROM 60-80 KTS AT 2-3KFT...SO LOW LEVEL
SPEED SHEAR IS VERY HIGH...ALSO LENDING TO STORM RELATIVE HELICITY
VALUES FROM THE SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE OF 400 TO OVER 600 M2/S2. SO
ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL THREAT FROM ANY SEVERE STORM ALONG THE COLD
FRONT WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...ISOLATED TORNADOES CAN
NOT BE RULED OUT GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF SPEED SHEAR IN THE LOWER
ATMOSPHERE.
SINCE THE CONVECTION ALONG THE COLD FRONT IS TILTED FROM S-CENTRAL
IL...SOUTHWEST TO S-CENTRAL MO...THE SQUALL LINE LOOKS TO ARRIVE
OVER OUR WRN INDIANA COUNTIES BY AS EARLY AS 830Z/330 AM EST...AND
OUR WRN KY COUNTIES BY 10Z/5AM EST...AND PERHAPS THE BOWLING GREEN
METRO AREA BY 12-13Z. WITH THIS EARLY MORNING ARRIVAL OVER THE WRN
CWA...THIS MAY GIVE OUR ERN CWA A COUPLE OF HOURS OF ADDITIONAL
DESTABILIZATION. THUS SPC STILL HAS A MODERATE RISK OUT FOR OUR ERN
CWA TODAY. HOWEVER...THE 00Z NMM-WRF ANALYZED THE CURRENT RADAR
TRENDS VERY WELL...AND THIS MODEL HAS STRONG-SEVERE LINE OVER OUR
NWRN CWA BY 4AM EST...AND THEN PUSHING ACROSS THE BLUEGRASS REGION
OF KY BETWEEN 15-18Z ROUGHLY...WITH SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS BEHIND
THE FRONT. SO HAVE TRENDED POPS BACK LATE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT
CONTINUE THE HEAVY RAINFALL/SEVERE WORDING IN THE FORECAST.
HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MORNING...AND TEMPS WILL PLUMMET BEHIND
THE FRONT...MOST LIKELY INTO THE 40S. GRADIENT WINDS AHEAD OF THE
CONVECTION AND BEHIND WILL BE SUSTAINED 15-25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45
MPH.
TONIGHT...TOOK OUT SHOWER MENTION OVER THE EAST AS COLD FRONTAL
PRECIP WILL HAVE EXITED OUR CWA BY 00Z. TEMPS WILL DROP INTO THE
UPPER 20S/LOWER 30S OVERNIGHT.
.LONG TERM (TUESDAY - SUNDAY)...
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE DAY
TUESDAY. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTH ON
WEDNESDAY...BUT WITH FAIRLY ZONAL FLOW...MOISTURE WILL BE PRETTY
SCANT ACROSS THE REGION. THE FRONT MAY MAKE IT CLOSE TO THE OHIO
RIVER...BEFORE STALLING OUT AND RETREATING QUICKLY AS A WARM FRONT
DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST BY THURSDAY NIGHT ALLOWING
MOISTURE TO RETURN FROM THE GULF STATES AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY.
MAX TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE
MID 50S TO LOW 60S...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER-MID 30S.
THOUGH WITH THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPING THURSDAY
NIGHT...TEMPERATURES PROBABLY WILL NOT DROP ALL THAT MUCH WITH LOWS
IN THE LOWER-MID 40S REGION WIDE.
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
PATTERN LOOKS TO TURN ACTIVE ONCE AGAIN AS WE APPROACH THE WEEKEND.
FROM THE GLOBAL SCALE...IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE SOLIDLY IN A CLASSIC LA
NINA PATTERN WITH THE WAVE TRAIN BRINGING SYSTEMS THROUGH THE REGION
EVERY 5-7 DAYS. BOTH THE LONG TERM GFS AND EURO SOLUTIONS KEEP THE
SOUTHEAST RIDGE BUILT UP ALLOWING FOR THE STORM TRACK TO BE MORE OF
A MIDWEST-BASED PATTERN. THUS...GIVEN THE CURRENT WAVE PATTERN...WE
ARE PROBABLY LOOKING AT MID-LEVEL WAVES COMING THROUGH EVERY 5-6
DAYS OR SO. FOR THE WEEKEND...THE GFS AND EURO ARE IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT WITH ANOTHER H5 TROUGH AXIS CRUISING THROUGH THE MID WEST
WITH A SFC LOW MOVING UP FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS IN THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES AND UPPER OHIO VALLEY. THERE IS SOME TIMING ISSUES BETWEEN
THE EURO AND GFS...BUT BOTH MODEL AGREE THAT THE PERIOD FROM FRIDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WILL LIKELY BE WET AND STORMY.
SOUTHWESTERLY SFC AND PBL FLOW WILL ALLOW THE NORTHWARD TRANSPORT OF
WARM MOIST ARE BACK INTO THE REGION. PROBABLY WILL SEE SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT AS WE WILL BE IN THE
WARM SECTOR AND HAVE ADEQUATE LIFT DUE TO WARM AIR ADVECTION
PATTERN. SFC COLD FRONT WILL THEN SWING THROUGH LATE FRIDAY OR
SATURDAY BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS TO
THE REGION ALONG WITH HEAVY RAINFALL. SOME TIMING DIFFERENCE REALLY
BECOME APPARENT BY LATE SAT/SUNDAY WITH RESPECT TO HOW FAST THIS
SYSTEM WILL CLEAR THE REGION. FOR NOW HAVE SIDED CLOSER WITH THE
GFS/HPC SOLUTIONS...BUT MAY NEED TO BUMP POPS UP FOR SUNDAY IN
FUTURE FORECAST ISSUANCES SHOULD SLOWER SOLUTION EMERGE.
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PD WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 50S TO THE LOWER 60S...AND THEN COOLING BACK INTO THE
MID-UPPER 40S ON SUNDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
* FORECAST OVERVIEW AND RAINFALL -
A FEW LOCATIONS STILL REMAIN IN FLOOD...WOODBURY...ROCHESTER...TELL
CITY AND BOSTON. ON AVERAGE ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH OF RAIN
FELL SUNDAY...BUT ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS OF ONE HALF TO ONE AND A HALF
INCHES OF RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED WITH APPROACHING SQUALL LINE ALONG
THE COLD FRONT. THIS ADDITIONAL RAINFALL...COMBINED WITH PREVIOUS
RAINS AND SATURATED GROUNDS COULD LEAD TO RIVER RISES AND POSSIBLE
FLOODING. THUS THE FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON.

.AVIATION (06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN THIS TAF PERIOD AS MOIST AIRMASS...FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR...COMBINES WITH VIGOROUS COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE
AREA. PRESSURE GRADIENT IS TIGHTENING AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...SO
SEEING WINDS GUSTING AT MOST SITES NOW. REGION IS NOW ENTIRELY IN
THE WARM SECTOR OF THIS STORM SYSTEM...THUS AS STORMS
INITIATE...EXPECT STRONGER WIND GUSTS TO ACCOMPANY THE STORMS.
TIMING OF DISCRETE CELLS THAT FORM AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE TOO
DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT NOW...BUT HAVE HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN STORMS
ONGOING AROUND DAYBREAK AT KBWG AND KSDF AND A LITTLE LATER AT KLEX.
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NORTHWESTERLY AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH
BY LATE MORNING AT KSDF AND KBWG AND EARLY AFTERNOON AT KLEX.

LATE TONIGHT...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST...BRINGING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OUT AHEAD OF IT. BECAUSE OF THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD FRONT...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG IT...WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS BEING THE MAIN THREAT. AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT ALSO EXISTS WITH THE EXPECTED STORMS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS THREAT WILL OCCUR AFTER 3 AM EST TONIGHT AND MAINLY WEST OF I-65. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE MONDAY MORNING AND WILL SPREAD EASTWARD TO THE SOUTHERN BLUEGRASS AND LAKE CUMBERLAND REGIONS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS. AGAIN...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY STORM...ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. IN ADDITION...WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. WITH ALREADY SATURATED GROUNDS AND SOME RIVERS STILL IN FLOOD OR FLOWING AT ELEVATED RATES...SHARP RISES IN AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THE RAINFALL...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR RIVER FLOODING. THUS...A FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...AN ISOLATED FLASH FLOOD THREAT FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTERS WILL BE NEEDED TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON TO REPORT INSTANCES OF DAMAGING WINDS...FLOODING AND RAINFALL TOTALS. JSD/MJ
