Area forecast discussion, Feb 16, 12:30 PM EST, 1 hour 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 1230 PM EST TUE FEB 16 2016 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 1141 AM EST TUE FEB 16 2016 SEVERAL CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO POPS...WX...QPF AND SNOW AMOUNTS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT BASED ON INCOMING 12Z MODEL DATA AND A FARTHER SOUTH TRACK TO THE INCOMING SYSTEM. GREATEST IMPACTS FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE ACROSS THE UPPER CUMBERLAND REGION BUT EVEN HERE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS WILL LIKELY MEAN PRECIP STARTS AS RAIN AND MIXES WITH SNOW AT TIMES WITH LESS THAN AN INCH OF SLUSHY ACCUMULATION ANTICIPATED. NOTICED KPAH REPORTING 34F/LIGHT RAIN WITH A SIMILAR THERMAL PROFILE TO WHAT WE EXPECT ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES AS THE PRECIP MAKES IT IN LATER TODAY. THE ONE EXCEPTION WOULD BE OVER OUR HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE COLDER TEMPS WOULD MEAN THE EXPECTED QPF WOULD SUPPORT 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW ABOVE 2000 FEET OR SO. WILL LIKELY ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BELL...HARLAN AND POSSIBLY LETCHER TO HIGHLIGHT POTENTIAL IMPACT ON HIGHER ELEVATION ROADS THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...LOWERED TEMPS A DEGREE OR TWO THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO THICK CLOUD COVER IN PLACE. UPDATE ISSUED AT 707 AM EST TUE FEB 16 2016 WSR-88D SHOWING RETURNS TRENDING DOWN AS LOW PRESSURE HAS TRACKED NORTHEAST INTO WEST VA THIS MORNING. WHILE THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING IMPACTS THE ACCUMULATING SNOW HAS COME TO A END AND THEREFORE THE ADV WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 7AM. ALSO GIVEN PRECIP HAS EXITED WILL ALSO CANCEL THE FFA...THINKING AT THIS POINT SHORT FUSE PRODUCTS WILL HANDLE ANY REMAINING RUNOFF ISSUES. OTHERWISE UPDATED GRID WITH LATEST OBS AND TREND. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 351 AM EST TUE FEB 16 2016 VERY COMPLICATED FORECAST OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS AND THOSE COMPLICATIONS CONTINUE THIS MORNING. MANY LOCATIONS HAVE SWITCHED OVER TO SNOW THIS HOUR AND THIS SHOULD BE THE TREND MOST SPOTS THROUGH THE MORNING. BASICALLY WHERE THE HEAVIER RETURNS ARE RESIDING WE HAVE SEEN WET BULBING OCCUR AND CHANGE FROM MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN TO MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AT TIMES. THESE BANDS ARE IN AN AREA WHERE THE 700MB FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING IS MOST PRONOUNCED. THE BACK EDGE OF THE BETTER FORCING AND RETURNS IS SHARP. THIS SHOULD CUTOFF THE BIGGER FLAKES AS YOU MOVE WEST NEARER THE CWA BORDER...AND SOME OF THIS MAY EVEN MIX ON THE BACK SIDE WHERE RETURNS SLACK OFF. TO COMPLICATE THE SITUATION MORE THERE IS A BIT OF A DRY SLOT WORKING INTO PORTIONS OF THE FAR SE...WHERE MIDDLESBORO AND HAZARD ARE BOTH REPORTING RAIN THIS HOUR. THIS IS ALSO AIDING TO INTENSIFY A BAND OF SNOW ACROSS MORGAN...WOLFE...MAGOFFIN..JOHNSON...BREATHITT...OWSLEY...AND LEE COUNTIES THIS HOUR. THE BOTTOM LINE IS SNOWFALL ACROSS THE CWA WILL BE QUITE VARIABLE THIS MORNING BUT GENERALLY 1-3 INCHES SEEMS REASONABLE. HOWEVER CAN NOT RULE OUT LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 4 INCHES WHERE BANDING SETS UP. THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS SET TO EJECT NE AS THE ATTENDANT 500MB TROUGH NEGATIVELY TILTS ONCE IT MOVES INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. NOW THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS HAS BEEN THE SOME HYDRO ISSUES AND THINK THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM PARTICULARLY AS RIVERS RESPOND THROUGH THE DAY...HOWEVER AS PRECIP COMES TO A END SOME OF THE CREEKS AND STREAMS SHOULD RESPOND BY SEEING SLOWER RISES OR EVEN BECOMING STEADY STATE. STILL LOOKING AT ANOTHER WAVE AND SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SET PROGRESS SE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT ON TAIL OF THE THE CURRENT SYSTEM. OVERALL THE MODELS HAVE ALL TRENDED BETTER QPF TO THE SOUTH AND GOOD CLUSTERING IS TAKING PLACE WITH THIS SYSTEM WITH REGARDS TO THE LOW TRACK. THEREFORE TRENDED THE BETTER POPS AS SUCH...WE SHOULD WARM ENOUGH TODAY THAT THIS WILL BE MOSTLY RAIN AND NOT TO MENTION FORECAST SOUNDINGS WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE LOOSE ICE. RIGHT NOW BLENDED QPF KEEPS THIS LIGHT AT GENERALLY A QUARTER OF A INCH OR LESS. WHILE WE COULD SEE AREAS IN THE FAR NORTH MIXING THIS WILL BE MINIMAL IMPACT...PERHAPS THE VERY HIGH TERRAIN NEARER THE VA BORDER COULD SEE LIGHT ADDITIONAL ACCUM TODAY INTO TONIGHT. THIS WILL CHANGE TO ALL SNOW LATER TONIGHT AREA WIDE...AGAIN THIS WILL BE AS THE SYSTEM EXITS AND NOT LOOKING FOR MUCH MORE THAN A TRACE AT THIS POINT OF SNOW IF THAT. OVERALL AFTER THIS EXITS WE DO SEE A BIT OF NW FLOW TYPE PRECIP AND MAINLY KEPT THIS IN THE FAR EAST FOR WEDNESDAY. .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 515 AM EST TUE FEB 16 2016 THE PERIOD IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN WITH A TROUGH DEPARTING TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST AND A RIDGE FROM MEXICO NORTH THROUGH THE PLAINS. MEANWHILE A TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BE NEARING THE WEST COAST AT THAT TIME. NORTHWEST FLOW BETWEEN THE DEPARTING TROUGH AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND THE RIDGE AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW FLURRIES OR SPRINKLES OR AN ISOLATED RAIN OR SNOW SHOWER ON WED EVENING...INTO WED NIGHT. OTHERWISE...THE RIDGING SHOULD BUILD ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY...WITH THE AXIS OF THE RIDGE SHIFTING EAST LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO A PERIOD OF MODERATING TEMPERATURES TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS BY FRIDAY. THE FLOW WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL ACROSS THE CONUS AT THAT POINT...AND THE TROUGH THAT WILL INITIALLY BE NEARING THE WEST COAST OF THE CONUS WILL HAVE MOVED ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND PLAINS AND NEAR THE GREAT LAKES AND MS VALLEY ON FRIDAY. THE ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD TRACK INTO CANADA ON FRIDAY AND SEND A WARM FRONT ACROSS THE AREA...FOLLOWED BY THE TRAILING COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY NIGHT. THE AIRMASS BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT WILL VERY LITTLE FROM THE ONE IN FRONT OF IT. ALONG AND IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR FRIDAY...WITH THE SYSTEM HAVING ONLY LIMITED MOISTURE DUE TO LITTLE IF ANY INFLOW OF GULF MOISTURE. SOME OF THESE SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO SATURDAY...BUT THE WEEKEND SHOULD BEGIN MAINLY DRY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THE PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO AMPLIFY AGAIN TO END THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES EXPECTED TO WORK ACROSS THE REGION. INITIALLY THE REGION COULD BE SPLIT WITH THESE PASSING NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE AREA...BUT SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE TO END THE PERIOD. THE RECENT GFS RUNS ALSO HAVE MORE PHASING OF THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAMS EARLY NEXT WEEK AND OFFERS A WETTER SOLUTION WITH PRECIPITATION CHANGES LINGERING THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD AND BEYOND. THE RECENT ECMWF RUNS WOULD BRING MAINLY JUST CLOUD COVER LATE IN THE PERIOD AND LESSER RAIN CHANCES. THE MILD AIRMASS SHOULD LINGER THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. IN FACT...AFTER OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 20S AREAWIDE ON WED NIGHT...ONLY VALLEY LOCATIONS SHOULD FALL BELOW FREEZING ON THU NIGHT WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW. TEMPERATURES SHOULD THEN REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING IN ALL LOCATIONS THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD AS 850 MB TEMPS REMAIN IN THE 3C TO 8C RANGE ON AVERAGE. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 1230 PM EST TUE FEB 16 2016 CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW LOWEST INSTRUMENT APPROACH MINIMUMS AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD AS LOW CLOUDS AND FOG REMAIN FIRMLY IN PLACE. A WEAK SYSTEM WILL SKIRT BY TO OUR SOUTH THIS EVENING WITH A PERIOD OF LIGHT RAIN LIKELY AFFECTING LOCATIONS FROM JKL AND SJS SOUTH. THE RAIN WILL LIKELY MIX WITH SNOW AT TIMES AND THERE COULD BE A LIGHT DUSTING FOR LOCATIONS MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE HAL ROGERS PARKWAY... INCLUDING SME AND LOZ. PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO END BY 06Z...BUT FOG AND LOW CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE TAF SITES EVEN WELL PAST SUNRISE WEDNESDAY. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && UPDATE...ABE SHORT TERM...DJ LONG TERM...JP AVIATION...ABE
