Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson KY
804 PM EDT THU JUN 16 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 644 PM EDT THU JUN 16 2016

A cold front is nearing eastern Kentucky with vigorous upper level
trough diving southeast into the Mid Atlantic this late afternoon
hour. This is evident on vis sat where we have a line of CU nearer
the boundary. This also where storms have been firing, however
they are mostly firing on each end of the CWA. Overall best
coverage and intensity has been storms moving ESE toward the Lake
Cumberland region this hour. Therefore have tried to play pops and
sky to better depict overall trends. Model wise the CAMS are a bit
all over the place with regards to the convection, but the SSEO
page seem to steer in the right direction. The models so far have
been most overdone in the east and southeast, but there is still
time for more convection to fire in these locations. The best
model depiction this hour would be the HRRR even with it's high
bias to the east. Right now will continue to monitor trends for
further updates as needed.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 359 PM EDT THU JUN 16 2016

An upper level trough and associated surface low pressure system located
over Central Ohio continue their southeasterly track this
afternoon, bringing with them scattered showers and thunderstorms
as a cold front advances through the region. Substantial diabatic
heating in the presence of ample surface moisture have brought
about substantial destabilization with some regions in the area in
excess of 2500 J/kg of SBCAPE. The current instability combined
with 40 kts bulk shear is more than suitable for organized
convection, however the question still remains as to whether or
not forcing will be present to get storms going this afternoon.
Currently, short range models are forecasting most of the upper
level support to remain to the east, however as the cold front
advances south, convergence may be just enough to initiate
convection. Confidence in the convective forecast for this
afternoon to evening has been further muddled by a lack of run to
run consistency among the CAMs. That being said, the HRRR has
seemed to be a bit too quick to turn winds to the west ahead of
the cold front as noted by obs. If winds are able to stay out of
the southwest a bit longer, the potential for thunderstorms this
afternoon will likely increase as a result of enhanced low level
convergence. Overall, with the parameters in place, whatever
storms do form will have the potential to become severe with the
primary threat being strong winds and heavy rainfall.

As the cold front makes its way through the state through the
overnight hours, a calmer regime should begin to take hold as
ridging builds back into the region. While some showers and storms are
possible Friday afternoon, the cooler and drier air will inhibit
any notable thunderstorm activity. Otherwise calm and clear
weather with mild temperatures will set the stage for a pleasant
weekend.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 308 AM EDT THU JUN 16 2016

The weather during most of the extended period will be dominated
by a large ridge of high pressure that is expected to settle
across the CONUS east of the Mississippi River. According to the
current model data, this ridge will become entrenched across the
region through early next Tuesday. After the ridge finally weakens
and pushes off to our south and southeast, a weak cold front is
forecast to make its way across the Ohio and Tennessee valley
regions Tuesday through Wednesday. Instability will be limited
during this time, at least according to the latest model
soundings, so the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday will feature
only a slight chance of thunder across the area. The precipitation
should exit the area by early Wednesday evening as the front
pushes across the area. The rest of the forecast after that
should be dry.

Temperatures during the period should run at or slightly above
normal, with day time highs in the 80s expected each day. Nightly
lows will vary between the 50s and 60s depending upon the amount
of night time cloud cover and wind.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
ISSUED AT 704 PM EDT THU JUN 16 2016

Showers and storms have fired up across portions of the region
this evening. The stronger storms have been mostly confined to
the far east and Lake Cumberland region. Overall trends would
suggest most the terminals across the region would see little in
the way of issues in regards to storms. A cold front will drop
south across the region filtering in dryer and cooler air through
the TAF period with winds shifting to the NW. Also a upper level
low will drop SE into the Mid Atlantic and we will get the chance
for some low stratus overnight into early Friday. Played the best
chances of seeing IFR CIGS in the far east at SJS/JKL and the
other sites will have the chances for MVFR cigs. Do expect the
base of the trough to exit the region and CIGS will return to VFR
through the day as dryer air filters in.
