Area forecast discussion, Mar 2, 6:18 PM EST, 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 618 PM EST FRI MAR 2 2012 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 618 PM EST FRI MAR 2 2012 PLENTY OF SEVERE REPORTS ROLLING IN OVER THE PAST HOUR. HAVE SPED PRECIPITATION A BIT AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD COME TO AN END BY MIDNIGHT. UNTIL THEN...EXPECT THE SEVERE WEATHER TO CONTINUE AS PLENTY OF INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO FEED THESE STORMS. EXTENDED THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM WITH STRONG WINDS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT AS WELL. FLASH FLOOD THREAT STILL LOOKS REASONABLE WITH VERY INTENSE AREAS OF RAIN. UPDATED TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT TRENDS AS WELL. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 300 PM EST FRI MAR 2 2012 MAIN CONCERN IS STILL AROUND THE UNFOLDING SEVERE WEATHER AS IT MOVES INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS EVENING. PLENTY OF INSTABILITY AND SHEAR IS IN PLACE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...INCLUDING TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL...AND STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. BASED ON LATEST HI RES MODEL GUIDANCE...IT LOOKS LIKE THE STORMS SHOULD ARRIVE IN THE BLUEGRASS BETWEEN 5 AND 7 PM...WITH THE LINE OF STORMS PROGRESSING ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 6 AND 10 PM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WILL ALL THE INGREDIENTS PRESENT FOR A DAMAGING SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. FLOODING IS ALSO A BIT OF A CONCERN WITH ALL THE RAINFALL OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. HOWEVER...FORTUNATELY...THE ACTIVITY THIS EVENING SHOULD BE FAST MOVING AND HOPEFULLY LIMITING THE THREAT. REGARDLESS...PLAN TO KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH UP FOR THE TIME BEING. WILL ALSO KEEP THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY GOING UNTIL 7 PM WITH GOOD SYNOPTIC LEVEL WINDS OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. AS THE FRONT BLOWS ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL COLD AIR ADVECTION KICKS IN...WITH TEMPERATURES QUICKLY FALLING INTO THE 30S IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. IN ADDITION...SKIES WILL START TO CLEAR ACROSS THE AREA LATE. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A MUCH COLDER START TO SATURDAY. MUCH QUIETER AND COOLER WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED FROM SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING SETTING UP ACROSS THE AREA. .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY) ISSUED AT 300 PM EST FRI MAR 2 2012 MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES PROGRESS ACROSS THE AREA. THE FIRST ONE WILL ARRIVE MIDDAY SUNDAY...BUT WILL HAVE LIMITED MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. HOWEVER...WITH UPSLOPE WESTERLY WINDS...WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SQUEEZE OUT SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES. THE SECOND AND STRONGER SHORTWAVE IS PEGGED TO REACH EASTERN KENTUCKY SUNDAY NIGHT. WITH TEMPERATURES SETTLING BACK TO AROUND 30 OVERNIGHT...THE MAIN PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL END UP BEING SNOW. WITH UPSLOPE FLOW...COMBINED WITH WEAK FORCING ALOFT...WILL YIELD SOME LIGHT SNOW ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY. GIVEN THE FAVORABLE TIME OF DAY...WE SHOULD SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AS WELL. PERHAPS UP TO 2 INCHES IN THE HIGH TERRAIN...TO LESS THAN AN INCH IN THE VALLEYS. KAS MONDAY BEGINS WITH A SHORT WAVE DROPPING OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES. THIS SHORT WAVE HAS LITTLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH BUT THE COLD AIR TO BEGIN THE DAY WILL PUSH AVAILABLE MOISTURE BROUGHT FROM THE GREAT LAKES UPSLOPE WITH LIGHT SNOW EXPECTED EARLY THEN MIXING WITH AND CHANGING TO LIGHT RAIN. TEMPS WILL ONLY WARM INTO THE LOWER 40S. THEN MONDAY NIGHT WILL SEE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE ERN CONUS WITH RETURN FLOW AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE TOO LIGHT TO ADVECT MUCH WARM AIR AND TEMPS SHOULD DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S. AS DAYTIME WINDS INCREASE ON TUE THE SRLY FLOW WILL BOOST TEMPS INTO THE UPPER 50S. MODELS AGREE THAT THE SFC HIGH WILL EASE TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WITH THE NEXT FRONTAL BNDRY APPROACHING THE MISS RIVER VALLEY. WINDS WILL INCREASE ON WED AS TEMPS SOAR INTO THE LOWER 60S. THE MODELS DIFFER SLIGHTLY ON THE TIMING OF THE NEXT FRONTAL BNDRY WITH THE ECMWF BEING SLIGHTLY SLOWER. THE FRONTAL BNDRY IS ORIENTATED IN A MORE NE/SW FASHION AND DOES NOT BEGIN TO IMPACT ERN KY UNTIL THU. THE MOISTURE RETURN FROM THE GULF WILL CYCLE INTO THE SRN PLAINS AND THEN WRAP AROUND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...MOSTLY NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. EXPECT THE PCPN TO BEGIN IN EARNEST THU AFTERNOON WHICH WILL HOLD HIGH TEMPS TO ONLY THE LOWER 60S. THE ECMWF STALLS THIS FRONTAL BNDRY ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH WITH LIGHT RAIN CONTINUING INTO THE LAST OF THE WORK WEEK. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 618 PM EST FRI MAR 2 2012 SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ROLLING INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS EVENING AND FLYING IN AND OUT OF AIRPORTS IS NOT RECOMMENDED OVER THE NEXT 2 TO 5 HOURS AS THESE STORMS PUSH EAST. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE SOME VERY GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS SO WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT A TEMPO GROUP WITH 60 KNOT GUSTS. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. WE COULD SEE SOME PATCHY VALLEY FOG TOMORROW MORNING...BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS PRESENTLY. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
