AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
232 AM EDT Tue Jul 14 2015
...Forecast Update...
Issued at 225 AM EDT Tue Jul 14 2015
Expanded Svr Watch #419 further south in the Bluegrass region where
storms are starting to sag south with multiple boundaries just to
the west set to intersect this portion of the storm complex. These
storms may ramp up as the boundaries interact with them posing
mainly a damaging wind threat. At the very least, flash flooding
will be a concern.
Issued at 200 AM EDT Tue Jul 14 2015
Getting some enhancement of the line of convection running from
southeast IN into northern KY. Believe this is a result of the low
level jet ramping up pushing an old boundary (left over from
convection earlier today) eastward through the line causing storms
to strengthen. Have had some good wind signatures with rotation
aloft. Also, torrential rainfall is occurring with repeated storms
along the Jefferson County, IN to Franklin County, KY to Nicholas
County, KY with some flash flood reports already near Madison,
Hanover and Campbellsburg. Outflow from this complex of storms is
pushing west in some areas colliding with other
boundaries/convection and will likely result in westward development
of the storm complex as we go through the early morning hours.
A second batch of storms has developed over central IL along a sfc
front and upper level shortwave. The LLJ is likely helping to
enhance this line as well along with shortwave forcing and
convergence along the sfc front. This complex of storms is progged
by the high res models to move SE into southern IN by 8 to 9Z and
continue SE through central KY during the pre-dawn hours. It will
again pose a damaging wind and flash flooding risk to our region.
Stay alert of watch and warning products overnight!
Issued at 1040 PM EDT Mon Jul 13 2015
Completed another update to include Severe Thunderstorm Watch #419
which is valid until 500 AM EDT Tuesday morning. Watching several
clusters of convection upstream from us this evening. First one is
over central/southern IL with a second one near the Indianapolis
area. The current forecast thinking is that one or more lines of
convection will develop later tonight and drop southeastward into
the Ohio Valley. High resolution modeling has been struggling
trying to resolve complex mesoscale issues, with some painting quite
a bit of convection, while others generate far less. For now, we
are still thinking that convection will eventually fill in across
west-central IN and eastern IL later tonight with this activity
dropping southeast into KY late tonight. For this reason, the
severe thunderstorm watch has been issued. Main severe weather
threats overnight will be damaging winds, though large hail and an
isolated tornado are not out of the question. Very heavy, tropical
like rainfall is expected overnight which will lead to a high flash
flood threat given the saturated grounds across the state. Thus,
the Flash Flood Watch will remain intact.
.SHORT TERM (Now through Tuesday Night)...
...Severe Weather and Flash Flood Potential continue...
Difficult forecast in the short term with opportunities for severe
storms and flooding. Severe Thunderstorm Watch #410 remains in
effect until 8 pm EDT for the entire area, but will begin trimming
northern counties behind the ongoing squall line soon and will be
taking a hard look at far west counties as well, as western
development has been slow to materialize.
Short term models are all over the place with next round of storms,
so confidence is not high on the overnight scenario. 12Z run of the
HRRR that handled the current bow echo best also seems to have the
best handle on the overnight precip. This focuses on an existing
boundary running from west central IN to near Louisville where the
most recent development has occurred. If this plays out as planned,a
short wave accompanying a speed max showing up on satellite between
Peoria and the Quad Cities will provide the upper support for storm
development along the aforementioned surface boundary.
The bad news with this scenario is that the axis of precip would
then line up NW-SE. With SE steering winds, this results in
training storms and high potential for excessive rains of several
inches along the axis. Given the divergent model tendencies with
this, however, confidence is low on removing any of the area from
the Flash Flood Watch, so will continue with the entire CWA through
the existing time frame. Antecedent soil conditions make areas east
of I-65 the highest threat, but with mid-upper 70 dewpoints, any
storm is capable of blinding rain and copious rains that could cause
true flash flooding.
Tuesday's weather is so reliant upon where overnight precip occurs
that confidence on details here are again low, other than to say
that storms are again expected, but the strongest should be confined
south and east of this afternoon's main area.
.LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)...
Issued at 300 AM EDT Tue Jul 14 2015
The overall synoptic pattern during the extended will remain similar
with mean mid-level troughing over the East and West Coasts, with a
dominant ridge over the southern and central Plains. West to
northwest flow will continue over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley,
but it should be a less active, but not necessarily inactive across
central KY and south-central IN.
The general idea through the period should be for more weak
shortwaves to ride eastward around the pheriphery of the ridge
across the southern Great Lakes and parts of the Ohio Valley.
However, with more of a westerly flow devloping aloft from mid week
into this coming weekend, and the ridge building slightly northward,
it appears that the preferred track for convection may stay
primarily north of our area by the end of this week and next
weekend. With that said, there still could easily be scattered
diurnal convection this weekend. Also, can't totally discount that
more MCS activity could form in west to northwest flow, but again
this may end up north of us, but of course this is several days
out.
In the meantime, it will be dry Wednesday night into Friday with
less humid conditions with seasonal afternoon high temperatures
Thursday. However, heat may come back with a vengence over the
weekend on the northeast extension of the upper ridge. Highs
Saturday and Sunday could well end up in the mid 90s with surface
dewpoints rising back up into the upper 60s and lower 70s to create
afternoon heat indices at or above 100.
&&
.AVIATION (06Z TAF Update)...
Updated 130 AM EDT Tue Jul 14 2015
The main TAF challenge remains timing rounds of convection into the
TAF sites. Flight conditions will be reduced to IFR or lower in
these rounds of convection as t-storms are expected to be strong in
nature. The first round should affect LEX between 7 and 10Z and SDF
between 8 to 11Z. These storms will contain very heavy rainfall,
lots of lightning, and gusty winds. Some storms may reach severe
levels and will need to make amendments if necessary. BWG should
largely stay west of the first round, but will need to watch
westward development of the overnight round of convection. VCTS
should remain possible through 13-16Z before we see a break in
convection during the mid morning and much of the afternoon hours.
Then another round of convection is expected during the late
afternoon and evening hours today. Will go ahead and add VCTS to
all TAF sites although the TAF site at most risk tomorrow looks to
be LEX. Winds will shift from SSW overnight to SWW for the daylight
hours today to WNW this evening.
