355 AM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 340 AM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

...FROST ADVISORY AND A NW FREEZE WARNING TONIGHT...

06Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A COLD FRONT...EXTENDING FROM A LOW CENTERED
NORTH OF MICHIGAN...ENTERING THE STATE OF KENTUCKY. THIS BOUNDARY IS
MAINLY A DRY ONE ATTM WITH JUST SOME LIGHT RAIN/SPRINKLES SHOWING UP
ON RADAR OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN INDIANA ALONG WITH SOME TO THE
EAST OF THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL TENNESSEE. A
SMATTERING OF LOW CLOUDS REMAIN OVER FAR EASTERN KENTUCKY...BUT FOR
THE MOST PART SKIES ARE CLEAR. THIS HAS ALLOWED THE VALLEYS TO DROP
OFF INTO THE UPPER 30S IN MANY CASE WHILE THE RIDGES HOLD IN THE LOWER
AND MIDDLE 40S. PATCHY FOG IS ALSO NOTED IN THE DEEPER VALLEYS OF THE
EAST. THIS WILL ALL CLEAR OUT TOWARD DAWN AS THE CLOUDS OF THE FRONT
MOVES IN ALONG WITH A STIRRING OF THE WIND FROM THE SOUTH. THE PICK
UP IN WINDS SHOULD ALSO MIX THE AIR MORE EFFECTIVELY AND ALLOW VALLEY
TEMPS TO RISE TOWARD DAWN.

THE MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT ALOFT WITH THE TROUGH SWINGING
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY TODAY. THIS TROUGH AND ITS
EFFECTS WILL LIFT OUT OF THE REGION QUICKLY LATER TODAY AND SET UP A
REGIME OF SLOWLY RISING HEIGHTS...BUT ALSO FAST AND SLIGHTLY
NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE AREA INTO THURSDAY EVENING.

THE MODEL DIFFERENCES...SLIGHT THAT THEY ARE...IN SENSIBLE WEATHER
WITH THIS SYSTEM REVOLVE PRIMARILY AROUND THE RESOLUTION AND INTERNAL
MECHANICS OF THE MODELS THEMSELVES. ACCORDINGLY...THE HIGHER
RESOLUTION HRRR AND DOWNSCALE NAMDNG SHOW ENOUGH OOMPH WITH THIS
FRONT TO PRINT OUT SMALL POPS LATER THIS MORNING AND INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE ALL THE OTHER MODELS...ASIDE FROM THE ECMWF...
ARE DRY...INCLUDING THE RUC13. PLAN ON FOLLOWING THE IDEAS OF THE
HRRR WITH SOME ECMWF SUPPORT FOR POPS TODAY. AS THERE ARE SOME SIGNS
OF PCPN SHOWING UP ON RADAR ALONG THIS BOUNDARY ATTM...SOME EXTRA
LIFT AVAILABLE COMING THROUGH THE HIGHER TERRAIN HERE...AND DECENT
DYNAMICS TO THE NORTH WILL CONTINUE A SMALL CHANCE/ISOLATED POPS
SCENARIO FOR EAST KENTUCKY TODAY...BUT CERTAINLY THE MAJORITY OF THE
AREA WILL STAY DRY. THE CLOUDS AND ANY LIGHT PCPN FROM THIS BOUNDARY
WILL MOVE OUT BY EVENING AND ALLOW FOR A CHILLY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY
ONCE THE WINDS GO LIGHT AND CALM AFTER SUNSET.

THE CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR THE
COLDEST NIGHT...ACROSS ALL OF EAST KENTUCKY...OF THE YOUNG FALL
SEASON WITH WIDESPREAD AND POTENTIALLY RATHER THICK FROST A GOOD BET.
THE FROST ON TUESDAY MORNING ONLY REALLY AFFECTED LOCALIZED AREAS TO
OUR NORTHWEST WHILE FOG MANAGED TO PROTECT THE COLDER SPOTS IN THE
WESTERN PORTION OF THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY. THEREFORE FOR THE MAJORITY
OF EAST KENTUCKY FROST WILL BE THE LARGER THREAT TONIGHT AS
TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO DIP DOWN JUST BELOW FREEZING IN
ABOUT HALF THE AREA AND FOR A JUST BRIEF PERIOD TOWARDS DAWN. AS A
RESULT...WILL ISSUE A FREEZE WARNING IN THE NORTHWEST THAT SAW MORE
FROST YESTERDAY MORNING AND KICK OFF A FROST ADVISORY OVER THE REST
OF THE CWA. WILL START THESE AT MIDNIGHT AS THE DEEPER VALLEYS SHOULD
DROP OFF FAST FOLLOWING SUNSET AND A SETTLING OF THE WINDS.
HOWEVER...FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL CLOSER TOWARD
DAWN OVER THE NORTHWEST...BUT WIDESPREAD FROST CAN BE EXPECTED MUCH
EARLIER IN THE NIGHT. TO EASE ANY CONFUSION WITH THE TWO
FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES FOR OUR AREA...BUT VERY SIMILAR EFFECTS
EXPECTED...WILL ISSUE THEM FOR THE SAME VALID TIMES FROM MIDNIGHT
THROUGH 9 AM EDT. THURSDAY WILL BE A NICE DAY AFTER A CHILLY START
WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND ONLY A SMALL INCREASE IN CLOUDS FROM THE
WEST LATE IN THE DAY.

HAVE FOLLOWED A MIX OF THE INHERITED GRIDS...MAV GUIDANCE...AND
TERRAIN BASED EDITING FOR THE TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND OTHERWISE. AS
FOR POPS...AGAIN RAN HIGHER THAN THE GUIDANCE FOR TODAY/S SLIGHT
CHANCES.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 355 AM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

THE FIRST ISSUE TO CONTEND WITH IN THE EXTENDED CENTERS AROUND A
SHORT WAVE CURRENTLY DROPPING SOUTH OUT OF THE FRONT RANGE OF THE
CANADIAN ROCKIES...WITH AN ASSOCIATED SFC LOW TAKING SHAPE ALONG THE
U.S./CANADIAN BORDER. MODELS REMAIN IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH THIS DUO...BRINGING THEIR ASSOCIATED ENERGY INTO THE GREAT
LAKES LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE COMMONWEALTH TODAY WILL BE SHIFTING
TO THE EAST BY TOMORROW NIGHT...INVOKING SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW BACK
INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SFC LOW AS
IT TREKS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. MOISTURE PROFILES ARE LOOKING A
LITTLE BETTER THIS MORNING...AND HAVE BOOSTED POPS A BIT ACROSS THE
BOARD FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. INSTABILITY STILL DOES
NOT LOOK ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE
THUNDER THROUGH THIS WINDOW. HOWEVER...ATTM...IT WOULD APPEAR THAT
ANY TSTMS WOULD BE ISOLATED AND WELL BELOW SEVERE THRESHOLDS.

HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO TRAVERSE THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY IN CONJUNCTION WITH SHORT WAVE RIDGING OVERHEAD YIELDING
QUIETER WEATHER TO START THE WEEKEND. DURING THIS TIME...A CUTOFF
LOW STILL PARKED OFF THE COAST OF CA IS EXPECTED TO DIG INTO THE
DESERT SW BEFORE EVOLVING INTO MORE OF AN OPEN WAVE AS IT LIFTS
ACROSS THE PLAINS. MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH BRINGING
THIS FEATURE INTO THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH
THE ACCOMPANYING SFC REFLECTION USHERING AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY.

ABOUT THIS TIME...MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. A VERY LOOSE CONSENSUS THIS MORNING SUGGESTS
SOME STALLING OF THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO ERN KY WITH THE
PARENT UPPER LEVEL TROF PAUSING OVER THE LENGTH OF THE MS VALLEY
WHILE A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE DROPS DOWN THE BACKSIDE...DEEPENING THE
UPPER TROF BEFORE ULTIMATELY KICKING THE FRONT AND THE BULK OF ANY
LINGERING PRECIP TO THE EAST OF THE AREA BY LATE IN THE DAY MONDAY.
THEREAFTER...A SOLID CONSENSUS BECOMES NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO COME BY.
WITH MUCH UNCERTAINTY THIS FAR OUT...HAVE OPTED TO KEEP POPS LIMITED
TO 20 PERCENT OR LESS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK UNTIL BETTER
MODEL AGREEMENT CAN BE ACHIEVED.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 225 AM EDT WED OCT 10 2012

ALMOST ALL OF THE MVFR STRATOCU HAS DISSIPATED OVER OUR EAST...WITH
JUST SOME LINGERING PATCHES ALONG THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS.
EXPECT THESE TO CONTINUE TO ERODE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
ACCORDINGLY...THE VAST MAJORITY OF EASTERN KENTUCKY WILL SEE VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT WITH ANY FOG FOUND ONLY
IN THE DEEPER VALLEYS. TOWARD DAWN...MID AND LOW LEVEL CLOUDS WILL
PUSH BACK ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE WEST AS A MAINLY DRY COLD
FRONT APPROACHES. THESE CLOUDS AND THE ODD CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR
SPRINKLE WILL BE THE MAIN EFFECTS OF THE FRONT AND WILL EXIT WEST TO
EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ALSO...THERE WILL BE A SOLID
WIND SHIFT WITH THE FRONT. LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME
SOUTHWESTERLY AND PICK UP A NOTCH JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT DURING THE
DAY...TODAY...WITH WINDS BECOMING MORE WESTERLY AND STAYING UP BEHIND
THE BOUNDARY. LIGHT WINDS AT THE SFC EARLY THIS MORNING WILL CREATE A
MINOR SHEAR CONCERN AS THEY ARE RUNNING IN THE 20 TO 25 KT RANGE FROM
THE SOUTHWEST AT ABOUT 2K FEET OFF THE SFC.
