What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 14, 8:31 PM EDT, 1 hour 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 8:31 PM EDT, 1 hour 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
831 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 830 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

STRONG SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS EASTERN KY...AS A
WAVE NEARS US FROM THE NW...AND ANOTHER WAVE HAS DEVELOPED TO OUR SW
AND MOVED INTO THE REGION. THE MERGER OF THESE TWO SYSTEM HAS CREATED
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS COVERAGE ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN KY THAT IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. UPDATED POPS AND WX
ACCORDINGLY BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND LATEST HI-RES MODEL
TRENDS. THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL THAT A FEW OF THESE STORMS COULD
BECOME SEVERE...THOUGH AT THIS POINT THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND
THE FACT THAT MUCH OF THE AREA HAS ALREADY BEEN WORKED OVER...SHOULD
BE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE SEVERE POTENTIAL SOMEWHAT MORE LIMITED
THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE NIGHT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 606 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

UPDATED POPS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS BASED ON CURRENT CONDITIONS...AS
WELL AS DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BASED ON THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING UPSTREAM AND THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE ON HOW
THIS LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT OUR AREA. TRIED TO
KEEP A BIT MORE EMPHASIS ON THE LINE AFFECTING OUR AREA
OVERNIGHT...INSTEAD OF WASHING IT OUT COMPLETELY. ALSO LOADED IN THE
LATEST OBSERVATIONAL GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS...DEW POINTS...AND WINDS JUST
TO MAKE SURE THE CURRENT FORECAST IS REFLECTING THE ONGOING CONDITIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 341 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT. A TROUGH IS MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. IT WAS ABLE TO KICK OFF SOME SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS MOSTLY NEAR AND WEST OF I 75. IT STARTED WEAKENING AS
IT MOVED INTO THE AREA THAT HAD RAIN LATE LAST NIGHT AND THIS
MORNING. THE WEAKENED LINE OF STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST AND
IS STILL CAPABLE OF HEAVY RAIN...WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH AND SMALL HAIL.
ANOTHER CLUSTER OF STORMS ARE MOVING INTO WAYNE COUNTY. THIS AREA DID
NOT HAVE STORMS THIS MORNING...SO WILL NEED TO KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE TO
SEE IF ANY OF THE STORMS GET STRONG. THE COLD FRONT IS IN CENTRAL
INDIANA AND THIS WILL BRING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
AREA LATER TONIGHT. ONCE THIS MOVES THROUGH THE AREA...MUCH COOLER
AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 358 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST BEGINS WITH A DEEP MID/UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE UNITED STATES...WITH
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS STATES. ENERGY ROTATING THROUGH
THE UPPER LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW COULD RESULT IN SHOWERS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PART OF THE OH VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY. FOR NOW EXPECT THIS THREAT TO
REMAIN JUST NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA AND WILL CONTINUE WITH A DRY
AND COOL FORECAST FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS OF THE LONG TERM
FORECAST. THE UPPER LOW WHICH WILL BE CENTERED NORTH OF THE GREAT
LAKES ALONG THE QUEBEC ONTARIO BORDER WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST
DURING THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK...AND A SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE
TROF MOVING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE
THURSDAY OR EARLY FRIDAY...WITH THE CHANCE EXTENDING ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. A DAILY CHANCE
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
TEMPERATURES WILL START OFF WELL BELOW NORMAL...WITH TEMPERATURES
WARMING AS WE MOVE INTO AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 802 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STRONG SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO
IMPACT THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING...AND SHOULD PERSIST INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS BRINGS A GOOD DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY TO THE
FORECAST...AS IT IS HARD TO PINPOINT EXACT TIMING OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PARTICULAR TAF SITE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT...AS
WELL AS THE STRENGTH OF THE STORMS AND RESULTING IMPACTS FOR LOWERING
VIS AND CIGS. THINK THE OVERALL PATTERN WILL CONSIST OF VFR AND MVFR
CIGS...WITH VIS BEING THE MAIN CHANGING VARIABLE. SOME FOG MAY DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT WITH THE ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AS WELL...WITH HIGHER
EXPECTATIONS FOR THIS TO OCCUR AT KSME AND KSJS. ONCE THE FRONT
PASSES THROUGH IN THE MORNING...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO BEGIN
IMPROVING...WITH VFR SKIES SLOWLY CLEARING AND RAIN COMING TO AN END.
