AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
110 AM EST SAT JAN 21 2012

.SHORT TERM.../THE REST OF TONIGHT/

02Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A FRONT AND ITS VERY TIGHT BAROCLINIC ZONE
LAYING SOUTHWEST THROUGH NORTHEAST ACROSS KENTUCKY...ATTM. THE
COLDER AIR IS HOLDING STEADY OVER THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE STATE
WHILE WARM AIR REMAINS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN KENTUCKY.
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA RANGE FROM RIGHT AT FREEZING IN FAR
NORTHERN FLEMING COUNTY TO THE NORTHWEST...WHILE LOWER 50S ARE
REPORTED IN THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY WEST OF INTERSTATE 75 AND NEARER TO
THE TENNESSEE BORDER. FOR THE MOST PART...MID AND UPPER 30S COVER
THE AREA NORTH OF A LINE FROM IRVINE THROUGH JACKSON AND EAST TO
PIKEVILLE. MEANWHILE TO THE SOUTH OF THIS LINE...40S ARE FOUND.
PATCHES OF MAINLY LIGHT RAIN HAS BEEN CROSSING THE AREA THROUGH THE
EVENING BUT LEAVING BEHIND LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ACTUAL QPF. THESE
HAVE SERVED TO HELP MOISTEN THE INITIALLY DRY AIR MASS IN PLACE AND
YIELDED SOME TEMPORARY WET BULBING. DEWPOINTS THROUGH THE AREA NOW
RANGE FROM THE MID 20S IN THE NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA TO
NEAR 50 IN THE SOUTHEAST.

THE TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN STEADY OR
INCREASE IN ALL PLACES THROUGH THE NIGHT AS A SFC WAVE FROM THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS RIDES NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT AND THROUGH EAST
KENTUCKY LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. AS THIS DOES SO...
SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BLOSSOM OVER THE
AREA FED BY UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE FROM A PASSING 300 MB JET STREAK
AND A HEALTHY LOW LEVEL JET BRINGING WITH IT GULF MOISTURE. ALTHOUGH
INSTABILITY IS LIMITED...THE WIND PROFILE LOOKS SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY IN THE FAR SOUTH. HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THIS
CONCERN AND THE MAIN THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS IN THE HWO.

THE OTHER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ICING IN OUR FAR NORTHWEST
ZONES...REALLY JUST THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THESE ZONES...TONIGHT
AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THE DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM WILL PUSH
WARM AIR OVER THE COLD STILL IN PLACE TO THE NORTHWEST RESULTING IN A
STRONG POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN TO OUR NORTHWEST. THE PRIMARY
TIMING FOR THIS WILL BE LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING WHEN
THE WINDS SWITCH TO THE NORTHWEST AND TRY TO BRING IN THE COLD AIR AT
THE SURFACE. ALSO...THOUGH...A NAGGING CONCERN IS THE POCKETS OF SUB
FREEZING AIR THAT MAY REMAIN OVER NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE CWA
THIS EVENING. EITHER WAY...THE ROAD TEMPERATURES APPEAR TO BE WELL
ABOVE FREEZING IN AND AROUND THE AREA OF CONCERN AND THE WARM LAYER
IS SO WARM THAT THE RAIN WILL LIKELY DRAG THAT WARMTH TO THE SFC
MITIGATING ANY LINGERING COLD POCKETS OR BOUNDARY LAYER LATE NIGHT
CAA FURTHER LIMITING THE FREEZING RAIN POTENTIAL...BUT IT WILL BE
CLOSE.

ACCORDINGLY...HAVE CONTINUED TO GO WITH AN SPS FOR THIS NEAR MISS.
HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE LATE NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING CONCERN
AND ALSO MENTIONED METAL RAILINGS AND ELEVATED SURFACES AS A PLACE OF
POTENTIAL...IF VERY LIMITED...IMPACT. REGARDLESS...THIS WILL BE A
SITUATION THAT REQUIRES CAREFUL MONITORING OF THE RADAR AND SFC
TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. UPDATES TO THE GRIDS AND TEXT
PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/

TIGHT BAROCLINIC ZONE REMAINS ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY...WITH LOWER
50S IN PORTIONS OF THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY...AND AROUND 30 IN EXTREME
NORTHERN FLEMING COUNTY. A STATIONARY FRONT IS ALIGNED FROM CENTRAL
TENNESSEE DOWN THROUGH THE ARKLATEX REGION...WHERE A SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE RESIDES. THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH BRINGING THIS
LOW PRESSURE UP THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS BY SATURDAY MORNING. A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL JET WILL
SLING PLENTY OF MOISTURE INTO THE AREA LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING. THIS WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TO THE
AREA...WITH A SLIGHT POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY WORKS THROUGH THE AREA IN THE 06 TO 15Z TIME FRAME. THE
WINDS WILL BE STRONG JUST OFF OF THE SURFACE...SO THERE IS A SMALL
POTENTIAL OF SOME LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS WITHIN ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT
FORM...ESPECIALLY IN THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY. WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS IN
THE HWO.

THE OTHER CONCERN IS HOW FAST IT WARMS NORTH OF I-64. FGX IS STILL
HOLDING AT AROUND 28 DEGREES. VERY WARM AIR WILL BE ADVECTING IN
BETWEEN 850 AND 925 MB DURING THE MAIN PRECIPITATION EVENT...SO THIS
SHOULD BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO KEEP GROUND TEMPERATURES WARM
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT JUST PLAIN RAIN. THE ONLY FLY IN THE OINTMENT IS
ANY LIGHT PRECIPITATION SNEAKING IN BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z. LOOKING AT
SOME OF THE ROAD SENSORS AVAILABLE REVEALS GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE
ACTUALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S...LENDING MORE CONFIDENCE THAT ANY
GLAZING POTENTIAL AT ONSET WILL BE FAIRLY ISOLATED AND MAINLY
RESTRICTED TO NORTHWESTERN FLEMING COUNTY. STILL...WILL ISSUE AN SPS
TO HIGHLIGHT THIS CONCERN GENERALLY NORTH OF THE I-64 THROUGH THIS
EVENING.

RAIN SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL TRANSITION INTO LIGHT
RAIN AND GRADUALLY END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST SATURDAY
MORNING...WITH SHORT WAVE RIDGING BUILDING IN...KEEPING SATURDAY
NIGHT CLOUDY...BUT DRY.

FOR TEMPERATURES...HAVE USED MORE OF AN ADJUSTED RAW MODEL
TEMPERATURE TRACE OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS...MAINLY TO ACCOUNT FOR
LIKELY RISING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND THEN A DRASTIC COOL
DOWN FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ON SATURDAY AS WINDS VEER TO THE
NORTHWEST AND NORTH AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY.

.LONG TERM.../SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/

SOMEWHAT BETTER AGREEMENT IN EXTENDED MODEL RUNS TODAY...
PARTICULARLY EARLY ON. DIFFERENCES STILL SHOW UP IN TIMING AND
STRENGTH OF MORE MINOR IMPULSES IN CORE WESTERLY FLOW AND RESULT IN
A LOWER CONFIDENCE FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE EXTENDED. OUR TYPICAL
BLEND OF MODEL CONSENSUS AND OFFICIAL FORECAST SHOULD RESULT IN A
FAIRLY REASONABLE SOLUTION.

SHORT WAVE RIDGING OVER THE TN AND OH VALLEY REGION GIVES WAY TO A
DEEP TROUGH MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY
IN THE PERIOD. PREVIOUS FORECASTS HAVE HAD A DECENT HANDLE ON THIS
FIRST SYSTEM OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AS A RESULT INCREASED
POPS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WITH HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN TIMING.
SHORTWAVE RIDGING BUILDS BACK OVER THE REGION BRIEFLY IN VERY
PROGRESSIVE BUT MORE AMPLIFIED FLOW TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
FURTHER WEST ANOTHER DEEP TROUGH PASSING THROUGH THE ROCKIES SPLITS
AS SOUTHERN ENERGY DEVELOPS INTO A CUT OFF LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN
TEXAS...MEXICO BORDER. DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AND STRENGTH OF
NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY ADDS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DOUBT TO
THE FORECAST. THINGS DO NOT GET ANY BETTER GOING INTO DY7...FRIDAY
AS THE 0Z ECMWF AND 12Z GFS ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF PHASE OVER OUR
REGION. THE GFS WANTS TO BRING THE AFOREMENTIONED CUTOFF LOW BACK UP
INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY BY FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING
OVERHEAD FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE MAIN LOW. THE ECMWF KEEP THE LOW OVER
TEXAS AND SWINGS A MORE SIGNIFICANT NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH THROUGH
OUR AREA BY FRIDAY.

CONCERNING TEMPERATURES...THE UNSEASONABLY WARM TREND CONTINUES FOR
NOW. HOWEVER...ENSEMBLES SUGGEST SOME CHANGES MAY BE ON THE WAY AS
AO INDICES ARE FORECAST TO GO SHARPLY NEGATIVE AND THE NAO INTO A
MORE NEUTRAL RANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY. THESE
SIGNALS MAY BE ENOUGH TO OVERRIDE THE LARGER AND CURRENTLY WARMER
ENSO SIGNAL...AT LEAST ON AN INTRASEASONAL TIME SCALE. THIS WOULD
SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT COLD AIR OUTBREAKS FOR
THE END OF JANUARY AND/OR FEBRUARY. CONSEQUENTLY AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES MIGHT REVERT BACK TO MORE NORMAL LEVELS BY THE
BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY.

&&

.AVIATION.../06Z TO 06Z/...UPDATED

NEARLY ALL OF EAST KENTUCKY WILL BE SPARED THE ICY PORTION OF THIS
DEVELOPING WINTER STORM OVERNIGHT. THE ONLY CONCERN IS FOR LOCATIONS
RIGHT ALONG THE BLUEGRASS AND CLOSEST TO THE OHIO RIVER WHERE SOME
LOW LEVEL COLD AIR AND SUB FREEZING TEMPERATURES MAY MOVE IN TOWARD
DAWN WHEN THE WINDS SWITCH TO THE NORTHWEST FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF
A COMPACT SFC LOW THROUGH EAST KENTUCKY. OTHERWISE...MORE TYPICAL
WARM SEASON CONCERNS OF LOW CIGS...VIS...CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL...AND
WINDS ALOFT WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUES FOR THE BULK OF THE AREA.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BLOSSOMED THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL
KENTUCKY AND ARE MOVING EAST NORTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA. THIS
WARM SECTOR CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE
NIGHT. LATER ON...THE CONVECTION WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST FROM DAWN
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...THOUGH A PERIOD OF LIGHTER RAIN WILL
FOLLOW. EXPECT CIGS TO DROP FROM THEIR CURRENT MVFR LEVELS TO IFR FOR
A TIME LATE TONIGHT AND REMAIN THERE FOR MUCH OF SATURDAY MORNING...
AS THE LOW AND FRONT MOVES EAST...BEFORE LIFTING A BIT INTO THE
AFTERNOON. DURING THE RAIN OR STORMS...VIS WILL ALSO BE DOWN IN THE
MVFR AND IFR CATEGORIES. WINDS WILL PICK UP FROM THE SOUTH LATER
TONIGHT AT THE SFC...BECOMING RATHER BREEZY FROM THE SOUTHWEST TOWARD
DAWN. ALOFT...THE WINDS ARE MOVING EVEN FASTER...UP TO 50 KTS...JUST
OFF THE SFC...FROM THE WEST SOUTHWEST AND THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
DAWN SATURDAY. ACCORDINGLY...HAVE MAINTAINED THE LLWS IN THE TAFS.
THE WINDS WILL THEN LOOK TO SETTLE DOWN DURING THE DAY SATURDAY
BLOWING FROM THE NORTH AT AROUND 5 KTS.
