AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
208 PM EDT WED MAY 14 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 155 PM EDT WED MAY 14 2014

THE GRIDS AND ZFP HAVE BEEN UPDATED FOR TORNADO WATCH 154 THROUGH 8
PM THAT INCLUDES THE NW TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA. IN ADDITION TO THE
HEAVY RAIN THREAT THAT WAS ADDED TO THE GRIDS...WE HAVE ALSO ADDED
SEVERE ATTRIBUTE TO THE GRIDS ACROSS THE WATCH AREA THROUGH EVENING.
THE SEVERE ATTRIBUTE WAS CONTINUED INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IN
ADVANCE OF THE BOUNDARY. EXTRAPOLATION OF THE STRONG CLUSTER OF CELLS
MOVING FROM THE NORTHERN CUMBERLAND PLATEAU AND SOUTH CENTRAL KY
NORTH AND EAST GENERALLY PUTS THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR ANY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THAT AREA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ACTIVITY SHOULD DEVELOP
THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING AND WITH WIND FIELDS SET TO STRENGTHEN
SOME OF THOSE COULD BECOME SEVERE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.
DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL IN ADDITION TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN APPEARS TO
BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THE STORMS ALTHOUGH A STRAY TORNADO OR TWO
CANNOT BE RULED OUT. OTHERWISE... THE HOURLY GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED
TO ACCOUNT FOR RECENT OBSERVATION AND RADAR TRENDS.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1120 AM EDT WED MAY 14 2014

THE HOURLY GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED MAINLY FOR RECENT SATELLITE...RADAR
AND OBSERVATION TRENDS. MID LEVEL RIDGING LONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD
WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SHIFT EAST THROUGH THIS EVENING AS A TROUGH
OVER THE CENTRAL US GRADUALLY MOVES EAST INTO THE MS VALLEY REGION. A
SHORTWAVE WITHIN THIS TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO
THE MID MS VALLEY BY LATE THIS EVENING. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SFC WAVE
DEVELOPING ALONG A BOUNDARY THAT HAS STALLED OUT BETWEEN THE
INTERSTATE 65 AND INTERSTATE 75 CORRIDORS IN KY. AS THIS LOW TRACKS
INTO WESTERN KY THIS EVENING...THIS WILL BACK THE LOW LEVEL FLOW A
BIT TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST WHILE THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS WILL BE
GENERALLY SOUTHERLY. THE SFC LOW SHOULD REACH NORTHEAST IN/NORTHWEST
OH REGION BY DAWN ON THURSDAY AND THIS LOW WILL SEND THE BOUNDARY
EAST AS A COLD FRONT INTO EASTERN KY LATE TONIGHT...BUT NOT EXIT INTO
WV UNTIL AROUND MIDDAY ON THU. PW IS PROGGED TO CLIMB TO AROUND 1.5
INCHES OR HIGHER BY LATE THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IN THE
DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW. THESE VALUES ARE BETWEEN THE 75TH PERCENTILE AND
2 SD ABOVE NORMAL.

RECENT RUNS OF THE NEAR TERM MODELS SUCH AS THE RAP...HRRR AND THE
12Z NAM SUGGEST MOSTLY JUST ISOLATED TO POSSIBLY SCATTERED COVERAGE
OF CONVECTION THROUGH ABOUT SUNSET WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY AS LI
IS PROGGED TO REACH -5C OR LOWER AND CAPE TO REACH NEAR 2000 J/KG.
MORE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED LATER INTO THE EVENING AND
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE SHORTWAVE WILL BEGIN TO TAKE ON MORE OF A
NEGATIVE TILT AS IT APPROACHES THE OH VALLEY REGION WHICH SHOULD LEAD
TO UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENT FLOW AND DEEPER LIFT WITHIN THE DEEP
MOISTURE LAYER. THE INCREASED SHEAR IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
ESPECIALLY THE EVENING SHOULD LEAD TO MORE STORM ORGANIZATION
COMPARED TO THIS AFTERNOON AND THE THREAT FOR SOME STRONG TO DAMAGING
WINDS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. ANY SUPERCELLS THAT DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY
ALONG OR WEST OF I 75 AND OVER OUR NW COUNTIES WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO PRODUCE AN ISOLATED TORNADO. HOWEVER...HEAVY RAIN COULD END UP
BEING THE BIGGEST THREAT. WITH THE PW FORECAST TO BE AS HIGH AS IT
IS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE THREAT WILL LINGER
IN EASTERN LOCATIONS UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES INTO WV. THE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN THREAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GRIDS AND THE HWO HAS BEEN UPDATED
ACCORDINGLY.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 639 AM EDT WED MAY 14 2014

A FEW SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPING AND ARE MOVING NORTH NEAR THE I-64
CORRIDOR. THESE SHOULD LIFT NORTH OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
OTHERWISE...LOOKS LIKE A FAIRLY QUIET START TO THE DAY IN THE WAKE OF
THIS MORNINGS SHOWER ACTIVITY. HRRR AND RAP REALLY TARGET THE WESTERN
COUNTIES IN THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. BASED ON RADAR TRENDS
THIS SEEMS REASONABLE...BUT AS WE SAW YESTERDAY...IF STORMS
DEVELOP...OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MAY PUSH THINGS FURTHER EAST BY LATE IN
THE DAY. NO SIGNIFICANT UPDATE PLANNED THIS MORNING EXCEPT TO ADJUST
TEMPERATURES FOR LATEST TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 314 AM EDT WED MAY 14 2014

PRESENTLY...A POTENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS PUSHING ITS WAVE EAST ACROSS
WEST TEXAS WITH A SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM NORTHWEST
INDIANA...SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...AND INTO EASTERN TEXAS.
THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SERVE AS THE FOCUS FOR AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE MID LEVEL
TROUGH PUSHES INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. THIS SURFACE
LOW WILL TRACK NORTHEAST FROM WESTERN KENTUCKY LATE TODAY...INTO THE
SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES BY THURSDAY MORNING. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
CONTINUE TO PUMP MOIST SFC CONDITIONS INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY THROUGH
THE DAY. AS THE LOW APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
RAMP UP THROUGH THE DAY. BASED ON LATEST SATELLITE/RADAR...LOOKS LIKE
A CLUSTER OF STORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS MORNING.
THIS COULD SEND SOME OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TO THE EAST INTO EASTERN
KENTUCKY AND SET THE STAGE FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT LATER TODAY. SHEAR
IS NOT FANTASTIC...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE INSTABILITY SHOULD BE FAIRLY
GOOD...SUPPORTING THE THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS. IN FACT...NEARLY ALL
OF EASTERN KENTUCKY RESIDES IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE DAY. MAIN THREATS APPEAR TO BE DAMAGING WINDS...BUT
CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW ROTATING SUPERCELLS...ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE
I-75 CORRIDOR...AND THUS AN ISOLATED TORNADO WOULD ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
GIVEN WET BULB FREEZING HEIGHTS AROUND 10KFT...SOME HAIL WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER CELLS. SEEMS CONDITIONS ARE TRENDING
TOWARDS SUPPORTING A BETTER THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS TODAY.

AS THE SFC LOW TRACKS NORTHEAST TONIGHT...THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
FINALLY BE ON THE MOVE AND TRACK EAST INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY. WITH
GOOD CONVERGENCE AND FORCING ANTICIPATED...WE SHOULD SEE WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THE NIGHT. A RISK OF A
FEW SEVERE STORMS COULD CONTINUE WELL INTO THE NIGHT UNTIL THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES ON THROUGH. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL WIND
DOWN INTO THE MIDDAY HOURS ON THURSDAY AS THE FRONT EXITS TO THE EAST.
THUS...BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...DRY WEATHER SHOULD RETURN.

MILD AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY. WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...MUCH COOLER WEATHER
WILL RETURN THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY WITH THE HIGHER HUMIDITY ALSO
EXITING.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 130 PM EDT WED MAY 14 2014

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST PERIOD A LARGE UPPER LOW
WILL BE OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES WITH DEEP TROUGHING EXTENDING
SOUTH INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL RESULT IN WELL BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES FOR THE START OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST. A SHORT WAVE
TROUGH SWINGING THROUGH THE OH VALLEY WILL KEEP A PRECIPITATION
THREAT OVER OUR AREA FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE
UPPER LOW WILL PULL INTO CANADA AS WE MOVE INTO THE WEEKEND...AND
HEIGHTS WILL RISE ACROSS THE OH VALLEY...WITH A WARMING TREND FOR
LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL
BUILD OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL TO SOUTHEAST U.S. NEXT WEEK. THE CHANCE
FOR PRECIPITATION NEXT WEEK WILL DEPEND ON WHERE THE AXIS OF THIS
RIDGE BECOMES ESTABLISHED. IF THE PRIMARY RIDGE REMAINS TO OUR WEST
THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE GREATER AS WE REMAIN IN GENERAL
NORTHWEST FLOW. HOWEVER IF THE RIDGE AXIS IS FURTHER EAST WE WILL BE
DRIER AND WARMER. AT THIS TIME THE CONSENSUS BLENDED MODEL LOAD
SHOULD BE A GOOD STARTING POINT FORECAST TO COVER THIS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 155 PM EDT WED MAY 14 2014

AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND SHARP MID LEVEL WAVE WILL BE THE FOCUS
FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY TODAY
AND TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL INITIALLY MOVE CLOSE TO SME...AND
SHOULD EVENTUALLY AFFECT LOZ...JKL AND SJS MAINLY AFTER 0Z. ISOLATE
ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE IN ALL AREAS THROUGH 0Z AND LATER SO HAVE VCTS
TO START THE PERIOD AT LOZ...JKL AND SJS. ANY LOCATION THAT TAKES A
DIRECT HIT FROM A STORM COULD HAVE IFR OR LOWER VIS AND OR CIGS
BRIEFLY. LATER ON TONIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES IN AND THE ATMOSPHERE
SATURATES...SOME MVFR AND IFR CIGS AND VISBYS ARE POSSIBLE...GENERALLY
AFTER 3Z.
