AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
310 PM EDT WED JUN 15 2011

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)...

CURRENTLY...A SFC LOW SPINNING OVER WISCONSIN IS EXTENDING ITS WARM
FRONT SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS IL AND INTO WRN KY...WHERE TEMPS
EAST OF THIS ARE IN THE 60S AND LOW 70S...AND TEMPS WEST ARE IN THE
80S AND EVEN LOW 90S WITH LIFTED INDICES IN THE -3 TO -7 DEGREE
CELSIUS RANGE. THE SYSTEM/S COLD FRONT EXTENDS SOUTHWESTWARD THRU IL
AND INTO SERN MISSOURI. STORMS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG THE COLD FRONT
IN CENTRAL IL...AS WELL AS ALONG A MOISTURE BOUNDARY NEAR THE TN/KY
BORDER. THINK THE COMPLEX TO THE SOUTH WILL HOG MOST OF THE DEEPER
MOISTURE BUT SCATTERED CONVECTION IS STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
WITHIN THE SMALL WARM SECTOR AND ALONG THE COLD FRONT TO OUR WEST.
SINCE MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED...WILL
STICK WITH CHC POPS THE REST OF THE DAY WITH THE HIGHEST SOUTH. ANY
STORM THAT DOES MAKE IT INTO OUR CWA IN THE WARM SECTOR COULD BE
STRONG TO SEVERE...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN
THREATS.

THE 12Z NMM-WRF SEEMS TO HAVE AN OKAY HANDLE ON THE CURRENT
SITUATION...AS WELL AS THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WILL FOLLOW THIS MODEL
MOSTLY...WHICH ENDS POPS SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. TAPERED POPS QUICKLY
FROM WEST TO EAST BY MIDNIGHT...LEAVING SLIGHT CHC POPS OVER THE
EASTERN CWA AFTER 06Z. OVERNIGHT...WINDS SHOULD WEAKEN ENOUGH OVER
THE SOUTH WITH CLEARING SKIES THAT SOME FOG COULD FORM NEAR SUNRISE
THURSDAY. FOR NOW IN THE GRIDS...WILL KEEP FOG MENTIONED IN THE
RIVER VALLEYS/TYPICAL FOG-PRONE AREAS. LOWS SHOULD DIP INTO THE 60S.

TOMORROW...A WARM NORTHWEST FLOW WILL DOMINATE...WITH AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE DIVING SE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. WE SHOULD WARM UP
NICELY INTO THE 80S/NEAR 90 DEGREES OVER THE SW AHEAD OF THIS
FEATURE...WITH SKIES REMAINING MOSTLY SUNNY.

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

THURSDAY NIGHT - SUNDAY NIGHT...

AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL TAKE SHAPE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BE LOCATED ON THE PERIPHERY OF SOUTHERN CONUS
RIDGE...WHICH WILL PROVIDE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH A SLOW
NORTHEASTWARD MOVING WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY AT THE SURFACE
PARALLELING THE FLOW ALOFT. THE LATEST PROBABILISTIC AND
DETERMINISTIC MODELS INDICATE THE WARM FRONT WILL STRETCH ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. GIVEN THIS POSITION...AND THE
SLOW MOVEMENT OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY...EXPECT A CHANCE OF
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEKEND.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL GREATLY DIMINISH BY SUNDAY NIGHT.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S FRIDAY. THE
MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST AREA APPEARS TO BE ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL MEAN
TEMPERATURES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE 90 SATURDAY. EXPECT TEMPERATURES
TO BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES
A LITTLE FURTHER NORTHEAST. HIGHS WILL GENERALLY RANGE IN THE LOW TO
MID 90S. OVERNIGHT LOWS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S ARE
ANTICIPATED.

MONDAY - WEDNESDAY...

THE WARM FRONT WILL NOW BE NORTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA AND HIGH
PRESSURE ALOFT WILL STRENGTHENING ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS.
EXPECT SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS...DRY CONDITIONS AND HOT TEMPERATURES
THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 90S WILL BE
COMMON...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S. BY LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT...AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW PROGRESSING
EASTWARD THROUGH THE MID/UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL APPROACH THE
OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY...WITH TEMPERATURES RUNNING A FEW
DEGREES COOLER THAN TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

WARM FRONT PRECIP HAS PUSHED THROUGH THE SDF TERMINAL AND IS ALMOST
THROUGH LEX AT THE MOMENT. SHRA/TSRA ARE CREEPING CLOSE TO SDF AND
BWG...BUT THINK WILL JUST HAVE VCTS AND CB MENTIONED FROM NOW TIL
1830/1900Z AT BOTH OF THE TERMINALS. MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD
DEVELOP ALONG AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...THE MAIN FOCUS SHOULD BE AROUND BWG OR FURTHER SOUTH INTO
TN. WILL LIKELY KEEP SDF AND LEX DRY AND MAY CARRY A VCTS/CB MENTION
IN AT BWG...AND CAN AMEND IF ANYTHING POPS UP ALONG THE FRONT FOR
LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THE MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AT LEX SHOULD IMPROVE TO
VFR SHORTLY...AND WILL KEEP ALL TERMINALS IN VFR THEREAFTER. THE
ONLY EXCEPTION WOULD BE TO INSERT MVFR VSBYS INTO THE TAFS TOWARDS
12Z THURSDAY.

WINDS AT SDF AND LEX SHOULD GENERALLY BE ERLY OR SERLY UNTIL THE
WARM FRONT PUSHES THROUGH IF IT DOES. WINDS AT BWG WILL REMAIN OUT
OF THE S OR SW. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...WINDS WILL SHIFT AROUND TO
THE W-NW AND WILL REMAIN LIKE THAT THROUGH THURSDAY.
