.Short Term (Tonight - Monday Night)...
Issued at 350 PM EDT Sun Sep 2 2012

...Periodic Heavy Rain Showers and Storms through this Evening...

The remnant core of Isaac was over central Illinois into western
Indiana as of 19Z.  It will meander ESE into the Ohio Valley tonight
and then into the TN valley by Monday evening.  This afternoon
multiple heavy rain showers with shallow low level rotation were
moving ENE over south central KY as of 19Z spurred by a vort max
spinning around Isaac.  Although most convection/instability is
limited by low cloud cover that we've had in place for much of the
day, 20-30 kts of 0-3km flow and 15-20 kts of 0-1k flow seem to be
enough in creating shallow storms with low level rotation.  As the
current line of storms over central KY progresses ENE this evening,
expect some of the circulations to get a bit stronger/tighter with
some areas having some sfc instability due to a few breaks in the
cloud cover this afternoon.  Will need to monitor storms closely for
brief tornadoes and damaging winds.  Tor Watch #608 has been issued
through 3Z.

After 2Z tonight, convection should decrease in intensity and
coverage through at least 6Z.  The 12Z NAM indicates the low level
jet will get going again after 6Z with an upswing in convective
coverage and intensity again in the 6Z to 12Z time frame east of
I-65.  Looks like moderate showers with embedded thunder will be the
rule with PWATS near 2.3 inches.  Will need to watch for possible
localized flooding issues although rains so far for this event have
been soaking nicely into the ground at a steady pace.  Minor ponding
of water on roadways may be the biggest threat from storms late
tonight/Mon morning.

For the rest of Monday and Monday night, lingering showers will hang
around for much of the day on Monday with convection tapering off
Monday night as Isaac weakens and sinks south.

Temperatures should reach the upper 70s to mid 80s for highs Monday
with lows in the lower 70s tonight and Monday night.

.Long Term (Tuesday - Sunday)...
Issued at 323 PM EDT Sun Sep 2 2012

The pesky remnants of Isaac should continue to be in the process of
moving eastward out of the region at the beginning of the forecast
period.  Some shower and thunderstorm activity may persist across
the region on Tuesday with the highest chances in the east closer to
upper level trough.  Drier conditions are expected by Tuesday night
but this will be short lived as another upper trough axis and
associated surface cold front will push toward the region on
Wednesday.  The model trends are a little faster with this system,
so precipitation chances only may linger throughout the day on
Wednesday with drier conditions on tap for Wednesday night.

With the upper trough and front to our east by Thursday, high
pressure will build into the region resulting in a quiet weather
day.  Active weather is forecast to return to the region late Friday
and into Saturday as a significant trough develops to our west and
swings into the region.  There are significant differences in the
model solutions as the 02/12Z Euro solution actually closes off the
low and results in a large 500 hPa gyre stalling out across the
middle Ohio Valley.  The GFS is showing its progressive bias in
developing the cutoff further east across US eastern seaboard.
Given this bias, feel that the Euro solution is probably more
correct and has similar continuity from its previous run.  Should
this scenario pan out, it looks to be a cool and damp weekend across
the Ohio Valley.

Temperatures in the Tuesday through Thursday period look to warm
into the mid-upper 80s with overnight lows in the upper 60s.  Cooler
conditions are expected Friday-Sunday with highs in the mid-upper
70s in the north with upper 70s generally in the south.  Overnight
lows will remain in the 60s.

.Aviation (18Z TAF issuance)...
Issued at 120 PM EDT Sun Sep 2 2012

The remnant core of Isaac was over Illinois early this afternoon.
It is progged to slowly wobble ESE into the Ohio Valley tonight and
then to the TN Valley later in the day Monday.  Rounds of showers
with some embedded t-storms will continue to be possible through
this TAF period courtesy of Isaac.

SDF/BWG...These TAF sites are seeing their last significant rainfall
from this weather system this afternoon.  Light to moderate rains
will continue through the evening hours before tapering to scattered
showers.  Some isld t-storms may be possible especially near BWG
this afternoon but not likely.  Still will mention VCTS which agrees
with the CCFP. IFR conditions will be possible periodically in
heavier convection throughout the afternoon. The bigger concern will
be lower flight conditions throughout the afternoon mainly due to
low cigs.  As the core of Isaac draws closer, flight conditions will
continue to decline to at least IFR conditions for tonight.  LIFR
isn't out of the realm of possibilities according to NAM BUFKIT
soundings.  Will mention SCT003 at the TAF sites for now and
possibly lower cigs in coming TAF periods.  However, conditions
should start to improve by mid to late morning tomorrow.

LEX...The NAM suggests a decent vort max spinning around Isaac will
cause t-storms near LEX later this afternoon (after 21Z).  Therefore
will include a tempo group for t-storms with IFR conditions.  Gusty
winds may also be possible in any t-storm that hits LEX but not
likely.  Flight conditions will continue to deteriorate through the
evening hours dropping to predominant IFR conditions mainly due to
low cigs.  Overnight, the NAM suggests a LLJ spinning around Isaac
will create some marginal LLWS and a second round of showers from
about 9Z through sunrise.  LIFR cigs may be possible around sunrise
as well although will remain conservative with this TAF period.  By
mid to late morning, convection should become more scattered in
nature with flight conditions improving.
