AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
111 PM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 111 PM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

ACTIVITY HAS QUICKLY PICKED UP AHEAD AND ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE COLD POOL DROPPING IN FROM THE NORTH. LOTS OF ACTIVITY DEVELOPING
AND SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AS IT DROPS
SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA. LOTS OF INSTABILITY TO TAP INTO WITH
SBCAPE AROUND 5000 J/KG. THUS...LOOK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AS THE MAIN
THREAT WITH LARGE HAIL A SECONDARY THREAT. HRRR HAS MUCH OF THE
ACTIVITY EXITING TO OUR SOUTH AROUND 6 PM THIS EVENING WHICH SEEMS
REASONABLE AT THE CURRENT SPEED OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1157 AM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTH AND IS NOW BEGINNING TO PUSH
INTO FAR NORTHERN KENTUCKY. THE BOUNDARY HAS TURNED QUITE ACTIVE TO
THE EAST CLOSE TO CHARLESTON...BUT HAS NOT YET TURNED ACTIVE FURTHER
TO THE WEST. HOWEVER...WITH 5000J/KG OF SBCAPE DEVELOPING...I EXPECT
TO SEE SOME EXPANSION TO THE WEST ALONG THIS LINE AS WE HEAD THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE THREAT...SPC HAS ISSUED A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH THROUGH 7 PM TONIGHT FOR AREA MAINLY TO THE EAST
OF I-75. PEOPLE WITH OUTDOOR PLANS SHOULD STAY TUNED TO THE WEATHER
THIS AFTERNOON AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION. HAVE ALSO INCREASED
POPS TO LIKELY FOR THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS MOST AREAS SHOULD SEE
SOME PRECIPITATION.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 924 AM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

MCS DEVELOPED OVER SOUTHERN MICHIGAN EARLY THIS MORNING AND HAS
WEAKENED AS IT TRACKED SOUTH INTO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OHIO.
HOWEVER...THIS SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED A COLD POOL AND MCV WHICH WILL
CONTINUE TRACKING SOUTH INTO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AFTER THE
INVERSION BREAKS THIS MORNING...SBCAPE WILL SURGE TO AT LEAST 4000
J/KG AN POTENTIALLY HIGHER. WITH THE MCV DROPPING SOUTH DURING THE
PEAK HEATING...WE SHOULD SEE PRETTY DECENT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS CERTAINLY SUPPORTED BY THE HRRR AND RUC.
THUS...HAVE INCREASED POPS TO AROUND 40 ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY AND
MAY NEED TO GO EVEN HIGHER...BUT WILL WAIT TO SEE HOW THE MCV
DEVELOPS UPSTREAM BEFORE JUMPING ON BOARD COMPLETELY.
REGARDLESS...MUCH LIKE THE PAST FEW DAYS...ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
WILL EASILY BE CAPABLE OF 40 MPH WINDS AND NEAR THE STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS WINDS COULD REACH 60 MPH. THUS...THE MAIN THREAT WILL
BE DAMAGING WINDS. A FEW MORE ORGANIZED STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
HAIL...BUT I EXPECT THE MAIN THREAT TO BE DAMAGING WINDS. FORECAST
HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT ALL OF THESE CHANGES. DEPENDING ON HOW
FAST CONVECTION DEVELOPS TODAY...THAT COULD PUT OUR HIGHS A TAD LOWER
THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST. BUT FOR NOW WILL STICK CLOSE TO OUR PREVIOUS
FORECAST AND WAIT TO SEE HOW THINGS DEVELOP.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 640 AM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

MAINLY FRESHENED UP THE GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LATEST OBSERVATIONAL
TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 AM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

HEAT WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN STORY AS THE CENTRAL CONUS UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE EXPANDS MORE INTO THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS THROUGH
THE SHORT TERM. RECORD HIGHS WILL GET SQUASHED TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY
WITH READINGS RANGING IN THE 95 TO 100 DEGREE RANGE FOR MOST
LOCATIONS. WE HAD A FEW SPOTS EVEN IN THE EAST CREEP TO OVER A 100
DEGREE HEAT INDICES YESTERDAY...AND SINCE TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY
BE A DEGREE OR SO WARMER TODAY AND AGAIN ON FRIDAY...HAVE GONE AHEAD
AND EXPANDED THE HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE REST OF THE AREA. HAVE ALSO
EXTENDED THE ADVISORY THROUGH SATURDAY...AS READINGS LOOK TO BE
SIMILAR TO FRIDAY...WITH HEAT INDICES GENERALLY PEAKING IN THE 100
TO 105 DEGREE RANGE...WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER VALUES TOWARDS THE
BLUEGRASS AND WEST OF I-75.

THE CONVECTIVE TRENDS CONTINUE TO BE CHALLENGING THROUGH THE SHORT
TERM...HOWEVER GIVEN THE MORE LIMITED COVERAGE THAT OCCURRED
YESTERDAY AND THE LACK OF DEEPER MOISTURE AS WELL QUESTIONABLE
TRIGGERS THROUGH FRIDAY...ITS HARD TO REALLY ADVERTISE MORE THAN
ISOLATED POPS...SO HAVE STUCK WITH THIS IDEA FROM THE INHERITED
FORECAST. THE NAM HAS BEEN PLAYING UP A POTENTIAL MCS FOR
TONIGHT...HOWEVER GIVEN THE POOR CONVECTIVE INITIALIZATION...THERE IS
NOT MUCH CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO AT THIS TIME.

FOR TEMPERATURES...PRETTY MUCH ADDED A DEGREE OR SO FROM THE HIGHS
THAT WERE ACHIEVED ON WEDNESDAY FOR TODAY...AND THEN ANOTHER DEGREE
FOR FRIDAY. LOWS TONIGHT WILL GENERALLY BE BETWEEN 70 AND 75...WITH A
FEW SHELTERED VALLEYS DIPPING INTO THE UPPER 60S.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 352 AM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

FOR THE EXTENDED THE MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE
RENEWED UPPER RIDGE OVER THE MID SECTION OF THE NATION WILL BE
SHUNTED WESTWARD AND WEAKENED BY TROUGHING TO THE NORTHEAST STARTING
DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEKEND. HEIGHTS WILL FALL THROUGH
EAST KENTUCKY BEGINNING ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY WHEN THE
NORTHEAST TROUGH AXIS PASSES THROUGH THE REGION ACCOMPANIED BY AT
LEAST SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY. FOR WEDNESDAY...BOTH THE GFS AND LATEST
ECMWF HAVE PARKED A MINIMA OF HEIGHTS OVER EAST KENTUCKY IN RESPONSE
TO RIDGING BUILDING OVER THE WEST. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE CLEAR
PATTERN CHANGE THAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING AND HOPING FOR AND WILL
BREAK THE HEAT WAVE. SEVERAL RUNS IN A ROW HAVE CONFIRMED THE
BREAKDOWN AND RETREAT OF THE RIDGE SO CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY GOOD THAT
WE CAN TALK SERIOUSLY ABOUT TEMPERATURES RETURNING TO SEASONAL
NORMALS BEFORE TOO LONG INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK.

SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE ANOTHER VERY WARM DAY OR TWO OVER THE
WEEKEND WITH UPPER RIDGING LIKELY KEEPING ANY CONVECTION AT BAY ON
SATURDAY WITH A BIT HIGHER PCPN POTENTIAL ANTICIPATED FOR SUNDAY AS
HEIGHTS FALL ALOFT AND A WAVY SFC BOUNDARY CREEPS CLOSER FROM THE
NORTH. IT IS THIS BOUNDARY THAT HAS BEEN IN MOST DISPUTE AMONG THE
MODELS THESE PAST SEVERAL RUNS WITH THE GFS AND GEM PUSHING ITO
SOUTH INTO...AN IN SOME CASES THROUGH...KENTUCKY AS EARLY AS SUNDAY
EVENING. THE NEW...AND PREFERRED...ECMWF WILL SAG THIS FRONT INTO
OUR  PART OF THE STATE ON MONDAY PROPER AND HOLD IT THERE AS A PRIME
WEATHER FACTOR INTO TUESDAY. LATER ON FOR WEDNESDAY...IT FORMS A
WAVE ON THE BOUNDARY OVER EAST KENTUCKY THAT...SHOULD THIS OCCUR...
WILL CERTAINLY HEARTEN OUR HOPES FOR DROUGHT MITIGATING RAINS. HAVE
NOT BOUGHT TOTALLY INTO THIS SCENARIO AS OF YET...BUT DID GUIDE THE
GRIDS TOWARDS IT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CR POPULATION SCRIPT
STARTING POINT.

BY THE START OF THE NEW WEEK WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES
CLOSER TO NORMAL AND A RETURN OF DECENT CHANCES OF CONVECTION AND
MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL.

THE GRID LOAD CAME IN AS A PRETTY GOOD AMALGAM OF THE ECMWF AND GFS
SO ONLY HAD TO TWEAK THE POPS A TAD EACH DAY TO TILT THE SCALE MORE
TOWARD THE OVERSEAS MODEL AND ALSO ENHANCE THE DIURNAL NATURE OF THE
POPS. IN ADDITION...MADE SOME FINE TUNE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LOW
TEMPERATURES EACH NIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME TERRAN DETAILS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 640 AM EDT THU JUL 5 2012

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO REIGN ACROSS THE AREA THE MAJORITY OF THE
TIME. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE THIS
AFTERNOON...HOWEVER WITH THE LIMITED AREAL COVERAGE...WILL CONTINUE
TO LEAVE OUT THE MENTION IN THE TAFS. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND
VARIABLE THROUGH THE MID-MORNING...BEFORE ENGAGING OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST BETWEEN 5 AND 8 KTS DURING THE DAY...AND THEN DIMINISHING
TOWARDS DUSK.
