Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 2:32 PM CDT, 3 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
332 PM EDT SUN JUN 19 2011

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...

THE CWA IS WORKED OVER FROM THE MORNING MCS...AND REMNANT BOUNDARY
ASSOCIATED WITH IT IS DRAPED ACROSS FAR SRN KY AT THE MOMENT. STRONG
UPPER LEVEL WINDS...THE BOUNDARY...AND GOOD INSTABILITY HAVE LED SPC
TO ISSUE A TORNADO WATCH FOR OUR FAR SRN TIER OF KY COUNTIES. THIS
WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 00Z...HOWEVER THINK THE BEST CONVERGENCE
AND INSTABILITY IS SOUTH OF OUR CWA SO WE MAY CANCEL THE WATCH BY
THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.

THINK THE MAIN BOUNDARY WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED WITH EXTENDS FROM
CENTRAL MO SEWD TO TN. THIS SHOULD LIFT NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT
PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ON THE NOSE OF THE
LOW-LEVEL JET THIS EVENING. TWO DIFFERENT SCENARIOS WILL
OCCUR...EITHER SCATTERED STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY ON
THE LLJ NOSE...OR AN MCS MAY ORGANIZE OVER THE MID-MS VALLEY REGION
AND MOVE OUR DIRECTION. THE NMM-WRF AND ARW-WRF SEEM TO HAVE AN OKAY
HANDLE ON THIS SCENARIO SO WILL FOLLOW FOR THE SHORT-TERM. THESE
MODEL SOLUTIONS MEAN ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA THIS AFTERNOON AT
BEST...WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG AND NORTH OF
THE NORTHWARD MOVING BOUNDARY AFTER 00Z...BEST CHANCE BETWEEN
06-12Z. THESE STORMS OVERNIGHT COULD BE STRONG...WITH HAIL BEING
THE MAIN THREAT NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...AND POSSIBLY DAMAGING WINDS
WITH ANY STORMS ALONG THE BOUNDARY. IF AN MCS FORMS AND COLD POOL
TAKES OVER...THEN A SIMILAR SITUATION WILL OCCUR TOMORROW MORNING AS
DID THIS MORNING WITH DMG WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT. NOT CONFIDENT
ON RESULTANT CONVECTIVE MODE...BUT CONFIDENT STORMS WILL DEVELOP
ALONG THE BOUNDARY OVERNIGHT INTO TOMORROW.

THIS BOUNDARY APPEARS TO BECOME THE WARM FRONT OF A DEVELOPING SFC
LOW OVER THE PLAINS. THIS WARM FRONT SHOULD LIFT NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT
AND INTO MONDAY...SO THE THREAT FOR CONVECTION WILL MOVE NORTH
TOMORROW AS WELL. THINK THAT BETWEEN 06-12Z TONIGHT...OUR SRN/SWRN
CWA MAY BE PRECIP FREE...AND THE FOCUS WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL KY
NORTHWARD. FOR MONDAY...THE BEST CHC FOR STORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE
NRN BLUEGRASS...N-CENTRAL KY AND SRN INDIANA. WITH THIS ONGOING
MORNING PRECIP EXPECTED...WILL INCREASE CLOUD COVER THERE AND LOWER
HIGH TEMPS OVER THE NORTH...MORE LIKE THE LOW-MID 80S. THINK OUR
SOUTH WILL TAP INTO VERY WARM AIR...PERHAPS AS HIGH AS THE LOW 90S
THERE. IN ADDITION...SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY WE WILL SEE GUSTY SW
WINDS.

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

MONDAY NIGHT - THURSDAY...

MONDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY WITH BRIEF RIDGING IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE
NEXT SYSTEM.  TUESDAY WE/LL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR OF A VERTICALLY
STACK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE UPPER PLAINS STATES.  SUSPECT
WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S AND CONVECTIVE TEMPS IN THE LOW
90S...WE MAY SEE SOME T-STORMS POP UP DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS TUES DUE TO DIURNAL HEATING.  ALSO...A
SHORT/WV SHOOTING OUT AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM WOULDN/T BE ENTIRELY
IMPOSSIBLE TO HELP SET THINGS OFF.

HOWEVER...WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE BEST DAY FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS AS THE LOW PRESSURE/S COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION.  WITH
PLENTY OF SPEED SHEAR IN PLACE THROUGHOUT THE COLUMN...ORGANIZED
STORMS SEEM LIKELY.  MODEL SOUNDINGS LOOK FAVORABLE FOR HAIL AND
DAMAGING WIND THREATS.  HOWEVER...SFC INSTABILITY MAY BE LIMITED BY
CLOUDS FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION.  WE/LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW
THAT ONE PLAYS OUT...BUT THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS ON WED.

THURSDAY WE/LL CONTINUE TO HAVE A CHANCE FOR STORMS...BUT STRENGTH
AND TIMING WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAST THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE
AREA.  THE LATEST 12Z GFS HAS A SLOWER SOLN WHICH MAY LEAD TO BETTER
STORM COVERAGE THURS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER THE MORE PROGRESSIVE 12Z
ECMWF MOVES THE FRONT THROUGH QUICKER AND CONVECTION MAY BE LIMITED
TO EAST CENTRAL KY.

AS FOR TEMPS FOR WED/THURS...WE/LL SEE A COOL DOWN WITH CONVECTION
AND THE FRONT.  HIGHS WED WILL BE IN THE MID 80S.  HIGHS THURS WILL
BE IN THE LOW TO MID 80S.

FRIDAY - SUNDAY...

THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE WEEKEND FORECAST AS MODELS HAVE BEEN
INCONSISTENT ON WHERE THE NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETS UP.  BY THE
LATEST EURO...THAT BOUNDARY LOOKS TO SET UP VERY CLOSE TO OUR REGION
BRINGING MULTIPLE MCS/S THROUGH THE AREA.  HOWEVER...THE LATEST GFS
DEVELOPS AND KEEPS THE BOUNDARY TO OUR SW BRINGING A MOSTLY DRY
WEEKEND FOR US.  WE/LL NEED TO NARROW THAT DOWN IN COMING DAYS.
MADE ONLY SMALL CHANGES TO THE FRI-SUN PERIOD FOR THIS FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

A WEAK SFC LOW OVER SWRN INDIANA AND A CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY FROM MO
TO KY WILL STILL CREATE A CHANCE FOR SHRA/TSRA THIS AFTERNOON. TSRA
WILL HAVE A BETTER CHC AT BWG...WITH SHRA AT SDF AND LEX. SKIES WILL
GENERALLY BE VFR THOUGH MVFR CIGS WILL BE BRIEFLY SEEN AT AREA
TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY AT SDF AND LEX. SFC WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON COULD BE GUSTY AT TIMES...WITH A SE TO SW DIRECTION.

SKIES SHOULD SCATTER OUT SOME THIS EVENING WITH ANOTHER MCS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP TONIGHT OVER THE PLAINS AND MOVE EAST TOWARD OUR AREA
TOWARDS THE 12Z TIME FRAME. THE LOCATION OF THIS WILL DEPEND ON THE
SFC BOUNDARY...BUT A BETTER CHANCE FOR OVERNIGHT TO EARLY MONDAY
MORNING CONVECTION RESIDES AT SDF AND LEX. WILL LIKELY JUST PUT CB
OR VCTS IN THOSE TAFS FOR NOW. WHEREVER THE CONVECTION IS
TOMORROW...CIGS/VSBYS COULD DROP TO MVFR/IFR. SOUTH OF THE
CONVECTION SFC WINDS WILL BE GUSTING OUT OF THE SW.
