AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
411 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 345 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

AS OF MID AFTERNOON...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED OFF THE
SOUTHEAST US COAST WHILE A TROUGH WAS OVER THE PLAINS TO MS VALLEY
REGION AND A RIDGE WAS LOCATED ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST. AT THE
SFC...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER NW ONTARIO WITH A COLD FRONT
EXTENDING SOUTH INTO THE LOWER OH VALLEY REGION. LOCALLY...CONVECTION
AT THIS TIME IS PRIMARILY CONFINED TO AREAS CLOSER TO LAKE CUMBERLAND
AND DOWN IN THE TN VALLEY...THOUGH ISOLATED CONVECTION WAS OCCURRING
OUTSIDE OF THESE AREAS.

OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...THE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH
NORTHEAST AND GRADUALLY EXIT THE LAKE CUMBERLAND AREA. HOWEVER...SOME
OF THE CONVECTION...OR EVENTUAL OUTFLOWS MAY LEAD TO CONVECTION
MOVING INTO OR DEVELOPING OVER THE VA BORDER AREA OF BELL...HARLAN
AND LETCHER COUNTY AREA. ALSO...A BOUNDARY THAT CURRENTLY IS NEAR A
SANDY HOOK TO JKL TO MIDDLESBORO AND THEN EAST INTO NORTHEAST TN
BORDER CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE NORTH AND EAST. THIS MAY ALSO BE A
FOCUS FOR CONVECTION INTO THE EVENING. WITH THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF
THE COLD FRONT AND IN THE WARM SECTOR SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION CANNOT
BE RULED OUT OVERNIGHT...BUT ACTIVITY SHOULD BE MINIMAL FOR MOST
OF...IF NOT THE ENTIRE NIGHT. MANY OF THE SHORT TERM MODELS HAVE
CONVECTION POSSIBLY ENCROACHING ON THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND OPTED
FOR SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS LATE.

ALSO...TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...A SHORTWAVE THAT IS NOW WORKING INTO
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS REGION WILL APPROACH THE MS AND TN VALLEY AND
NEAR THE MID MS AND LOWER OH VALLEY BY WED EVENING. THIS WILL LEAD TO
SFC LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG THE BOUNDARY AND TRACK TOWARD THE
OH...KY AND IN TRI STATE AREA BY 0Z THU. THIS LOW WILL TRACK TOWARD
THE WESTERN END OF LAKE ERIE BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. THIS WILL
GRADUALLY LEAD TO MORE FORCING FOR ASCENT AND MORE FOCUSED COVECTION
BY THE LAST 12 HOURS OF THE PERIOD. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALSO
INDICATE INSTABILITY WILL BE MODERATE AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES AND SFC LOW
DEVELOPS. THE FORECAST DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS ALSO FORECAST TO BE
GREATER THAN TODAY...BUT ONLY MODEST TO MODERATE...ENOUGH FOR MORE
ORGANIZATION...AND GREATER INTENSITY AND COVERAGE WHEN COMBINED WITH
INSTABILITY SPC HAS PLACED THE WESTERN PART OF THE CWA IN A SLIGHT
RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR WEDNESDAY...AND GUSTY WINDS WOULD
APPEAR TO BE THE PRIMARY THREAT AND WITH FREEZING LEVELS ALSO
GRADUALLY LOWERING WITH THE APPROACH OF THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE SOME
HAIL MIGHT ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THIS IS ALREADY HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWO.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

THE MODELS WERE ONCE AGAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE LONG TERM. THE
CONSENSUS VIEW BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND GFS MODELS ARE FOR A LARGE AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE TO MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND EVENTUALLY
INTO NEW ENGLAND. A SURFACE COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM THIS LOW WILL
PROVIDE THE INITIAL TRIGGER FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON
THURSDAY. MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO STREAMING NORTH AHEAD OF
THE FRONT WILL PROVIDE THE FUEL FOR THIS PRECIPITATION. ONCE THE
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT...AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BEGIN TO INFLUENCE OUR AREA AS IT MOVES SLOWLY
SOUTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS SYSTEM
WILL HAVE VERY LIMITED MOISTURE TO WORK AND IS THEREFORE EXPECTED TO
BRING ONLY ISOLATED RAIN SHOWERS TO THE EASTERN CONUS THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT. A MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS IS THEN EXPECTED TO
SETTLE OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK...AS A LARGE
AREA OF CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO PLACE. THIS MUCH COOLER
AIR WILL LEAD TO WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE
PERIOD...WITH DAILY HIGHS IN THE 60S AND NIGHTLY LOWS IN THE 40S
AREA WIDE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 155 PM EDT TUE MAY 13 2014

PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE TAF FORECAST
PERIOD AT THE TAF SITES. SCATTERED TO BROKEN CU WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH
THROUGH 0Z AND DEVELOP AGAIN AROUND 15Z. SOME OF THIS CONVECTION WILL
MOVE CLOSE TO LOZ...SME AND JKL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WITH
THIS IN MIND...HAVE VCTS AT ALL THE TAF SITES THROUGH ABOUT SUNSET.
PATCHY VALLEY FOG WILL FORM AGAIN LATER TONIGHT AND AFFECT VALLEY
LOCATIONS...BUT SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE TAF SITES.

.JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
