AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
647 AM EDT WED JUL 25 2012

...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.Short Term (Today through Thursday)...
Issued at 325 AM EDT Wed Jul 25 2012

...Hot and Humid Conditions Expected Today With A Severe Weather
Outbreak Possible on Thursday...

Morning IR satellite and surface observations reveal partly to
mostly cloudy skies across southern Indiana and central Kentucky.
Much of the cloud cover is generally high clouds from left over
convective debris from Tuesday evening's convection.  Temperatures
remained quite warm across the region with temperatures in the
lower-mid 70s in the east with upper 70s to near 80 in the
north-central and western sections.  Area radars are still active
this morning with two batches of convection. The first is over far
eastern KY with a secondary cluster starting to redevelop across
east-central Illinois.  Reinforced convective boundary looks to
exists from near Terre Haute southeast through eastern Kentucky.
Current thinking is that convection upstream over east-central
Illinois may hold together and drop southeast later this morning.
Thus, will keep low chances of PoP in the forecast for the
northern-northeastern third of the forecast area into the
mid-morning hours.

The latest multi-model consensus is in pretty good agreement with
the ongoing forecast thinking for today.  Upper level ridge axis is
forecast to build slightly eastward which should allow temperatures
to rise a bit higher than what we saw on Tuesday along with
providing a slightly stronger cap across the region.  With more
sunshine expected, temperatures are expected to soar into the upper
90s to near 100 in areas along and west of I-65 with lower-mid 90s
expected in areas generally east of I-65.  Some isolated convection
may develop late this afternoon, but feel the best chances of that
occurring would be well east of I-65.  With dewpoints remaining in
the upper 60s to around 70 this afternoon, we expect afternoon heat
indices to warm into the 105-110 degree range.  Current heat
advisory area still looks good at this time and will continue in
this forecast package. It should a bit more breezy today as the
pressure gradient increases slightly.  Southwest winds of 10-15 MPH
will be possible today with gusts up to 20 MPH. For tonight, any
convection that does fire will quickly die off after sunset.  It
looks to be a rather warm night across the region with temperatures
only dropping into the mid-upper 70s.

Thursday continues to look like an active weather day from
southern/western England southwestward through the Ohio Valley and
into the Ozarks.  Latest deterministic and ensemble data continues
to be in fairly good agreement with a fairly strong cold front
pushing into the region from the northwest Thursday
afternoon/evening.  As this cold front approaches, very
strong/impressive boundary layer heating/destabilization is forecast
to occur over the lower-middle Ohio Valley.  Afternoon temperatures
are likely to soar again into the middle-upper 90s across the
region...with some areas possibly approaching 100 degrees again.

Model proximity soundings continue to show a well mixed/deep
atmosphere with an inverted V type sounding.  Steep low-mid level
lapse rates combined with the afternoon heating and frontal
convergence will likely result in widespread convection developing
along the cold front to our northwest.  While the associated speed
max with the mid-level wave will pass well north of our area, the
latest data is still forecasting 25-35 knots of mid-level flow
across our region.  Convective mode still appears to be
multi-cellular convective clusters and bowing line segments.
Convection is likely to congeal into a large line by late afternoon
and then surge southeast toward our area...mainly affecting our area
Thursday evening.  This will need to be watched closely as the
potential for a widespread wind damage event looks increasingly
likely late Thursday afternoon/evening over portions of the Ohio
Valley.

.Long Term (Thursday Night through Tuesday)...
Issued at 305 AM EDT Wed Jul 25 2012

The flow aloft will be in transition from a ridge to a trough at the
start of the long term. At the surface, a low pressure system over
the northeastern CONUS will slowly drag a cold front through the
region Thursday night through Friday. Strong to possibly severe
storms will be ongoing along and ahead of this front with ample
daytime heating and bulk shear values of around 30 knots. As
mentioned in the previous discussion, there is a possibility the
clusters of storms may eventually evolve into a line and move
through the area during the overnight hours. The main threats with
these storms would be damaging winds and heavy rainfall as well as
dangerous lightning. With precipitable water vales near 2 inches,
the storms will likely produce very heavy downpours. Storms will end
from northwest to southeast on Friday.

In the wake of the front northwest flow will become established
aloft, with high pressure building in at the surface. Mainly dry
conditions will prevail Saturday and Sunday under this high
pressure. Monday through Tuesday a couple of disturbances will pass
near the area in the northwesterly flow, bringing another chance for
thunderstorms to the region.

High temperatures through this period will run fairly close to
normal, in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Lows will generally range
from the upper 60s to lower 70s.

&&

.Aviation (12Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 645 AM EDT Wed Jul 25 2012

VFR conditions are expected at the terminals today as surface and
mid-level ridging build back over the area.  Convective debris from
last night's convection will slowly clear from the region this
morning as southwest winds gradually pick up.  Convection should be
much more minimized this afternoon due to the increasing mid-level
ridging and capping.  Still can not rule out an isolated shower or
storm popping up, but feel that the best chances of this would be in
areas east of the I-75 corridor.  VFR conditions are expected
tonight and into Thursday morning with a light southwesterly surface
flow.
