Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson KY
649 PM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 650 PM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

Currently, the line of showers and strong to severe thunderstorms
are continuing to track south slowly. Some lingering instability
over the far southern counties seems to be enough favorable
environment to sustain severe convection over the south. Will be
issuing a new ZFP to highlight this.

UPDATE Issued at 1142 AM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

Current surface analysis across the area features temperatures
warming into the lower 80s and a vague but present outflow
boundary across central eastern Kentucky. As well, a cold front is
present to the northwest and will slowly be making a south and
southeast approach. Clearing skies and increased heating through
the early afternoon hours will allow for rapid destabilization
this afternoon as cells develop ahead of the slowly dropping
southeast cold front. The remnant outflow boundary across the area
will further enhance convection as storms become organized and
produce possible damaging winds and heavy rainfall. As the front
slides south and becomes west to east across the area this
evening, training of storms becomes possible and where repeated
bouts of rain has fallen before, a decent flash flood threat is
valid. Have issued a Flash Flood Watch until 8pm. This may need to
be extended depending on how long the activity lasts into this
evening..

UPDATE Issued at 708 AM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

Convection that was over ILN and RLX has shifted southeast, with a
area of showers and thunderstorms currently impacting the northern
portion of the CWA. Luckily storms have weakened significantly, so
there is no severe threat at this time. However it could be
putting down some decent rains, which will be something to keep in
mind for any storms that develop or move over the same location
later in the day. Otherwise, forecast seems to be in good shape
this morning. Loaded in the latest observations to make sure the
temp, dew point, and wind forecasts were in line with ongoing
conditions. Grids have been published and sent to NDFD/web, though
no changes are needed to the forecast package at this time.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday)
Issued at 403 AM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

An active start to the period is expected today, thanks to a center
of low pressure currently traveling eastward across Indiana and
Ohio. This will continue on a southeast track through the day,
pulling a cold front southward into the state between 18 and 21Z.
The cold front will then remain in place across the northern half of
the state through at least 6z tonight (Friday) before finally slowly
shifting southward through the southern portion of the CWA through
the day Friday.

Along and just south of the current cold front, a stout area of
convection has set up, currently encompassing much of IN, OH, and
northern WV. This convection is taking a southeastward track,
following the best theta-e advection gradients. Based on the current
radar trends, the current convection may pass just north of the CWA
through the next few hours. However, as the low continues eastward
and the cold front begins to sag farther south as we begin gaining
daytime sunlight and heating, expect pops to begin shifting into our
area. As such, included slight chances over the next couple of
hours, with scattered pops by 12Z, slowly spreading southward
through about noon. Latest hi-res models all seem to agree that
convection will be more scattered in nature as it moves across
eastern KY. However, with decent CAPE throughout the morning/early
afternoon, and stout winds in the low, mid, and upper levels, any of
these storms could still produce some severe potential, mainly in
the form of strong to damaging winds.

Between 18 and 21Z, the cold front will begin its descent into KY.
This will correspond with best peak heating and afternoon
instability. CAPE values will top out between 3.5k and 4.5k j/kg
between 18 and 0z, with LIs still dropping to -10 to -12. DCAPE will
even max out around 1.5k j/kg by 0Z this evening.  This will
therefore be our best chance for seeing more widespread severe
potential, with damaging winds still the main concern. Pops will
increase to numerous along the frontal boundary in our northern CWA
between 18 and 21Z, then slowly spread southeastward throughout the
remainder of the afternoon and evening. Despite the lingering
frontal boundary, the center of low pressure will continue shifting
eastward, robbing best instability from the area for the latter half
of the overnight.  Still a bit concerned, however, about PWAT values
and heavy rainfall through the overnight.

Any storms during the day could put down torrential rainfall, which
may lead to further flooding concerns. In a fortunate note, however,
it looks like during most of the day today, most widespread rains
will mainly affect the northern CWA, which hasn't been quite as
worked over from previous day's storms. However, any training of
storms could quickly cause problems. Unfortunately, PWATS will
actually increase to over 2 inches (nearly 2.5 inches at SME!)
between 0 and 6z this evening according to the latest NAM12
soundings. This is slightly higher than the GFS soundings, but even
this model is still reading nearly 2 inches. Will need to continue
to monitor storms into the overnight for potential flooding
concerns.

For Friday, the cold front will continue to weaken, having little
affect on the state by this point. In fact, strong NW flow will take
hold across much of the CWA north of the boundary, bringing much
drier air into the region, and cutting off any remaining precip
concerns for the day. Temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than
today with the NW flow in place, but will still achieve the mid and
upper 80s by the afternoon, though with slightly less humidity.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 330 PM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

Upper level ridge continues to build into the region through the
first part of the forecast period. The next weather maker will be
a weak frontal boundary that progresses SE into the region, and
this will begin increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms
late weekend into the first part of next week. The storms will
wain some as we move into Tuesday, but additional storms are
possible by Thursday as another upper level wave approaches. Model
wise the the spaghetti plot shows that the guidance remains in
good agreement. The upper level high will be well established
across the lower MS River Valley. Guidance remains in good
agreement with the ridging breaking down by mid week. The
breakdown will lead to cooler temperatures by the time we get to
mid and late week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
ISSUED AT 650 PM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

A couple lines of showers and thunderstorms continue to slowly
slide south. As they pass over the TAF sites, expect IFR and below
conditions. Both lines should begin to dissipate by 00z with some
clearing from north to south as the cold front slowly slides
south. Where places to clear out, expect dense fog development
towards dawn. Fog and low cigs will lift by 16z and with the
exception of a few showers and storms developing again along the
TN and VA borders during the afternoon, eastern Kentucky will
remain relatively dry.
