What 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 27, 3:34 PM EDT, 3 hours 49 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 3:34 PM EDT, 3 hours 49 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
334 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 308 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

HEAVIEST RAIN YESTERDAY AFFECTED THE FAR NORTHERN PART OF THE
FORECAST AREA...WHERE LOCALLY CLOSE TO 3 INCHES FELL. AS A RESULT 1
HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IN THIS AREA HAS DROPPED TO NEAR 1 INCH.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO MAINLY
AFFECT THE NORTH AGAIN THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. GOES SOUNDER DATA
SHOWS PRECIPITABLE WATER AROUND 1.5 INCHES...WHICH IS THE 75TH
PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS IS NOT AS HIGH AS THIS MORNING
WHEN SOUNDER DATA SHOWED AROUND 2 INCHES BUT IT IS STILL OF CONCERN.
THE NAM PW FORECAST SEEMS TO BE HANDLING THIS PRETTY WELL...AND STILL
FEEL UP TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN COULD FALL WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO. WILL
CONTINUE WITH FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR BATH...FLEMING...ROWAN AND
ELLIOTT COUNTIES THROUGH 4 AM SATURDAY.

OTHER CONCERN IS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL. WHILE MID LEVEL DRYING HAS
DECREASED THE OVERALL PRECIPITABLE WATER IT HAS ALSO INCREASED THE
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WIND GUST POTENTIAL. FAIRLY STRONG SHORT WAVE
TROF APPARENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WILL SWING THROUGH THE GREAT
LAKES AND OH VALLEY TONIGHT. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH SURFACE COLD
FRONT IS ALREADY RESULTING IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL
INDIANA. WHILE MOST OF THIS CONVECTION WILL BE MOVING INTO
OH...VISIBLE SATELLITE IS SHOWING BUILDING CU FROM SOUTHERN IL BACK
INTO MO...AND EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP FURTHER TO THE SOUTH
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

EARLY MORNING CONVECTION AND CLOUD HAS REDUCED DESTABILIZATION IN
EASTERN KY SO FAR TODAY...BUT GOES SOUNDER DATA SHOWS DESTABILIZATION
INCREASING ACROSS CENTRAL KY. AS WAS THE CASE YESTERDAY IT APPEARS THE
WINDOW FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL MAINLY BE LIMITED TO EVENING HOURS.

MODEL CONSENSUS IS TO KEEP A LOW CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
IN OUR FAR SOUTHEAST FOR SATURDAY.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 333 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

THE PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RIDGE CENTERED OVER
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS REGION WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH ALONG THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE WILL RETROGRADE A BIT TOWARD THE
WEST BY MON INTO TUE AND GENERALLY REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK. THIS WILL LEAVE THE REGION IN GENERAL NW FLOW ALOFT
BETWEEN THIS RIDGE AND THE MEAN TROUGHING ALONG THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. THE ECMWF AND GFS AND GFS ENSEMBLE ARE IN GENERAL OVERALL
AGREEMENT WITH THIS PATTERN...ALTHOUGH BY THE END OF THE PERIOD...THE
12GFS IS A BIT MORE AMPLIFIED OVERALL AND THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN HAS A
LITTLE STRONGER WITH THE RIDGE. PERIODIC DISTURBANCES IN THE NW FLOW
THAT AT TIMES MAY REINFORCE THE MEAN TROUGH NEAR THE EASTERN SEABOARD
FROM TIME TO TIME. AT THE SFC...HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE TO BEGIN
THE PERIOD WITH THE SFC RIDGE SHIFTING TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE
AREA BY MON.

THIS SCENARIO WILL LEAD TO THE THREAT OF GENERALLY DIURNAL CONVECTION.
MCS NOCTURNAL CONVECTION WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. CONFIDENCE IN TIMING
OF THE THE GREATEST THREAT OF NOCTURNAL CONVECTION IS NOT THAT HIGH...
ALTHOUGH SOME MODEL RUNS TO POINT TOWARD SOME OF THIS POSSIBLY OCCURRING
ON MON NIGHT. ONE OF THE STRONGER SHORTWAVES IN THE NW FLOW SHOULD
PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY REGION AT MIDWEEK WHERE IT MAY
STALL AND BECOME DIFFUSE LATE IN THE PERIOD. SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE
POPS WERE USED FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD FROM MONDAY ON.

AS FOR TEMPS...MAX TEMPS SHOULD AVERAGE NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WITH THE GREATEST DEPARTURE...SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL...IN
OVERNIGHT LOWS FROM TUE NIGHT ON.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 125 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

A COLD FRONT DROPPING INTO INDIANA COMBINED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL
WEATHER DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY
REGION WILL RESULT IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE OH VALLEY
THIS AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME EXPECT NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT
THE NORTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT TO BECOME LESS NUMEROUS
AND MORE SCATTERED AS THEY MOVE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
AREA TONIGHT. AS A RESULT WILL FORECAST VCTS AT JKL...BUT FOR NOW
LEAVE OUT ANY MENTION OF THUNDER AT SME OR LOZ. FOG IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT WITH MOSTLY IFR VISIBILITIES...EXCEPT MVFR AT
RIDGE TOP AIRPORTS. CEILINGS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOSTLY BE
MVFR...BUT THEN IMPROVE TO VFR BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.

.JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
