Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 3:15 PM EDT, 3 hours 12 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 315 PM EDT THU APR 26 2012 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 314 PM EDT THU APR 26 2012 WITH INSTABILITY INCREASING AND CU FIELD REALLY INTENSIFYING...SPC HAS GONE AHEAD WITH A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR AREAS MAINLY TO THE SOUTH OF I-64. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP NOW...SO THE THREAT TO THE SOUTH SEEMS REASONABLE. STAY TUNED THIS EVENING FOR POSSIBLE WARNINGS WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 245 PM EDT THU APR 26 2012 COLD FRONT IS NOW BEGINNING TO PUSH INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY...EXTENDING FROM NEAR MOREHEAD...THROUGH RICHMOND. ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP OVER THE PAST HOUR ALONG THIS BOUNDARY...MAINLY IMPACTING AREAS NORTH OF I-64. PLENTY OF INSTABILITY IS IN PLACE ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S...GIVING SBCAPES AROUND 2000J/KG. IT LOOKS LIKE OUR CAP IS QUICKLY WEAKENING ACROSS THE STATE WHICH SHOULD GIVE WAY TO MORE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT HEADING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STILL LOTS OF SHEAR IN PLACE FOR ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS...CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THIS FRONT SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROGRESS STEADILY TO THE SOUTHEAST...EVENTUALLY CLEARING THE KENTUCKY BORDER BETWEEN AROUND 00Z. THIS WILL ESSENTIALLY END OUR SEVERE THREAT BY LATE EVENING. AS THE FRONT SETTLES SOUTHWARD AND THEN STALLS WELL TO OUR SOUTH TONIGHT...A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL ADVECT SOUTHWARD INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY. THIS WILL YIELD A COOLER NIGHT WITH LOWS WELL INTO THE 40S. A FEW OF THE COLDER VALLEYS COULD EVEN SEE SOME UPPER 30S. TOMORROW...WILL ALSO BE COOLER. THE FRONTAL ZONE IS MUCH SLOWER COMING BACK TO THE NORTH...SO OUTSIDE OF SOME HIGH CLOUDS...SHOULD BE A PLEASANT DAY WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND HIGHS IN THE 60S. BY TOMORROW NIGHT A SHORTWAVE PUSHING EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL HELP PUSH THE FRONTAL ZONE BACK TO THE NORTH. AT THIS TIME...NOT MUCH FORCING ALONG THE FRONT WITH ALL THE BETTER FORCING OFF TO OUR NORTHWEST. THUS...GOING TO KEEP POPS IN THE 20 TO 30 RANGE AS THE FRONT PUSHES NORTH. IF THE FRONT ENDS UP SLOWER...WE MAY HAVE TO WATCH A POTENTIAL MCS APPROACHING THE AREA BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY...BUT RIGHT NOW THIS APPEARS TO STAY NORTH OF OUR AREA. AFTER COOLING OFF QUICKLY WITH LOTS OF DRY AIR IN PLACE FRIDAY EVENING...TEMPERATURES SHOULD START TO INCREASE OVERNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT LIFTS NORTH. .LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 245 PM EDT THU APR 26 2012 GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO PAINT AN ACTIVE PATTERN IN PLACE TO START THE PERIOD WITH A WARM FRONT IN THE PROCESS OF LIFTING NORTH ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY ON SATURDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY. MODELS REMAIN IN SOME DISCORD WITH THE TIMING AND ULTIMATE LOCATION OF THE FRONT BUT A LOOSE CONSENSUS SUGGESTS THE FRONT WILL BE NORTH OF THE RIVER BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT BEGINS TO SWEEP ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH...WARRANTING A SOLID CHANCE OF SHOWERS ALONG WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER GIVEN THE TIME OF DAY/NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. BY SUNDAY...THE COLD FRONT LOOKS TO SETTLE SOUTH OF THE AREA BUT NEAR THE TN VALLEY WITH AN AMPLIFYING...TRANSIENT RIDGE MOVING THROUGH THE MS VALLEY AND INTO ERN KY. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE A BRIEF LULL IN ACTIVITY FOR SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...AND WILL TREND THE FORECAST IN THAT DIRECTION. MODELS BEGIN TO POINT TOWARDS THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL FLOW TAKING ON MORE OF A ZONAL APPEARANCE ACROSS THE CONUS BY MONDAY...ALONG WITH THE USUAL SPREAD IN TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE VARIOUS SHORT WAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW ALSO DEPICTED IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS. HAVE FOLLOWED A GENERIC BLEND OF THE GUIDANCE THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. THIS LEADS TO ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WINDING UP OVER THE PLAINS LATE THIS WEEKEND DRAWING THE STALLED COLD FRONT BACK NORTH AGAIN AS A WEAK WARM FRONT EARLY NEXT WEEK AND BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE AREA FOR MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THEREAFTER...THE PATTERN BECOMES FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE WITH TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN THE DETAILS TO MUSTER ANY REAL CONFIDENCE IN ANY ONE PARTICULAR SOLUTION...AND HAVE MAINTAINED A LOW END CHANCE POP THEME THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK BASED ON A BLEND OF THE INHERITED FORECAST AND A VERY LOOSE MODEL CONSENSUS IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID EXCESSIVE VACILLATION WITH THE FORECAST. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM A BLEND OF THE GOING FORECAST WITH THE CONSENSUS NUMBERS. GIVEN THE GOOD POSSIBILITY OF MORE CLOUDS THAN NOT THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH THE PERIODIC CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION...WOULD EXPECT A LIMITED DIURNAL CURVE ALTHOUGH GUIDANCE DOES POINT TOWARDS A NEAR NORMAL REGIME EARLY IN THE PERIOD GRADUALLY MODERATING THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS FOR THE BEGINNING OF MAY. MB && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 138 PM EDT THU APR 26 2012 STRATOCU CONTINUES TO SHROUD MUCH OF EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON AND DESPITE A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON...THE STRATOCU WILL LIKELY LINGER WELL BEHIND THE FRONT WITH DEWPOINTS STILL PLENTY HIGH BEHIND THE FRONT. THUS...FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN...WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE CIGS FLUCTUATE BETWEEN MVFR AND VFR THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. BY LATER THIS EVENING...A BETTER SURGE OF DRIER AIR WILL MIX OUT THIS CIGS...GIVING WAY TO VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL TRANSITION TO NORTHWEST THROUGH MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...THEN TAPER OFF THIS EVENING AND BECOME VERY LIGHT OUT OF THE NORTH. WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLING WELL TO OUR SOUTH...VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE SEEN THROUGH FRIDAY. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
