.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 230 AM CST FRI MAR 2 2012
WARM FRONT LIFTING INTO/THRU PAH FA ATTM. WE'LL BE SEEING THE MID 50S
SURFACE TDS PERCHED JUST TO OUR SOUTH SURGE NORTHWARD INTO THE
AREA IN THE NEXT 3 TO 4 HOURS. WINDS WILL BE PICKING UP AS
WELL...AND MODEL SOUNDING DATA SHOWS ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL BE
RAMPING UP. TIME/HEIGHTS SHOW GOOD ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE KICKS IN AT
290-295K. ANTICIPATE OUTBREAK OF AM CONVECTION WITH SLGT RISK
SEVERE (RECENT SWOMCD OUTLOOKS PROBABLE WATCH) AS OVERRUNNING
STORMS SPILL TO THE COOL SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY (LARGE HAILERS
POSSIBLE). ALSO NOTED IS HELICITY ON THE BOUNDARY RUNNING 200-400
M2/S2 THRU THESE HOURS. IT APPEARS THE SWODY1 HAS EXPANDED THE MDT
RISK FOR THE COLD FRONT WESTWARD TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS WARM FRONTAL
DEVELOPMENT DURING THE AM HOURS...BUT THE MODERATE RISK IS STILL
MAINLY FOCUSING ON THE PM HOURS/COLD FRONT.
AND WITH REGARD TO THE COLD FRONT/PM HOURS/MDT RISK...THERE IS
STILL GOING TO BE A BATTLE BETWEEN THE EXTREMELY UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE WITH IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS...AND THE GRADUAL STARVING
OF MOISTURE THAT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE UNDERGOING AT ABOUT THE
TIME THE COLD FRONT ENTERS THE FRAY DURING THE MID TO LATE PM
HOURS. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE NAM MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGESTS THE
FLARE-UP IN THE FRONT WILL BE MAINLY TO OUR EAST...WHERE THE
GREATEST THREAT UNDER THE MDT RISK EXISTS...DUE MAINLY TO THE FAST
MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT/DRY AIR WORKING DOWN THE COLUMN. THE SLOWER
GFS BLOWS IT UP FURTHER WEST (OVER OUR ERN 1/2 FA) BEFORE SHOVING
IT TO THE EAST DURING THE EVENING. WILL CONTINUE TO HIT THIS POTENTIAL
HARD IN ALL PRODUCTS DUE TO THE IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY/WIND
FIELDS. KEY WORD BEING POTENTIAL...DUE TO THE UNCERTAINY OF STORM
INITIATION/COLD FRONTAL TIMING/PASSAGE AND CONCERN THAT MAY
ULTIMATELY BE MORESO TO OUR EAST.
STRONG WIND FIELDS WITH 50+ KT WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE SHOULD
MIX DOWN IN THE WARM SECTOR THIS PM...WITH NAM BUFKIT SOUNDING
DATA REVEALING WIND GUSTS BRIEFLY HITTING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA
IN A NARROW WINDOW AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS PM/EARLY EVENING.
HAVE POSTED WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS...ESP CONSIDERING CONTINUED
STORM DAMAGE CLEANUP FROM RECENT TORNADO OUTBREAK.
.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 230 AM CST FRI MAR 2 2012
THE SIGNAL FOR THE CYCLONIC NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES TO REMAIN IN
PLACE FOR SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...SO LITTLE OR NO CHANGE TO
PREVIOUS FORECASTS FOR THIS MINOR PRECIPITATION EVENT.
THE MEDIUM RANGE NUMERICAL MODEL SUITE ALSO CONTINUES TO SHOW UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS THE WFO PAH FORECAST AREA FROM MONDAY THROUGH
EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE RANGE OF GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SLOW THE
TRANSITION OF THE UPPER FLOW TO SOUTHWEST WITH TIME...WITH THE BASE
OF THE WESTERLIES INITIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE WFO PAH FORECAST
AREA ON WEDNESDAY.
THE IMPRESSED BAROCLINIC ZONE DUE TO THE GREATER SHEAR ALOFT ALONG
THE BASE OF THE WESTERLIES OVER THE WFO PAH FORECAST AREA SHOULD
PROVIDE A SLOW...BUT CONSISTENT TRANSLATION OF POP/WEATHER TO THE
SOUTHEAST WITH TIME FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.
AT THIS TIME...MODELS ARE MORE STABLE WITH THE PRECIPITATION...SO
KEPT A PRIMARY MENTION OF SHOWERS THROUGH THE PERIOD VERSUS
THUNDERSTORMS.
FOR NEXT FRIDAY...A PROGRESSIVE HIGHER AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE IS FORECAST
TO MOVE SOUTHEAST FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST...PLACING THE WFO PAH
FORECAST AREA BACK INTO NORTHWEST FLOW FOR LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
NEXT SATURDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE EXIT OF THE LATTER WEEK RAINFALL
TO THE SOUTHEAST...WITH WRAP-AROUND PRECIPITATION MOVING IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST LATER ON FRIDAY.
WITH RESPECT TO TEMPERATURES...HAD CONSIDERED RAISING MAX
TEMPERATURES ANOTHER 1-3 DEGREES ABOVE CURRENT FORECAST VALUES. FOR
NOW...COMPROMISED AND INCREASED MAX TEMPERATURE VALUES NEXT WEEK BY
1-2 DEGREES.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 602 AM CST FRI MAR 2 2012
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING WERE NEAREST
KEVV/KOWB...WHERE A WARM FRONT WAS MAKING ITS PASSAGE. SLYS WILL
PICK UP AND GUST THROUGH THE PM HOURS WITH PEAK GUSTS INTO THE 30S
KTS. MORE STORMS ARE FORECAST THIS PM...BEST CHANCE EAST...AS THE
COLD FRONT MAKES ITS MOVE. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL UNLESS A
STORM CREATES RESTRICTED VSBYS OR CIGS...WILL MAINTAIN VICINITY
MENTIONS TIL WE SEE THE WHITES OF ITS EYES. AFTER COLD FROPA THIS
EVENING...WINDS SHIFT TO WEST OR NORTHWEST AND DIMINISH OVERNIGHT

FOR TODAY...MUCH OF KENTUCKY AS WELL AS EXTREME SOUTHERN INDIANA IS UNDER A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE STORMS. THE HIGH RISK IN OUR AREA IS ROUGHLY ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM AROUND CHRISNEY INDIANA TO NEAR CADIZ KENTUCKY. THIS INCLUDES SPENCER COUNTY INDIANA...AND IN KENTUCKY...THE COUNTIES OF DAVIESS...MCLEAN...MUHLENBERG... HOPKINS...CHRISTIAN...AND TODD...AS WELL AS FAR EASTERN PORTIONS OF HENDERSON...WEBSTER...AND TRIGG COUNTIES.

A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS EXISTS IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CAUSE THIS HIGH RISK IS THE FOLLOWING...STARTING LATE THIS MORNING...A COLD FRONT WILL START ITS RAPID DRIVE WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE REGION...AS A SPRING LIKE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHWARD TO THE GREAT LAKES. THE STRONG DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE OUT AHEAD OF THIS COLD FRONT ...IN COMBINATION WITH THE POWERFUL WIND FIELDS ALOFT...IS WHY THIS STORM SITUATION WILL BE SO POTENTIALLY VIOLENT. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND TORNADOES WILL BE THE POTENTIAL THREATS IN THE HIGH AND MODERATE RISK ZONES THIS AFTERNOON. THE ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE IS SUPPORTIVE OF LONG TRACKS OF WIND DAMAGING OR TORNADIC STORMS. ALSO TO NOTE...WIND FIELDS OUT AHEAD OF AND BRIEFLY BEHIND THE FRONT WILL CREATE WINDY CONDITIONS WITH SOME GUSTS CAPABLE OF TOPPING OUT AROUND 45 MPH WITHOUT THE AID OF ANY STORM. WINDS WILL AVERAGE 15 TO 30 MPH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
