AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
253 PM EDT Wed Jun 4 2014

.SHORT TERM (Now through Thursday Night)...
Issued at 245 PM EDT Wed Jun 4 2014

...SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE LIKELY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY WITH DAMAGING
WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES...

With upper level clouds dissipating from the earlier MCS, we now
have heated up into the low to mid 80s across most of the region,
save for the northeast. Low pressure now is analyzed over west
central Indiana, along a frontal boundary. Clouds are developing
ahead of this front now that we are starting to destabilize. As we
get into the mid 80s we should see development quicken. Airmass is
moist enough that we may actually get some development ahead of the
cells that should drop down from the north. Will have to monitor
discrete development at first for rotating cells. High res models
continue to show these cell merging into a long east-west line with
embedded bowing segments, so will continue to advertise the damaging
wind threat.

With the rotating cell threat, have coordinated with SPC to have a
tornado watch first over our eastern CWA.  Convective inhibition is
keeping stronger cells from forming farther east, but another watch
box may be needed over the west in the next couple of hours. The
GOES-R convective initiation tool is starting to show some higher
percentages over the watch area.

Decided not to post a flash flood watch for our Bluegrass counties,
as they missed out on most of the morning rains that our neigboring
forecast areas received. That area does have lower flash flood
guidance, but one hour guidance is just under 2 inches and think
cells will be progressive enough to stay under these values.

The threat for severe storms should wane as we go through the
evening hours. The front will push through the Ohio River Valley
overnight and Thursday morning. A chance of storms will linger
across south central Kentucky during the day Thursday, but most of
the region should see a pleasant day with highs in the upper 70s to
around 80 as well as dewpoints in the mid 50s over the north and low
60s over the Parkways in KY.

Models are hinting at potentially another wave developing overnight
in Missouri and pushing toward our western forecast area by
daybreak.

.LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)...
Issued at 250 PM EDT Wed Jun 4 2014

The long term will start out with weak ridging aloft and at the
surface. The cold front that passed through should be well to the
south of the forecast area by this time. A weak wave will ride along
this boundary bringing the chance for some showers and thunderstorms
to far southern and western portions of the forecast area. The
storms should diminish after sunset with dry conditions expected
overnight. Storms will then begin to develop across the southwest
portions of the forecast area again on Saturday as a low pressure
system develops to the west. Rain and storms chances will increase
overnight a warm front associated with the low pressure system moves
north across the area.

Model guidance begins to diverge Sunday and after as the ECMWF
swings the cold front associated with this front through much
quicker than the GFS. The former brings the front through during the
day on Sunday, while the latter keeps the area in the warm sector
through the daylight hours. Will keep pops around 50% though the day
Sunday and decrease them a bit into the overnight hours.

Through the first half of the next work week multiple upper level
disturbance may track across the lower Ohio Valley. Hwever, the GFS
is much more robust than the ECMWF with these disturbances and
suggest higher precipitation coverage. However, given the
uncertainty will keep precipitation chances in the slight category
for now.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 125 PM EDT Wed Jun 4 2014

Low pressure area analyzed over west central Indiana is along a
frontal boundary stretching from KSTL to roughly KILN. Earlier
storms have provided some inhibition from new development, but now
that those clouds are dissipating, we expect new development both
along this front and with other boundaries in the area, given the
soupy airmass in place. These storms have the best chance to get
into the KSDF area first, then KLEX and KBWG, with gusty winds,
perhaps higher than what I have in tempo groups, but will narrow
down the threat as storms evolve. The front will come through after
midnight, swinging winds around first to northwesterly then
northeasterly during the day Thursday. Model soundings indicate a
period of MVFR cigs behind the front, so have included until we can
warm up some mid morning Thursday.
