Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 3:53 PM EDT, 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 353 PM EDT TUE AUG 4 2015 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE AUG 4 2015 A NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY REMAINS DRAPED FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS HAS SERVED AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON...AND ONCE AGAIN WE ARE DEALING WITH SOME HEAVY RAINERS. WE DO EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO DISSIPATE THIS EVENING...AND WILL DECREASE RAIN CHANCES AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...WHILE A COUPLE OF MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGHS MOVE EAST FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE OH VALLEY. A RATHER NEBULOUS WAVE WILL AFFECT THE REGION LATER TONIGHT...AND HAVE INCREASED RAIN CHANCES AGAIN LATE TONIGHT FOR THE WESTERN PART OF THE AREA. A SECOND AND MUCH STRONGER WAVE WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WHILE THERE IS GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON A STRONG WAVE MOVING INTO THE OH VALLEY...EXACTLY WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN AXIS WILL SET UP IS IN QUESTION. HOWEVER WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASING...THE POSSIBILITY FOR TRAINING...AND THE THREAT FOR MORE WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH BEGINNING 11 PM WEDNESDAY AND RUNNING TO 7 AM FRIDAY. THIS IS FOR ALL BUT THE MOST SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES. .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY) ISSUED AT 352 PM EDT TUE AUG 4 2015 MODELS CONTINUE TO COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH A MODESTLY AMPLIFIED MID/UPPER LEVEL LONG WAVE PATTERN TO START OUT THE EXTENDED. WE FIND OUR AREA UNDER THE INFLUENCES OF NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH WEAK EMBEDDED IMPULSES THROUGH THE MID TERM. THEN WE FINISH UP THE EXTENDED WITH ANOTHER RESPECTABLE SHORTWAVE THAT MOVES OUT OF THE UPPER MIDWEST AND THAT REINFORCES AN EASTERN CONUS MEAN TROUGH. FIRST TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE OH/TN VALLEY REGIONS WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. HOWEVER...THERE CONTINUE TO BE SOME SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES AT THE SFC. ATTM AMPLE MOISTURE...A RELATIVELY SLOW MOVING SFC SYSTEM...THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING AND OTHER FAVORABLE HYDRO PARAMETERS SUGGEST THAT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAY BECOME A CONCERN FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY EVENING. HOWEVER...MUCH WILL DEPEND ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SFC WAVE WHICH THE 12Z GFS TAKES FURTHER TO OUR SOUTH. WITH THE MORE SOUTHERLY PATH OF THE GFS ITS AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS...AS WOULD BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE HEART OF THE COMMONWEALTH. THE 0Z ECMWF AND 12Z NAM KEEP THE STORM TRACK FURTHER NORTH AND CONSEQUENTLY HEAVIEST AXIS OF RAIN ALONG AND EITHER SIDE OF THE OHIO RIVER. THOUGHTS ARE TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE WINDOW OF CONCERN...WHICH WILL STRADDLE THE SHORT AND LONG TERM FORECAST PERIODS. THEREAFTER DETAILS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE PATTERN REMAIN LOWER CONFIDENCE. AS SUCH...STAYED PRETTY CLOSE TO THE OFFERED BLENDED GUIDANCE. WILL BE INCREASING POPS INTO CATEGORICAL TERRITORY FOR THURSDAY PROPER. THE BOUNDARY WILL SAG SOUTHEAST BEHIND THE DEPARTING SFC LOW AND DISSIPATE BY THE WEEKEND...ALLOWING FOR MAINLY DRY WEATHER. MEAN EASTERN CONUS TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY AGAIN ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY BY EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK...BRINGING ANOTHER FRONTAL ZONE WITH ASSOCIATED WEATHER THROUGH THE AREA AND TO OUR SOUTH. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 124 PM EDT TUE AUG 4 2015 A STALLED FRONT REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS KENTUCKY. THIS WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE CHANCE OF ANY SPECIFIC TAF SITE BEING AFFECTED IS LOW...AND EXPECT ANY STORMS TO MAINLY OCCUR ACROSS THE SW HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH THIS IN MIND WILL CARRY VCTS AT JKL...LOZ AND SME FOR A FEW HOURS BEGINNING AT 21Z. FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT...REDUCING VISIBILITY TO IFR OR WORSE UNTIL AROUND 13Z ON WEDNESDAY. OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS OR LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING FOG...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
