Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 7:44 PM EDT, 2 hours 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
744 PM EDT SUN JUL 8 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 744 PM EDT SUN JUL 8 2012

THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE ALONG THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY
SAGGING SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN KY THIS EVENING. STORMS HAVE GENERALLY
BEEN BELOW SEVERE THRESHOLDS BUT THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW REPORTS
OF WIND DAMAGE ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...INCLUDING 1.69 INCHES
IN 30 MIN OVER FLEMMING COUNTY FROM AN IFLOWS GAUGE. WILL CONTINUE TO
RUN WITH URBAN/SMALL STREAM ADVISORIES...BUT WE MAY NEED AN UPGRADE
AT SOME POINT IN THE NORTH WHERE HEAVY RAINS HAVE BEEN POUNDING OUR
BLUEGRASS COUNTIES FOR THE LAST FEW HOURS. NEAR TERM MODELS ARE ALL
DEPICTING ACTIVITY DIMINISHING AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH A LULL IN THE
ACTION UNTIL LATE MONDAY MORNING WHEN SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO REDEVELOP OVER THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 248 PM EDT SUN JUL 8 2012

A COLD FRONT STILL ALONG THE OHIO RIVER CONTINUES TO BE THE FOCUS FOR
THE PERIOD. CONVECTION HAS RAMPED UP IN THE LAST HOUR AND EXPECT THIS
ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING AND STRENGTHENING OVER THE COURSE OF
THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING AS THE FRONT SLOWLY SAGS SOUTH.
FCST SOUNDINGS STILL INDICATE A GOOD POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO OUTFLOW
WITH GUSTO AND WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT DAMAGING WINDS AS A PRIMARY
THREAT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. STILL CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT
SOME HAIL WITH ANY STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT GIVEN THE
PARAMETERS SEEN IN BOTH THE NAM AND GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS...THOUGH A
LACK OF SHEAR ALONG WITH RIDICULOUSLY HIGH WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS WOULD
SEEM TO PRECLUDE THIS THREAT. FINALLY...DESPITE THE PERSISTENT
DROUGHT CONDITIONS...ANTICIPATED DEEP WARM CLOUD PROCESSES COMBINED
WITH PWATS APPROACHING 2 INCHES COUPLED WITH SINGLE DIGIT FCST STORM
MOTIONS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WILL CERTAINLY PORTEND A THREAT FOR
LOCALIZED...SHORT FUSED HYDRO ISSUES.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE A RELATIVE NON ISSUE TONIGHT WITH LOWS AIMING
FOR THE LOW 70S....AND LOOK TO BEGIN RETURNING TO MORE NORMAL RANGES
ON MONDAY WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 90 FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN OVER A WEEK...AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 431 PM EDT SUN JUL 8 2012

A STALLED FRONT SHOULD BE NEAR THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE FORECAST
AREA AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...WITH SOME LIMITED DRYING OVER THE
NORTHERN END OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE DRIER AIR WILL STRUGGLE TO
MAKE IT ANY FURTHER SOUTHEAST INTO THE APPALACHIANS. THE FRONT IS
THEN EXPECTED BECOME MORE DIFFUSE AS TIME GOES BY DURING THE WEEK.
WITHOUT A CLEAN ARRIVAL OF A DRIER AIR MASS...POPS WILL LINGER FOR
MOST LOCATIONS DURING THE PERIOD...WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES IN THE
SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. TOWARD THE WEEKEND...FLOW AROUND SUBTROPICAL
HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR EAST WILL BE SENDING DEEPER MOISTURE BACK NORTH
OVER THE REGION...WITH A BIT HIGHER PROBABILITY OF PRECIP. HOWEVER...
WITHOUT STRONG FEATURES TO KEY ON...WILL NOT USE POPS ANY HIGHER THAN
CHANCE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 744 PM EDT SUN JUL 8 2012

VIGOROUS TSTMS WILL IMPACT MOST OF THE TERMINALS AT SOME POINT OVER
THE FIRST 6 HRS OF THE PERIOD WITH TEMPO MVFR TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS
POSSIBLE. WIND SHEAR WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN AS A COLD FRONT
CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA AS VAD WIND PROFILER
INDICATES SOME GUSTY NORTH WINDS AROUND 2 KFT...IN ADDITION TO THE
VARIABLE GUSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS. AFTER 06Z CIGS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN PREVAILING M/VFR...BUT FOG WILL BECOME AN ISSUE
BETWEEN 06-12Z AND COULD EVENTUALLY BRING IFR CONDITIONS OR WORSE TO
THE TAFS THROUGH DAYBREAK. SHRA AND TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
AGAIN DURING THE MORNING...AFTER 12Z AND LOOK TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD WITH CONDITIONS VARIABLE BETWEEN VFR OUTSIDE
OF ANY STORMS...AND IFR IN AND AROUND ANY STORMS.
