AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
743 PM EDT WED JUL 18 2012

.Mesoscale Update...
Updated at 743 PM EDT Wed Jul 18 2012

Several clusters of strong to severe convection continue to drop
southward across the forecast area this evening.  Atmosphere is
fairly worked over across the northeast/Bluegrass where several
rounds of heavy convection have essentially overturned the
atmosphere.  Still getting some renewed convection along the western
and southern boundaries of this Bluegrass convection as the gust
fronts head south and west.  These gust fronts are quite strong
given the instability and heat that we've had this afternoon.  40-50
MPH gusts are possible along these outflows as they blow through.

Cluster of strongest convection appears to be over our western
sections across southwest Indiana.  This area has not been worked
over and instability and moisture are greatest out in this area.
Precipitation efficiencies are quite high and it is likely that
these storms are putting out a ton of torrential rainfall.  These
storms will affect primarily Perry Co. Indiana, Hancock, Ohio, and
Breckinridge counties in Kentucky over the next 60-120 minutes.
Other convection along the I-65 corridor from Larue south into Hart
county will continue to drop south, but recent trends suggests
weakening as instability is waning.

&&

.Short Term (Tonight - Thursday Night)...
Issued at 300 PM EDT Wed Jul 18 2012

Several small vortmaxes as well as outflow from earlier convection
creating isolated thunderstorms so far this afternoon. Still
expecting scattered convection by late afternoon, especially as we
have a nice boundary scooting in from the central Indiana at this
time. Model soundings and SPC mesoanalysis page indicate plenty of
instability. Added in wording for gusty winds and heavy rain into
the zones in the last update and have kept it in with a pre-first
period zone wording this package.

New heat advisory area still looks good and plan no further changes
with this forecast package. The problem creeps in again tomorrow,
with heat indices highly dependent on timing of convection during
the day. Based on current forecast, have heat indices rising to
similar levels to what we have today. Expect more
convection/afternoon cloud cover to limit the length of time we stay
at those high levels.

As for that convection, have plenty of deep tropical moisture over
the region tomorrow. Any of those weak shortwaves can spark off a
cluster of storms, similar to what we had this morning off to the
northeast. So we have two possibilities for weather tomorrow...the
first being morning convection spreading across some part of the
region and delaying onset of heavier storms until the afternoon. The
other option would be little to no morning convection allowing
temperatures to go up quickly and then firing off storms early in
the afternoon and continuing across the region at least into the
evening. A front approaching the region from the north would serve
as an early focus for convection that would send outflows into our
area to combine with the heating and create numerous storms. Will
lean toward the second solution, but keep in isolated pops for the
morning.

With this more likely solution in mind, thunderstorms that form in
the afternoon will have plenty of instability to work with as well.
Temperatures aloft look too warm for large hail, so will mention
more of the wind threat as well as heavy rainfall.

Thursday night our area will be very close to that front and a
digging trough moving into the Ohio Valley. The proximity to both
will leave in good rain chances through the night.

.Long Term (Friday through Wednesday)...
Issued at 230 PM EDT Wed Jul 18 2012

The Ohio Valley will be in the weakness between the Bermuda ridge
and another upper-level ridge amplifying over the Plains. Shortwave
trof will dig into that weakness on Friday, pushing a weak cool
front into the region. A healthy moisture feed will support showers
and thunderstorms, with the highest POPs from the Bluegrass region
south to Lake Cumberland. Will carry likely POPs there, with a solid
chance west of I-65.

POPs taper from NW to SE Friday night, and the forecast will be dry
for at least the first half of the weekend. Weak and rapidly
modifying bubble of high pressure will provide some relief from the
heat and humidity, but this run leaves us less confident than the
last in just how much of an air mass change will occur. Best guess
is max temps in the mid/upper 80s Saturday, with dewpoints from the
mid-60s near the Ohio River to around 70 in south-central Kentucky.

Upper trof lifts out later in the weekend as the front washes out to
our south. Upper ridge remains well off to our west, with weak NW
flow east of the Mississippi. Daytime temps will recover into the
90s on Sunday, with overnight lows rebounding to the lower/mid 70s
by Sunday night. POPs will be mostly diurnally driven, with slight
chance by day and dry forecast by night. Perhaps an increase in POPs
by Wednesday as there is a better chance for an MCS to roll SE out
of the Upper Midwest and hold together into the Ohio Valley.

&&

.Aviation (00Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 655 PM EDT Wed Jul 18 2012

Diurnally driven convection continues across the forecast area this
evening and KLEX seems likely to bear the brunt of it.  Strong
cluster of storms just north of KLEX will push through over the next
hour.  Torrential rains reducing visibilities to less than a mile
along with wind gusts up to 45 kts can be expected.  This activity
should diminish rapidly after 19/01Z. Over at KSDF and KBWG, will
keep VCTS in the forecast for now...for the next few hours as
convection continues to fire along various outflow boundaries.
Atmospheric instability should weaken with the loss of diurnal
heating by 19/01-02Z.  VFR conditions look likely overnight, but
there is some concern for fog potential.  We will re-evaluate that
and issue another TAF update before 19/03Z to address those concerns.
