...Forecast Update...
Issued at 910 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2014

Low-level jet nosing up the Mississippi Valley, with decent moisture
near 850mb as evident by the 5000 ft ceilings showing up some of the
latest METARs across western Kentucky. Overnight precip chances will
boil down to a race between the low-level moisture being drawn
northward into Kentucky, and the cold front pushing in from the
northwest.

The 18Z NAM12 and several other high-resolution models show precip
developing over the Pennyrile region of Kentucky before midnight,
and then quickly being pushed east. Biggest limiting factor is that
there is a lot of low-level dry air to overcome, so will keep POPs
to slight chance over southern Indiana, and no more than 30-40 west
of I-65 in Kentucky. Locations farther to the south and east will
have more time to advect low-level moisture in, so will keep a 40-50
POP there after midnight, but only for a few hrs as it will quickly
taper off from west to east between 09-12Z.

Updated products on the way shortly.

.SHORT TERM (Now through Wednesday Night)...
Issued at 257 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2014

A cool front off to our west this afternoon will press eastward and
cross the LMK CWA between midnight and dawn early Wednesday
morning.  It will be able to tap into Gulf moisture streaming
northward behind high pressure over the Atlantic, resulting in
scattered showers.  Soundings and stability indices suggest some
elevated thunder will be possible as well.  SPC has indicated a
small chance of hail across the Tennessee Valley tonight.  In
Kentucky, wet bulb zero heights are quite low and moisture is very
shallow so any hail that might get manufactured aloft would be very
small and restricted to the far south -- not a major concern.

Will go lower than MOS PoPs for a couple of reasons.  One is that
model QPF has been tremendously overdone today across MS/AL/GA in
our  moisture source region this afternoon.  Another is that
cross-sections show the moisture feed to be very shallow.  So, will
keep PoPs scattered for now despite some likelies in the guidance.
This also fits in well with neighboring offices.

We should have a large variance in low temperatures tonight as the
front moves through, bringing cool air into the northwest first and
thus allowing the southeast to stay warmer longer.  Will go for
upper 30s in southern Indiana and upper 40s near Tennessee.

Wednesday will be dry and pleasant as high pressure moves from the
Ozarks to the upper Ohio Valley. High temperatures will range from
lower 50s to lower 60s.

Wednesday night the next weather maker will already be in the
picture as low pressure crosses Kansas and lifts a warm front into
Kentucky. As a result, showers and elevated thunderstorms will
return to central Kentucky and southern Indiana.  Right now we have
low temperatures ranging from the upper 30s in southern Indiana to
the upper 40s in southern Kentucky, however those numbers will be
adjusted as it becomes more clear exactly where the warm front will
set up, and how far north it travels.

Fortunately rainfall amounts will be light tonight and Wednesday
night, so folks with snow still on the ground or water-logged soil
from recent rain and melting snow shouldn't have to worry about
flooding with these systems.

.LONG TERM (Thursday through Tuesday)...
Issued at 312 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2014

...Strong to Severe Storms Possible Late Thursday Afternoon and
Evening...

The synoptic pattern at the start of the long term period will
feature two potent PV anomalies, one across the Northern Plains,
with another sharply digging into the Central and Southern Plains.
These two systems will phase Thursday over IA/MO, which will induce
a rapidly deepening surface low across MO.  This cyclone will move
northeast into the Great Lakes by Friday night, strengthening to a
sub-980mb system.  A strong cold front associated with this cyclone
will rapidly sweep eastward into the Ohio Valley late Thursday
afternoon into Thursday night, providing the focus for a round of
strong to severe thunderstorms.  Let's get to the details.

Thursday morning the Ohio Valley will be within a zone of strong
isentropic ascent in response to the approaching system.  Therefore,
think a NW to SE oriented band of showers and isolated thunderstorms
will be lifting northeast across the region within this regime, as
the surface warm front also lifts north through the region.  By late
Thursday morning into early afternoon, precipitation will likely
wind down for a short time, as the LMK CWA becomes well established
within the warm sector.  Winds will increase to 20-30mph, with some
gusts around 40mph not out of the question.  If some peeks of sun
are realized during the afternoon helping to aid in mixing, then
gusts may even be higher than that.  A Wind Advisory could be
required at some point to address these strong winds.

Things begin to get interesting late Thursday afternoon into
Thursday evening, as the strong cold front quickly accelerates
toward the region.  Guidance is still in a bit of disagreement with
fropa, with the NAM being the quickest, the GFS the middle man, and
the ECMWF the slowest.  Given pretty good consistency within the
GFS and strong agreement with its ensemble, will lean toward its
timing.  Showers and thunderstorms will likely break out by early
Thursday afternoon west of the region, across eastern MO, southern
IL, and western KY, before racing east into the region by the late
afternoon or early evening.  These initial storms may be
semi-discrete, but think a quick upscale growth into a QLCS appears
likely, given the rapid intensification of the kinematic forcing as
this system quickly organizes (helping to back 0-6km shear vectors
more parallel to the front).  The strong dynamical forcing along the
surface cold front will quickly drive this QLCS into KY and southern
IN, likely moving at 45-55 knots as it plows through.

The main threat with this convection is certainly damaging winds.
Winds at 2000 ft above ground will increase to near 50 knots, with
850mb winds around 60-70 knots.  It won't take much to mix these
winds down.  Some isolated tornadoes will also be possible, as 0-1
shear increases to 40 knots, mostly due to speed shear.  However,
there is a bit of directional shear from the surface up to about
850mb (especially on the GFS solution), which could aid in hodograph
curvature and the overall tornado threat.  Will be adding isolated
tornado warning into the HWO, but think the QLCS storm mode and
degree of instability will help to limit the overall threat.
Speaking of instability, that continues to remain the big question
with this system.  Almost all guidance hints on at least some
surface-based instability, but the values differ a bit (anywhere
from less than 100 to around 700 J/kg).  The magnitude of the event
will likely hinge on this instability, so we will need to watch
surface temps and dewpoints throughout the day as the system
evolves.  If dewpoints rise to 60F or above and temperatures push
into the upper 60s and 70s under some peeks of sunshine Thursday
afternoon, then the threat may be higher.  Will be watching this
closely.

The storms quickly end overnight Thursday, as slightly cooler air
works into the region.  The rest of the long term period looks
relatively benign, with perhaps a weak system Saturday night and
Sunday and another one early next week.  High temperatures Friday
and Saturday will be in the 50s, but will drop into the lower 40s
and 30s by early next week.

.AVIATION (06Z TAF Update)...
Updated at 1220 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2014

A quick moving cold front and upper level trough will swing through
the region early this morning bringing a strong LLJ and isld-sct
thunderstorms.  Thunderstorm activity has increased rapidly over the
past hour in an area of enhanced ascent and 50kt SW LLJ ahead of the
trough and cold front.  Expect the terminals to at least see VCTS
through 10-11Z.  Chances of a t-storm hitting the terminals look
pretty likely at this point based on observed t-storm coverage on
area radar so will include a tempo group with wind gusts up to 35
kts and MVFR conditions in -TSRA.  Any t-storm will be quick hitting
and brief in nature as storm motions are 50-55 kts from the SW.

Will continue the LLWS mention in the TAFs as KHPX is already
reading SW LLJ of 58 kts at 1.3 kft.  The LLJ will decline after the
front/convection clear the area around 10-11Z.

Next high pressure builds quickly behind the front, so expect VFR
conditions and WNW winds around 10 kt for the daylight hours today.
Winds will be light and variable tonight with cigs beginning to
lower.
