Area forecast discussion, Oct 7, 6:21 PM EDT, 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 621 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2014 ...Mesoscale Forecast Update... Issued at 620 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2014 A supercell has gotten organized right along the aforementioned boundary in Oldham County. This storm will continue to work ESE along the boundary where effective SRH values of 200-300 m2/s2 are expected. Along the boundary these values are likely even more enhanced. Rotation has been observed by local television media in Charlestown, IN and possible tornado was reported just north of La Grange in Oldham County. Nothing confirmed at this time. This storm has potential to be tornadic since it is associated with the boundary. Areas toward Buckner, Ballardsville, and La Grange should be prepared for this potentially tornadic storm. Issued at 600 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2014 The first batch of storms is exiting to CWA to our east, however will continue to monitor for signs of new storm development. Of particular interest is a boundary noticeable on visible satellite imagery. This boundary stretches east-southeastward from Paoli, IN to eastern Jefferson county Kentucky, over to just north of Lexington. Seeing some enhanced cu along this feature, along with some weak convective development along the I-64 corridor toward Lexington. With some weak moisture convergence in this area and a still unstable environment, storms may once again develop through the early evening hours. Should storms develop and get organized, they would continue to have potential to go severe with large hail and the threat of damaging winds. Will also have an isolated tornado threat as effective SRH values range in the 200-400 m2/s2. The Tornado Watch will be left in place for now. .SHORT TERM (Now through Wednesday Night)... Issued at 320 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2014 ...Strong to Severe Storms Possible Late This Afternoon and Evening... The synoptic pattern this afternoon features a deamplifying trough across the eastern CONUS, with an upstream ridge over the western CONUS. This regime will continue to flatten out through the short term period, bringing more tranquil conditions. A severe thunderstorm has already erupted this afternoon over portions of southern IN and northern KY. This storm continues to ride along an effective warm front, which resides across southern IN southeast into the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. As of 315PM EDT, it was slightly elevated, but could become surface-based at any time as temperature/moisture advection continue to the south. Given favorable effective SRH values of 200-300+ m2/s2, this storm will continue to be watched for tornadic potential. Considerable uncertainty continues in just how far southwest convection will develop late this afternoon/evening. Coordinated with SPC and put out the tornado watch as far south as a line from Hart to Casey County. However, think the best coverage of thunderstorms will likely remain north of this, across portions of the Northern Bluegrass. More scattered convection could affect these southern areas this evening, likely after 22Z as a weakly convergent front pushes into the region. Given only weak convergence, coupled with building heights aloft and associated mid-level subsidence, it is uncertain how robust these storms will be able to get. Bottom line is: highest confidence in severe and associated tornado threat across northern KY (northern Bluegrass), with less confidence in the severe threat further southwest across central KY. In addition to the tornado threat, large hail and damaging winds will be possible. Otherwise, convection will push east tonight, as we finally see a reprieve from precipitation chances. Clouds should clear out overnight, which will help with the viewing of the lunar eclipse Wednesday morning. Overnight lows will fall into the upper 40s to mid 50s. On Wednesday, skies will turn partly cloudy as the upper-level flow turns more zonal. Given the expected sunshine and warmer 850mb temperatures, highs should top out in the low to mid 70s, making for quite a pleasant day. The next system will approach the region from the southwest late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. Isentropic ascent will commence as the flow rides up a sharpening warm front across portions of western TN. This may lead to some showers or an isolated storm pushing into portions of southern KY toward 12Z Thursday. Overnight lows will range from the mid 40s northeast (northern Bluegrass) to the mid 50s southwest (near Bowling Green). .LONG TERM (Thursday through Tuesday)... Issued at 315 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2014 ...Periods of rain expected late this week through the weekend... We will be in an active weather pattern through the long term with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected. For Thursday a weak disturbance will dive towards the region in the northwest flow aloft. In addition a boundary will set up across central Kentucky. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop during the day. Rain chances will be on the increase Thursday night with likely showers and thunderstorms continuing on Friday as an elongated area of low pressure moves into the region from the southwest. With ample moisture feeding into this system from the south and southwest some of these showers could produce moderate to heavy rainfall at times. As the low moves off to the northeast it will slowly drag a cold front through central Kentucky. Rounds of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms will continue through the weekend as the boundary stalls and multiple disturbances ride along it. This boundary will eventually push back to the north as a low moves into southern Indiana. The models begin to diverge in their solutions towards the end of the long term. Thus will continue to carry just 30-40% chance of precipitation through Monday. Temperatures will be quite variable from north to south across the region this weekend and will depend on precipitation coverage as well as how far south the front sinks. A warm up is expected early next week with temperatures rising into the mid 70s Monday. && .AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)... Issued at 121 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2014 Several rounds of convection continue to plague terminals early this afternoon. One round continues to push east and will affect KLEX very shortly. A second round is pushing in from the northwest, and may build back to the southwest, affecting KSDF and KLEX. KBWG looks to be on the southern edge of the better forcing with a building capping inversion. Will cautiously take precip out of the KBWG TAF with this issuance, and continue to monitor. Outside of any convection, expect VFR conditions with gusty winds around 25 knots, perhaps approaching 30 knots (especially at KBWG) at times. Otherwise, convection will push east of all terminals tonight, as some drier air finally works into the region. Clouds should scatter out as winds relax overnight into Wednesday, with VFR conditions expected. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
