HALWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 19, 8:11 PM EDT, 2 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 19, 8:11 PM EDT, 2 hours 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 811 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 811 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 UPDATED TO REMOVE WATCH FROM OUR NE COUNTIES. HAVE ALSO LOWERED PRECIP COVERAGE THIS EVENING IN OUR N AND E WHERE CONVECTION HAS ALREADY BLOWN THROUGH AND LEFT A STABILIZED AIR MASS. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 252 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING THRU NORTHERN KENTUCKY GENERALLY NORTH OF THE MOUNTAIN 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/WV. 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 TRACKING 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 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 802 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012 VFR PRESENT AT ALL TERMINALS AT ISSUANCE...HOWEVER ANOTHER ROUND OF TSTMS OVER CNTRL KY IS ON PACE TO CLIP SME AND POSSIBLY LOZ AROUND THE 02-04Z WINDOW WITH TEMPORARY IFR CONDITIONS OR WORSE IN HEAVY RAIN. CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO THIN OUT AFTER 04Z...SETTING UP A POTENTIAL FOR FOG AT ALL TERMINALS BY 06-08Z WITH CIGS AND VSBYS POTENTIALLY DROPPING BELOW A/P MINS. OTHERWISE...VFR WILL RETURN AFTER 12Z BUT SCT TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN BY LATE MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD...WITH TEMPO IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AGAIN IN AND AROUND ANY STORMS. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
