AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
131 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 125 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY VERY ISOLATED FOR ALL BUT THE AREA NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 64. CLOUD COVER IS SUPPRESSING TEMPS BUT DWPTS ARE IN THE
LOWER 70S. GRIDS HAVE THIS WELL IN HAND WITH MOST RECENT UPDATES. NEW
ZONE FCST TO REMOVE MORNING WORDING.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 743 AM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

HOURLY POPS WERE ADJUSTED IN THE NEAR TERM TO ACCOUNT FOR DRY
CONDITIONS INITIALLY. HOWEVER...WITH JUST A LITTLE SUN...ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED CONVECTION SHOULD DEVELOP BY MID MORNING OR CONVECTION TO
OUR NW SHOULD ADVECT INTO THE AREA.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 454 AM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

NO UPDATE IS PLANNED TO THE ZONE FORECAST TEXT PRODUCT AT THIS TIME.
THE ESTF TOOL WAS RAN TO ESTABLISH TRENDS BUT NO OTHER CHANGES WERE
MADE TO THE FORECAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 AM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

THE FORECAST ISSUES FOR THE PERIOD TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE SLOW
MOVING THUNDERSTORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THE PRIMARY THREATS
WITH ANY STORMS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING. A FEW STORMS COULD
ALSO BECOME SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH STRONG WINDS AND HAIL
POSSIBLE. THE CHALLENGE FOR THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL BE TO
PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN AND WHERE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
FIRE...AND HOW SOON THE COMPLEXES OF STORMS THAT KEEP FORMING IN THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION WILL MAKE THEIR WAY INTO CENTRAL AND
EASTERN KENTUCKY. THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN
WARM...MOIST...AND VERY UNSTABLE TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. WITH NO
CAPPING TO SPEAK OF...ONCE THE SUN COMES UP AND THE SURFACE BEGINS TO
WARM...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BEGIN POPPING UP ACROSS EASTERN
KENTUCKY. THE STORMS WILL BE SCATTERED IN NATURE...WITH SOME AREAS
EXPERIENCING INDIVIDUAL OR CLUSTERED STORMS FROM TIME TO TIME. DUE TO
WEAK FLOW ALOFT...ANY STORMS THAT FORM TODAY WILL BE VERY SLOW MOVING.
AS A RESULT...IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT THE MOVEMENT OF THESE
STORMS. BECAUSE OF THIS LEVEL OF UNCERTAINTY...IT WAS DECIDED THAT
THE FLOOD WATCH THAT WAS ISSUED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON...WILL BE LEFT AS
IS. A COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS THE REGION ON
FRIDAY...BRINGING YET ANOTHER ROUND OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS
TO EASTERN KENTUCKY.

SCATTERED TO BROKEN MIDDLE AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH MID MORNING. WITH A WARM AND MUGGY AIR MASS IN
PLACE...AND WITH A GOOD DEAL OF SUN REACHING THE SURFACE THROUGH THE
MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS...TEMPERATURES TODAY SHOULD BE ABLE TO WARM
TO AROUND 90 BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL BE SEVERAL
DEGREES COOLER...AS THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA BY LATE
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST BEHIND THE FRONT...USHERING
COOLER AND DRIER INTO THE AREA. HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL MOST LIKELY BE
IN THE MID 80S ACROSS THE BOARD.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 353 AM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

THE PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH THE RATHER PERSISTENT RIDGE CENTERED OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS REGION AND THE REGION IN NW FLOW ALOFT AS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WORKS INTO THE APPALACHIANS AND TOWARD THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. EARLY IN THE WEEKEND...AN AXIS OF THE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO
EXTEND EAST INTO THE OH VALLEY REGION THOUGH DEEPER MOISTURE AND A
STALLED BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN CLOSER TO THE TN AND VA BORDER
COUNTIES...WITH SOME DRIER AIR PROGGED TO WORK INTO THE NORTH. BY
EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE FLOW WILL BECOME A BIT MORE NORTHWEST TO WEST
NORTHWEST AND THE REGION WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISTURBANCES MOVING
AROUND THE PLAINS RIDGE...THOUGH BY MIDWEEK THE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO
FLATTEN OUT SOMEWHAT AND BUILD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND GULF OF
MEXICO REGION. THIS PATTERN MAY ALLOW A BOUNDARY ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES EARLY IN THE WEEK TO PUSH SOUTH INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS.

WE CONTINUED WITH POPS EARLY IN THE PERIOD AS THE COLD FRONT EXITS
AND SHORTWAVE TROUGH WORKS ACROSS THE REGION. RIDGING SHOULD LEAD TO
RATHER MINIMAL CHANCES FOR CONVECTION OVER THE WEEKEND. SCATTERED TO
LIKELY POPS REMAIN IN ORDER FROM MON INTO WED...ESPECIALLY EACH
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. BY MIDWEEK...IF THE BOUNDARY IS ABLE
TO REACH AS CLOSE AS THE MID OH VALLEY/CENTRAL APPALACHIAN REGION
NOCTURNAL MCS ACTIVITY MIGHT ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY.

WITH THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE AND WARMEST AIR MASS REMAINING WEST OF
THE REGION AND EVEN AS IT TEMPORARILY BUILDS INTO THE OH VALLEY
REGION OVER THE WEEKEND THE WARMEST AIR MASS SHOULD REMAIN WEST OR
NORTH OF THE REGION AS HAS BEEN THE TREND RECENTLY. THIS SHOULD
YIELD MAX TEMPS NEAR TO A COUPLE OF DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...AND
SLIGHTLY GREATER DEPARTURES FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 135 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

WITH JUST A BIT OF DAYTIME HEATING...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS
HAVE STARTED TO DEVELOP AND SHOULD BECOME RATHER NUMEROUS BY THIS
AFTERNOON. THREATS WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE HEAVY RAIN WITH VIS AND
OR CIG POSSIBLY BRIEFLY DOWN AS LOW AS LIFR OR VLIFR. WITH LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING...CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR AROUND 00Z. MVFR
OR LOWER VALLEY FOG IS POSSIBLE TOWARDS MORNING.
