AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
137 AM EDT THU MAY 26 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...

HAVE GONE AHEAD AND CUT ANOTHER COUPLE OF ROWS OF COUNTIES OUT OF
THE WATCH.  GENERALLY EVERYTHING WEST OF INTERSTATE 65 IS OUT OF THE
WATCH.  THOUGH WE HAVE NOT CLEARED HARDIN AND BULLITT JUST YET AS
STRONG STORMS ARE STILL MOVING THROUGH THAT REGION.

STRONG LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO MARCH EASTWARD ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING.  OVERALL THE LINE HAS SLOWED A BIT AS
THE GUST FRONT HAS RUN OUT AHEAD ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHEAST
SECTIONS.  IN THE TRAILING STRATIFORM...A VIVID LIGHTNING SHOW IS
TAKING PLACE.  HEAVY CONVECTION CONTINUES FROM FRANKFORT SOUTH
THROUGH BARDSTOWN.  THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE EAST AND IMPACT THE
LEXINGTON METRO AREA SHORTLY.  THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IN THERE BY
NOW...BUT WITH THE SLOWING OF THE LINE...MY TIMING IS A BIT OFF.
NONETHELESS...TORRENTIAL RAINS...WIND GUSTS OF 45-50 MPH AND A VIVID
LIGHTNING SHOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BLUEGRASS REGION IN THE NEXT
FEW HOURS.

FURTHER SOUTH...FROM LARUE COUNTY SOUTH TOWARD THE KY
BORDER IS WHERE WE STILL HAVE OUR LINE OF STRONGEST AND SEVERE
STORMS.  THIS HAS CERTAINLY EVOLVED INTO A WIND DAMAGE THREAT AT
THIS TIME...BUT STILL CAN NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ESPECIALLY DOWN STATE.

BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIPITATION IS ABOUT 40 MILES WEST OF
LOUISVILLE.  HOWEVER...THE LOW-LEVEL JET IS IS STILL TRYING TO KICK
UP SOME MORE CONVECTION OVER TOWARD OWENSBORO. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON
IT...BUT FEEL THAT THE ATMOSPHERE IS PRETTY WORKED OVER IN THAT AREA.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)...

...POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE SQUALL LINE TO AFFECT THE AREA
TONIGHT...

STRONG LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN KANSAS WILL PUSH TOWARDS CENTRAL
INDIANA TONIGHT...BRINGING AN INCREASING CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION THIS EVENING AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY COME IN TWO WAVES.

FIRST WAVE: A CONVERGENCE ZONE BASICALLY LOCATED JUST TO OUR NW/W
NEAR THE IL/IN/KY TRI-BORDER WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR STRONG TO
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS FROM NOW THROUGH ROUGHLY 7PM EDT. THESE
STORMS THOUGH WILL GENERALLY STAY JUST WEST OF OUR CWA...THOUGH A
FEW COUNTIES SUCH AS DUBOIS/ORANGE/PERRY OR OTHER CLOSE LOCATIONS
COULD BE IMPACTED BY THIS ACTIVITY. THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS
UNIDIRECTIONAL BUT STRONG...SO A FEW SUPERCELLS WITH GENERALLY LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE...THOUGH AN ISOLATED
TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT EITHER. AGAIN...THIS ACTIVITY WILL
GENERALLY AFFECT THE IND CWA...BUT COULD SKIRT OUR NWRN CWA THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

SECOND WAVE: TONIGHT WILL BE THE MAIN SHOW AS A PRE-FRONTAL BOUNDARY
GENERATES SHOWERS/STORMS MOST LIKELY ACROSS NERN ARKANSAS AND SERN
MISSOURI. A LITTLE WARMING ALOFT HAS THIS AREA QUIET FOR NOW...BUT
CONVECTION SHOULD INITIATE NEAR THE MO/AR BORDER BY ROUGHLY 5PM EDT
AND LIKELY IN THE FORM OF DISCRETE SUPERCELLS. THESE POTENTIAL
STORMS HAVE PROMPTED A HIGH RISK FROM SPC...WHICH ACTUALLY CREEPS
INTO OUR WRN CWA. THESE SUPERCELLS WELL TO OUR WEST WILL HAVE A GOOD
CHANCE AT PRODUCING LONG TRACKED AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY TORNADOES
GIVEN THE LARGE INSTABILITY AND THE DEEP LAYER SPEED/DIRECTIONAL
SHEAR IN PLACE TONIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW THAT SFC WINDS ACTUALLY
BACK THIS EVENING...INCREASING THE LOW-LEVEL HELICITIES AND BULK
SHEAR. AS THE SUPERCELLS TRACK EAST-NORTHEAST...THEY SHOULD SOMEWHAT
MORPH INTO A SQUALL LINE TONIGHT AND BY THE TIME CONVECTION REACHES
OUR WRN CWA...IT SHOULD BE A MIXED LINE OF BOWING SEGMENTS AND
DISCRETE CELLS. THUS AREAS OVER OUR FAR WRN CWA WILL HAVE THE BEST
CHANCE AT SEEING TORNADIC STORMS MAINLY BETWEEN 7-10PM EDT. AS THIS
LINE PUSHES EAST IT WILL BECOME MORE OF A SQUALL LINE AND LESS
DISCRETE CELLS. THUS THE THREAT WILL SWITCH FROM A SUPERCELL
(TORNADOES/HAIL) MODE TO A SQUALL LINE (DAMAGING WINDS/ISOLATED
TORNADOES) MODE CLOSER TO I-65. THIS LINE SHOULD REACH AN SDF TO BWG
LINE ROUGHLY BY THE 9-11PM EDT TIME FRAME. AREAS EAST OF I-65 WILL
GENERALLY BE UNDER THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT FROM THE SQUALL LINE
FROM 11PM-MIDNIGHT AND LATER AS IT TRACKS EAST INTO THE BLUEGRASS.

CURRENTLY...A PDS TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE REGION
UNTIL 10 PM EDT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL THE INGREDIENTS ARE IN
PLACE FOR A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY OVER OUR FAR WRN CWA. LOOKING FOR
ANY KIND OF BUST POTENTIAL...BUT DO NOT REALLY SEE ONE.

FOR TOMORROW...THE MAIN SQ LINE COULD BE ONGOING OVER FAR ERN CWA IN
THE MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER THIS IS THE PRE-FRONTAL ACTIVITY...AND
THE LOW PRESSURE/S COLD FRONT WILL STILL PUSH THROUGH OUR CWA
TOMORROW AFTERNOON-EVENING. SO THERE WILL STILL EXIST A THREAT FOR
AFTERNOON SEVERE WEATHER ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND MAINLY EAST OF
I-65 THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

CONCERNING TEMPS...TONIGHT WILL BE MILD WITH LOWS IN THE 60S TO LOW
70S. RAINFALL/CLOUDS WILL GREATLY AFFECT TEMPS TOMORROW...SO THINK
WILL GO MODESTLY WITH THURSDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE 70S.

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

MOST OF THE ATTENTION TODAY HAS BEEN SPENT ON THE SHORT TERM SO THIS
DISCUSSION WILL BE NECESSARILY SHORT.

ONCE THE THURSDAY STORM SYSTEM MOVES OFF TO THE EAST THURSDAY
EVENING THE WEATHER WILL BE MUCH QUIETER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL QUICKLY BUILD OVER THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES SATURDAY AND REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH MID
WEEK NEXT WEEK. WE COULD SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY
NIGHT/SATURDAY AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE SLIDES BY TO OUR NORTH...AND A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE
WEAKENS A BIT. OTHERWISE HOWEVER THIS PATTERN WILL RESULT IN MOSTLY
HOT AND DRY WEATHER.

AFTER A COOL POST-FRONTAL DAY ON FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 70S...90S WILL ENVELOP THE REGION SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

CONDITIONS AT KSDF AND KBWG WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS AS CONVECTION MOVES OFF TO THE EAST.  EXPECT CONVECTION TO END
AT KBWG AND KSDF BY 26/08Z.  HOWEVER...MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT
CIGS WILL LIKELY LOWER TO MVFR LEVELS BY 26/12Z.  THESE LOW CLOUDS
SHOULD LIFT DURING THE MORNING WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP AROUND KSDF/KBWG BY 26/16Z.

OVER AT KLEX...GUST FRONT HAS ALREADY MOVED THROUGH THE TERMINAL.
HEAVY CONVECTION IS STILL WEST OF THE TERMINAL AND SHOULD BE
ENTERING IT BY 26/06Z.  EXPECT A TEMPORARY DROP TO IFR VSBYS DUE TO
THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN BETWEEN 26/06-08Z.  CONVECTION SHOULD
SUBSIDE AT KLEX BY 26/09Z.  HOWEVER...MORE REDEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED
BY THU AFTERNOON AS BOTH THE UPPER AND SFC LOW MOVE TOWARD THE
REGION.  WILL TRY TO FURTHER REFINE THE TAFS A BIT MORE FOR THE LATE
THU MORNING/AFTERNOON WITH THE 26/12Z TAF ISSUANCE.
