AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
728 PM EDT THU MAY 12 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...

STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN A MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE AHEAD OF A
MCV OVER NORTHWEST TENNESSEE THAT WAS EJECTED TO THE NORTHEAST BY
EARLY MORNING CONVECTION ACROSS TEXAS. THE STRONGEST FEW CELLS HAVE
MANAGED DIME SIZED HAIL AND WIND GUSTS OVER 40 MPH...ALONG WITH
LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER HOUR
OR TWO UNTIL WE START TO LOSE DAYTIME HEATING AND THE ATMOSPHERE
BEGINS TO STABILIZE. IN THE MEANTIME...WILL UPDATE GRIDS TO NEARLY
CATEGORICAL POPS AHEAD OF THE LINE OF STORMS WEST OF BOWLING GREEN
FOR THE NEXT HOUR...TAPERING THEM OFF SPATIALLY TO THE NORTH AND
TEMPORALLY INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS BEFORE COMING TO REST AT A
LOW CHANCE POP FROM MID EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. WILL MENTION
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND FRIDAY)...

A WEAK WAVE MOVING UP THE OHIO VALLEY ALONG WITH A
NORTHEASTWARD-MOVING MCV OVER WESTERN TENNESSEE THAT ORIGINATED WITH
MORNING CONVECTION IN TEXAS MAY SPARK A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING...AND INDEED A FEW CELLS HAVE
POPPED UP AHEAD OF THE MCV IN WESTERN KENTUCKY AS OF 19Z. WILL KEEP
PRECIPITATION CHANCES LOW THIS EVENING DUE TO THE EXPECTED SCATTERED
NATURE OF THE CONVECTION. ANY ACTIVITY THAT DOES GET GOING SHOULD
BEGIN TO STRUGGLE AND WEAKEN BY MID EVENING...WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES OVERNIGHT. LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID 60S.

ON FRIDAY AN UPPER LOW WILL MOVE FROM KANSAS TO MISSOURI WHILE ITS
SURFACE TROF ADVANCES TO THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY. THOUGH WE
COULD SEE SOME SCATTERED STORMS IN THE MORNING...CHANCES WILL
INCREASE IN THE AFTERNOON WITH BETTER INSTABILITY AND THE APPROACH
OF THE TROF FROM THE WEST. WITH ADDED CLOUDS AND SHOWERS PLUS THE
UPPER TROF HIGH TEMPS SHOULD BE COOLER...AROUND 80 DEGREES.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY)...

AN UNUSUALLY EXTENDED COOL PERIOD FOR MID MAY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
SUNDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. FOR MID MAY OUR
AVERAGE HIGHS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AVERAGED AROUND 75.
HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES FOR EACH OF THESE FOUR DAYS MENTIONED ABOVE
WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 60S...POSSIBLY THE LOWER 60S FOR A COUPLE
OF THESE DAYS IF LOW CLOUDINESS OR AFTERNOON SHOWERS HOLD SWAY.

THE CULPRIT WILL BE AN UNSEASONABLY DEEP TROUGH THAT IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP SUNDAY AND MONDAY FROM THE GREAT LAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE
GULF COAST.

A NEARLY CLOSED 500MB LOW NOW OVER KANSAS WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST AND
IS FORECAST TO LIE RIGHT OVER THE COMMONWEALTH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
AHEAD OF THIS CIRCULATION...WEAKLY DIVERGENT UPPER AIR FLOW AND
500MB HEIGHT FALLS WILL BRING AN INCREASING LIKELIHOOD OF SCATTERED
CONVECTION FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. FINDING A SPECIFIC IMPULSE OR
TRIGGER FOR ANY CONVECTION WILL BE A CHALLENGE...AND FOR NOW...WILL
INCREASE POPS TO LIKELY FOR THE WHOLE PERIOD OF FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY. THESE STORMS WILL NOT BE STRONG...AND MAY BE EPISODIC IN
NATURE...WITH PRECIPITATION AVERAGING PERHAPS AROUND ONE HALF INCH
TO LOCALLY OVER ONE INCH DURING THE TIME PERIOD.

BY LATE SATURDAY...LOW PRESSURE WILL LIE ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY.
WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWESTERLY. VERY COOL AIR ASSOCIATED WITH
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL THEN BEGIN TO
FILTER SOUTHWARD BEHIND THIS LOW INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS BY LATE IN THE DAY.

FOR THE PERIOD OF SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...ADDITIONAL ENERGY DIVING
SOUTH ACROSS THE MIDWEST WILL HELP DEVELOP A VERY DEEP TROUGH OVER
OUR REGION BY TUESDAY. IN FACT...FORECAST 500MB HEIGHTS OVER THE
GULF STATES ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 4 TO 5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS
BELOW THE SEASONAL MEAN!

EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES SUNDAY AND MONDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE
AFTERNOON. ANY CLEARING THAT MAY DEVELOP TOWARDS MORNING WILL
PROBABLY CLOUD OVER PRETTY QUICKLY DURING THE AFTERNOON DUE TO COOL
MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS ADVERTISE A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS BOTH SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.

LOW TEMPERATURES WILL TEND TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50
FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNINGS.

THE PREFERRED ECMWF SHOWS THIS DEEP EASTERN TROUGH CUTTING OFF AND
BECOMING NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. DRIER AIR FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL TEND
TO OVERSPREAD THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL LIKELY BRING DRY
WEATHER WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH VARIABLE CLOUDINESS. HIGHS
SHOULD STILL REMAIN IN THE 60S.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

SHORTWAVES ROTATING AROUND A COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS WILL COMBINE WITH AMPLE MOISTURE TO BRING SCATTERED
STORMS THIS TAF PERIOD. WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...CURRENT LING
MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY SHOULD WEAKEN. THUS ONLY HAVE VCTS
FOR THE VARIOUS SITES FOR 1-2 HOURS EARLY ON...WITH NO ONE SITE
HAVING A BETTER CHANCE FOR VSBY OR CIG RESTRICTIONS.

GIVEN COOLING EFFECT OF LIGHT RAIN...LIKELY AGAIN WILL SEE SOME
LIGHT VSBY REDUCTIONS AROUND DAYBREAK FRIDAY. THESE SHOULD DISSIPATE
QUICK AS SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW PICKS UP EARLY ON. SHOULD SEE ANOTHER
ROUND OF STORMS DEVELOP BY OR JUST AFTER NOON FROM WEST TO EAST
FRIDAY. TOO EARLY FOR SPECIFICS IN THIS ROUND OF TAFS...SO AGAIN
HAVE GONE WITH VICINITY STORMS FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON.
