AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1237 PM EST TUE JAN 17 2012

.SHORT TERM.../THE REST OF TODAY/

CURRENT SYNOPTIC SET UP AS OF 15Z THIS MORNING HAS THE COLD FRONT
STILL PLACE FROM A LINE FROM NORTHEAST IN SOUTHWEST ALONG THE OHIO RIVER AND
INTO EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN MO. SOUTHWEST WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE AREA
HAVE BEEN IN THE UPPER 30S WITH SUSTAINED IN THE 20S. THE LL JET IS
STILL TRACKING THROUGH THE AREA AND MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT THE
AREA COULD STILL SEE SOME LAKE WIND CRITERIA GUSTS SO ISSUED A LAKE
WIND TILL 10PM. FROPA SEEMS TO BE AROUND 00Z AND WILL LIKELY GET A
FEW GOOD GUSTS SO CANXING IT BY 10PM SEEMS LIKE A GOOD TIMING.
WATER VAPOR SHOT SHOWS A GOOD BIT OF DRY AIR STREAMING NORTHEAST INTO
THE AREA. BECAUSE OF THIS....SHOWER ACTIVITY IN THE WARM SECTOR HAS
BEEN SPOTTY AT BEST SO WENT WITH AERIAL ON THE FORECAST WITH A LOW
POP AREA THROUGH 18Z UNTIL THE THE MAIN AREA OF PRECIP JUST AHEAD OF
THE FRONT TO THE NORTHWEST MOVES THROUGH.

WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE LINE OF STORMS TO THE NORTHWEST.
CLOUD COVER LOOKS EXTENSIVE ENOUGH THAT NO BREAKS ARE POSSIBLE BUT
THE WAA FORECASTED TODAY MAY LEAVE EAST KY ENVIRONMENT JUST
SUSTAINABLE FOR THOSE STORMS TO MAINTAIN SOME STRENGTH WHILE MOVING
THROUGH. SO ADJUSTED POPS FOR THIS...ISSUED THE NPW...AND THE ZONES
ARE SENT.

THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

/TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

EARLY THIS MORNING A RATHER ZONAL PATTERN WAS IN PLACE ACROSS THE
CONUS WITH A BIT OF RIDGING EXTENDING FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO NORTH
INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES WERE
MOVING EAST IN THE ZONAL FLOW...ONE WAS APPROACHING THE MID MS
VALLEY AND OH VALLEY REGIONS WHILE ANOTHER MORE POTENT ONE WAS
UPSTREAM MOVING FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY
REGION. AT THE SFC HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED NEAR BERMUDA. MEANWHILE
A PART SFC LOW WAS OVER QUEBEC WITH A FRONTAL ZONE EXTENDING SOUTH
SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES TO SFC LOW PRESSURE OVER
NORTHERN IL. THE FRONTAL ZONE THEN CONTINUED SOUTHEAST INTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS.

A FEW SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES AND EVEN A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE WORKING EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND EASTERN KY
EARLY THIS MORNING IN THE WARM SECTOR. TEMPERATURES WERE VERY MILD
FOR MID JANUARY RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S TO THE UPPER 40S ACROSS
THE HEIGHT TERRAIN ABOVE 2000 FEET TO THE 50S ELSEWHERE. THESE
READINGS ARE ON THE ORDER OF 10 OR MORE DEGREES F ABOVE NORMAL HIGHS
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. CONVECTION REMAINED A BIT MORE ORGANIZED OVER
IN SOUTH INTO WESTERN AND WEST CENTRAL TN IN ADVANCE OF AN
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE WHILE CLOSER TO THE SFC LOW OVER NORTHERN IL
AND THE COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH ACROSS MS AND INTO THE PLAINS
RATHER STRONG CONVECTION BY JANUARY STANDARDS HAS DEVELOPED
OVERNIGHT.

THE SFC LOW NOW OVER NORTHERN IL IS EXPECTED TO TRACK TO NEAR TORONTO
ONTARIO BY EARLY THIS EVENING...TRACKING ACROSS THE ST LAWRENCE
VALLEY TONIGHT AND REACH THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON WED. THE MORE
SOUTHERN SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA AROUND OR SHORTLY
AFTER DAWN WITH THE STRONGER SHORTWAVE TRACKING INTO THE GREAT LAKES
THIS AFTERNOON AND REACHING THE MARITIMES BY WED AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...THE COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTH FROM THE SFC LOW IS EXPECTED
TO ENTER THE COMMONWEALTH THIS MORNING AND CROSS EASTERN KY DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. SOME WARM ADVECTION IS
EXPECTED IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...WITH TEMPERATURES POSSIBLY
REACHING NEAR 60 DEGREES DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT AT THE SAME TIME
CLOUD COVER WILL REMAIN RATHER EXTENSIVE. UPSTREAM CONVECTION
INCLUDING THUNDER NOW AND PROJECTED WEAK INSTABILITY
TODAY...ESPECIALLY JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT ARGUE FOR AT LEAST
ISOLATED THUNDER BEING MENTIONED TODAY. WINDS ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN STRONG TODAY AND IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT THE STRONGEST
THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH. THE
LATEST SPC DAY ONE OUTLOOK KEEPS THE REGION IN GENERAL THUNDER
OUTLOOK FOR TODAY WITH A 5 PERCENT PROBABILITY FOR WIND GUSTS GREATER
THAN OR EQUAL TO 50KT EXTENDING INTO LOCATIONS GENERALLY ALONG AND
WEST OF THE I 75 CORRIDOR. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE CARRIED NEAR 100 PERCENT
POPS FOR TODAY...CHANCES APPEAR BEST EARLY ON THROUGH ABOUT 15Z WITH
THE SHORTWAVE PASSING BY. THERE COULD BE A LULL FROM LATE MORNING
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN CONVECTION IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD
FRONT SHOULD MOVE INTO THE REGION OR DEVELOP...EXITING THE REGION BY
EARLY IN THE EVENING. GIVEN THE RATHER STRONG WIND FIELDS ALOFT WIND
GUSTS TODAY COULD GUST AS HIGH AS 30 AND 35 MPH DURING THE DAY TODAY
AND BRIEF GUST STRONGER THAN THAT IS POSSIBLE IN ANY STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THIS IN MIND HAVE INCLUDED A GUSTY WIND ATTRIBUTE
TO THE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WX GRIDS AND PLAN TO INCLUDE
THIS IN THE ZFP AND HWO.

TONIGHT...COLDER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT DEEPER
MOISTURE WILL ALSO BE DEPARTING FROM THE REGION. MODEL GENERALLY HAVE
SHALLOW MOISTURE REMAINING IN TEMPS BETWEEN -5C AND -12C WHICH SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW FLURRIES OR LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS TO MIX IN
BEHIND THE FRONT AS LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME INCREASINGLY UPSLOPE.
HOWEVER...DUE TO THE VERY LIMITED MOISTURE THIS SHOULD NOT AMOUNT TO
MUCH WITH AT MOST A DUSTING FROM THIS ON THE RIDGES OF SOUTHEASTERN KY
BY DAWN ON WED. THE SHALLOW LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LINGER INTO WED
SO REMAINING STRATOCU AND WEAK NW UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT
TO SQUEEZE OUT A FEW FLURRIES IN LOCATIONS GENERALLY EAST OF
INTERSTATE 75.

AS FOR TEMPS...MAX TEMPS TODAY SHOULD AVERAGE ABOUT 15 DEGREES F
ABOVE NORMAL. COLD ADVECTION WILL LEAD TO MIN T CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR
MID JANUARY BY DAWN ON WED. BEHIND THE FRONT ON WED...THE AIRMASS
IS EXPECTED TO LEAD TO 8H TEMPS OF -8C TO -11C...WHICH SHOULD YIELD
MAX T IN THE MID AND UPPER 30S ON AVERAGE...OR 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

.LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/

OVERALL...THE EXTENDED PART OF THE FORECAST WILL SEE ANOTHER LONG
PERIOD OF SOMEWHAT MILD WEATHER. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY THE NAO
TURNING BACK POSITIVE ONCE AGAIN. HOWEVER...WITH THAT SAID...MAY
STILL BE ENOUGH COLD AIR AROUND EARLY IN THE PERIOD TO PERHAPS LEAD
TO SOME MIXED PRECIPITATION ISSUES THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.
OTHERWISE...THE PRIMARY PRECIPITATION TYPE FROM FRIDAY ONWARD WILL
BE RAIN AS THE MILD WEATHER STRENGTHENS OVER THE AREA. MODELS ARE
ALL IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND WITH A VERY
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN SETTING UP (MUCH LIKE WE HAVE SEEN THIS WINTER).
THIS WILL YIELD SEVERAL PERIODS OF UNSETTLED WEATHER INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

AS FOR THE FORECAST ITSELF...INITIAL CONCERNS SURROUND THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT AS A FAST MOVING ALBERTA CLIPPER PUSHES EAST ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES...DRAGGING A WEAK WARM FRONT ACROSS THE AREA ON
THURSDAY. AT THIS POINT...MOISTURE IS FAIRLY ELEVATED (ABOVE
10KFT)...BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE TO SEE SOME FLURRIES OR
SPRINKLES. DAYTIME HIGHS MAY BE TEMPERED BY ANY CLOUD COVER...AND
THIS COULD SUPPORT FLURRIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BY THURSDAY
NIGHT...THE CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL SEND A COLD FRONT SOUTH ACROSS THE
AREA...PROVIDING A BETTER SHOT OF OMEGA AND PROVIDING A SLIGHTLY
BETTER CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS. AT THIS POINT...THE
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE BRIEF AND QUICK HITTING...AND WITH
TEMPERATURES HOLDING IN THE 30S THROUGH THE EVENING...NOT REALLY
EXPECTING ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION PRESENTLY...BUT IT CANNOT BE RULED
OUT YET. AS THE DEEPER MOISTURE PEELS OUT OVERNIGHT...SOME SHALLOW
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST...WHICH MAY
SUPPORT A PERIOD OF DRIZZLE. WITH LOWS EXPECTED TO DIP JUST UNDER
FREEZING...THE POSSIBILITIES OF FREEZING DRIZZLE WOULD EXIST. THIS
PERIOD OF DRIZZLE SHOULD END CLOSE TO DAYBREAK...SETTING UP A QUIET
START TO FRIDAY...ALTHOUGH ANY FREEZING DRIZZLE OR SNOW SHOWERS
THURSDAY NIGHT COULD LEAD TO A FEW SLICK SPOTS EARLY IN THE MORNING.

BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY FRIDAY NIGHT...ISENTROPIC ASCENT
WILL RAMP UP AS A SHORTWAVE PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
THIS WILL ALLOW MILD WEATHER TO FLOOD INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY
WITH ISENTROPIC ASCENT LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF RAIN...WHICH
WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

A BIT MORE UNCERTAINTY PRESENTS ITSELF THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS TO WHEN THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN
MIGHT ARRIVE. THE 12Z ECMWF HAD ANOTHER SYSTEM ARRIVING ON
MONDAY...BUT THE 00Z ECMWF HAS BACKED OFF THIS SYSTEM AND IS NOW DRY
FOR THIS PERIOD. STILL WARRANTS A CHANCE FOR RAIN...BUT THIS PERIOD
REMAINS VERY LOW CONFIDENCE. PRIOR TO ANY SYSTEM EARLY NEXT WEEK THE
REST OF THE WEEKEND IS SHAPING UP DRY AND MILD.

&&

.AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/...UPDATED

A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM STRETCHING FROM NE TO SW IS APPROACHING FROM
THE WEST. THIS FRONT HAS PRODUCED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES
IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA...SO ANY STORMS ENCOUNTERED
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. WINDS AT 5K FEET
ARE AROUND 50 KTS. WHEN THE FRONT PASSES...IT WILL PROVIDE A SURFACE
TO BE ABLE TO TRANSLATE SOME OF THE HIGHER MOMENTUM WINDS DOWN TO THE
SURFACE. ATTM...CEILINGS ARE GENERALLY MVFR AT THE TAF STATIONS.
THERE MAY BE SOME TEMPO IFR CIGS NEAR THE STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS...HOWEVER THE POTENTIAL FOR LLWS IN AND NEAR THE
THUNDERSTORMS IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST HAZARD. THERE MAY BE SOME
SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT FOR A FEW HOURS...HOWEVER EXPECTING MOSTLY
MVFR WITH SOME TEMPO IFR ALSO POSSIBLE. THE FRONT SHOULD ENTER
FLEMING COUNTY AROUND 18Z AND MOVE ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY BY AROUND
02Z.
