AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
345 AM EDT FRI APR 6 2012

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 345 AM EDT FRI APR 6 2012

06Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS COOL HIGH PRESSURE PUSHING INTO THE AREA FROM
THE NORTH. THIS HAS SHIFTED THE EARLIER SHOWERS SOUTH INTO TENNESSEE
AND CLEARED THE SKIES FOR ALL BUT FAR SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY. HOWEVER...
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THIS HIGH AND THE LOW TO THE SOUTH HAS
KEPT THE WINDS UP FOR MOST OF THE AREA. THESE WINDS HAVE STEADILY
BROUGHT IN COLDER AIR ON NORTHEAST WINDS. AS A RESULT...TEMPERATURES
HAVE FALLEN INTO THE LOWER 40S IN THE NORTH AND LOWER 50S IN THE
SOUTH. THE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TO CALM IN THE SHELTERED VALLEYS FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT AND THAT SHOULD ALLOW THEM TO SETTLE INTO
THE MID 30S FOR LOWS AND COULD FOSTER SOME VERY PATCHY FROST TOWARD
DAWN IN THE DEEPER NORTHEAST ONES. MEANWHILE...DEWPOINTS THROUGH EAST
KENTUCKY HAVE DROPPED INTO THE LOWER 30S IN MOST PLACES.

THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS STRONG
RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE MID-SECTION OF THE NATION. THIS
RIDGE WILL HELP TO SHOVE THE SOUTHEAST SHORTWAVE OFF THE COAST LATER
TODAY AND SHIFT THE DEEP NORTHEAST TROUGH TO THE EAST...AS WELL.
THE RIDGE...THOUGH WEAKENING AS IT MOVES INTO KENTUCKY ON SATURDAY...
WILL BRING SUPPRESSION THAT WILL HELP TO KEEP THE SKIES CLEAR AND
ALSO YIELD DRY AIR AT THE SFC LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE FOLLOWED THE DETAILS FROM THE NAM12 MOST
CLOSELY.

SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL ESSENTIALLY FEATURE A SEASONABLY COOL PERIOD
THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE IS EXPECTED
TODAY AND SATURDAY WHILE CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL BE IN PLACE
TONIGHT. HUMIDITIES WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER 20S IN MANY PLACES THIS
AFTERNOON AND COULD PRESENT A FIRE WEATHER CONCERN...PARTICULARLY AS
THE WINDS BRING DOWN A LITTLE EXTRA GUSTINESS...IN ADDITION TO THE
DRY AIR...FROM JUST OFF THE SFC. HOWEVER...THE SFC AND 20 METER WINDS
LATER THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY NOT REACHED SUSTAINED VALUES OF 15
MPH OR HIGHER...KEEPING THE CONDITIONS BELOW THE THRESHOLD FOR RED
FLAG. LIGHTER WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY WITH EVEN DRIER AIR
IN PLACE BENEATH THE HEART OF THAT HIGH.

THE HIGH WILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO EAST KENTUCKY TONIGHT SO THAT THE
WINDS SHOULD DIE OFF AROUND SUNSET...SETTING THE STAGE FOR A VERY
COLD NIGHT...GIVEN OUR RECENT PROLONGED EXTENT OF MILD WEATHER.
STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL SEND TEMPERATURES DOWN INTO THE
LOWER 30S THROUGH MOST OF THE AREA WITH ONLY THE RIDGETOPS AND OUR
SOUTHWEST ZONES SPARED THESE NEAR AND SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES BY
DAWN. THE SHELTERED VALLEYS IN THE FAR EAST ARE EXPECTED TO SEE
READINGS INTO THE UPPER 20S FOR LOWS. ACCORDINGLY...HAVE PLACED THE
NORTHEAST TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA INTO A FREEZE WARNING FOR TONIGHT
WHILE THE REMAINDER WILL BE UNDER A FROST ADVISORY. WIDESPREAD FROST
IS EXPECTED THROUGHOUT EAST KENTUCKY...BEGINNING IN THOSE EASTERN
VALLEYS SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THEY SEE THEIR TEMPERATURES DROP
OFF MUCH QUICKER THAN THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

THIS FREEZE/FROST EVENT TONIGHT WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ALL
AGRICULTURE INTERESTS AS THE RECENT WARMTH HAS LEAD TO ABNORMALLY
EARLY GROWTH AND BUDDING OF THE FRUIT TREES AND SOME CROPS.
ACCORDINGLY...EXTRA CARE AND PRECAUTIONS ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TONIGHT
FOR ANYONE CONCERNED WITH THEIR AGRICULTURE. THE FROST SHOULD BE
MELTED OFF SHORTLY AFTER 9 AM SATURDAY.

HAVE FOLLOWED A BLEND OF THE COLDER MET AND MAV MOS GUIDANCE FOR
HIGHS TODAY AND SATURDAY. FOR TONIGHT...THOUGH...FAVORED THE COLDER
MAV MOS AND ITS COOP MOS VALUES FOR LOWS AS WELL AS A STRONG LEAN
TOWARD THE INHERITED GRIDS TO CAPTURE THE DETAILS OF THE NEAR AND SUB
FREEZING TEMPERATURES. POPS WERE BASICALLY ZEROED OUT THROUGH
SATURDAY IN LINE WITH MOS.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 345 AM EDT FRI APR 6 2012

THE MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN
CONTINUING THROUGH THE PERIOD. A RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY WILL BECOME FLATTENED AND EVENTUALLY YIELD TO A CONSOLIDATING
TROUGH THAT WILL DOMINATE THE EASTERN CONUS WELL INTO NEXT
WEEK...BRINGING UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES TO THE OHIO AND
TENNESSEE VALLEYS...AS WELL AS A FEW SHOTS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION
FROM TIME TO TIME.

THE DETAILS ON HOW ALL OF THIS UNFOLDS CONTINUES TO BE
CHALLENGING...SO HAVE RELIED HEAVILY ON THE BLENDED GUIDANCE...WHICH
WOUND UP BEING FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE INHERITED FORECAST. ANOTHER
CHILLY NIGHT WILL BE ON TAP SATURDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH PROBABLY NOT
AS COOL AS SATURDAY MORNING AS A COLD FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING
TOWARDS DAWN...SPREADING SOME CLOUD COVER AS WELL AS KICKING UP AT
LEAST LIGHT WINDS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH ON SUNDAY...BRINGING MAINLY SOME
DRIER AIR TO THE AREA. THE REAL COLD SHOT WILL COME ON TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY AS THE TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS.
AGAIN...THERE WILL BE SOME SMALL CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED
WITH PASSING SHORT WAVE TROUGHS TRAVERSING THE NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT...HOWEVER AT THIS TIME...HAVE DECIDED TO STICK WITH A DIURNAL
TREND TO THE SHOWERS.

BY THURSDAY...THE TROUGH WILL BEGIN EASING UP IN THE EAST...POSSIBLY
ALLOWING A SYSTEM FROM THE PLAINS TO BEGIN SPREADING WARM FRONTAL
PRECIP INTO THE AREA. WILL THEREFORE CARRY THE GIVEN SLIGHT CHANCES
IN THE SOUTH.

FOR TEMPERATURES...CONTINUED TO STICK WITH THE BLENDED DATA PRETTY
CLOSE. LOWS WILL BOTTOM OUT SOLIDLY IN THE 30S FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY MORNINGS...ALTHOUGH WINDS AND CLOUD COVER MAY KEEP FROST
MORE RESTRICTED TO THE DEEPER VALLEYS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 155 AM EDT FRI APR 6 2012

WHILE CLOUD COVER CONTINUES TO ERODE FROM THE NORTH AS DRIER AIR
FILTERS IN ON NORTHEAST FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS...A BAND OF SC AT
AROUND 4K FEET IS HOLDING ON OVER OUR FAR SOUTHEAST AND THE LOZ TAF
SITE. OTHERWISE...SKC OR JUST A SCATTERED PATCH OF CIRRUS WILL BE
THE RULE THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT. NORTHEAST WINDS AT 5 TO 10
KTS WILL SETTLE A TOUCH OVERNIGHT BEFORE BECOMING GUSTY AGAIN BY MID
MORNING ON FRIDAY...DIMINISHING AGAIN LATER FRIDAY EVENING.
