.Forecast Update...
Issued at 941 PM EST Sat Jan 12 2013

02Z surface analysis reveals surface warm front now north of the LMK
CWA along a line from KRSV-KBMG-KDAY.  Main precipitation shield is
pretty much north and northwest of this boundary.  Some scattered
showers have been developing across portions of north-central
Kentucky along the south northeast side of the approaching low-level
jet axis.  South of the boundary within the warm sector, it is
generally quiet and breezy.  02Z surface temperatures are down right
mild with readings in the low-mid 60s in the north and in the upper
60s along the KY/TN border region.  These readings are some 25-30
degrees above seasonal normals!

In the near term, expect mainly dry conditions to continue for the
next several hours as main forcing and moisture advection will be
concentrated to the west of our area.  Breezy and mild conditions
are expected with readings holding in the 60s through much of the
night.  Latest model solutions continue to support the ongoing
forecast quite well.  Surface cold front out to the west is forecast
to surge eastward late tonight and early Sunday.  Based on the
latest rapid refresh/HRRR guidance, the front should be along the
I-65 corridor by morning.  Much of the model guidance shows
convection associated with the front moving eastward as well, but
intensity and coverage may end up fading a bit as the front pushes
into our area.  However, all of the guidance suggests that a
secondary wave will move up along the front during the morning hours
on Sunday and produce a fairly widespread area of precipitation that
will persist throughout the day and into Sunday evening.

The combination of moisture and lift along the front should produce
a decent amount of rainfall...mainly across the the central and
western sections late tonight and during the day on Sunday.  Latest
QPF amounts of 1.5-3.0 inches still look good, though some isolated
4 inch totals in areas west of I-65 still look good.  Thus, no
changes to the Flood Watch are required at this time.

In addition to the expected rainfall, the end of the mild
temperatures is forthcoming.  Colder air will push in behind the
front during the day on Sunday. High temperatures for Sunday will
likely occur in the wee hours late tonight because temperatures will
crash from west to east during the day.  Temperatures in the I-65
corridor and points west will start off in the mid-upper 60s early
Sunday, but will fall into the upper 30s to the lower 40s by late
Sunday afternoon.  The blast will head east through the evening and
much of the forecast area will see temperatures at or just below
freezing by midnight tomorrow night.  As the temperatures fall, we
will likely have precipitation still in the area.  A change over to
a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain looks increasingly likely
across the western sections tomorrow afternoon and then into the
east tomorrow evening.  Latest 13/00Z NAM model soundings show a
quick cooling event aloft which should limit the wintry mix for a
bit with a quick change over to snow Sunday evening before
precipitation ends early Monday morning.  Snowfall accumulations are
a possibility, but will depend on two things, how intense the
precipitation is Sunday evening and how quickly do we turn cold.
Given the recent warmth and expected wet surfaces, a minor
accumulation seems likely on grassy surfaces.  However, given the
anticipated cool down into the lower 20s late Sunday night and early
Monday combined with residual moisture on road surfaces could lead
very well lead to hazardous road conditions for the Monday morning
commute.  We will address those concerns on the overnight update
once the complete set of 00Z guidance is available.

.Short Term (Now through Sunday Night)...
Issued at 320 PM EST Sat Jan 12 2013

...Flood Watch in Effect through Sunday Evening for areas along and
west of I-65...

The well advertised precip event is still on track.  A cold front
currently sits well to our west with pre-frontal waves/isentropic
lift out ahead of the front causing steady shower activity over
south central and east central KY this afternoon.  This activity is
expected to move northeast into northern KY and southeast IN through
the evening hours but become more scattered in nature.

The area of precip that will be of most concern for our area later
tonight was setting up near the front from southern IL/western KY
southeast to northeast TX.  This will be the band of heaviest precip
which looks like it may initially move through our southwest Indiana
counties this evening before shifting more northwest of our area.
Embedded t-storms have been observed so will keep a slight chance of
thunder mentioned in the forecast.  This area of rainfall will move
back eastward into our western section after Midnight tonight with
the heaviest rains approaching the I-65 corridor toward sunrise as
an area of low pressure rides northeast along the front.  Steady
moderate to at times heavy rainfall with embedded thunder will then
move east through the area during the morning hours and early
afternoon hours.  The latest GFS and SREF guidance suggests a
secondary wave will then arrive during the afternoon hours causing
steady precip, heavy at times, to continue tomorrow afternoon.   By
Sunday evening, though, precip should start making its way eastward
out of the area.  Model soundings are still indicating plentiful
deep layer moisture and unseasonably high PWATS.  We'll see a strong
LLJ and be in the entrance region of a strong upper level jet as
well.  All of these factors point toward heavy precip and potential
flooding.  Thus, the flood watch will remain in effect through
tomorrow evening for areas along and west of I-65.  Total QPF
amounts from rains today through Sun evening should range from 1.5-3
inches area wide with locally higher amounts possible especially in
the axis of best forcing or where t-storms occur.  Minor river
flooding and some areal flooding will be possible.  See the hydro
discussion below for more details.

Temperatures should be quite mild tonight in the 60s for much of the
evening.  The cold front will cross the area Sunday afternoon
bringing in cooler air, but not enough to change us to wintry
precip.  Temps will fall into the upper 30s and 40s as the front
passes tomorrow afternoon/evening.  Precipitation should end Sunday
evening as plain rain around or shortly after Midnight.  Colder air
will continue to invade the region so lows Sunday night will get
down into the lower 20s to mid 30s.  Locations that reach the lower
to mid 20s Mon morning may experience some slick spots if lots of
water still exists on the ground/roadways.  We'll have to keep an
eye on that.

.Long Term (Monday - Saturday)...
Issued at 300 PM EST Sat Jan 12 2013

By Monday morning precipitation from the last of the waves over the
weekend will have exited the eastern portion of the forecast area.
However, the boundary will remain stalled to the southeast. By
Monday afternoon into Monday evening another wave will move
northeast along the boundary. This still looks to bring some
precipitation to the southeastern portions of the forecast area.
However, have cut way back on the areal extent of this precip for
this forecast.

Precipitation type is still quite a bit in question with this system
on Monday night. Soundings from the latest model runs are showing
that there will be ice crystals aloft, as opposed to previous runs
which were not as saturated at colder temperatures. There will still
be a rather deep warm layer for the precip to fall through, however,
before reaching the ground. Surface temperatures will be close to
freezing, but could remain a degree or two above. Thus, some snow
could reach the ground mixed with the rain. Sleet may be possible as
well. If temperatures are freezing or below at the sfc, freezing
rain is not out of the question. However, will hold off on
mentioning more than a rain/snow mix for now given the big
uncertainty in the forecast.

Precipitation will move out of the area on Tuesday morning and the
rest of the long term will be much quieter. Flow aloft will become
quasi-zonal with systems passing mainly to the north or the south of
the forecast area. Dry conditions look to prevail through the
remainder of the week. High temperatures will generally be in the
40s with lows in the 20s.

&&

.Aviation (06Z TAF Issuance)...
Issued at 1243 AM EST Sun Jan 13 2013

Conditions will quickly deteriorate overnight as a rather strong
storm system with copious moisture approaches from the west.  A line
of showers an isolated thunderstorms will continue to push into TAF
sites from west to east overnight into Sunday morning.  Gusts ahead
of this system are already picking up into the 20 knot range, with
isolated locations reporting gusts in excess of 30 knots.  Although
soundings depict a weak low-level inversion, still think that
frequent gusts in excess of 20 knots are likely as this system moves
through.

Precipitation will approach sites from west to east during the
pre-dawn hours, reaching KLEX more towards dawn.  IFR conditions
(ceilings and visibilities) are likely through much of the day as
the rainfall moves through, with even LIFR conditions possible.
Expect the LIFR conditions to remain rather infrequent and isolated,
thus have not included in this package.  Isolated thunderstorms are
possible with the rainfall, but coverage looks to remain fairly
isolated thus have not included in the forecast at this time.  Winds
will shift around to the northwest during the afternoon as a cold
front sweeps across the state, but conditions will remain low-end
MVFR/IFR through the remainder of the valid TAF period.

&&

.Hydrology...

Unseasonably warm, moist air continues to be pooled into the Ohio
Valley behind an aggressive warm front that traversed through
yesterday. This has been setting up for decent amounts of rain to
fall ahead of an approaching cold front from the west as the
atmosphere is laden with moisture. Precipitable water values are
forecast to reach levels at or above max (approximately 1.45 for
this time of year) and given the other meteorological parameters
falling into place, should yield highly efficient, numerous rain
showers. The best timing for the heaviest amounts of rain looks to
be overnight tonight into tomorrow, generally beginning to decrease
in coverage Sunday night as the frontal boundary moves through. QPF
totals are anticipated to be at the highest over the next 24 hours
with a range from about 1.5 to 3 inches and locally higher amounts
will be possible.

What this all translates to is the possibility for some minor areal
(see the issued Flood Watch for more details) and river flooding to
occur along prone banks. The location to watch initially looks to be
Dundee on the Rough River in the Green River basin. Current forecast
trends take this river level above action stage by as early as
tomorrow morning. Additional spots to watch over the next 24 to 36
hours include locations along the Green and Salt River basins as
well as small creeks and streams. This includes Rochester, Alvaton
(Drakes Creek), Woodbury, and Boston (Rolling Fork River). As the
precipitation moves off toward the north and east, additional basins
will be under close observation as the rain flows downstream.
