THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LOUISVILLE HAS ISSUED A
* FLOOD WARNING FOR SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY
* UNTIL 630 AM EDT SATURDAY
* AT 637 PM EDT...LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS
REPORTED FLOODING FROM REPEATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA.
NUMEROUS ROADS ARE CLOSED...WASHED OUT...WITH WATER OVER THEM.
RADAR ESTIMATES INDICATE THAT BETWEEN 4 AND 8 INCHES OF RAIN HAS
FALLEN IN THE PAST 24 HOURS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE TO
HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO
FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 5:58 PM EDT, 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
558 PM EDT Fri Apr 3 2015
...Mesoscale Forecast Update...
Issued at 555 PM EDT Fri Apr 3 2015
Able to cancel portions of Tornado Watch #22 and have updated the
various products for that change. The highest risk area now looks to
run along our border with TN into the Lake Cumberland area and
northeast to around Lexington, based off a local study with shear
and instability parameters.
Issued at 420 PM EDT Fri Apr 3 2015
Tornado Watch #23 has been issued for east central KY. Although
multiple cells have developed over central KY inhibiting the better
instability. There still is a severe threat for damaging
winds/large hail and a conditional tornado threat near
boundaries/mergers/strengthening cold front.
At this point, though, the Flash Flood threat looks slightly higher
than severe/tornado threat.
Will begin clearing counties behind the front in southern IN in Tor
Watch #22.
.SHORT TERM (Now through Saturday Night)...
Issued at 330 PM EDT Fri Apr 3 2015
...Tornado Watch and Flash Flood Watch this Evening...
A Tornado Watch is currently in effect through 10pm edt for cellular
convection developing and moving through our area late this
afternoon. Although storms have been slow to strengthen this
afternoon, we are seeing an up tick in storm strength over the last
30 min. This trend combined with favorable jet dynamics, wind
profiles, and decent CAPE will continue to support a tornado threat
through the evening hours. Expansion east of the current Tornado
Watch is likely over the next hour or two. The best tornado threat
looks to be near the KY/TN border near the best instability.
However, an isld tornado can't be out of the question farther north
into central KY where slightly better shear values exist.
In addition to the tornado threat, a Flash Flood threat will exist
through this evening as well especially in areas where the heaviest
rain fell overnight (along I-64 corridor). Flood waters have been
slow to recede in some of these areas today and any additional
storms will quickly pose a flash flood threat.
The cold front will push through the region between 7pm - midnight
this evening ending the severe/tornado threat. However, a sharp
pressure gradient right along and behind the front will cause winds
to remain gusty out of the NW through around midnight tonight.
Expect wind gusts between 30 to 40 mph behind the front in and
outside of any lingering evening post-frontal showers.
Sat/Sat night sfc high pressure will dominate the region clearing
skies. High temps Sat will be in the mid 50s to around 60. Low
temps tonight and Sat night will be in the 30s to around 40 degrees.
.LONG TERM (Sunday through Friday)...
Issued at 159 PM EDT Fri Apr 3 2015
Sunday - Sunday Night...
A surface high pressure center will slide off the mid Atlantic coast
on Sunday, with a tightening pressure gradient between that feature
and a high Plains surface low. The resultant southerly flow and
mostly sunny skies should allow for temps warming into the upper
60s, nearly 10 degrees warmer than Saturday. By Sunday night, some
light warm advection showers may begin to work their way into the SW
half of the CWA. The steady southerly flow and increased cloud cover
should keep low milder in the 45-50 range.
Monday - Friday...
The pattern through the work week will bring zonal flow aloft over
top of an upper ridge established across the SE CONUS. Meanwhile,
southerly flow near the surface will allow for steady moist/unstable
advection on the south side of a boundary that looks to stall
somewhere just north of our CWA. Individual disturbances riding
through the upper flow combined with the boundary and an unstable
airmass will lead to unsettled weather the entire work week. Will
continue to mention chances for showers and storms at different
times through the week, dependent on individual disturbances and
boundary setup. Please note that there are solid chances just about
every period, however there will be lulls in between each round of
showers and storms, likely diurnally driven much of the time. Highs
on the warm side of the boundary should range at least in the mid
and upper 70s, with some 80s not out of the question next week. Lows
will be mild, likely in the 60s most nights.
&&
.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 135 PM EDT Fri Apr 3 2015
A final round of strong to severe storms is organizing to the west
of the TAF sites ahead of an approaching low pressure system. This
round of storms will impact the TAF sites from roughly 1830Z to 1Z.
Primary threats will be damaging winds and large hail with isolated
tornadoes possible across the region. Flight conditions will likely
drop to IFR in storms this afternoon. Will need to amend TAFs this
afternoon as storms develop and draw near.
The cold front associated with this system will pass this evening
between 23 to 1Z across the TAF sites veering winds sharply to the
NW. A period of very gusty winds just behind the front will occur
through around 4 or 5Z with gusts up to 30 to 35 kts outside of any
lingering showers.
Post-frontal ceilings should drop to MVFR through the early morning
hours before returning to VFR just before sunrise tomorrow.
