AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
130 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)...

...FLOODING ISSUES WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY...

SURFACE LOW WILL STRENGTHEN AND MOVE TO THE UPPER MIDWEST BY TUESDAY
EVENING...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT TO OUR WESTERN DOORSTEP. MEANWHILE...
THE OHIO VALLEY WILL STAY IN BROAD SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH AMPLE
AMOUNTS OF DEEP MOISTURE ADVECTING INTO THE REGION. EXPECTING A
CONTINUED ACTIVE PERIOD OF WEATHER IN THE SHORT TERM WITH ANOTHER 1
TO 2 INCHES OF TOTAL RAINFALL POSSIBLE GENERALLY WEST OF I 65
THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. AREAS SOUTHEAST OF A RUSSELLVILLE...TO
ELIZABETHTOWN...TO NEW CASTLE LINE CAN EXPECT LESS THAN AN INCH OF
RAINFALL DURING THIS FORECAST PERIOD...WITH THE BULK OF THE
PRECIPITATION FALLING DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. HAVE EXTENDED THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH NORTH OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED LINE OF CITIES TO AT
LEAST TUESDAY EVENING. SOUTH OF THE LINE...HAVE CANCELLED THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FOR THE TIME BEING AS BETTER CHANCES OF CONVECTIVE
RAINFALL ARE NOT EXPECTED UNTIL TOMORROW. THESE AREAS COULD BE
INCLUDED IN FUTURE FLASH FLOOD PRODUCTS.

A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTH THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. EXPECT THE BULK OF THIS FIRST WAVE
OF PRECIPITATION TO BE TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA BY 9 PM EDT WITH A
BRIEF LULL IN PRECIPITATION DURING THE LATE EVENING HOURS. ABOUT
THIS TIME...50 TO 60 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET WILL CRANK UP ACROSS THE
AREA HELPING TO PUSH THE WARM FRONT WELL NORTH OF THE REGION.
MEANWHILE...A LINE OF CONVECTION WILL FIRE AND ORGANIZE TO THE WEST
OF THE AREA AS TRAILING COLD FRONT OF STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE
MOVES EAST OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. OUR BRIEF LULL OF
PRECIPITATION WILL GIVE WAY TO A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WEST OF I 65 IN THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. THIS LINE WILL GRADUALLY DIE AS
IT MOVES EAST DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. THERE IS SOME CONCERN WITH
SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH LINE OF STORMS MOVING INTO SOUTHWESTERN
IN/WEST CENTRAL KENTUCKY EARLY THIS MORNING AS EXCELLENT DIRECTIONAL
AND SPEED SHEAR WILL EXIST. AT THIS POINT...THE LIMITING FACTOR WILL
BE INSTABILITY AS AREA HAS BEEN WORKED OVER AND WIND THREAT WILL BE
HARD TO MIX DOWN. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER DOES HAVE A SLIGHT
RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IN OUR EXTREME NORTHWEST CWA...HOWEVER THEY
MENTION ONLY A CONDITIONAL CHANCE OF ANY SEVERE OCCURRING. ONCE
AGAIN...THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE FOR LIGHTNING...HEAVY RAIN AND THE
FLOODING HAZARDS THAT MIGHT ACCOMPANY THIS RAIN.

EXPECT LOW TEMPERATURES TO ONLY DIP DOWN INTO THE LOW AND MID 60S
TONIGHT WITH HIGHS ON TUESDAY SOLIDLY IN THE MID 70S. DO NOT EXPECT
MUCH IN THE WAY OF BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AS DECAYING LINE OF STORMS
SHOULD BE OVER THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.

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

...PARAMETERS STILL POINTING TO A POTENTIAL EXCESSIVE RAIN EVENT FOR
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY...

A POWERFUL JET NOSING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL
SPAWN TWO STORM SYSTEMS IN SUCCESSION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE
SECOND OF THE TWO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING WIDESPREAD FLOODING
RAINS TO SOUTHERN INDIANA AND THE COMMONWEALTH.

SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES EXIST IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE FIRST SYSTEM.
THESE DIFFERENCES WILL AFFECT PRECIPITATION TOTALS ACROSS CENTRAL
KENTUCKY FOR WEDNESDAY. THE LATEST OPERATIONAL GFS STRONGLY DEEPENS
AND THEN OCCLUDES LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST SYSTEM OVER
WISCONSIN BY LATE EVENING TUESDAY. IT THEN DEEPENS A SECOND LOW AND
FORECASTS IT TO MOVE NORTHEAST RIGHT OVER THE COMMONWEALTH LATE
WEDNESDAY.  WHILE THE NAM HAS A SIMILAR FORECAST WITH THE TRACK OF
THESE LOWS...IT BRINGS MUCH HEAVIER QPF AMOUNTS NORTHEAST INTO
CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA WEDNESDAY...AS OPPOSED TO THE
GFS...WHICH SHUNTS THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST
ACROSS CENTRAL TENNESSEE AND EASTERN KENTUCKY.

SHOULD THE NAM VERIFY...3 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN ARE QUITE POSSIBLE FOR
THE 36 HOURS BETWEEN TUESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING...THE DRIER
GFS IS CLOSER TO TWO INCHES.

IN ANY CASE RIVER AND STREAM FLOODING...ALREADY IN PROGRESS...WILL
WORSEN BY LATE WEDNESDAY.

HOW ROBUSTLY MOISTURE RETURNS AND THE PRESENCE OF WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION TO OUR SOUTH EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL DETERMINE HOW HARD IT
WILL RAIN WEDNESDAY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT CONVECTION OVER EASTERN
ARKANSAS AND THE TENNESSEE VALLEY EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL LIMIT
SOMEWHAT ANY MOISTURE RETURNING NORTH. EVEN IS MOISTURE IS
LIMITED...ROBUST FORCING AND DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING
JET WILL BRING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE DAY INTO EARLY EVENING. THE THREAT OF ANY
SEVERE WEATHER WEDNESDAY IS QUITE PROBLEMATICAL. SURFACE INSTABILITY
WILL BE LIMITED. HOWEVER...STRONG WINDS AND DYNAMICS ALOFT MAY AID
IN PRODUCING AN ISOLATED WIND GUST OR MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL.

LATE WEDNESDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY MOVE ACROSS THE
COMMONWEALTH AS DEEP LOW PRESSURE OCCLUDES OVER THE GREAT LAKES.
SKIES WILL BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY THURSDAY WITH BLUSTERY WEST WINDS
AND MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES.

EXPECT DRY WEATHER AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AND EARLY
SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. BY LATE
SATURDAY...THE UPPER AIR PATTERN WILL TRANSITION INTO NORTHWEST
FLOW OVER THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. AFTER A POTENTIAL ROUND OF
THUNDERSTORMS EARLY SUNDAY...COOLER AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED
MONDAY.

T 12Z TUESDAY MORNING LOW PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER NORTHERN
ILLINOIS WITH A COLD FRONT REACHING SOUTHWEST INTO TEXAS. DURING THE
DAY THE LOW WILL ONLY DRIFT NORTHWARD INTO WISCONSIN AND NEW LOW
PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER TEXAS. THIS WILL KEEP THE COLD FRONT
NEARLY STATIONARY WITH WAVES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING
ALONG AND AHEAD OF IT. THE TEXAS LOW WILL ADVANCE TO ARKANSAS BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH THE WISCONSIN LOW MOVING VERY LITTLE OTHER
THAN POSSIBLY A SLIGHT SSE DRIFT. THE STUBBORN STORM SYSTEM WILL
THEN GET A SHOVE TO THE EAST AS A STRONG VORT MAX DIVES INTO THE
UPPER TROF OVER THE PLAINS. THE FRONT SHOULD PUSH EAST ACROSS
SOUTHERN INDIANA AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY ON
WEDNESDAY AND BE ALONG OR PERHAPS JUST SLIGHTLY EAST OF THE I-75
CORRIDOR BY EVENING.

TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL APPROACH
1.5 INCHES WHICH IS IN THE 99TH PERCENTILE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR. THE K INDEX WILL REACH THE MID TO UPPER 30S AND HPC
HAS US IN A MODERATE RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. SIGNIFICANT UPWARD
ATMOSPHERIC MOTION IS IMPLIED WITH A 50-60KT LLJ POINTED RIGHT AT
KENTUCKY AND THE REGION SITTING BETWEEN AN UPPER JET STREAK TO OUR
NORTH OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND ANOTHER TO OUR WEST OVER THE RED
RIVER VALLEY. WIDESPREAD 24-HOUR RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM TUESDAY
EVENING TO WEDNESDAY EVENING LOOK TO BE RATHER DIRE...IN THE 3 TO
LOCALLY 5 INCH RANGE WITH THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS OVER KENTUCKY.

STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AS WELL. STORMS LEFT OVER FROM TONIGHT/S ACTIVITY WILL BE EXITING
TUESDAY MORNING. THE ATMOSPHERE IS EXPECTED TO RECOVER AND BECOME
MODERATELY UNSTABLE TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE STRONG JET DYNAMICS
AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

A SIGNIFICANT BREAK FROM ALL THIS RAIN WILL FINALLY ARRIVE THURSDAY
EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
U.S. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. HOWEVER WET WEATHER MAY RETURN FOR THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL ADVANCE THROUGH THE TERMINALS
EARLY THIS MORNING. WILL USE RADAR TRENDS TO TIME THE TSRA INTO THE
AIRPORTS. MVFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE STORMS IN BOTH
CIGS AND VSBYS. AS IN ANY THUNDERSTORM WINDS WILL BE VARIABLE BUT
WILL LIKELY SWITCH FROM SSE AHEAD OF THE STORMS TO WSW IN THE
STORMS. THE STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH TO SHOWERS TOWARDS DAWN AND THEN
BECOME SCATTERED FOR MOST OF THE DAY.

WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY AHEAD OF
A VERY SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT TO OUR WEST. ALSO...WINDS WILL KICK UP
AND BECOME GUSTY TODAY OUT OF THE SSW. TONIGHT THE NEXT MAIN WAVE OF
STORMS WILL MOVE IN.
