Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 11:23 AM EDT, 2 hours 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 1123 AM EDT SAT APR 9 2011 ...MESOSCALE UPDATE... WELL...FINALLY GOT SOME WIND DAMAGE REPORTS IN CRAWFORD COUNTY IN...AND A CORNUCOPIA OF PEA SIZE HAIL REPORTS AS MUCH OF THE 50 DBZ CORE STRETCH TO 35K.

WIND THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY STRONG NORTH AND ALONG OF I 65. BIGGEST CHANGE IS THE SW NEW DEVELOPMENT OF NEW STORMS JUST WEST OF BUTLER COUNTY AND WE BELIEVE THIS WILL INCREASE IT GETS INTO A MORE UNSTABLE AIRMASS. THE 12Z BNA SOUNDING SHOWS LIS -9, SFC CAPE (WITH CAPPING OF 3800 J/KG, WITH DRY LAYER WITH STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. SVR WATCH 111 CONTINUES TIL 18Z FOR ALL OF CWA...THIS LOOKS GOOD! .SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)... IT APPEARS SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL MOVE INTO OUR FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING AND POSSIBLY BECOME STRONG TO SVR THIS AFTERNOON ...MOST LIKELY ACRS OUR EASTERN AREAS WITH MAX DESTABILIZATION AND INCREASING DEEP LAYER SHEAR. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A QUASISTATIONARY BOUNDARY NEAR THE OHIO RIVER EWD TO JUST SOUTH OF LEXINGTON. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD LIFT NWD TODAY WHILE NRN MO SHRTWV TROF DROPS SEWD OVER RIDGE INTO SERN INDIANA THIS AFTERNOON AND TO THE VIRGINIAS TNGT. NERN MO/WRN IL MCS WILL LIKELY WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS ESE THIS MORNING WITH REDEVELOPMENT ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGES DURG THE AFTERNOON FUELED BY DIURNAL HEATING/AFOREMENTIONED DESTABILIZATION AND INCREASING WNW FLOW IN THE UPPER LEVELS. WILL KEEP POPS IN THE SCATTERED CATEGORY WITH THE BEST CHC OF SEVERE MOST LIKELY ACRS OUR ERN/SERN COUNTIES. THIS SUPPORTED BY THE SPC WRF/NAM/HRRR. TEMPS WILL WARM TODAY TO THE WARMER GFS MOS GUIDANCE (LOWER TO MID 80S). ALL STORMS SHOULD BE EXITING OUR FORECAST AREA BY 00Z THIS EVENING. TEMPS WILL REMAIN MILD (60S) BUOYED BY S/SW FLOW DESPITE DECREASING CLOUDS. .LONG TERM (SUNDAY - MONDAY)... THE DEEP ELONGATED 500MB TROUGH CURRENTLY DIGGING ITS HEELS OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL SPEED UP A BIT BY EARLY SUNDAY AS RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. AS THIS TROUGH MOVES TOWARDS THE MIDWEST...LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP LATE SUNDAY ACROSS NEBRASKA OR IOWA...QUICKLY MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR BY EARLY MONDAY. AS SURFACE PRESSURES FALL TO OUR NORTHWEST SUNDAY...SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN AND BECOME BREEZY BY AFTERNOON. WITH STRONG RIDGING ALOFT AND WITH THE EXPECTED POSITION OF THE WARM FRONT WAY NORTH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES...ANTICIPATE THAT SUNDAY WILL STAY DRY WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. RECORD HIGHS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY FOR LOUISVILLE LEXINGTON AND FRANKFORT.

ALL RECENT GUIDANCE HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN ADVERTISING A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRECEDING THIS TROUGH ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE MORNING TO MID-DAY HOURS. PRECIP WILL LIKELY START NORTHWEST OF THE OHIO RIVER CLOSE TO OR SHORTLY AFTER DAWN...OVERSPREADING THE ENTIRE REGION BY LATE MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH PRECIPITABLE MOISTURE WILL INCREASE JUST PRIOR TO THIS LINES EXPECTED ARRIVAL...THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THESE STORMS WILL TEND LIMIT AVERAGE AREAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS TO BETWEEN ONE HALF INCH AND ONE INCH OF RAIN. DESPITE A STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD JUST AHEAD OF THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE...LIMITED INSTABILITY AND A LACK OF STRONGER DYNAMICS WILL PRECLUDE A WIDESPREAD SEVERE THREAT OUTSIDE OF A VERY ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUST. IN FACT...FORECAST SOUNDINGS HINT THAT THE BULK OF ANY CONVECTION MAY ACTUALLY DEVELOP RIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT/WIND SHIFT. LATER MONDAY...BEHIND THIS CONVECTION...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND INCREASE TO 10 TO 20 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. HIGH PRESSURE OF PACIFIC ORIGIN WILL QUICKLY BUILD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY. AS THE 500MB TROUGH AXIS MOVES EAST ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS EARLY TUESDAY...SKIES SHOULD CLEAR DURING THE MORNING HOURS. A COUPLE OF NICE DAYS ARE THEN EXPECTED WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES JUST A FEW DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL MID-APRIL MAX AND MIN VALUES OF 66/ 46. BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON A TROUGH IS FORECAST BY THE ECMWF AND THE GFS TO DEVELOP AND DEEPEN ACROSS THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY. THIS FEATURE WILL THEN MOVE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS LATE THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. && .AVIATION (12Z TAF ISSUANCE)... BRIEF MVFR CONDS IN FOG WILL GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY VFR CONDS THRU THE PERIOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LOWER CONDS IN TSTMS. TSTM COMPLEX EXTENDING FROM ECNTRL IL THRU STL INTO SE MO WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD. EXPECT COVERAGE OF STORMS TO DECREASE A BIT THRU THE MID MORNING HOURS WITH MOST STORMS ON THE COOL SIDE OF A BOUNDARY JUST SOUTH OF SDF AND LEX. ALL/MOST STORMS THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE SDF AND LEX VCNTY SHOULD BE EVEVATED WITH HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN BEING THE PRIMARY THREATS. WILL CONTINUE VCNTY REMARK FOR STORMS WITH COVERAGE STILL EXPECTED TO BE SCATTERED...WITH THE MOST NUMEROUS ACTIVITY LIKELY IN THE SDF AND LEX VCNTYS. MAY NEED TO AMEND LATER TO UPGRADE VCNTY REMARK TO MORE CATEGORICAL WORDING AS STORMS MOVE CLOSER. STORMS COULD CERTAINLY PRODUCE IFR TO MVFR CONDS IF THEY GO OVER A TAF SITE.
