1037 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2015
...Forecast Update...
Issued at 1035 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2015
Band continues over southern Indiana, but also still have some light
to moderate rains over Kentucky. Pattern resembles a setup that
would generate a lot of snow in the winter, but fortunately we are
20-30 degrees warmer! Despite the lifting of the shortwave, into
Indiana now, we still have quite a bit of low-level lift to deal
with for a few more hours, so have raised pops some more into the
afternoon hours.
As for the Flood Watch, will let that expire at 15Z as planned.
Already have upgraded to areal flood warnings in most of the watch
locations, so no more need for a double product. Will update the
zones at 15Z to remove that headline.
Issued at 930 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2015
Heaviest band of precip has lifted north into southern Indiana, but
continue with moderate rains over our east and southeast counties.
Areal flood warnings are out with several reports of water over
roads coming in for those areas. We should not have such a problem
over the north, but will keep watch over the next hour or two until
the shortwave noted on water vapor imagery kicks out of here and the
forcing for these rains dies down.
Issued at 650 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2015
Just a quick update on latest trends. Widespread rain continues at
this time over most of central KY as the mid-level shortwave heads
northeast across western TN at this time. Pockets of moderate to
heavy rain are occurring throughout the region. This could cause
significant ponding of water on some roads and low-lying areas, and
some creeks could possibly overflow. However, have received no
reports of flooding at this time.
06z models and latest HRRR reflecting radar trends well. The sharp
northern edge of the rain along and south of the OH River has
relaxed some and spread a bit farther north as expected. A few
heavier rain elements are now showing up near Evansville and just
northeast of Louisville. The heaviest steadiest rains will remain
within the Flood Watch area, but showers will spread northeast
across much of south-central IN over the next hour or two.
Otherwise, forecast is on track with just some tweaks to hourly POPs
to match latest trends.
.SHORT TERM (Now through Wednesday)...
Issued at 315 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2015
...Flood Watch continues this morning for parts of central KY...
A solid area of rain has evolved in a WSW-ENE axis across central
KY early this morning, ahead of a pronounced shortwave in water
vapor imagery moving from AR/MS into western TN and an associated
surface low pressure system. Within this rain are numerous areas of
moderate rain. At this time, there is a distinct northern boundary
to the rain along and just south of the OH River associated with a
deformation zone. The latest few HRRR runs have shown that rain just
ahead of the shortwave may move a little farther north and be slower
to depart than previous forecasts, which the 00z NAM also hinted at.
These models are slower and farther north than the 00z GFS, which
seems reasonable. Thus, despite the current tight northern precip
edge, more showers should move back across the Louisville metro and
into at least parts of south-central IN later this morning,
continuing during much of the morning. However, the heaviest rain
should continue to fall out in an axis to the east of the shortwave.
The current Flood Watch looks good, although decent rains will fall
a county or so north of the Watch as well, but will keep the area
unchanged at this time. The overall trend should be for more bands
of showers to form east of the shortwave then rotate north and east.
This should keep highest rainfall totals in an axis from about BWG
to LEX and a row of counties or so south. Still looks like 1 to 2
inches of rain is a good bet in this axis, with locally 2+ inches
possible in a few spots. However, since rainfall is not truly
convective and since rain rates should not increase much more than
at present, widespread flash flooding is not likely. Instead,
significant ponding and some areal flooding of roads, low-lying
areas, creeks, and small streams may occur. Slightly lower rain
totals are expected over our extreme southeast south-central KY
counties. While showers will continue past the 15 UTC expiration
time of the Watch, will not change it at this time. This can be
locally extended if need be later this morning pending latest trends
and reports.
Rainfall will diminish this afternoon for most areas, but scattered
showers should continue over our east and southeast counties
overcast skies persist. Over south-central IN, some breaks in the
clouds could occur later this afternoon.
High temperatures today are tricky. Values at this time may not go
up much if any today. Matter of fact, could see readings fall a bit
as a brisk northeast wind develops along with the low clouds and
showers in parts of central KY. Will keep readings in the upper 50s
over much of east-central KY west-southwestward, with lower-mid 60s
for south-central KY, again with highest values this morning. Also,
expect lower-mid 60s in south-central IN where low clouds will scour
out and showers will end this afternoon. Lows tonight should range
from the mid 40s to lower 50s with a cloudy sky south and east, and
partly to mostly cloudy north and west.
On Wednesday, mid-level flow will begin to back again, resulting in
clouds moving back northward. There could be some scattered showers
especially across south-central KY, although there are no clear
forcing mechanics at this time. Expect highs in the mid 60s to lower
70s.
.LONG TERM (Wednesday Night through Monday)...
Issued at 325 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2015
...Above Normal Rainfall Expected This Week...
In general terms, there is not a whole lot of change in the guidance
for the extended forecast period. The synoptic flow aloft will be
characterized by a fast northern jet flow confined to the
US/Canadian border region, while a split flow pattern will be in
place across the western US with a cut off low in the southern
stream. Multiple wave packets will eject out of the southern stream
and pass through the region in the mid-late part of the week,
bringing precipitation with the potential for heavy rainfall. By
late in the period, the cut off low over the SW US is expected to
lift out and merge with a northern stream wave which looks to turn
into a rather large gyre over the northern Great Lakes by early next
week. This would bring drier and cooler than normal conditions to
the region.
It does appear that we'll see the first wave push through the region
on Thursday with a secondary wave coming in Friday night and early
Saturday. Combination of lift with the associated waves and plenty
of Gulf moisture will lead to widespread rainfall, some heavy, which
could result in renewed hydrologic concerns through the period.
This would be especially true across our southern half of the
forecast area...mainly south of the Parkways. The weekend does not
look to be an entire wash out, but Saturday morning will probably
remain a bit unsettled as the aforementioned wave ejects through the
region. There is a growing consensus in the data that upper level
ridging will build in during the afternoon to allow the region to
dry out a bit. Thus, will continue to run chance PoPs in the
forecast for the early part of Saturday and then allow PoPs to
decrease throughout the remainder of the day and into Sunday.
As the upper low out over the southwest US lifts out and combines
with the northern stream wave pushing through, we should see a
return of wet weather as we head into late Sunday and Monday. More
showers with some thunderstorms looks likely.
As for temperatures, have generally stuck close to the SuperBlend
consensus guidance for temperatures. This will result in daytime
highs generally in the upper 60s to the lower 70s for highs and
overnight lows in the 50s. These temperature forecasts will likely
see some sort of modulation in subsequent forecasts as the timing
issues in the upper level waves moving through the area become more
clearly defined in the coming days.

some IFR ceilings from time to time and reduced visibility in
moderate to heavy rain. LEX ceiling continues to change between IFR
and MVFR, but MVFR should be the prevailing category for much of the
rest of the morning. Expect SDF ceiling to mostly stay VFR, but
can't rule out MVFR at times this morning.
These conditions will continue for the morning hours with improving
conditions this afternoon at SDF and LEX. However, it is unclear
whether clouds will lift enough for VFR conditions at BWG this
afternoon and tonight. Will keep MVFR as low clouds below 3 kft
should remain. Also, could see at least MVFR visibilities due to fog
early Wednesday morning at BWG.
Expect surface winds from the north-northeast at 10-15 kts with
gusts around or above 20 kts at times this morning into early
afternoon in response to low pressure moving east-northeast across
the TN Valley.
