Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 7:14 PM EDT, 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
714 PM EDT SUN JUL 3 2011

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

...FORECAST UPDATE...

DOING A QUICK FORECAST UPDATE TO BUMP UP POPS TO CATEGORICAL OVER
THE NW QUAD OF THE CWA. HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOMENTARILY
MOVING INTO DUBOIS...PERRY AND HANCOCK COUNTIES...WHERE HEAVY
RAIN...CONTINUOUS LIGHTNING AND ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING WILL BE THE
MAIN THREATS. IF CORES CAN GET TALL ENOUGH...HAIL MAY BE AN OUTSIDE
THREAT AS WELL.

UPDATE OUT SHORTLY.

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...

ONGOING CONVECTION ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED FROM CENTRAL
KANSAS TO NEAR LOUISVILLE TO SOUTHERN OHIO AS OF 19Z.  SCATTERED
CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST OVER OUR AREA AND ALSO DEVELOP
SOUTH AND EAST OF LOUISVILLE AS WELL.  SOME STRONGER STORMS HAD
ALREADY BEEN IN THE FRANKFORT AREA AS OF 19Z. LAPSE SOUNDINGS
INDICATE STRONG ELEVATED CAPE IN THE 3000 TO 4500 J/KG RANGE.
HOWEVER...A WEAK WIND COLUMN HAS LIMITED STORM ORGANIZATION.
THEREFORE...EXPECT CONTINUED PULSE TYPE STORMS WITH HAIL BEING THE
MAIN THREAT.  ONE INCH HAIL WAS REPORTED THIS AFTERNOON FROM A
STORM IN DUBOIS COUNTY INDIANA.

STORMS SHOULD DECLINE TONIGHT AFTER SUNSET.  IF MOST OF THE LL
CLOUDS CLEAR AS EXPECTED...WE COULD SEE SOME LIGHT PATCHY FOG IN THE
VALLEYS AND FOG PRONE AREAS.  A GOOD MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK SHOULD
PREVENT FOG VSBYS FROM GOING TO LOW THOUGH.

UPPED POPS TO 60 PERCENT FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH/SHORT WAVE APPROACH THE AREA WITH THE SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY
STILL LINGERING CLOSE BY.  ENERGY OUT AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH COULD
SPARK STORMS AS EARLY AS MID MORNING ON INDEPENDENCE DAY.  ALTHOUGH
THE DAY IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A WASH OUT...STORM COVERAGE WILL
LIKELY BE MORE THAN WHAT WAS EXPERIENCED TODAY.  STORM THREATS WILL
BE SIMILAR WITH HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT.  SECONDARY THREATS
INCLUDE GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY RAIN...AND CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
STAY UPDATED ON THE WEATHER TOMORROW ESPECIALLY IF YOU PLAN TO BE
OUTDOORS.

WITH A WARM MOIST ATMOS IN PLACE TONIGHT...LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD
IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.  HIGHS TOMORROW WILL BE COOLER THAN
TODAY IN THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90.

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

AN UPPER TROUGH WILL START OFF ACROSS OR JUST WEST OF THE REGION
MONDAY NIGHT. THIS TROUGH WILL NOT MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS THE AREA AS
IT GETS REINFORCED FROM ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCES UPSTREAM. RIDGING
WILL TRY AND BUILD IN FOR THE WEEKEND....BUT THE PATTERN LOOKS
DISTURBED/WET ENOUGH FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. WIND FLOW ALOFT LOOKS PRETTY
WEAK EACH DAY...SO NOT WORRIED ABOUT ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER.
DEPENDING ON WHEN THE TROUGHS CROSS THE REGION...WITH PEAK HEATING
OR NOT...MAY GET SOME HAIL BUT TOO EARLY TO PINPOINT AT THIS TIME.

WITH TROUGHING OVER THE AREA...TEMPERATURES SHOULD STAY CLOSE TO
NORMAL EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BLOWN UP ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL
KENTUCKY THIS EVENING ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FIRING OVER SOUTHERN IL/SOUTHWEST IN. THESE STORMS
SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM THE TAF SITES ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE TO SEE IF
VERY SLOW MOVING COMPLEX OVER SW INDIANA HAS ENOUGH STRENGTH TO
INFLUENCE SDF LATER THIS EVENING. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP TAF DRY AND
IMPACTS LOW AS WE BEGIN TO LOSE AFTERNOON INSTABILITY. SDF TAF
SHOULD MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE AMENDMENTS TO INCLUDE T-STORMS OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS.

OTHERWISE...CONVECTIVE DEBRIS FROM AFTERNOON/EVE THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD KEEP VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS IN CHECK UNTIL MORE TOWARD DAWN
...AND EVEN THEN CONFIDENCE IS LOW THAT ENOUGH CLOUD COVER WILL
ERODE FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. NEVERTHELESS...BEST CHANCES FOR
MVFR VIS RESTRICTIONS TOWARD DAWN WILL BE AT BWG/LEX. EXPECT
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP AGAIN ON MONDAY AS A MID LEVEL
IMPULSE/SHORTWAVE MOVE THROUGH THE REGION. FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD
BE SOUTH OF THE CWA ALTHOUGH WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ENHANCED
COVERAGE NEAR BWG. SURFACE WINDS SHOULD REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTH AND
WEST AT SDF/LEX WITH BWG VARIABLE AS THE BOUNDARY PASSES SOUTH LATER
THIS EVENING/TONIGHT.
