SCHOETTMERWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Louisville, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 14, 1:29 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 14, 1:29 PM EDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 129 PM EDT Wed May 14 2014 ...Updated Aviation Discussion... ...Forecast Update... Issued at 120 PM EDT Wed May 14 2014 An update has been issued to include Tornado Watch #154 which is valid until 800 PM EDT. Convection has started to develop rapidly as we have destabilized across the region. Two waves of storms are expected across the region. Wave number one is currently moving through south-central Kentucky and will affect the eastern half of the forecast area this afternoon. Greatest coverage will be from Lake Cumberland northward into the Bluegrass region including Lexington Metro over the next several hours. A secondary wave is developing from near Jackson, TN southward toward Meridian, MS. This line will lift NNE and into western Kentucky later this afternoon and evening. The main threat with both waves continues to be damaging winds and large hail. However, as surface low deepens and moves northeastward, the low-level wind flow is forecast to back to the southeast, increasing low-level shear profiles across the region. This will result in the potential for storms to acquire rotating updrafts with the possibility of isolated tornadoes. The greatest threat of tornadoes still appears to be focused along and east of the I-65 corridor. In addition to the severe weather threat, high moisture content in the atmosphere will result in any storm being an efficient rainer. Training storms could produce locally heavy rainfall with 1-1.5 in/hr rain rates which could result in flash flooding. Update issued at 1014 AM EDT Wed May 14 2014 Did a quick update to trend PoPs and temperatures closer to observations. Surface cold frontal boundary is draped across central KY this morning. Main batch of rainfall in the form of rain showers with embedded thunderstorms continues to stream northward on the cool side of the boundary..mainly west of I-65. Have had some localized heavy band of rainfall that affected portions of southern Indiana. These heavier bands have shifted northward into central Indiana while lighter showers continue to stream in from the south. There is a very strong cloud and temperature gradient across the region this morning. In our eastern areas, we have partly to mostly sunny skies with readings in the upper 60s to the lower 70s. West of I-65, temperatures are generally in the upper 50s to the lower 60s. Surface warm front to the south is expected to advance northward today which should allow temperatures to war into the middle to upper 70s in the east. However, continued cloud cover will likely keep temperatures in the lower to middle 60s out across the west with mid-upper 60s in the I-65 corridor. Two emerging threats are on the table for this afternoon/evening. The first is the potential for strong to severe convection and the second will be locally heavy rainfall amounts. With regards to severe potential, combination of surface heating and strengthening ascent aloft along with surface convergence should result in a uptick in convective activity this afternoon despite the widespread convection we've seen this morning. While mid-level lapse rates are generally weak, we do have an anomalously high moisture content with precipitable water amounts above 1.5 inches. Thus, adequate moisture is in place for sustained convection. Interesting aspect of the event is the developing surface low to our southwest. As this feature lifts northeastward, we will see the low-level wind fields back to the southeast ahead of the approaching low. With decent mid-level flow pushing into the region aloft, combined with the backed flow at the surface will likely result in veered wind profiles supportive of rotating updrafts with convection. While the overall severe weather parameters support more of a damaging wind threat, isolated tornadoes will be possible mainly along and east of the I-65 corridor this afternoon. Antecedent tornado threat may continue into the early evening hours as the mid-level jet max swings through the Ohio Valley. The second threat will be the potential for heavy rainfall with convection this afternoon and evening. As previously mentioned, anomalous moisture exists across the region and the strong southerly flow off the gulf will continue to transport copious amounts of moisture into the Ohio Valley. Good surface confluence and associated upper dynamics will likely lead to N-S oriented bands of showers and storms that may train over areas. 1-1.5 inch per hour rain rates are very likely with this activity that may lead to flash flooding across our central and eastern counties this afternoon and evening. Highest moisture flux convergence values appear to be maximized in the 14/21Z to 15/00Z time frame...which coincides with the maximum diurnal heating curve. For this reason, will be tweaking up QPF forecasts a bit and will also mention heavy rainfall in the forecast grids. .SHORT TERM (Now through Thursday)... Issued at 300 AM EDT Wed May 14 2014 Surface front has hung up somewhere in the I-65 corridor, with the wind shift a bit farther east and the actual temp/dewpoint discontinuity hanging back to the west. Sharp upper trof is still over the Plains, with a respectable moisture feed fueling convection over the Mississippi Valley, and hints of a surface wave developing over the Deep South. Most of central Kentucky and southern Indiana are currently rain-free, but scattered showers and a few T-storms have started to blossom over middle Tennessee within the last hour. Low-level jetting isn't too impressive, but there is plenty of low-level moisture to sustain any showers that try to push north out of Tennessee this morning. The upper trof will deepen as it pushes east, and with the resulting deepening of the surface wave, the boundary will lift north and west again, putting more of central Kentucky into the warm sector. Will carry categorical POPs, as multiple waves of showers and storms will move through today and into tonight. Forecast soundings show decent unidirectional shear, but anywhere that surface winds back in response to the deepening of the surface low, some directional shear will develop, and it will be concentrated in the lowest 1-2 km. Rotating storms will be possible, and the main limiting factor in their severe potential will be how much instability develops. Average QPF on the order of an inch is not a big deal, but with multiple rounds of precip, any location that sees training storms could easily get 2+ inches as PWATs will be solidly above the 75th percentile for May. By Thursday the moisture feed is shunted off to the east, but the upper low will close off over Wisconsin. Cold pool aloft will keep us quite cloudy, and 850mb temps could plunge as low as +1 to +3C. If this verifies our current max temp forecast in the lower 60s could even be generous. .LONG TERM (Thursday night through Tuesday)... Issued at 300 AM EDT Wed May 14 2014 A deep mid-level trough will push south and east over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley late this week. Ahead of this trough scattered showers will be possible late Thursday night and Friday. There could be a brief period for thunder Friday afternoon before capping works in aloft, but the chance seems fairly isolated at this time. As the trough lifts to the northeast through the weekend, any afternoon instability showers that develop will be mainly across our north and northeastern forecast area Saturday. As we head from Sunday into the new work week, warm-air advection on the back side of this upper trough should result in isentropically forced showers and perhaps storms early Sunday morning. The latest guidance keeps most of this activity across the Tennessee Valley, generally well south of our area. However, the GFS brings some of the precip across our southern counties. We already had slight chance PoPs going, so will keep those in place for now. If this trough is more amplified/deeper Saturday night than what the GFS depicts, then all precip will be south of the forecast area. Will keep an eye on trends the next day or so. The trough moves east Monday and Tuesday, with heights aloft increasing as ridging pushes east from the Plains. Expect the dry conditions to continue through Tuesday with a warming trend on tap. With the deep, anomalous trough axis aloft during the beginning of the long-term period, temperatures Friday and Saturday will be some 10-15 degrees below normal for this time of year. High temperatures are only expected to reach the lower to middle 60s, with overnight lows in the 40s. Then we will begin to warm into next week. Highs of middle and upper 70s Sunday will give way to low and middle 70s by Tuesday. && .AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)... Issued at 125 PM EDT Wed May 14 2014 Stalled out cold front currently resides across central Kentucky this afternoon. A developing area of low pressure over west-central Mississippi is forecast to move northeastward through KY later this afternoon and evening. This will bring several waves of showers and thunderstorms to the region. Ceilings and visibilities will fluctuate this afternoon at the terminals. For the most part, VFR conditions will prevail outside of any thunderstorms. Within the thunderstorms, gusty winds and ceilings/visibilities dropping to IFR levels can be expected. The best chances of convection look to be between 14/18Z and 15/00Z. Once the wave of low pressure pulls off to the east, combination of low clouds and fog/haze/mist will be likely at the terminals tonight. MVFR visibilities and IFR ceilings are likely to be found at the terminals after 15/02Z. Surface winds will start off light and variable, then shift to the southeast this afternoon. After the low moves northeast of the region, southwesterly winds are expected...which will gradually turn more west/northwesterly toward 15/12Z. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
