AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1239 PM EDT WED MAR 23 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

TODAY...

...SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

A SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA WILL SCOOT EAST
SOUTHEAST THROUGH IL/IN/OH THROUGH THIS EVENING. SOUTHERN INDIANA
AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY WILL BE SOLIDLY IN THE WARM SECTOR OF THIS LOW
ALL DAY WITH STEADY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ADVECTING MID 50S TD/S INTO
THE REGION BY THIS AFTERNOON. VERY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL
OVERSPREAD UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LAYER THIS AFTERNOON COMBINED WITH
120-140 KNOT UPPER LEVEL JET NOSING INTO THE REGION. COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A MIDWEST VERSION OF
A DRYLINE ACROSS OUR WESTERN CWA BORDER. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN INDIANA
AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY...WITH AREAS EAST OF THE I-65 CORRIDOR SEEING
THE BEST COVERAGE AND STRONGEST STORMS. ALTHOUGH THERE WILL NOT BE
MUCH OF A DIRECTIONAL SHEAR COMPONENT...SPEED SHEAR WILL BE QUITE
IMPRESSIVE...FAVORABLE ENOUGH FOR SPLITTING UPDRAFTS AND SUPERCELLS.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE VERY FAVORABLE FOR LARGE HAIL AS VERY STEEP
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES COMBINE WITH VERY LOW WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS
AROUND 7 K FEET. ADD A ROTATING UPDRAFT TO THE MIX AND LARGE TO VERY
LARGE HAIL SEEMS POSSIBLE WITH THE MOST ORGANIZED STORMS. ALSO OF
CONCERN...SOUNDINGS OFFER A DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH DRY MID AND
LOWER LEVELS COMBINED WITH STORM MOTION AROUND 40 TO 45 KNOTS. THE
STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A MODERATE RISK FOR PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL AND EASTERN KENTUCKY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE UNUSUALLY LARGE HAIL
THREAT...COMBINED WITH THE DAMAGING WIND THREAT. A SLIGHT RISK
EXTENDS FURTHER WEST...ENCOMPASSING ALL OF OUR CWA. AN ISOLATED
TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT...HOWEVER MORE BACKED SURFACE
WINDS WOULD BE NEEDED FOR A GREATER TORNADO THREAT.

...TIMING AND LOCATION...

TIMING AND LOCATION OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS STILL A BIT
TRICKY AS ENVIRONMENT LOOKS TO STAY CAPPED THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON.
LOADED GUN APPEARANCE TO SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT ONCE ORGANIZED
CONVECTION IS ABLE TO FIRE CAP IS ERODED...IT WILL GO QUICKLY. IN
THE MEANTIME...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ELEVATED CONVECTION SHOULD BE
ONGOING THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. LOOK FOR
STRONGER STORMS TO DEVELOP AFTER 2 PM EDT ALONG A LINE FROM
FRANKFORT SOUTHWESTWARD TO BOWLING GREEN...MOVING QUICKLY EAST
SOUTHEAST BY LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS SOLUTION IS SUGGESTED
BY THE LOCAL WRF AT OUR OFFICE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE 00Z SPC
WRF.

THE OVERALL LACK OF MOISTURE COMBINED WITH SOME OF THE HIGH RES
MODEL OUTPUT SUGGESTS THAT MORE DISCRETE CELLS WILL INITIALLY FORM
WITH BETTER COVERAGE DEVELOPING EAST OF THE I 75 CORRIDOR IN THE
EVENING. THIS WOULD ONLY WARRANT SCATTERED POPS ACROSS OUR EASTERN
CWA. HOWEVER GIVEN THE THREAT FOR MAGNITUDE OF HAIL AND WIND...HAVE
POPS IN THE LIKELY RANGE TO INCREASE AWARENESS AS IMPACT COULD BE
HIGH. THIS ALSO MATCHES WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S TODAY AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT...WITH STEADY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS BETWEEN 15 AND 20
MPH...GUSTING TO AROUND 30 MPH AT TIMES.

TONIGHT...

STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BE QUICKLY MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH THE REGION
EARLY TONIGHT WITH MUCH COLDER AIRMASS QUICKLY LURKING BEHIND.
EXPECT STEADY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS TO QUICKLY ADVECT MID 30S
TEMPERATURES INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA BY THURSDAY MORNING...WITH LOWER
40S EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY. ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LOOKS TO REMAIN FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SPRINKLES OR RAIN SHOWERS
MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I 64 CORRIDOR.

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY - TUESDAY)...

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...

WILL FOLLOW THE PREVIOUS FORECASTER AND CONTINUE WITH THE
BELOW-GUIDANCE FORECAST FOR TEMPERATURES TO FINISH OUT THE WORK
WEEK. WITH THE EXITING SYSTEM THURSDAY MORNING...WE MAY SEE A FEW
LINGERING SHOWERS OVER THE FAR ERN CWA/BLUEGRASS REGION OF KY. IT
WOULD BE A VERY LIGHT MIX OF RA/SN BUT MOST IF NOT ALL PRECIP WILL
BE EAST OF OUR AREA BY MID MORNING. A COLD NORTHWEST FLOW WILL
REPLACE THE WARM WEATHER WE HAVE HAD LATELY...AS CANADIAN HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES IN FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON THRU FRIDAY MORNING. WITH
LINGERING CLOUDS AND COLD AIR ADVECTION...WILL TREND TOWARD THE
COLDER MET GUIDANCE WITH THURSDAY HIGHS IN THE 40S EVERYWHERE EXCEPT
THE FAR SOUTHWEST MAY ACTUALLY REACH 50. FRIDAY MORNING TEMPS WILL
BE A CHILLY SHOCK...WITH TEMPS RADIATING OUT INTO THE UPPER 20S NE
TO THE LOW 30S SW. BRR. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW
SHELTERED AREAS SEE PATCHY FROST FORM. FRIDAY SHOULD BE A FEW
DEGREES WARMER THAN THURSDAY GIVEN THAT MOST OF THE DAY WILL BE
MOSTLY SUNNY BUT TEMPS WILL STILL STAY CLOSER TO COOLER MET
GUIDANCE. LOOK FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S NE TO THE
MID 50S S. THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE ORGANIZING OVER THE
SRN PLAINS...WITH ITS WARM FRONT PUSHING TOWARDS OUR AREA FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. CLOUDS WILL EVENTUALLY BE ON THE INCREASE...AND
OVERRUNNING LIGHT RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE FAR WRN/SWRN CWA
LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON...SPREADING EASTWARD FRIDAY NIGHT. FRIDAY
NIGHT LOWS SHOULD OCCUR EARLY...WITH TEMPS SLOWLY RISING TOWARD
MORNING AS THE WARM FRONT APPROACHES. IT WILL STILL BE QUITE COOL
WITH LOWS IN THE 30S MOST PLACES...EXCEPT THE SOUTH WHERE THE MID
40S COULD BE ATTAINED IF THE WARM FRONT IS CLOSE ENOUGH. IF
ISENTROPIC LIFT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO YIELD LIGHT RAIN OVER NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE CWA FRIDAY NIGHT...IT IS POSSIBLE THERE COULD BE A
LIGHT RASN MIX BEFORE CHANGING ALL OVER TO LIGHT RAIN. NOT QUITE
CONFIDENT IN THIS THOUGH SO WILL LEAVE OUT FOR NOW.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY...

THE WEEKEND WILL BE MARKED BY THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...AND TEMPS
WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE WARM FRONTAL LOCATION. THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM SHOULD TRANSLATE EASTWARD...MOVING ACROSS TN BY
SUNDAY...PLACING OUR FAR SRN AREA PERHAPS JUST SOUTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...AND ALL OTHER AREAS ON THE COOL SIDE. WILL TREND THE FAR SRN
1-2 TIERS OF COUNTIES WARMER THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND ALL OTHER AREAS
COOLER THAN GUIDANCE. GENERALLY HAVE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S MOST
PLACES...AND THE FAR SOUTH AROUND 60 FOR HIGHS BOTH DAYS. PRECIP IS
TRICKY TOO BUT THE SOUTHERN CWA SHOULD SEE THE BEST CHC OF PRECIP
CLOSER TO THE LOW TRACK. TRENDED POPS DOWN OVER THE NORTH SATURDAY
INTO SUNDAY...ENDING POPS FROM WEST TO EAST LATE SUNDAY EVENING.
COULD GET A FEW STORMS TO WORK INTO THE SRN HALF OF THE CWA EITHER
FROM STORMS ROOTED IN THE WARM SECTOR/BL...OR FROM ELEVATED
INSTABILITY NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. THINK THE GFS IS REALLY
OVERDOING THE QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM...AND THERE IS POTENTIAL THAT OUR
FAR NORTHERN CWA COULD SEE LITTLE TO EVEN NO PRECIP FROM THIS SYSTEM
IF IT CONTINUES TO TRACK FURTHER SOUTH. FOR NOW HAVE LOW CHC POPS N
TO HIGH CHC SOUTH THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

NO CHANGES MADE TO MONDAY-TUESDAY. PREV DISCUSSION BELOW.

FOR MONDAY-TUESDAY...BOTH THE 22/12Z GFS AND EURO SOLUTIONS CONTINUE
TO SHOW A DEEP 500HPA GYRE OFF THE SE CANADA COAST ON MONDAY.  BOTH
THE MODELS SHOW A RATHER DECENT LOOKING MID-LEVEL WAVE COMING OUT OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WHICH WILL INDUCE CYCLOGENESIS OVER EASTERN
TEXAS MONDAY AFTERNOON.  THIS LOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN
U.S. AND BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY.  THE COMPLICATING ISSUE HERE IS THAT THIS LOW
WILL BE MOVING ALONG THE EDGE OF THE POLAR FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND SOME
LOW-LEVEL COLD AIR WILL BE IN PLACE EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.  IT IS
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE BASED ON THE CURRENT 22/12Z GFS AND EURO RAW DATA
THAT WE COULD A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN/SNOW VERY LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY MORNING.  HOWEVER...AS WE MENTIONED ABOVE...THE 2M RAW TEMPS
HAVE GENERALLY BEEN TOO COLD OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS COMPARED TO THE
VERIFICATION.  FOR NOW...BASED ON THE CURRENT MODEL TRENDS...HAVE
LOWERED TEMPS A BIT TUESDAY MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO
FREEZING WITH A MIX OF RAIN/SNOW.  BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS WILL RECOVER
AND WARM ON TUESDAY RESULTING A CHANGE OVER TO RAIN AS TEMPS WARM
BACK UP INTO THE MID-UPPER 40S.  IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT A FURTHER
SOUTH SOLUTION COULD RESULT IN MORE WINTERY WEATHER.  THIS WILL BE
SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON OVER THE COMING WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

AT 16Z A SURFACE LOW WAS CENTERED JUST NORTH OF INDIANAPOLIS WITH A
COLD FRONT REACHING SOUTHWEST TO DALLAS. THE CU FIELD IS NOW WELL
ESTABLISHED AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO SPROUT THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH THE MOST COVERAGE DURING THE MIDDLE AND LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS. STORMS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH WITH THE SETTING OF
THE SUN THIS EVENING AND BE SWEPT OUT OF THE AREA COMPLETELY BY THE
COLD FRONT. LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO SURGE IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND
CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY MORNING...AND MAY BE ON THE HIGH END OF MFVR.

SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON WITH A FEW GUSTS TO
30KT POSSIBLE. THE FRONT WILL SWITCH WINDS AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST
THIS EVENING BUT AT LOWER SPEEDS IN THE 9 TO 14KT RANGE. WINDS WILL
VERY SLOWLY DECREASE THURSDAY AND WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST.
