AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
932 PM EDT TUE APR 26 2011

...MESOSCALE UPDATE...

CLASSIC SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORM CONTINUES TO TREK EASTWARD ACROSS
NORTH-CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS EVENING.  SUPERCELL APPARENTLY IS MOVING
ALONG AN EAST-WEST ORIENTED BOUNDARY AS EVIDENCED IN THE SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS.  NOT TOO MUCH OF A DEWPOINT DISCONTINUITY HERE...BUT A
SLIGHT SHIFT IN THE WINDS WERE NOTED.  EXPECT THIS SUPERCELL TO
CONTINUE TO HEAD EAST INTO SOUTHERN NELSON AND EVENTUALLY WASHINGTON
COUNTY KENTUCKY AREA OVER THE NEXT HOUR.  STORM WILL BE ENCOUNTERING
A SLIGHTLY LESS FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WHERE LI'S ARE DROPPING TO
AROUND -3 TO -4 DEG CELSIUS AND CAPE VALUES DROP AS ONE HEADS
EASTWARD TO LESS THAN 900 J/KG.

FURTHER WEST...BATCH OF INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE OVER WESTERN
KENTUCKY...MAINLY BETWEEN PADUCAH AND MADISONVILLE.  THESE STORMS
ARE HEADING TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST AND MAY IMPACT OUR FAR WESTERN KY
COUNTIES AND POSSIBLY OUR SOUTHWEST INDIANA COUNTIES LATER THIS
EVENING.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING)...

...WIDESPREAD FLOODING RAIN LIKELY LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WITH A
POSSIBLE REGIONAL OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER TOMORROW AFTERNOON...

WITH NEAR RECORD APRIL RAINFALL ALREADY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF
OUR FORECAST AREA...MORE RAIN IN NOT NEEDED. HOWEVER...WIDESPREAD
RAINS RANGING FROM TWO TO LOCALLY OVER 4 INCHES IS EXPECTED. THIS
WILL AGGRAVATE AN ALREADY BAD FLOODING SITUATION. HAVE THEREFORE
ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA-WIDE FOR LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING.

OVER THE PAST WEEK...PERSISTENT TROUGHING ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS
AND RIDGING ACROSS FLORIDA HAS LEAD TO REPEATED CONVECTIVE EPISODES
ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. THE LAST IN A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY TONIGHT. THIS LAST SYSTEM
WILL BE THE STRONGEST OF ALL...FUELED BY A POWERFUL UPPER JET THAT
WILL NOSE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. BY EARLY
WEDNESDAY...A COUPLED JET STRUCTURE WILL LEAD TO STRONG RISING
MOTION OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND RAPID DEEPENING OF LOW
PRESSURE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TOMORROW.

EVEN AT THIS LATE TIME...DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE LATEST GFS
AND THE NAM IN THE STRENGTHENING AND MOVEMENT OF THE SURFACE LOW. THE
NAM IS STRONGER AND FURTHER NORTH...STRENGTHENING THE LOW TO 986MB
OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS BY EARLY AFTERNOON. THE GFS IS WEAKER AND
SLIGHTLY MORE DIFFUSE WITH THIS FEATURE...BRINGING A BROAD TROUGH
THAT WILL EXTEND FROM CENTRAL INDIANA THROUGH ARKANSAS DURING THIS
SAME TIME.

IN RESPONSE TO THE RAPID DEEPENING OF THIS LOW...MID AND UPPER WINDS
WILL INTENSIFY RAPIDLY OVERNIGHT AND MOISTURE AND ELEVATED
INSTABILITY WILL RACE NORTHWARD FROM THE WESTERN GULF OVERNIGHT.
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST
INTO SOUTHWESTERN KENTUCKY BY LATE EVENING...OVERSPREADING THE
ENTIRE AREA BY THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.

PERIODIC THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY WEDNESDAY
WITH OCCASIONAL HEAVY RAIN. THE HYDROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER HAS
REMAIN CONSISTENT IN ITS FORECAST OF UP TO 4 INCHES OVER A 24 HOUR
PERIOD ENDING BY 06Z THURSDAY. SHOULD WIDESPREAD CONVECTION DEVELOP
AND CONTINUE ACROSS ARKANSAS AND TENNESSEE LATER TONIGHT...MOISTURE
TRANSPORT MAY BE DISRUPTED AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAY BE LESS.

SEVERE WEATHER IS A THREAT FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS
MID-LEVEL WINDS INCREASE AND THE NOSE OF THE UPPER JET MOVES INTO
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...STORM RELATIVE
HELICITIES...A MEASURE OF THE AMOUNT WIND SHEAR IN THE
ATMOSPHERE...WILL BECOME EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH. ONE LIMITING FACTOR FOR
SEVERE WEATHER TOMORROW WILL BE A POSSIBLE LACK OF INSTABILITY DUE
TO WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDINESS. HOWEVER...SHOULD ANY
DISCRETE STORMS DEVELOP...THEY WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
TORNADOES. ONE OR MORE LINES OF STORMS OR BOWING SEGMENTS MAY ALSO
DEVELOP...AND MAY PRODUCE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS.

BY THE EVENING...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST OF INTERSTATE 65...AND
STORMS WILL END BY LATE EVENING ACROSS THE BLUEGRASS AND LAKE
CUMBERLAND REGIONS. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL LEAD TO PARTIAL
CLEARING BY EARLY THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY)...

THURSDAY - THURSDAY NIGHT...

FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY MORNING WITH
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDING INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
DEEP EAST CONUS TROUGH WITH CLOSED LOW OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
WILL INFLUENCE SENSIBLE WEATHER. EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDS
SKIES ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY WITH AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DEEPER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WRAPPED
AROUND THE UPPER LOW. THESE AREAS WILL LIKELY STAY UNDER MOSTLY
CLOUDY TO CLOUDY SKIES WITH ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN THE
DEEPER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR RAIN THROUGH A
PORTION OF THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE SKIES BEGIN TO CLEAR FROM SOUTHWEST
TO NORTHEAST. HIGHS ON THURSDAY SHOULD BE COOL...IN THE LOWER 60S
ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S ELSEWHERE. LOWS
THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID 40S.

FRIDAY - SATURDAY...

BY FRIDAY...LARGE AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE EAST
ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES WITH UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SLIDING
EAST OF THE APPALACHIANS AND WEAK RIDGING BUILDING IN FROM THE
CENTRAL CONUS. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND DRY
WEATHER WITH HIGHS WARMING UP TO AROUND 70. FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE
MILDER AROUND 50 DEGREES. RIDGING WILL HOLD ON FOR SATURDAY WITH
CONTINUED DRY WEATHER AND INCREASING MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REBOUND...TOPPING OUT IN THE MID
70S.

SATURDAY NIGHT - MONDAY...

A WETTER PERIOD OF WEATHER FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND FIRST PART
OF NEXT WEEK IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY AS MODELS HAVE COME
INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH SLOWLY MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING
ACROSS THE AREA. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON
SATURDAY NIGHT AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVE INTO WESTERN ONTARIO. PERSISTENT
SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL DO ITS BEST TO HOLD GROUND...HELPING
TO STALL THE PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT AS OPEN SHORTWAVE OVER ONTARIO
CLOSES OFF AND HEADS DUE NORTH. BEST CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE WEST OF I 65 SATURDAY NIGHT...EVERYWHERE ON
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...AND EAST OF I 65 ON MONDAY. TIMING COULD
CHANGE SLIGHTLY SLOWER OR FASTER WITH THIS FRONTAL PROGRESSION
DEPENDING ON HOW WELL RIDGING TO THE EAST HOLDS UP. HAVE INCREASED
POPS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD TO A SOLID CHANCE OF OCCURRENCE. CURRENTLY
WITH FRONTAL PROGRESSION QUITE SLOW...QPF COULD AMOUNT TO AN INCH TO
AN INCH AND A HALF THROUGH THE EVENT...HOWEVER WITH SEVERAL DAYS
RECOVERY AHEAD OF THIS RAIN...FEEL IMPACTS WOULD BE LIMITED TO
SLOWING REGRESSION OF THE AREA RIVERS.

EXPECT HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S ON SUNDAY AND IN THE UPPER 60S
ON MONDAY WITH LOWS ON SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S AND
SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE LOWER 50S.

MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE AREA KEEPING THINGS DRY...WITH
HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 60S AND LOWS IN THE MID 40S.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

INCREASINGLY MOIST AIRMASS WILL SURGE INTO KENTUCKY THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT.  SCATTERED CONVECTION LOOKS TO REMAIN ACROSS WESTERN
KENTUCKY THIS EVENING.  STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION IS LIKELY WITH
ISOLATED TORNADOES GUSTY WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.  IN GENERAL...VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS OF 8-12KTS EXPECTED.

SURGING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER NE ARKANSAS WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST
TN AND WESTERN KENTUCKY LATER TONIGHT.  THIS IS LIKELY TO OVERSPREAD
CENTRAL KENTUCKY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  HAVE KEPT PREVIOUS
TEMPO GROUPS IN FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AT THE TERMINALS...BUT WILL
TRY AND FIRM THOSE UP LATER TONIGHT AS THE STORMS APPROACH.
