What 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 Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 9, 1:49 PM EDT, 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 1:49 PM EDT, 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
149 PM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1058 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

BASED ON OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS AND LATEST SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE WILL
BE INCREASING RAIN CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN THE
CENTRAL TO NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 958 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

WILL NEED TO MONITOR CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CURRENTLY IN CENTRAL KY AS
IT MOVES EAST INTO FORECAST AREA. A SMALL BOWING SEGMENT NORTH OF
BOWLING GREEN IS MOVING EAST AROUND 50 KNOTS...AND IF IT HOLDS
TOGETHER WILL MOVE INTO FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 11 AM AND NOON. SPC
DID EXTEND MARGINAL RISK AREA FURTHER SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHEAST KY
FOR THIS AFTERNOON...AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME STRONG
STORMS ACROSS OUR AREA. WHILE THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CONTINUES TO WEAKEN...EXPECT STRENGTHENING
OR REDEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF LINE DURING THE
EARLY AFTERNOON IN OUR AREA. WILL UPDATE HWO TO INCLUDE MENTION OF
STRONG STORM POSSIBILITY THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE ALSO UPDATED NDFD
AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS. INCREASED AFTERNOON MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE AREA AHEAD OF SAGGING COLD FRONT WHERE
SUNSHINE WILL HELP PUSH TEMPERATURES TO AROUND 90.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 640 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THAT IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY
LOOKS LIKE ITS STARTING TO FALL APART...SO HAVE ONLY BUMPED POPS
UP TO ABOUT 40 PERCENT IN CASE SOME SHOWERS MAKE IT INTO THE
FORECAST AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ALSO UPDATED GRIDS TO
REMOVE FOG. OTHERWISE...FRESHENED UP GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR RECENT
TRENDS. SENT UPDATED GRIDS TO NDFD AND WEB SERVERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 335 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

THE FRONT LIFTED NORTH OF THE AREA OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS
LIMITING THE CHANCES FOR ANY RAINFALL TO JUST THE NORTHERN COUNTIES
THROUGH AT LEAST MID MORNING. THEN DURING THE DAY WE SHOULD SEE A
GRADUAL INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER AS THE FRONT STARTS SAGGING SOUTH
AGAIN. THIS FRONTAL MOVEMENT IS IN RESPONSE TO A WAVE PASSING TO OUR
NORTH. THINKING THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT WON/T IMPACT OUR FORECAST AREA UNTIL THE
EVENING TIME PERIOD BUT HAVE REINTRODUCED CHANCE POPS STARTING IN
THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND THEN GRADUALLY SPREAD THEM SOUTHWARD. DURING
THE AFTERNOON...WINDS WILL BECOME WARM AND GUSTY...POSSIBLY GUSTING
UP TO 15-25 KTS IN SPOTS. SHOWERS MAY LINGER IN THE SOUTHERN HALF
OF OUR FORECAST AREA THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING DUE TO THE FRONT
STALLING OUT ONCE AGAIN. THE STALLED FRONT IS SET UP NEARLY
PARALLEL TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW ALLOWING FOR WEAK IMPULSES TO
RIDE ALONG IT AND INITIATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
END OF THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S TODAY WITH
THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES SEEN FURTHER SOUTH WHERE THERE IS LESS
CLOUD COVER. TONIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL DIP INTO THE UPPER 60S
BEFORE REBOUNDING TO THE LOW TO MID 80S ON FRIDAY.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 420 AM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

THE MODELS ARE STILL ONLY IN FAIR AGREEMENT ALOFT THROUGH THE
EXTENDED. THEY ALL DEPICT THE RETROGRADING AND STRENGTHENING UPPER
LOW MOVING FROM THE DEEP SOUTH TO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS OVER THE
WEEKEND. THIS TRANSITION WILL LEAVE EASTERN KENTUCKY ON THE
NORTHWEST FRINGES OF THE HIGHER HEIGHTS BY THE START OF THE NEW
WEEK...BUT ALSO NEAR THE TRACK FOR SHORTWAVES DROPPING SOUTHEAST
IN NORTHWEST FLOW. THIS IS ALSO THE TIME WHEN THE MODELS START TO
EXHIBIT A LARGER SPREAD TO THEIR SOLUTIONS. THE ECMWF IS STRONGER
WITH A LEAD SHORTWAVE ON MONDAY AS IT MOVES INTO THE NORTHEAST...
WHEN COMPARED TO THE CANADIAN AND GFS MODELS. IN FACT...THE ECMWF
IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE MODEL WITH RESPECT TO HEIGHT FALLS THROUGH
THE APPALACHIANS INTO MID WEEK. ITS LEAD WAVE IS FOLLOWED BY A
COUPLE OF SUBSTANTIAL ONES PUSHING INTO KENTUCKY AS IT ATTEMPTS TO
CARVE OUT A CLOSED LOW OVER THE REGION. MEANWHILE...THE GFS IS
GENERALLY FLATTER WITH PATTERN DOWNSTREAM OF THE SOUTHER PLAINS
RIDGE THROUGH WEDNESDAY. GIVEN THE AGREEMENT EARLY ON AND THEN
THE UNCERTAINTY LATER IN THE PERIOD A GENERAL MODEL BLEND SEEMS
REASONABLE WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE LATEST ECMWF SOLUTION AFTER 00Z
MONDAY.

SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE A SEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID MID
SUMMER PERIOD WITH OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS...GENERALLY
FAVORING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
WAVER OVER EASTERN KENTUCKY THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH PERIODIC
WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING ALONG IT TO GENERATE CONVECTION...
ENHANCED BY SEVERAL MID LEVEL ENERGY WAVES. EVEN SO...IT IS HARD
TO PINPOINT A DAY OR LOCATION THAT WOULD BE MOST UNDER THE GUN
FOR EXCESSIVE RAINS IN THIS PATTERN SO THE FORECAST AND HWO HAS
BEEN LEFT FAIRLY GENERIC. ANY EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WOULD BE MAINLY
LOCAL AND THE RESULT OF TRAINING DEVELOPING AS STORMS MOVE
REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME SPOTS...AND THE BEST BET FOR THAT WILL
BE MAINLY NORTH AND EAST OF THE CWA.

THE CR GRID BLEND CAME IN PRETTY GOOD WITH THE MAJORITY OF ANY
ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE POPS AND SKY GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
DIURNAL CYCLE ENHANCING THESE GRIDS THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED ALONG
WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF LATE. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...DID
TWEAK THE LOWS A BIT EACH NIGHT TO REPRESENT MINOR TERRAIN
EFFECTS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 149 PM EDT THU JUL 9 2015

A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SAG SOUTH ACROSS THE OH
VALLEY. SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE OCCURRING AHEAD OF
THIS BOUNDARY ACROSS EASTERN KY. THE SEVERE STORMS MOVING OUT OF
SOUTH CENTRAL KY SHOULD REMAIN JUST NORTH OF SME AND LOZ...WHILE
STORMS AFFECTING SJS WILL BE ENDING SHORTLY. GREATEST THREAT FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL DIMINISH AFTER
SUNSET...BUT FOG AND LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TONIGHT
RESULTING IN IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. CONDITIONS
WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE ON FRIDAY...BUT MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED
TO PREVAIL DURING THE MORNING EVEN AFTER VISIBILITY IMPROVES TO 7
OR GREATER MILES. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN DURING THE
AFTERNOON ON FRIDAY.
