AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
720 PM EDT THU JUL 19 2012
...Updated Aviation Discussion...
.Forecast Update...
Issued at 717 PM EDT Thu Jul 19 2012
Severe T-storm Watch 495 has been expanded to include all of south
central KY. New convection firing over western KY looks to make its
way over south central KY over the next 2-4 hrs, therefore the watch
was expanded. The watch goes through 11 pm EDT...10 pm CDT. Main
threats still appear to be damaging winds...torrential rain...and
frequent lightning. Hail up to walnut size has also been reported
in a few of the strongest storms. Products out shortly.
&&
.Short Term (Tonight - Friday Night)...
Issued at 320 PM EDT Thu Jul 19 2012
...Strong to Severe Storms Expected this Evening...
Storms have been slow to develop this afternoon with a slight cap in
place over most of the area. However, one area that we have seen
some activity in is over portions of the Bluegrass and north central
KY where strong to marginally severe storms have been widely
scattered this afternoon. We've had one report of 61 mph winds at
the Clark Co mesonet this afternoon. This area had better lift due
to an upper level shortwave moving across central IN/OH today. The
rest of our area has been inhibited by the cap and lack of trigger
so far.
This evening will be more favorable for a period of more widespread
strong to severe storms from about 7pm to 2am EDT. We're already
starting to see more storms break the cap over north central KY east
of I-65 as of 3pm EDT. Also, energy from the main upper level
trough will dive south this evening helping to produce numerous
showers and storms over the area. Several sfc boundaries exist to
focus convection ahead of the main sfc front which extend SW from
the sfc low over central Illinois to southwest MO. The low and sfc
front will move east overnight with the sfc front crossing the area
sometime tomorrow morning. Some models indicate it may stall some
where over south central/east central KY tomorrow afternoon giving
southern and eastern portions of KY possibly another chance of
storms although probably not quite as strong. Convection should
clear the entire area sometime Fri night.
Strong to severe storms this evening will contain damaging winds as
the main threat. With plenty of CAPE, severe hail will also be a
threat. If a storm can latch onto a boundary, rotation or an isld
tornado could be possible but not likely.
With heat indices reaching criteria over most of the advisory area,
will leave in place for now. Probably will cancel that early if
convection becomes more widespread.
Temps tonight will be in the lower 70s with highs tomorrow in the
mid 80s to around 90. Lows Fri night will be in the upper 60s to
lower 70s.
.Long Term (Saturday through Thursday)...
Issued at 300 PM EDT Thu Jul 19 2012
Main trough axis should be off to our southeast Saturday morning.
With that shift, airmass should be drier over us. Expect troughiness
to be to our east most of this period, but it will weaken as a ridge
builds into the lower Mississippi River Valley. Thus expect after a
near normal start to temperatures Saturday, we will see a steady
rise after that. After a dry weekend, we should start seeing
isolated coverage again Monday afternoon and then scattered storms
the rest of the week. Heat indices look to get close to the advisory
level by midweek.
&&
.Aviation (18Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 720 PM EDT Thu Jul 19 2012
Organized clusters of strong to severe storms are ongoing across the
TAF sites. Numerous thunderstorms will continue through the evening
ahead of an approaching cold front and upper level disturbance. Any
thunderstorm that hits a terminal will have potential to be briefly
severe with gusts over 50 knots, 1/4SM visibility and excessive
cloud to ground lightning. Especially over the next few hours at all
TAF sites. Surface winds will be variable and gusty this evening
with outflow boundaries all over the place. Thereafter, a general
WSW flow between 5 to 10 mph will take over. Cold front will
gradually slide through the area during the day tomorrow with
scattered to numerous storms developing along and east of I-65 ahead
of the front.
