AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1022 PM EDT WED APR 25 2012

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1015 PM EDT WED APR 25 2012

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO CROSS ERN KY THIS
EVENING. STRONGEST STORMS PRODUCING SOME LIGHTNING AND RADAR
ESTIMATED TENTH OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL PER HOUR. STORMS ARE MOVING
EAST...100 DEG...AT NEARLY 40 PH SO NO STORM IS PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN
RFOR ANY GIVEN LOCATION. PARENT LOW IS STILL LOCATED OVER WRN IL WITH
A WARM FRONT EXTENDING THRU ERN KY JUST NORTH OF LEX AND JUST SOUTH
OF JKL/PIKEVILLE. LOW PRESSURE SHOULD CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST WITH THE
WARM FRONT LIFTING TOWARD CVG AND PULLING MUCH OF THE PCPN NORTH OF
THE AREA. EXPECTING SRN KY TO SEE LITTLE ADDITIONAL PCPN WHILE NRN KY
WILL SEE ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHRA THRU MUCH OF THE NIGHT. SPEED OF
THE STORMS WILL LIMIT TOTAL ACCUMULATION. GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED
WITH EXPECTED POPS AND TEMPS. ZONES IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO UPDATE
REQUIRED.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 757 PM EDT WED APR 25 2012

UPDATED FOR SHRA CROSSING ERN KY. ACTIVITY SHOULD BECOME RATHE
PERSISTENT FOR OUR NRN COUNTIES AND SHOULD SEE BREAKS IN THE ACTIVITY
FOR THE SWRN THIRD. TEMPS ON TRACK BUT HAVE TWEAKED SLIGHTLY TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE EARLIER ONSET OF PCPN. NOT SEEING ANY LIGHTNING AND
HAVE DOWNGRADED THE THUNDER CHANCES. MAY NEED TO TAKE THEM OUT
COMPLETELY LATER TONIGHT. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 449 PM EDT WED APR 25 2012

TIMING OF CONVECTION APPROACHING FROM THE WEST AND FURTHER CONVECTION
ANTICIPATED LATER THIS EVENING AS WELL AS ASSOCIATED SKY COVER WAS
ADJUSTED BASED ON THE LATEST SAT AND RADAR TRENDS. OVERALL...THE 18Z
NAM HAS A DECENT HANDLE ON THE APPROACHING CONVECTION...BUT APPEARS
TO BE A BIT TOO SLOW. CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT 2 HOURS OR SO SHOULD
GENERALLY BE OVER THE SW CWA AND THEN PROBABLY BECOME FOCUS MORE TO
THE NE CLOSER TO THE WARM FRONT AND GREATER THETA AND DEWPOINT
GRADIENTS AS THE EVENING WEARS ON. CONVECTION THIS EVENING OR EARLY
TONIGHT IS STILL CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOME HAIL OR STRONG WIND GUSTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 325 PM EDT WED APR 25 2012

A WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY LIFT NE ACROSS THE CWA AND APPEARS
TO BE ABOUT TWO THIRDS ACROSS THE CWA AS OF 3 PM.

AS OF MID AFTERNOON...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER
MEXICO...AND EXTENDS NORTH INTO THE ROCKIES AND SOUTHERN PLAINS. WNW
FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES BETWEEN THIS RIDGING AND A TROUGH MOVING OFF
THE EASTERN SEABOARD. THERE APPEAR TO BE AT LEAST TWO DISTURBANCES
UPSTREAM...ONE ACROSS IA/MO AND ANOTHER OVER THE DAKOTAS. AT THE
SURFACE...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AS OVER IA WITH THE WARM FRONT
EXTENDING SE INTO THE COMMONWEALTH AND THEN ON OFF THE CAROLINA
COAST. THERE ALSO APPEARS BE ANOTHER SFC TROUGH OR AREA OF THETA
GRADIENT NEAR THE CURRENT CONVECTION OVER SOUTHERN IN AND WEST CENTRAL
KY.

OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...THE RIDGE AXIS WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT
EAST AS TROUGHING WORKS INTO THE WESTERN US WITH TROUGHING REMAINING
OVER THE NORTHEASTERN US. FLAT OR LOW AMPLITUDE RIDGING IS EXPECTED
TO BUILD EAST ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO
REACH WEST CENTRAL IL THIS EVENING AND THEN TRACK EAST ACROSS THE OH
VALLEY. THIS WILL SEND THE WARM FRONT ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION
THROUGH THIS EVENING...BUT THE BOUNDARY MAY NOT REACH THE WV BORDER
UNTIL OVERNIGHT. THEN AS THE LOW PASSES BY...THE COLD FRONT WILL DROP
SOUTH ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH VERY LATE TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY ON
THURSDAY. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD THEN BEGIN TO STALL OUT OF THE TN
VALLEY REGION. SFC HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BEGIN TO BUILD DOWN TOWARD
THE CWA FROM LATE ON THU INTO THU NIGHT.

THE EXACT EVOLUTION OF CONVECTION OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS IS
GENERALLY LOW CONFIDENCE. THE 12Z NAM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE TOO BAD
WITH PLACEMENT OF CONVECTION OVER WEST CENTRAL KY AT PRESENT. THIS
MODEL AND SOME OF THE RECENT HRRR RUNS AS WELL AS THE SREF POINT TO
CONVECTION ALSO DEVELOPING FURTHER NE NEAR THE WARM FRONT...POSSIBLY
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA...BETWEEN ABOUT 21Z AND 0Z AS
THE FIRST OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED SHORTWAVES APPROACHES THE AREA.
SOME OF THE MODELS TAKE THE CONVECTION TO OUR WEST TOWARD THE SW CWA.
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION SHOULD THEN DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF THE WARM
FRONT AND POSSIBLY EVOLVE INTO AN MCS WITH POSSIBLY BOWING SEGMENTS
SOMETIME DURING THE 3Z TO 9Z TIMEFRAME. AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET
AS THE SFC LOW APPROACHES WILL LEAD TO INCREASING SHEAR AND STRONGER
WINDS ALOFT. TIME OF DAY...GENERALLY LATE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT
IS NOT USUALLY FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE CONVECTION AND IT MAY TEND TO
WEAKEN OR BE LARGELY ELEVATED AS IT MOVES INTO OR DEVELOPS OVER THE
CWA LATE IN THE EVENING OR OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...SOME HAIL...POSSIBLY
LARGE...AS WELL AS GUSTY WINDS CANNOT BE RULED OUT. MOS GUIDANCE AS
WELL AS RECENT MODEL GUIDANCE AND SREF INDICATE THE HIGHER
PROBABILITIES FOR CONVECTION ACROSS THE NORTH AND NORTHEASTERN
CWA...BUT ENOUGH INSTABILITY SHOULD BE PRESENT FOR GOOD COVERAGE OF
CONVECTION EVEN AS FAR SOUTH AS THE TN LINE IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD
FRONT AS THE SECOND SHORTWAVE APPROACHES. OVERALL...INCREASED POPS A
LITTLE BIT MORE TONIGHT. MIN T TONIGHT WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO THE
ANTICIPATED CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP ACROSS THE AREA.

IN THE WAKE OF CONVECTION TONIGHT...THE SURFACE COLD FRONT SHOULD
GRADUALLY DROP SOUTH ON THU. SOME REDEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION SHOULD
OCCUR ALONG AND IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT BY MIDDAY TO EARLY AFTERNOON.
AT THIS POINT...IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE FRONT SHOULD DROP SOUTH OF
THE AREA ON THU NIGHT WITH AT LEAST SOME PARTIAL CLEARING ACROSS MOST
OF THE AREA...AND CONSIDERABLE CLEARING IN THE NORTH. AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY...MAX T SHOULD AVERAGE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. COLD
ADVECTION AROUND THE HIGH AND MORE IN THE WAY OF CLEARING THERE
SHOULD LEAD TO A NORTH TO SOUTH GRADIENT IN MIN T ON THU NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 325 PM EDT WED APR 25 2012

MODELS SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT WITH HAVING AMPLIFIED MID/UPPER LEVELS
BECOMING MORE DAMPENED BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODELS SHOWING A LITTLE
BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE DETAILS FROM FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...BUT
STILL HAVE SOME CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE
WEEKEND AND BEYOND.

THE PERIOD WILL START WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR
SOUTH...LEAVING EASTERN KENTUCKY HIGH AND DRY EARLY FRIDAY.
HOWEVER...A SHORTWAVE PUSHING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI
REGION WILL HELP BRING THE FRONT BACK TO THE NORTH DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL LIKELY SLIDE
SOUTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT EARLY FRIDAY...WHICH MAY KEEP THE BOUNDARY
ACTIVE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS MEANS...THE BEST THREAT FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTH EARLY ON. BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON...LACK OF FORCING ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE...WILL LIKELY
KEEP THINGS DRY...BUT WE COULD SQUEEZE OUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR
STORM ALONG THE FRONT. FRIDAY NIGHT...THE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT TO OUR NORTH...AND STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR
STORM...BUT ALL OF THE BETTER FORCING WILL BE WELL TO OUR NORTHWEST
DURING THIS TIME...SO NO NEED TO GO HIGHER THAN SLIGHT CHANCE AT
THIS TIME. BY SATURDAY MORNING...WE MAY NEED TO WATCH A POTENTIAL
MCS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AS IT COULD BRUSH THE NORTHERN HALF OF
KENTUCKY. THUS...BROUGHT IN SOME BETTER POPS SATURDAY MORNING INTO
EARLY AFTERNOON. REALLY TOUGH TO NAIL DOWN WHERE THE FRONT WILL WIND
UP BY THE TIME THIS MCS ACTIVITY DEPARTS BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...BUT
IT WILL LIKELY LIE ACROSS OUR REGION...LEADING TO CONTINUED CHANCES
FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND AND PERHAPS
EVEN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. GOING TO KEEP POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY
FOR THIS TIME PERIOD GIVEN LACK OF CERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST. THINGS
MAY EVENTUALLY DRY OUT...BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ON WHEN OR EVEN
IF THIS WILL HAPPEN. WITH A FLATTER MID LEVELS...A MORE PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN MAY SET UP LEADING TO MORE FREQUENT SHORTWAVES AND CHANCES
FOR RAIN. THUS...REALLY TOUGH TO GO DRY IN ANY EXTENDED PERIOD AT
THIS TIME. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES...WILL BRING IN A BETTER  GRADIENT
FOR FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...AND KEEP THINGS MORE IN LINE WITH
GUIDANCE BEYOND THAT WITH VERY UNCERTAIN PLACEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY.
A SHARP NORTH/SOUTH GRADIENT WILL LIKELY EXIST INTO NEXT WEEK WITH
THIS BOUNDARY AROUND OUR REGION.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 740 PM EDT WED APR 25 2012

SCATTERED SHRA MOVING FROM NW TO SE ACROSS ERN KY. THE GREATEST
PROBABILITY FOR CONVECTION STILL APPEARS TO BE FROM ABOUT 03Z-
10Z...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A KLEX TO KHAZ TO KLNP LINE.
THESE COULD BRIEFLY BRING CONDITIONS AS LOW AS MVFR ALONG WITH GUSTY
WINDS AND PERHAPS SOME HAIL OR AT LEAST HAIL ALOFT. ENOUGH SATURATION
SHOULD OCCUR NEARER TO THE COLD FRONT THAT WILL DROP INTO THE AREA
TONIGHT THAT AFTER THE 10Z TIME FRAME...SOME PREVAILING MVFR SHOULD
DEVELOP AND PERSIST FOR MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH CONDITIONS
RETURNING TO VFR FOR THE AFTERNOON.
