Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 11:15 PM EDT, 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1115 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1115 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

JUST A QUICK UPDATE TO CLEAR THE WATCH AS THE SVR THREAT IS QUICKLY
DIMINISHING OVER THE WATCH AREA. HOWEVER...WILL STILL NEED TO KEEP AN
EYE ON OUR SWRN COUNTIES FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR SO AS A CLUSTER OF
HEALTHY STORMS CONTINUES TO PUSH SE INTO THAT AREA. WINDS THERE STILL
LOOK TO BE GUSTING WELL BELOW SVR LIMITS...BUT 30 TO 40 KTS MAY YET
BRING DOWN A FEW TREES AROUND PULASKI...WAYNE...AND MCCREARY
COUNTIES. OTW...COLD FRONT STILL POISED TO BEGIN SWINGING THROUGH THE
AREA TOWARDS DAWN AND MAY TRIGGER A FEW SHOWERS OR EVEN A COUPLE
TSTMS AROUND DAYBREAK.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 911 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

UPDATED FORECAST TO ADD ANOTHER TIER OF COUNTIES TO THE WATCH. WINDS
CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH A GUST FRONT OUT AHEAD OF THE
STORMS BLOWING TO AROUND 50 TO 60 MPH. UPDATED PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN
SENT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 734 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

TSTMS MOVING INTO THE BLUEGRASS NOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WITH A
HISTORY OF WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. HAVE RAISED A SVR TSTM WATCH
OVER NERN KY THRU 3 A.M. SATURDAY AND THE CURRENT FFA LOOKS GOOD.
UPDATED PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.

&&

.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 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 734 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2012

TSTMS ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO NERN KY AT ISSUANCE
WITH HISTORY OF DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO MOVE SE OVER THE FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT AND JKL STANDS
THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING IMPACTS FROM THESE...WITH TEMPO IFR
POSSIBLE THROUGH 04Z. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT STORMS WILL DIMINISH
BY THE TIME THEY WOULD REACH LOZ AND SME...AND WILL ADVERTISE VC
GROUPS THERE THROUGH THE FIRST 6 HRS OF THE PERIOD.

FOG WILL BE A CHALLENGE TONIGHT BUT WILL HEDGE THAT JKL WILL SEE A
PERIOD OF IFR TOWARDS DAWN...IF NOT WORSE...GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED
RAINS. WINDS MAY STAY UP ENOUGH OVERNIGHT TO KEEP THE REMAINING TAF
SITES MIXED AND FREE OF ANY RESTRICTIONS FROM FOG UNLESS THEY SEE
APPRECIABLE RAINS.

THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA AFTER 12Z WITH
SOME LINGERING SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER FAR SERN KY DURING THE MORNING.
OTHERWISE...VFR SHOULD RETURN TO THE TERMINALS AFTER 18Z AND CONTINUE
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.
