AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
306 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 300 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS PRESENTLY SITTING ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN
US. THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES IS DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS
OHIO THIS AFTERNOON...BRINGING THE CLOUD COVER A BIT FURTHER TO THE
SOUTH...AND EVEN GENERATING SOME FLURRIES IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN.
CLOSER TO HOME...A SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDS ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY ON
THE SOUTHERN FLANKS OF WHERE THIS SHORTWAVE IS TRACKING. THIS HAS
PROVIDED VERY GOOD MIXING AND DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY.
THIS FIRST SHORTWAVE WILL SEND SOME CLOUD COVER INTO NORTHEAST
KENTUCKY THIS EVENING. EXACTLY HOW MUCH OF IT HOLDS TOGETHER IS A BIG
QUESTION. SOME OF IT MAY BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN AND MAY DIMINISH THIS
EVENING. REGARDLESS...THIS WAVE WILL SEND A DRY COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE AREA WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION KICKING IN OVERNIGHT. THIS
WILL SEND SURFACE TEMPERATURES PLUMMETING TOWARDS THE FREEZING MARK.
GIVEN THE STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION...THE COLDEST SPOTS TONIGHT MAY
ACTUALLY BE THE RIDGES...WHILE VALLEY LOCATIONS MAY BE SLIGHTLY
MILDER. OVERALL...CONDITIONS FOR A WIDESPREAD FREEZE DOES NOT LOOK
VERY GOOD TONIGHT...BUT SEVERAL AREAS MAY FALL TO OR SLIGHTLY BELOW
FREEZING. THUS...HAVE OPTED TO GO AHEAD AND ISSUE THE FREEZE WARNING.
IT IS STILL WORTH NOTING THAT PEOPLE SHOULD STILL TAKE ACTION WITH
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO FALL AROUND FREEZING BY DAYBREAK.

A COOL DAY IS ANTICIPATED FOR WEDNESDAY AS A SECOND SHORTWAVE WILL
SEND MORE CLOUD COVER INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY DURING THE DAY.
THUS...THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER WILL HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES ON THE
COOL SIDE AS WELL. BY TOMORROW NIGHT...SURFACE RIDGING WILL BUILD
INTO THE AREA AND CENTER ITSELF OVER THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY REGION
BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY. WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT/CALM
WINDS...EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WILL BE IN PLACE FOR
THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE WEEK. VALLEY LOCATIONS WILL EASILY FALL INTO
THE 20S...WITH RIDGES HOLDING IN THE MID 30S. THUS...WILL GO WITH A
FREEZE WATCH FOR TOMORROW NIGHT...WHERE THE GREATEST THREAT WILL
EXIST FOR TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE 20S.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 PM EDT TUE APR 10 2012

FOR THE EXTENDED...WHILE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE LONGWAVE
PATTERN OF DEEP TROUGHS OFF THE WEST AND EAST COASTS AND RIDGING
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE NATION...THE MODELS START OUT WITH A BIT
OF A DISAGREEMENT CENTERED A SHORT WAVE OVER CHICAGO-LAND THAT
DROPS THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND ACROSS EAST KENTUCKY BY 00Z
FRIDAY. THE 00Z ECMWF IS MOST DEVELOPED WITH THIS FEATURE WHILE THE
06Z GFS AND 12Z GEM HAVE AT BEST A DAMPENED VERSION OF THE WAVE.
GIVEN THAT THIS BATCH OF ENERGY IS NOT SO EVIDENT IN THE NAM12 AND
THE OTHER MODELS...WILL DISCOUNT IT IN THE FORECAST. FOR THE END OF
THE WEEK AND OVER THE WEEKEND THE NORTHEAST TROUGH WILL SLIP OFF TO
THE EAST WHILE RIDGING MOVES OVERHEAD FROM THE PLAINS AND
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE REGION WITH TIME...
PEAKING AROUND 00Z SUNDAY IN ALL MODELS. THE RIDGE WILL START TO
WEAKEN AND PASS BY AT THE START OF THE NEW WEEK...MOVING OFF TO THE
EAST...AS A DEEP TROUGH MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.
DURING THIS TIME...ANY ENERGY THAT ESCAPES FROM THE LOW WILL RIPPLE
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND INTO THE NORTHERN OHIO
VALLEY. THE WESTERN LOW THEN MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY
TUESDAY MORNING...AND OPENS UP A BIT...SENDING MORE OF ITS ENERGY
TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY...WHILE THE SOUTHEAST RIDGE FURTHER WEAKENS.

HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE AT THE SFC AND RIDGING ALOFT WILL MAKE FOR A
CONTINUATION OF OUR MID APRIL CHILL INTO THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE
FORECAST. THURSDAY WILL START OFF COLD...ESPECIALLY IN THE
VALLEYS...WITH FROSTY AND VALLEY FREEZING CONDITIONS EARLY BEFORE A
FAIR AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE WARMS THE REGION LATER THAT MORNING. THE SFC
HIGH WILL MODERATE AND MOVE OFF TO THE EAST LATER THAT NIGHT...BUT
NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT ANOTHER THREAT OF FROST IN THE EASTERN VALLEYS
BY DAWN FRIDAY. A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST WILL THEN
PUSH ITS DEVELOPING WARM FRONT INTO THE REGION WITH A SMALL CHANCE
OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTHERN PARTS OF OUR FORECAST AREA
LATER FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY. HAVE DOWN PLAYED THIS FOR NOW
GIVEN THE DRY AIR IN PLACE...THESE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. THIS BOUNDARY
MOVES NORTH OF THE CWA BY SATURDAY EVENING WITH MOST SPOTS STAYING
DRY. HOWEVER...IT WILL NOT MOVE FAR ENOUGH AWAY TO SPARE THE
NORTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA A RISK OF CONVECTION ON SUNDAY. LOW
PRESSURE WILL THEN SLOWLY APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST AND BRING
INCREASING CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE CWA FOR THE
START OF THE NEW WORK WEEK THROUGH TUESDAY...PARTICULARLY IN OUR
NORTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES.

THE GRID LOAD CAME IN PRETTY DECENT...EVEN WITHOUT THE LATEST GFS
RUN INCLUDED. DID NUDGE THE POPS DOWN FOR A COUPLE OF THE DAYS EARLY
ON IN THE FORECAST GIVEN THE RIDGING ALOFT. FOR TEMPERATURES...ONLY
MADE SOME MINOR TERRAIN BASED ADJUSTMENTS EACH NIGHT AT THE START...
OTHERWISE FOLLOWED SUIT WITH THE DATA LOAD.
