AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1049 PM EDT THU AUG 18 2011

...FORECAST UPDATE...

CONVECTION IS WEAKENING AT THIS HOUR AS SHORTWAVE EVIDENT ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY IS MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS SHOULD LINGER EAST OF I 65 THROUGH ABOUT 2 AM EDT BEFORE WAVE
PUSHES EAST. WILL KEEP AREAS WEST OF I 65 DRY THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE OVERNIGHT AND AREAS EAST OF I 65 DRY AFTER 2 AM AS SUBSIDENT
ATMOSPHERE IN WAKE OF SHORTWAVE WILL RULE. LOW TEMPERATURES LOOK ON
TRACK...ON THEIR WAY TO THE UPPER 60S IN MOST LOCATIONS. SKIES
SHOULD REMAIN PARTLY CLOUDY FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE OVERNIGHT...
HOWEVER WILL KEEP AN EYE ON CONVECTIVE DEBRIS STREAMING IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST AFTER MIDNIGHT. WITH THE INCREASING SKY COVER AND SOME
LOCATIONS STAYING SOMEWHAT MIXED DUE TO SEVERAL REMNANT OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES...AM NOT CONFIDENT IN FOG FORECAST. POTENTIAL FOR PATCHES
OF MVFR FOG SEEM MOST LIKELY IN AREAS THAT SAW RAIN AND WILL STAY
CLEAR THE LONGEST...LIKE THE BLUEGRASS.

DID MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FOR TOMORROW AS FOCUS SHIFTS
UPSTREAM TO AN ONGOING MCS ABOUT TO ENTER THE KANSAS CITY REGION.
THERE HAD BEEN SOME MODEL UNCERTAINTY ON WHETHER THIS COMPLEX WOULD
SURVIVE OVERNIGHT AND MAKE IT INTO OUR WESTERN CWA AROUND DAWN. THE
TREND OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS HAS BEEN AWAY FROM THIS
POSSIBILITY AS IT DIVES STRAIGHT SOUTH. 00Z NAM SEEMS TO HAVE A
PRETTY GOOD HANDLE ON WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW SO HAVE NUDGED THE
FORECAST TO LOWER POPS WEST OF I 65 IN THE MORNING HOURS. BEST
TIMING FOR MORE CONVECTION...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG/SEVERE...
SHOULD BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ON FRIDAY AS ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. BEST COVERAGE AT THIS POINT
APPEARS TO BE IN THE BOWLING GREEN REGION WITH THIS FEATURE.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND FRIDAY)...

NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MAKING FORECAST DIFFICULT AGAIN...WITH MULTIPLE
RIPPLES IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW FIELD ALLOWING FOR SCATTERED STORM
DEVELOPMENT. NEXT ROUND APPEARS UNDERWAY WITH CU-FIELD CONGESTING
OVER WESTERN KY AND SOUTHERN IL. THIS ACTIVITY IS IN ADVANCE
OF ONE OF THOSE RIPPLES CURRENTLY INDICATED BY WATER VAPOR OVER
NORTHEAST MO/CENTRAL IL. AT THE SURFACE HAVE A BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE IN THE REGION. SURFACE FRONT IS DIFFICULT TO PICK OUT IN
THIS FIELD...HOWEVER DEWPOINT GRADIENT IS TIGHT OVER NORTHERN
ILLINOIS. BASED ON THESE FEATURES HAVE BUMPED UP THE POPS FOR THE
REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. EXPECT THE CLOUD FIELD
EVENTUALLY TO WORK ITS WAY INTO THE CLEAR AREAS NOW OVER THE
NORTHEAST TWO/THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA GIVEN GOOD HEATING AND
AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE UPSTREAM DYNAMICS MOVING IN.

WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING AND AS THE SHORTWAVE PASSES US BY MIDNIGHT
EXPECT STORMS TO WANE AND BE REPLACED BY SOME PATCHY FOG IN THE
AREAS THAT RECEIVE THE MOST RAIN THIS EVENING. MAY SEE CLOUDS BREAK
UP BY DAYBREAK SO ONCE AGAIN WILL HAVE LOWS FALLING INTO THE UPPER
60S FOR MOST OF THE AREA. EXCEPTIONS LOOK TO BE THE LOUISVILLE METRO
AS WELL AS THE SOUTHWEST FORECAST AREA...WHICH SHOULD STAY AROUND 70.

FOR TOMORROW GFS/ECMWF/GEM ALL HAVE ANOTHER SHORTWAVE AMPLIFYING
FROM THE NORTHWEST AND MOVING INTO THE REGION. GIVEN DIFFICULTY IN
PINPOINTING THE STRENGTHENING OF THIS FEATURE WILL KEEP POPS IN THE
SCATTERED RANGE FOR ALL DAY FRIDAY. AS FOR THE STRENGTH OF THESE
STORMS...MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE PRETTY STEEP. SHOULD THE TIMING
MATCH IN WITH ANY KIND OF HEATING COULD SEE THE STRONGEST STORMS
WITH FREQUENT TO EXCESSIVE LIGHTNING...NEAR SEVERE WINDS...AS WELL
AS POTENTIAL FOR SOME SMALL HAIL. GIVEN THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL
WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES UNDER 90 FOR ALL BUT THE SOUTHERN CWA.

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

NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION THIS WEEKEND AS
MODERATE 500MB FLOW ROUNDS A BROAD WESTERN RIDGE AND DESCENDS INTO
A WEAK TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE NORTHEASTERN STATES. THE FIRST OF
PERHAPS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES THIS WEEKEND IS EXPECTED TO CROSS
NORTHERN MISSOURI FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE GFS IS ESPECIALLY ROBUST
WITH MOISTURE RETURN AND BRINGS PWATS UP TO NEAR 1.75 INCHES LATE
FRIDAY AHEAD OF A FORECAST WEAK SURFACE LOW ACROSS MISSOURI. THE
ECMWF ALSO BRINGS ACROSS A SHORTWAVE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS
ON FRIDAY. CONFIDENCE IS GROWING IN SOME FORM OF NOCTURNAL
CONVECTION FRIDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER...LOCATION IS IN DOUBT. WILL
CONTINUE CURRENT FORECAST OF 40 TO 50% POPS DURING THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS SATURDAY.

TROUGHING WILL SHARPEN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES LATE SATURDAY INTO
EARLY SUNDAY AS THE NOSE OF A JET DIGS SOUTH ACROSS WISCONSIN. THE
EXTENDED MODELS ARE ADMITTEDLY ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THE TIMING
AND PLACEMENT OF A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES THAT MAY SLIDE ACROSS THE
LOWER OHIO VALLEY DURING THE SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY MONDAY TIME
FRAME. IF THERE IS ANY CONSENSUS AT ALL...IT LIES IN THE POTENTIAL
FOR NOCTURNAL CONVECTION DEVELOPING YET AGAIN ACROSS SOUTHERN
INDIANA LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THE NAM AND THE ECMWF
BOTH FORECAST THIS...WITH THE GFS SHOWING LITTLE OR NO PRECIPITATION
LATE SATURDAY. IN ALL LIKELIHOOD...THESE POTENTIAL LOW AMPLITUDE
SHORTWAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS INCREASING NORTHWEST FLOW ARE NOT
CURRENTLY RESOLVED BY THESE EXTENDED MODELS. FEEL THAT OUR BEST
CHANCES FOR GOOD CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.

TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND WILL STAY SEASONABLE...PERHAPS JUST A BIT
ON THE WARM SIDE AS OUR REGION WILL LIE IN BETWEEN THE EXCESSIVELY
HOT SOUTHERN PLAINS AND THE COOLISH AIR ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.

DURING THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS...EXTENDED GUIDANCE HAS HINTED AT
TROUGHING DEVELOPING EARLY NEXT WEEK ACROSS ONTARIO AND THE GREAT
LAKES. MODELS HAVE VACILLATED FROM RUN TO RUN ON THE DEGREE THAT
ANY COOLER DRIER AIR MIGHT MAKE IT AS FAR SOUTH AS THE LOWER OHIO
VALLEY. THE OPERATIONAL GFS HAS CONSISTENTLY REMAINED ON THE WARM SIDE
OF TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HPC AND THE
ECMWF HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY COOLER. WILL GO WITH A BLEND. THINK
THAT CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL DECREASE QUITE A BIT AFTER
MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED DOWNSTREAM OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED
FROM NEAR CLEVELAND SW TO SRN MISSOURI...WITH THE AID OF AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE. STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
BE POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE BWG
TERMINAL HAVING THE BIGGEST THREAT. WILL KEEP A VCSH/CB OR VCTS
MENTION IN AT ALL TAFS REGARDLESS.

OVERNIGHT...CLOUDS SHOULD SCATTER OUT FROM NW TO SE WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. COULD HAVE MVFR VSBYS DEVELOP IN THE CLEARING SKIES TOWARDS
DAWN FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. SFC WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF
THE SOUTH MID-MORNING FRIDAY AHEAD OF A QUICKLY APPROACHING
SHORTWAVE. LOOKS LIKE IT MAY TAKE A SOUTHERN TURN AND MAYBE AFFECT
BWG MORE THAN ANY TERMINAL TOMORROW. HOWEVER WILL AT LEAST MENTION
CB IN AT SDF AND BWG FRIDAY AFTER 18Z...AND PERHAPS A VCTS MENTION
UNTIL MORE MODEL AGREEMENT CAN OCCUR. ANY STORMS THROUGH THIS TAF
PERIOD WILL BE ABLE TO PRODUCE BRIEF IFR-LIFR VSBYS/MVFR CIGS AND
GUSTY WINDS TO 30 KNOTS.
