AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
400 PM EDT SAT AUG 10 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 400 PM EDT SAT AUG 10 2013

MODELS HAVE NOT HANDLED DETAILS OF PRECIP VERY WELL IN RECENT
DAYS...AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE VERY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE
SHORT TERM SECTION OF THE NEW FORECAST EITHER. FEATURES ARE
WEAK...AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MOIST AND NOT NEEDING MUCH TO SET
OFF CONVECTION. HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE SREF FOR A PATTERN. WILL
NEED TO WATCH FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OR HINTS OF MODEL AGREEMENT
TO HONE IN ON PERIODS OF HIGHER OR LOWER POPS AS TIME GOES BY. THE
GENERAL CONSENSUS IS FOR POPS TO LOWER FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS TIME
GOES BY...BUT WITH A DIURNAL TREND SHOWING UP ALSO. LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL CAN NOT BE RULED OUT...BUT IS ANY FLOODING WOULD BE VERY
ISOLATED AND CONFIDENCE IS FAR TOO LOW FOR AN FFA.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 PM EDT SAT AUG 10 2013

THE WERE ONCE AGAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE EXTENDED PORTION
OF THE FORECAST. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS WERE DEPICTING A
LARGE EASTERN CANADIAN TROUGH...A SOUTHEASTERN CONUS RIDGE...AND
WESTERN CONUS TROUGHING. THE PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...AS SOUTHWEST FLOW ALONG THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE INTERACTS WITH THE CONVERGENCE ALONG
AND AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. WARM MOIST AIR OFF THE GULF OF
MEXICO WILL FEED INTO THE AS THE FRONT APPROACHES...THEREBY LEADING
TO INCREASING RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA. THE BEST CHANCES FOR
RAIN WILL OCCUR ON TUESDAY AS THE APPROACHING FRONT INTERACTS WITH
THE MOUNTAINS...WHICH WILL INCREASE LIFT OF THE MOIST AIR AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR TUESDAY BASED ON
THIS...WITH LIKELY POPS IN PLACE ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH A DRY PERIOD
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT BETWEEN SYSTEMS AS A RIDGE OF CANADIAN
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. A SERIES OF UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCES IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE OUT OF THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY REGION AND UP THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS FROM
THURSDAY ONWARD. THERE IS A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO EXACTLY HOW
MUCH MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THESE SYSTEMS TO WORK WITH...SO
POPS WERE KEPT IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE CATEGORY ACROSS THE
BOARD.

TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WILL LIKELY RUN SLIGHTLY BELOW
NORMAL FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE EXTENDED...PARTICULARLY AFTER THE
FRONT EXITS THE AREA. MONDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY...WITH HIGHS
FORECAST TO TOP OUT IN THE MID 80S. THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL
FEATURE HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80 DEGREES. OVERNIGHT LOWS
WILL START OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S...BEFORE READINGS BOTTOM OUT
AROUND 60 BEHIND THE FRONT.

WAS SOME LOCALIZED MVFR IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WILL
PERSIST INTO THE EVENING. LATE TONIGHT A DETERIORATION TO IFR IS
