AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
727 PM EDT TUE JUL 19 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY)...

IT/S HOT OUT THERE...BUT NOT QUITE AS HOT AS THIS TIME LAST WEEK.
STRONG RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES IS EDGING CLOSER TO OUR
REGION EACH DAY. THIS RIDGE HAS HAD SOME EFFECT AT CAPPING STORMS
OVER THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE AREA SO FAR. STILL THINK AREA
WILL SEE SOME SCATTERED STORMS THIS AFTERNOON WITH OUTFLOW AND
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE REGION AS WELL AS WITH AN
ATMOSPHERE WITH 3000-4000 CAPES AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS AROUND 2
INCHES.

EXPECT STORMS TO DIE OFF IN THE MID TO LATE EVENING TIME FRAME WITH
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THAT SHOULD END THE MORE SIGNIFICANT
CHANCES FOR RAIN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...AS WE LOOK TO STAY
AWAY FROM ANY MORE BOUNDARIES DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NORTH
OVERNIGHT. ANY STORMS THAT POP UP TOMORROW SHOULD BE ISOLATED
AIRMASS TYPE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON.

AS FOR THE HEAT...WILL KEEP TODAY/S HEAT ADVISORY AS IS...EXPIRING
AT 01Z TONIGHT. THEN WILL UPGRADE THE CURRENT WATCH AREA TO AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING AND EXPAND THE WARNING AREA A ROW OF COUNTIES
EASTWARD. HEAT INDEX FORECASTS FOR THE NEW WARNING AREA HAVE 4
CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF AT LEAST HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA...AND PERHAPS
SOME INDIVIDUAL DAYS REACHING 110 AS WELL...WITH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
AS THE HOTTEST DAYS. WILL ADD A ROW OR TWO OF COUNTIES EAST OF THE
WARNING AREA TO A LONG-TERM HEAT ADVISORY...THIS TIME FOR 4
CONSECTIVE DAYS OF NEAR ADVISORY CRITERIA...AGAIN WITH SOME DAYS
REACHING 105 DEGREES. HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP OUT THE FAR EASTERN
COUNTIES FROM A HEADLINE FOR NOW...AS ONLY HAVE PEAK HEAT INDICES
AROUND 100 DEGREES FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THEY LIKELY WILL NEED A
HEAT ADVISORY ON THURSDAY...BUT IT/S TOO EARLY TO PUT THAT HEADLINE
UP FOR NOW. HAVE COORDINATED WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES...AND
HEADLINES LOOK GOOD.

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

THURSDAY-FRIDAY...

GENERAL MODEL CONSENSUS HAS A STRONG RIDGE SETTING UP OVER THE
FORECAST AREA BY THURSDAY WITH THE GFS SHOWING THE CENTER OF HIGH
PRESSURE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL BE
PUMPING IN ANOTHER HOT AND MOIST AIRMASS WITH DEWPOINTS LOOKING TO
FLIRT WITH CLOSE TO 80 DEGREES AGAIN. FOR MAX TEMPS ON THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY... WENT WITH A MOS GUIDANCE BLEND WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER TEMPS
BUT LESS THAN MEX WAS SHOWING...GENERALLY MID TO UPPER 90S ALL
AROUND. EVEN THOUGH THE RIDGE WILL BE SUCH A DOMINANT FEATURE
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WENT WITH MINIMAL POPS BOTH AFTERNOON
PERIODS AS MODELS TRENDED WITH A DIURNAL PRECIP CYCLE. WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG CAP BOTH DAYS...WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SEE MUCH
CONVECTION BUT CANNOT RULE OUT MENTIONABLE POPS COMPLETELY. AS THESE
DAYS APPROACH...WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR CONVECTIVE TEMPS
AND ANY TRIGGERING MECHANISMS THAT MAY GENERATE PULSE STORMS...IF
THE STRONG CAP CAN BE BROKEN.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY OVERNIGHT...

THE RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN AND BEGIN TO FLATTEN OUT ON SATURDAY
WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR JUST A BIT HIGHER CHANCE FOR POPS ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY...TEMPS DO NOT LOOK TO GET AS HIGH ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN PLACES WHERE PRECIP IS ABLE TO
KICK UP. IT WILL STILL BE HOT AND MOIST ON BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
BUT WILL CERTAINLY BE ON A DOWNWARD TREND. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
GRAZING THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
LOOKS TO DROP A FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO THE OH VALLEY REGION. A
SHORTWAVE IS DEPICTED TO SKIM ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA ASSISTING IN
THE CHANCE FOR SCT STORMS TO GENERATE SUNDAY NIGHT AS WINDS BEGIN TO
TAKE ON A MORE WESTERLY COMPONENT.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...

LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE AND ENSEMBLES SUGGEST A SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE
INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY ON MONDAY RESULTING IN HEIGHT
FALLS ALOFT AND A TEMPORARY SUPPRESSION OF THE UPPER RIDGE. AT THE
SURFACE...AN ACCOMPANYING FRONTAL ZONE WILL DROP SE INTO THE OH
VALLEY INTO THE WARM HUMID AIR MASS. THIS SHOULD SPARK SCT TO
PERHAPS NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
FRONT (ASSUMING MODEL SOLUTIONS HOLD). AFTER THE FRONT PASSES...LESS
HUMID AND A LITTLE COOLER AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY
FOR AT LEAST A TEMPORARY BREAK FROM THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY MID PART
OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

VFR CONDS EXPECTED THRU MOST OF THE PERIOD.

RIDGE CENTER ACRS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL NUDGE EASTWARD
THRU THE PERIOD WHILE A FRONT REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY FROM CENTRAL
INDIANA INTO CENTRAL OH. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER NRN/ERN PARTS
OF OUR REGION INCLUDING THE LEX AND SDF VCNTYS WILL BEGIN TO WANE
EARLY IN THE PERIOD...SO WILL KEEP A VCNTY REMARK AT THOSE SITES
THRU 04Z. AFTERWARD MVFR VSBY IN LIGHT FOG EXPECTED AT LEX AND BWG
AFTER MIDNIGHT.

AS UPR LEVEL RIDGE GETS CLOSER...THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MORE ISOLATED
AND CONFINED MAINLY TO THE AFTERNOON ON WED.
