AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
1228 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1228 PM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

UPDATED THE FORECAST TO BETTER REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS AND MODEL
TRENDS. THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN KENTUCKY ARE MOVING TO THE
SOUTH AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA OVER THE NEXT TWO HOURS.
A SECONDARY LINE AS PROMISED BY THE HRRR HAS DEVELOPED OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL KENTUCKY. THE MODELS PUTS THIS LINE ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY
THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN THERE IS ANOTHER BATCH FORECAST FOR LATER
THIS EVENING...HOWEVER THE ACTIVITY THIS EVENING WILL BE MUCH MORE
BENIGN THAN THE ONE CURRENTLY MOVING TOWARDS THE AREA. LOOKING AT THE
ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS...THE AREA MOST LIKELY TO SEE STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE WAYNE...MCCREARY...WHITLEY...SOUTHERN KNOT AND
HARLAN COUNTIES AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN WORKED OVER AND WILL HAVE BETTER
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. THE REST OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 1043 AM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

UPDATED THE FORECAST TO BETTER REFLECT CURRENT CONDITIONS AND MODEL
TRENDS. WITH ALL OF THE PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDS THIS MORNING...THE
THREAT OF ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAS GREATLY DIMINISHED BUT IS NOT
ZERO AS SOME PEA SIZED HAIL WAS JUST REPORTED IN SOMERSET. THE HRRR
WAS FORECASTING THAT THE PRECIPITATION OVER EASTERN KENTUCKY WILL BE
DECREASING AND THEN SOME DEVELOPMENT OVER CENTRAL KENTUCKY WILL THEN
MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE HRRR HAS BEEN UNDER
FORECASTING THE CURRENT ACTIVITY...SO CONFIDENCE IS A BIT LOWER THAN
NORMAL.

UPDATE
ISSUED AT 745 AM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

HOURLY GRIDS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS HAVE BEEN UPDATED BASED ON A
COMBINATION OF RECENT OBSERVATION AND RADAR TRENDS. SHORT TERM
GUIDANCE SUCH AS THE HRRR WAS ALSO FACTORED IN FOR CONVECTIVE TRENDS
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 420 AM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

THE REGION REMAINS IN THE WARM SECTOR AT THIS POINT AHEAD OF A
BOUNDARY THAT IS STALL LING OUT AND BECOMING RATHER ILL DEFINED FROM
CENTRAL OH BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST JUST NORTH AND WEST OF THE OHIO
RIVER. AT THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS A SOMEWHAT BROAD TROUGH ENCOMPASSES
MUCH OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION AS WELL AS THE MID AND UPPER MS VALLEY
AND ADJACENT PARTS OF CANADA AND THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS. UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE WESTERN US AND ALSO CENTERED NEAR THE
FL PENINSULA. TWO UPPER LEVEL LOWS WERE CENTERED WITHIN THE
TROUGH...ONE NEARING THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES WITH THE OTHER TO ITS
EAST OVER QUEBEC. WEAK SHORTWAVES WERE ROTATING THROUGH THIS
TROUGH...WITH ONE ENTERING THE OH VALLEY AT THIS TIME. NEAR THE
STALLED BOUNDARY CONVECTION IS OCCURRING ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY AS
WELL AS PARTS OF THE LOWER AND MIDDLE OH VALLEY REGION. AHEAD OF THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW DROPPING INTO THE GREAT LAKES...SFC LOW PRESSURE IS
TRACKING TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES WITH A MORE POTENT COLD FRONT
EXTENDING SOUTHWEST INTO THE PLAINS.

TODAY INTO TONIGHT...THE INITIAL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ON OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WHILE ANOTHER WAVE OR WAVES MOVING
AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WORKING TOWARD THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES
SHOULD ALSO APPROACH THE LOWER OH VALLEY. THIS COMBINATION WILL SEND
THE STRONGER COLD FRONT INTO THE LOWER OH VALLEY LATER TODAY AND THIS
EVENING AND THEN ACROSS EASTERN TONIGHT INTO THE DAY ON TUESDAY.
PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY AND WITH SOME
SURFACE HEATING AND THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR FORCING...ROUNDS OF
CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. WITH THE SHORTWAVE
TO WORK THROUGH THE LOWER OH VALLEY THROUGH THIS MORNING...THE FOCUS
FOR STRONGER CONVECTION SHOULD RESIDE CLOSER TO THE OLD BOUNDARY
ALTHOUGH SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR
SOUTHEASTERN KY. SOMEWHAT LESS INTENSE CONVECTION SHOULD ALSO SPREAD
ACROSS NORTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA ALONG AND BEHIND OUTFLOWS.

FROM MIDDAY THROUGH THE EVENING...AND THE NEXT WAVE APPROACHES AS
WELL AS THE COLD FRONT...CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE INTO EASTERN KY OR
HAVE WEAKENED AND THEN REDEVELOP OVER CENTRAL AND OR EASTERN KY.
PENDING SURFACE HEATING AND INSTABILITY...A FEW STRONGER STORMS WITH
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG TO POSSIBLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE. PW WILL REMAIN HIGH TODAY AND WITH RELATIVELY DEEP WARM
CLOUD DEPTH ANTICIPATED...RAINFALL RATES AROUND TWO INCHES PER OR OR
MORE WILL BE POSSIBLE. ANY LOCATIONS THAT EXPERIENCE REPEATED STORMS
COULD EXPERIENCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLY SOME FLASH
FLOODING. MANY LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN RATHER DRY OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS...SO
SOILS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE QUITE A BIT OF RAIN BEFORE PROBLEMS
MIGHT DEVELOP. EXPECTED CONFIDENCE IN THE LOCATION AND EXTENT OF
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IS NOT ALL THAT HIGH. HOWEVER...RECENT TRENDS
SEEM TO POINT TOWARD THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE AREA POISED TO GET THE
MOST HEATING THIS MORNING.

THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF
BENEFICIAL RAINS IN MANY AREAS WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AS THE COLD
FRONT WORKS INTO THE REGION AND ANOTHER SHORTWAVE OR TWO WORKS
AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WORKING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. DEEPER
MOISTURE BY TONIGHT SHOULD RESIDE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
PARTS OF THE AREA...SO QPF IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE GREATER THAN
AREAS FURTHER NORTH. THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A RUMBLE OF
THUNDER WILL LINGER INTO TUESDAY AS THE BOUNDARY FINALLY DEPARTS THE
REGION AND THE TROUGH AXIS APPROACHES. WITH A COLDER AIRMASS WORKING
INTO THE AREA AND CLOUD AND PRECIPITATION EXPECTED...HIGH TEMPS ON
WED WILL BE NEARLY 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ON AVERAGE...A BREAK FROM
THE RECENT AROUND 90 TO LOW TO MID 90S OVER THE WEEKEND.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 350 AM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

THE MODELS WERE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
THE LARGE SCALE WEATHER PATTERN WILL FEATURE A LARGE RIDGE OF
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE AREA BEGINNING TUESDAY
NIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. THE RIDGE FINALLY BEGINS
TO BREAK DOWN AND MOVE EASTWARD LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY
MORNING AS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE FORMS OVER AND MOVES OUT OF THE
PLAINS. THE START OF THE PERIOD WILL BE MOSTLY DRY...WITH ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND STORMS DEPARTING THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF EASTERN KENTUCKY
INTO VIRGINIA TUESDAY EVENING. AFTER THAT...THE NEXT CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION WILL ARRIVE LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AS SHOWERS AND STORMS
FIRE ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF AN APPROACHING TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE.
BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL DATA...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE THE FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY TIME FRAME...AS
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT MOVERS ACROSS THE AREA. THIS FRONT WILL BE
ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE THAT EVENTUALLY
FORMS OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN GREAT LAKES AND DRIFTS ACROSS THE REST
OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES TO BEGIN
THE PERIOD WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL...AS A COOL AND DRY CANADIAN
AIR MASS SETTLES OVER THE EASTERN CONUS. HIGHS THROUGH SATURDAY ARE
EXPECTED TO BE WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WITH HIGHS
TOPPING OUT MOSTLY IN THE 70S ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 750 AM EDT MON JUL 14 2014

SHRA AND TSRA IS EXPECTED TO NOT REACH MUCH FURTHER SOUTH THAN A SME
TO JKL TO SJS LINE THROUGH ABOUT 16Z. THEREAFTER...SO REDEVELOPMENT
SHOULD BRING AN OR BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE TAF SITES. IN
BOTH AREAS OF CONVECTION...MAINLY MVFR AND LOCALIZED IFR IS ANTICIPATED.
FURTHER SATURATION AND THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT SHOULD LEAD TO
IFR CIGS AFTER 6Z. UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING AND PLACEMENT PRECLUDES
GO WITH PREVAILING TSRA AT ANY POINT JUST YET.
