RAYWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Jul 14, 8:45 AM EDT, 2 hours 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 8:45 AM EDT, 2 hours 12 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 845 AM EDT TUE JUL 14 2015 .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 356 AM EDT TUE JUL 14 2015 COMPLICATED SEVERE WEATHER FORECAST SCENARIO IS UNFOLDING FOR TODAY. THIS MORNING WE DO HAVE ONGOING CONVECTION MOVING SLOWLY SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION. THE SLOW MOVEMENT AND DEEP MOISTURE WITH PWATS NEAR 2 INCHES HAS LEAD TO POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING ALONG AND NEAR THIS LINE OF CONVECTION. THE OVERALL INTENSITY ACROSS EASTERN KY HAS BEEN MINIMAL WITH A FEW MESONET SITES SEEING SOME 30 PLUS MPH GUSTS AT MOST THUS FAR...HOWEVER WE ARE WATCHING CONVECTION THAT HAS SUSTAINED OVERNIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KY THIS MORNING. THIS AREA SEEMS MORE FAVORABLE WHERE GOOD THETA/E GRADIENT EXISTS NEAR SURFACE BOUNDARY AND ALSO MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 7.0 C/KM PLUS NUDGING INTO THAT AREA WITH THE 500MB JET. THEREFORE THINK SOME STRONGER STORMS MAYBE ABLE TO MAKE THERE WAY ACROSS SW PORTIONS OF THE CWA THROUGH THE MORNING. THIS MORNING CONVECTION DOES LEAVE A BIT MORE UNCERTAINTY INTO WHAT CAN HAPPEN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MODELS ARE A BIT UNCERTAIN ON ONGOING CONVECTION THIS MORNING...WHICH LEAVES CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY INTO THE AFTERNOON. ALL THAT SAID IT DOES APPEAR THERE WILL BE SOME TIME IN BETWEEN MORNING CONVECTION TO DESTABILIZE ACROSS THE REGION. THEREFORE MODEL SOUNDINGS WOULD SUGGEST AT LEAST MODERATE UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL BUILD IN WITH MLCAPES APPROACHING 3000 J/KG. THIS WILL COUPLE WITH STRONG TROUGH THAT IS PROGGED TO DIVE SE OUT OF THE UPPER MIDWEST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL LEAD TO DECENT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND 7 C/KM OR HIGHER. ALSO AS TROUGH APPROACHES BRINGING JET ENERGY AND AIDING TO INDUCE LOW LEVEL JET WILL LEAD TO DEEP LAYER SHEAR WITH VEERING PROFILES. THEREFORE SOME OF THE STORMS WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE DISCRETE. ALL THIS WILL LEAD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF LARGE HAIL DESPITE HIGHER FREEZING LEVELS...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH DCAPES AOA 1000 J/KG...AND EVEN POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TORNADOES. HOWEVER OUT OF ALL OF THE THREATS STILL MOST CONCERNED ABOUT THE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL OVERALL. ALSO GOES WITHOUT SAYING GIVEN THE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF CONVECTION OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...WOULD EXPECT FLASH FLOOD THREAT TO CONTINUE. MANY AREAS ACROSS THE REGION HAVE SUB 1 INCH ONE HOUR FFG. RIGHT NOW THINK THE BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING 20Z TO 3Z AND THIS WILL HAVE TO BE FINE TUNED IN SUBSEQUENT UPDATES ONCE A BETTER FEEL IS HAD ON ONGOING CONVECTION. THIS CONVECTION WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. WHERE THE REGION WILL FINALLY SEE A REPRIEVE OVERALL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES EAST AND HEIGHTS RISE. .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 720 AM EDT TUE JUL 14 2015 THE MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ALOFT THROUGH THE BULK OF THE EXTENDED. THEY ALL DEPICT HEIGHT RISES THROUGH KENTUCKY TO END THE WORK WEEK IN THE WAKE OF A SHARP TROUGH MOVING OFF TO THE EAST OF THE AREA. AS THE RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL RIDE EAST ON ITS NORTHERN FRINGES... RUNNING GENERALLY ALONG THE OHIO RIVER LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING. AFTER THIS MID LEVEL WAVE PASSES WE WILL SEE THE SOUTHERN RIDGE BUILD MORE EFFECTIVELY INTO THE STATE HOWEVER...PROBABLY NOT TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO SHUT DOWN CONVECTION. IT DOES APPEAR... THOUGH...THAT THE TRAIN OF SHORTWAVES THAT HAVE SPANWED THE ORGANIZED AND DEADLY SYSTEMS OF THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS WILL LIFT TOO FAR NORTH OF THE AREA TO HAVE MUCH OF AN IMPACT THROUGH AT LEAST THE WEEKEND. THIS MAY CHANGE BY MONDAY...THOUGH...AS ANOTHER STRONG TROUGH WILL SINK OUT OF CANADA SWEEPING ITS WAY TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY WITH FALLING HEIGHTS AND MORE ENERGY PACKETS CROSSING THE AREA AS IT DOES SO. GIVEN THE PRETTY GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ALOFT A GENERAL MODEL CONSENSUS IS PREFERRED FOR THE ENTIRE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST. SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL SEE AN INCREASINGLY HOT AND HUMID SETUP FOR EAST KENTUCKY THROUGH THE BULK OF THE EXTENDED. SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAKE FOR A PLEASANT DAY ON THURSDAY WITH THE COLD FRONT FINALLY TO THE SOUTH. THE WARMTH AND HUMIDITY RETURN ON FRIDAY AS THE FRONT LIFTS BACK NORTH AND FADES OUT...THOUGH SOME LATE DAY CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE. FOR THE WEEKEND...AIR MASS THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN ADDITION...THE HEAT WILL BUILD WITH LOW 90S A GOOD BET FOR MANY PLACES BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. MONDAY WILL SEE THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT AND A BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS...STILL LARGELY DIURNALLY DRIVEN...WHILE THE HEAT REMAINS WITH MORE LOW 90S ON TAP. HEAT INDICES WILL PEAK BETWEEN 95 AND 100 DEGREES EACH AFTERNOON FROM FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY. THE CR GRID BLEND CAME IN REASONABLY WELL WITH THE BULK OF ANY ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE POPS AND SKY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE DIURNAL CYCLE WITH THESE GRIDS. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...DID TOUCH THE LOWS A BIT EACH NIGHT TO REPRESENT JUST MINOR TERRAIN EFFECTS IN THIS CONTINUING HIGH MOISTURE ENVIRONMENT. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY MORNING) ISSUED AT 845 AM EDT TUE JUL 14 2015 STILL A BATCH OF CONVECTION TO GO THROUGH THE SME AND LOZ SITES THIS MORNING WITH LOWER CIGS AND VIS ALONG WITH PLENTY OF TS. THIS WILL CLEAR OUT SHORTLY...THOUGH...WITH IMPROVING CONDITIONS THROUGH THE MORNING. HOWEVER...THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL COME AT A PRICE AND WE WILL LIKELY SEE ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND STORMS DEVELOP LATER IN THE DAY WITH THE BEST MID LEVEL SUPPORT FOR THE EVENING HOURS. ACCORDINGLY...ALL SITES HAVE VCTS RETURNING TO THEIR TAFS AFTER 20Z. THERE MAY BE A NEED TO EXTEND THAT THROUGH 03 OR 04Z SHOULD THE LATEST NAM12 IDEA PAN OUT FROM SOMETHING DEVELOPING IN THE NORTHEAST AND SHIFTING SOUTH...SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE CWA. FOG AND LOW CIGS MAY FOLLOW THROUGH THE NIGHT. WINDS WILL BE BREEZY FROM THE SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE DAY WITH HIGHER GUSTS EXPECTED IN ANY STORMS. LOOK FOR THE SPEEDS TO SETTLE DOWN LATE IN THE EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT...GENERALLY OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
