AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1248 PM EST SAT JAN 21 2012

.SHORT TERM.../THIS AFTERNOON/

DRIZZLE HAS DRIED UP ACROSS THE AREA...WITH JUST CLOUDY SKIES
REMAINING. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO SLOWLY FALL IN THE CUMBERLAND
VALLEY...WITH MOST OTHER LOCATIONS REMAINING NEARLY STEADY...AROUND
30 ALONG AND NORTH OF I-64...WITH LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S ELSEWHERE. HAVE
FRESHENED UP THE GRIDS TO REFLECT THESE TRENDS.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/THIS MORNING/

SIGNIFICANT PRECIP HAS EXITED SOUTHEAST. HAVE LEFT JUST A POSSIBILITY
OF DRIZZLE IN THE FORECAST FOR TODAY IN THE SE HALF OF THE AREA...
BASED ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS. ALSO MADE SOME ADJUSTMENT ON TEMPS
BASED ON LATEST OBS.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY/

A CONVECTIVE EVENT WAS ONGOING DURING THE LATE NIGHT HOURS OVER THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. A SLOW MOVING
COLD FRONT WAS LAID OUT NEAR THE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY WITH A WAVE OF LOW
PRESSURE TRAVELING ALONG IT. TEMPERATURES WERE LARGELY IN THE 50S TO
NEAR 60 SOUTH OF THE FRONT...BUT DROPPED SHARPLY NORTH OF THE
FRONT...WITH TEMPS NEAR FREEZING AT THE NORTHERN END OF THE FORECAST
AREA. THE MAIN CONCERNS ARE AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...BEING A
THREAT OF SEVERE WX AND HYDRO ISSUES IN OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES...AND A
THREAT OF FREEZING RAIN IN THE FAR NORTH.

IN THE SOUTH...INSTABILITY IS PRESENT BUT IS WEAK...WHILE SHEAR AND
UPPER SUPPORT FOR PRECIP IS STRONG. THINK THAT ANY SVR WX WILL REMAIN
LIMITED...ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEAR SURFACE AIR NOT BEING THOROUGHLY
MIXED WHICH WILL HELP TO INHIBIT THE DOWNWARD MOMENTUM FROM
DOWNDRAFTS CARRYING HIGHER ENVIRONMENTAL WINDS FROM ALOFT. RAINFALL
HAS REMAINED BELOW FFG THUS FAR...AND THE SYSTEM LOOKS PROGRESSIVE
ENOUGH THAT ONLY MINOR PROBLEMS MIGHT RESULT.

IN THE FAR NORTH...THE PRIMARY QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT PRECIP WILL
OCCUR ONCE TEMPS GET COLD ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE A PROBLEM. CONFIDENCE
WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR AN ADVISORY...AND HAVE OPTED TO STICK WITH AN
SPS AND USE SLIGHT CHANCE WORDING FOR FREEZING RAIN. WILL NEED TO
MONITOR THE SITUATION...AND IF PROBLEMS DO DEVELOP...GET A WSW OUT
QUICKLY.

PRECIP WILL TAPER OFF FROM NW TO SE TODAY AS THE WAVE PASSES BY AND
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PROGRESSES SOUTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

SKY COVER LATE TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY IS ALSO IN QUESTION. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A THIN STRATUS LAYER PERSISTING MUCH OF THE TIME.
HOWEVER...IT WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH CHANGE IN THE SOUNDINGS TO ALLOW FOR
CLOUDS TO BREAK. THIS WOULD SEEM MORE LIKELY SUNDAY AS WINDS GO TO A
DOWNSLOPE SOUTHEAST DIRECTION. OBVIOUSLY...THE SKY COVER WOULD IMPACT
TEMPS...SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST LATE
SUNDAY...WITH SIGNIFICANT WARM/MOIST AIR ADVECTION GETTING UNDERWAY.
COULD BE A FEW SHOWERS FROM THIS BY EVENING IN THE FAR WEST.

.LONG TERM.../SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/

THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD BEGINS ON SUNDAY NIGHT WITH A
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN IN PLACE. A STRONG NEGATIVELY TILTED 500MB SHORT
WAVE WILL BE ADVECTING OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY. MODELS SEEM TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS SYSTEM. BY 06Z
SUNDAY NIGHT A GOOD 60 TO 70 KNOT LL JET WILL BE PRESENT OUT AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME GOOD DYNAMICS WITH THIS
SYSTEM. WHILE THE MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE NOT SHOWING ANY SURFACE BASED
INSTABILITY...THE AMOUNT OF SHEAR...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AND
SURFACE CONVERGENCE AVAILABLE WILL POSE THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS
SUNDAY NIGHT. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THESE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE
STRONG. ALSO WENT WITH SOME HIGHER WIND GUSTS ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND
INTO MONDAY. AN NPW MAY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED...ESPECIALLY WITH AS
STRONG A LL JET THAT WILL BE PRESENT.

IN THE MID RANGED EXTENDED...THE EURO SEEMS TO HAVE A MORE
CONSISTENT SOLUTION OVER THE PAST FEW RUNS COMPARED TO THE
INCONSISTENT GFS. THIS IS NOTICED IN THE INITIALIZATION. A BREAK IN
THE ACTIVITY SEEMS IN THE WORKS AS THE SYSTEM EXITS AND SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE NEXT
FEATURE OF CONCERN WILL DEVELOP BY THURSDAY WITH A STILL PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN IN PLACE BUT TAKING A SPLIT FLOW TYPE LOOK TO IT WITH A
CLOSED LOW OVER TX AND AMPLE MOISTURE FLOW INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AS A
SHORT WAVE TRAVERSES THE NORTHERN STREAM. THE MORE CONSISTENT MODEL
HAS BEEN THE EURO WITH THE INITIALIZATION LEANING TO IT A BIT MORE.
WITH A RATHER WARM PATTERN REMAINING IN PLACE...DID NOT SEE A
PROBLEM WITH ANY FROZEN PRECIP SO JUST WENT WITH SHOWERS FOR NOW.

OVERALL...THE WARM PATTERN CONTINUES WITH TEMPERATURES CONTINUING TO
BE ABOVE AVERAGE. HOWEVER...THE NAO AND AO ENSEMBLE MEANS SUGGEST
THAT A CHANGE IN THE PATTERN MIGHT BE IN STORE BEYOND DAY 7.

&&

.AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/...UPDATED

IFR STRATUS WILL LINGER ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH
SOME SHORT-LIVED RAISING TO MVFR WILL OCCUR AT SOME LOCATIONS BY
LATER THIS AFTERNOON. RIDGETOPS WILL REMAIN AT LIFR OR LOWER THROUGH
THE REST OF THE NIGHT. WINDS WILL VEER AROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST BY
SUNDAY MORNING...WITH STRATUS EVENTUALLY LIFTING UP TO MVFR AT ALL
LOCATIONS.
