AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1103 PM EDT THU MAR 15 2012

.Update...
Issued at 1104 PM EDT Mar 15 2012

Center of the MCV is sliding into eastern Kentucky, taking the more
widespread rain showers with it. However, new showers and storms
have developed in the wake of the MCV where mid level lapse rates
are rapidly steepening. A line of storms has developed across
southern Indiana to just south of Louisville that has been prolific
at producing lightning. Will need to continue to monitor storms for
small hail as low to mid levels cool rapidly and overall freezing
and wet bulb zero heights lower.

Scattered storms will gradually slide east across southern Indiana
and north central Kentucky through the next few hours, then focus
will shift to another convective complex just west of the
Mississippi/Ohio River confluence as it slowly slides east southeast
toward the area. Models show showers and thunderstorms gradually
weakening as they move toward the western CWA overnight, however
still expect scattered to numerous showers and storms to survive,
moving into areas west of I-65 between 3 and 7 am. The earlier side
of the window will be achieved if storms hold together. As we move
through the dawn and mid to late morning hours, coverage of showers
and thunderstorms looks to increase as mid level disturbance moves
into the region. Best chance for precipitation appears to be across
south central Kentucky.

Temperatures have already fallen to around the 60 degree mark and do
not expect them to move a whole lot through the overnight as dew
points remain in the upper 50s and heavy sky cover will linger.
Updated products already out.

Update issued at 915 PM EDT Mar 15 2012

Cancelled the remainder of the watch box across the eastern CWA as
severe threat has ceased. Still watching showers and a few
thunderstorms move across southern Indiana and central Kentucky.
Latest RUC analysis shows MCV center over central Kentucky. This
feature will continue to slide east, taking most of the rain and
convection with it. Will be looking at updating grids over the next
hour or two as things have settled down in the wake of
afternoon/evening storms.

Update issued at 730 PM EDT Mar 15 2012

Have canceled more counties out of the severe thunderstorm watch.
Cells really weakening, but will leave watch over our
eastern/northeastern CWA in case anything randomly develops as MCV
moves through. Update out shortly.

Update issued at 650 PM EDT Mar 15 2012

Have canceled the Severe Thunderstorm Watch west of the leading edge
of the area of convection in central KY. Some cells will continue in
central KY early this evening, along with lightning in the anvil of
this mesoscale convective system (MCS). However, storms are not
expected to be severe anymore in areas where the Watch was canceled
early due to a stabilizing low-level air mass. Have kept the Watch
in effect for east-central and eastern sections of south-central KY.
Will clear these areas when the threat passes. No other changes to
the near term forecast at this time.

Update issued at 615 PM EDT Mar 15 2012

Large area of convection is currently moving thru central KY at this
time. There have been numerous reports of 1 inch diameter hail with
the storms earlier this afternoon with a few golf ball size reports
from the strongest individual cells. Currently, storms have
congealed into a more mesoscale area over central KY. KLVX Doppler
radar shows a pronounced mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) on the
northern end of this area of showers and storms, which has helped
fuel a more organized convective cold pool and some strong wind
gusts (up to 60 mph) over central KY.

Over the next 1-2 hours, the line in central KY will continue
eastward with a decreasing trend in intensity. The more cellular
storms ahead of the line will move east of our area with also a slow
decrease in hail size potential. Later this evening, most of the
rain will move east of our area, but can't preclude isolated or
scattered nocturnal showers or a few storms overnight again.

As for the Severe Thunderstorm Watch, will evaluate this shortly,
but looks like anything behind the line may be able to be canceled
early. The area of convection in Missouri at this time should not
affect us in the near term given its current movement and as the
atmosphere in our area will have stabilized somewhat given the
current convection in our area.

.Short Term (Tonight through Friday Night)...
Updated at 315 PM EDT Mar 15 2012

...Severe thunderstorm watch for pulse storms/hail...

In the wake of a convective complex that crossed southern Indiana
earlier this morning, cumulus cloud development has been suppressed
until recently. However, the atmosphere has become quite unstable
and scattered to numerous thunderstorms have developed over
southwest IN and central KY and will spread over the entire area by
late afternoon. Given the strong instability across the region and
weak shear, severe pulse storms are expected and will continue and
thus, SPC has given our entire area a severe thunderstorm watch.
Expect this to continue through the late afternoon and early evening
hours. Storms will lose their strength with sunset but scattered
convection will continue through the overnight hours most likely.

For tonight through Friday night, the Lower Ohio Valley will remain
within a very mild and moist early summer-like pattern. Several
disturbances that are hard to nail down the timing will move across
the region. Scattered thunderstorms are quite possible at any time
from tonight through Friday night. For Friday, feel that the best
chance of convection will lie south of the Ohio River.

Expect overnight lows tonight not far from 60, and highs Friday in
the upper 70s.

.Long Term (Saturday - Thursday)...
Updated at 300 PM EDT Mar 15 2012

Persistent and anomalous pattern will continue for much of the
week.  Deep SW flow will keep things unsettled for the first part of
the weekend, so will continue to carry a chance POP for Saturday
afternoon. The upper ridge over the Deep South will amplify Sunday
and into the early part of next week, gradually shutting off our
rain chances. Slight chance Sunday and then a dry forecast Mon-Wed.
A bit more uncertainty creeps in around Day 7, as the models show a
deep trof over the Rockies closing off into a deep upper low over
the Southern Plains by Wednesday. ECMWF brings this feature far
enough east for precip to return on Thursday, while the GFS is about
a day slower. The forecast reflects a compromise and will include a
chance POP for Thursday, but reality will be all or nothing
depending on which solution verifies.

Temps will run 20-25 degrees above climo both day and night through
the period.

&&

.Aviation (00Z TAF Issuance)...
Updated at 700 PM EDT Mar 15 2012

Complex of showers and thunderstorms will continue to affect the
terminals through 02z at the latest as an upper level disturbance
passes overhead. Most of the heavy thunderstorms are already east of
SDF and BWG, but will keep a VCTS mention in there for a couple more
hours. For LEX, they may still have a heavy storm through 00z, with
convection tapering off thereafter. Any storm affecting LEX within
the next hour or two could reduce VSBYs to IFR and CIGs down to MVFR
briefly. For BWG and SDF, think conditions will likely remain MVFR
from VSBYs from the SHRA/VCTS.

Behind the convection, more showers and storms can be found well
upstream in Missouri. However, with an unstable environment lasting
through the overnight hours, think scattered SHRA/TSRA may be
possible at any time. Will try and time this possibility toward
sunrise as another upper level disturbance exits KS/OK to the east.
Will just keep the VCTS mention for all terminals for this. In
addition, may be some lowered VSBYs from BR/light FG towards 12z, as
well.

Expect that thunderstorms will redevelop and be possible at any time
Friday after 12z, as well. Southwest winds will generally dominate
from around 10kt this afternoon, then to around 5kt from the south
tonight. Friday afternoon, expect southwest winds around 10kt.
Again, after any potential morning BR/FG, conditions should remain
VFR outside of any thunderstorms.
