Area forecast discussion, Jul 19, 3:10 PM EDT, 2 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
310 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 252 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMSPUSHING THRU NORTHERN KENTUCKY GENERALLY
NORTH OF THE MOUNTIAN PARKWAY. MODELS INDICATING THE BEST ACTIVITY
SHOULD BE THERE WITH NUMEROUS STORMS SOUTH OF THIS AREA. CURRENT
ACTIVITY SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY IS ISOLATED BUT THE AIR MASS
IS PRIMED AND READY AS SOON AS DAYTIME HEATING CAN PUSH TEMPERATURES
PAST CONVECTIVE INITIATION. ONCE THE FIRST STORM OCCUR...EXPECT
OUTFLOWS TO RAPIDLY EXPAND THE AREA OF COVERAGE. AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
PUSHING ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO RIVER VALLEY IS DRAGGING A COLD FRONT
INTO THE COMMONWEALTH. EXPECT ANY RANDOM ACTIVITY TO BECOME MORE
ORGANIZED WITH THE INFLUENCE OF THE FRONT. COLD FRONT APPEARS TO BE
PROGRESSIVE AND SHOULD BE THRU THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT WITH
MOST OF THE ACTIVITY CROSSING THE HIGH COUNTRY INTO THE VALLEYS OF
TN/VA/WVA. MAY SEE A FEW LINGERING SHRA IN THE FAVORED UPSLOPE REGION
OF BLACK MOUNTAIN FOR A BIT AFTER MIDNIGHT BUT RAINFALL WILL BE LIGHT.
BLOCKING BERMUDA HIGH WILL FORCE THE LOW PRESSURE UP THE EASTERN
SEABOARD AND WILL HANG THE FRONT OVER SRN TENN.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 258 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012

LONG TERM FCST LOOKS TO START QUIETLY BUT THE UPPER AIR TRANSITIONS
INTO NORTHWEST FLOW WITH NUMEROUS SHORT WAVES TRCKING OUT OF THE NRN
PLAINS TOWARDS ERN KY. TIMING OF EACH SHORT WAVE WILL BE PROBLEMATIC
AND WILL KEEP POPS MORE GENERIC UNTIL A CLEARER PICTURE BECOMES
EVIDENT. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE SRN PLAINS AT 50H AND THEN EASE TO THE LOWER MISS VALLEY. THIS
WILL FORCE MORE OF THE SHORT WAVE ENERGY FROM THE NORTHWEST FLOW
FARTHER NORTH WITH MOST OF THE ENERGY CROSSING THRU THE MIDWEST CORN
BELT NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. STILL ENOUGH ENERGY AND WARM...MOIST
CONDITIONS IN ERN KY TO KEEP THE THREAT OF STORMS...EVEN IF LOW
CHANCE...IN THE FCST. EXPECT MOST ACTIVITY TO BE DIURNAL WITH
AFTERNOON HEATING THE PRIMARY TRIGGER FOR CONVECTION.

WITH NORTHWEST FLOW DOMINATING...EXPECT HIGH TEMPS TO START NEAR
NORMAL AND THEN SLOWLY CLIMB AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES WITH THE BUILDING
HIGH PUSHING INTO THE OH/TN VALLEYS. BY MID WEEK HIGHS WILL CLIMB TO
NEAR 90 BUT THEN SHOULD NOT CLIMB MUCH HIGHER AS AFTERNOON CONVECTION
WILL STALL THE CLIMBING MERCURY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL REMAIN CONSTANT
IN THE LOWER 70S AS THE DEWPOINT TEMPS WILL CONSTRICT THE DROPPING
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.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.
