AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
321 PM EDT Sat Aug 2 2014

.SHORT TERM (Now through Sunday Night)...
Issued at 317 PM EDT Sat Aug 2 2014

Remainder of this evening:

Storms that have been affecting the Bluegrass region this afternoon
will continue to slowly push off toward the east and wane after
sunset. Ingredients that have come together to fuel them has been
steep low-level lapse rates, lifting aloft as a trough axis and vort
max rotates on through the Ohio Valley, ~2000 J/kg of SBCAPE, and
PWATs around an inch and a quarter. Latest theta-e and low-level
PWAT analysis (courtesy of CIMMS' NearCast model) depicts the
greater values, along with DCAPE (SPC's MesoAnalysis), moving off
toward the east/already east of the forecast area, respectively.
Thus far, the storms have been below severe criteria and are
anticipated to remain this way as they exit.

Tonight:

Satellite imagery and surface obs are already showing clearing
behind the precip and this trend is expected to continue overnight,
leaving mostly clear skies by early Sunday morning. Could see some
light fog develop in prone locations as the dewpoint depression
decreases into the pre-dawn hours and winds become nearly calm. Lows
are expected to be below normal, in the lower 60s area-wide.

Tomorrow & tomorrow night:

Despite this current shortwave moving on out, another broad trough
will take its place but won't bring any active weather for the
remainder of the short-term period. Surface high pressure and
mid-level dry air will be in place on Sunday, eliminating precip
chances. Lower-level moisture will linger, allowing for
diurnally-driven clouds to develop in the afternoon but then leaving
mostly clear skies in the overnight period with the loss of daytime
heating. Highs look to range from the low 80s in the Bluegrass where
there may be a bit more cloud cover, to the upper 80s in the dry SW.
Lows tomorrow night will still be below normal, ranging from the low
to mid 60s.

.LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday)...
Issued at 245 PM EDT Sat Aug 2 2014

Mon/Tues we'll be dry with troughing aloft and weak high pressure at
the sfc.  Temps will be near normal with highs in the mid to upper
80s and lows in the 60s.

We'll then enter an active pattern again as a front becomes stalled
some where near the Ohio Valley.  Models have varied from run to run
on exact timing of when the front will settle over the Ohio Valley
and for how long.  The 12Z GFS now has the front dropping south into
our region starting Tues evening while the 12Z Euro is delayed until
late in the day Wed.  Multiple shortwaves then look to ride along
the front providing on and off showers/storms to the region for the
latter half of this coming week.  The GFS would have the boundary
south of us by Fri night ending rainfall while the Euro hangs it
around through Sun night.  Confidence is low in timing out rainfall
chances in this type of pattern so will keep POPs low throughout the
coming week.  Temps should stay in the mid 80s for highs with 60s
for lows.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 102 PM EDT Sat Aug 2 2014

The focus for thunderstorm activity is already shifting eastward
as the better instability and moisture moves in that direction. This
convection is not expected to have any major impacts and will likely
remain isolated to perhaps scattered in nature across central and
eastern KY. Have introduced VCTS for the LEX terminal through 22Z as
confidence grows slightly for convection in the area. High-res
models suggest that thunderstorms will wane as the evening
progresses, diminishing completely after sunset tonight. Skies will
clear out as high pressure moves in and northerly winds will die
down. Model guidance is suggesting some light fog or haze at LEX and
BWG but given the uncertainty at this time, have not included
mention in this update. May need to be added to future updates, if
warranted.

For Sunday, a low-level deck of diurnally-driven clouds are
anticipated to develop but will otherwise be a calm, quiet day for
aviation interests. Expect light winds generally out of the NE.
