AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
144 PM EST TUE JAN 12 2016

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1104 AM EST TUE JAN 12 2016

SNOW EVENT GOT A LATE START...BUT IS UNDERWAY OVER THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. OBS...RADAR TRENDS...AND NEW 12Z MODEL
DATA SUPPORT LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF AN INCH AND LOCALIZED TWO
INCHES IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES TODAY. SNOW WILL BE INTERMITTENT
IN NATURE...AND COULD BRIEFLY COME DOWN INTENSELY. SOME LIGHTNING
HAS EVEN BEEN OBSERVED IN SNOW SHOWERS OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA THIS
MORNING. FURTHER SOUTH...THE END RESULT IS MORE QUESTIONABLE. WITH
AN ADVISORY ALREADY IN PLACE...WILL LEAVE IT...BUT JUST
MENTION LOCALIZED ACCUMULATIONS UP TO AN INCH FROM LOCALIZED
HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 645 AM EST TUE JAN 12 2016

LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES ARE CROSSING MAINLY NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
AREA WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATIONS REPORTED. A MORE
INTENSE BATCH OF SNOW WILL MOVE IN LATER IN THE MORNING. HAVE
TIMED THIS BAND THROUGH IN THE GRIDS. ALSO UPDATED THE HOURLY T
AND TD GRIDS PER THE LATEST CONDITIONS AND TRENDS...PARTICULARLY
MILDER ON TEMPS DUE TO THE STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. THESE GRIDS HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE NDFD AND WEB SERVERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 AM EST TUE JAN 12 2016

07Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING
THROUGH THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. THIS IS DRIVING AN ARCTIC COLD
FRONT INTO THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY THIS
MORNING. CLOSER TO HOME...A DECENT PRESSURE GRADIENT EXISTS OVER
KENTUCKY BETWEEN THE LOW TO THE NORTH AND HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE
GULF COAST. THIS IS ALREADY MANIFESTING IN SOME BREEZY SOUTHWEST
WINDS THROUGH THE BLUEGRASS HELPING TO KEEP NIGHTTIME TEMPERATURES
RELATIVELY MILD FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. WHILE MOST PLACES ARE SEEING
LOW AND MID 30S FOR THE JKL CWA...A FEW SHELTERED EASTERN VALLEYS
REMAIN IN THE MID 20S. WINDS ARE GUSTING OVER THE WESTERN PARTS OF
THE AREA REACHING THE 25 TO 30 MPH RANGE AT TIMES. ALTHOUGH A DRY
AIR MASS IS IN PLACE THE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL TRY TO BRING IN MORE
MOISTURE THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE MORNING AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC
FRONT. MEANWHILE...DEW POINTS THROUGHOUT THE AREA ARE RUNNING IN
THE UPPER SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS NORTHEAST TO THE MIDDLE AND
UPPER TEENS SOUTH. A DECK OF MID LEVEL CLOUDS COVER THE BULK OF
EASTERN KENTUCKY WITH EVEN A FEW VERY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND
FLURRIES PASSING THROUGH.

THE MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER AIR PATTERN
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THEY ALL DEPICT
THE CORE OF A FAIRLY DEEP TROUGH...THAT IS MOVING INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY...TO PUNCH THROUGH KENTUCKY BY EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS IS
DRIVEN BY A 135 TO 140 KT 300 MB JET ARCING INTO THE REGION THIS
MORNING WITH A GOOD AMOUNT A UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE PROGGED TO
PASS OVER EAST KENTUCKY BETWEEN 09 AND 21Z. IT WILL BE A QUICK
HITTING MID LEVEL WAVE...THOUGH...AS BY 00Z IT WILL BE OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST ALLOWING HEIGHTS TO RELAX LOCALLY AND RISE INTO THE
DAY WEDNESDAY. A COUPLE OF WEAKER WAVES DO FOLLOW IN NORTHWEST
FLOW AND LOOK TO PASS ABOVE EAST KENTUCKY FOR WEDNESDAY. GIVEN
THE GOOD MODEL MATCH-UP WILL FOLLOW SUIT BUT FAVOR THE SPECIFICS
FROM THE HIGHER RESOLUTION HRRR AND NAM12 FOR WEATHER DETAILS...
ALONG WITH A HEALTHY DOSE OF CLIMATOLOGY FOR THESE SITUATIONS IN
EASTERN KENTUCKY.

SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE A DYNAMIC AND ACTIVE WEATHER DAY AS
AN ARCTIC BOUNDARY PASSES THROUGH THE CWA BY LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON. WHILE LIGHT SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THIS
BOUNDARY...THE MAIN SHOW WILL BE JUST ALONG AND BEHIND IT AS IT
HELPS TO MAXIMIZE THE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND FIND JUST ENOUGH
CAPE TO BECOME CONVECTIVE IN NATURE. GIVEN THE BACKGROUND PRESSURE
AND HEIGHT GRADIENTS IN THE THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE THE
HIGHER WINDS ALOFT SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE TAPPED BY THE CONVECTIVE
CELLS LEADING TO GUSTY WINDS AT THE SFC. THIS COMBINED WITH THE
SNOW SHOWERS WILL MEAN RAPIDLY CHANGING VISIBILITY IN GUSTY SNOW
SQUALLS. FINALLY...GIVEN THE COLD STARTING POINT FOR ROAD SFCS...
EXPECT ANY SNOW THAT FALLS TO POTENTIALLY ACCUMULATE ON THE
ROADS...WITH LIMITED HELP FROM INSOLATION DURING THE DAYLIGHT
HOURS. SO...ALTHOUGH QPF WILL BE RATHER LIMITED WITH THIS FRONT...
THE IMPACT FROM THESE LIGHT EVENTS CAN BE AS LARGER OR LARGER THAN
BIGGER WINTER STORMS SO WILL CONTINUE TO HIT IT HARD WITH A WSW
ADVISORY ACROSS THE BULK OF OUR CWA TODAY...STARTING EARLIER IN
THE WEST AND LINGERING LONGER IN THE EAST. SNOW AMOUNTS SHOULD BE
MAXIMIZED...WITH A POTENTIAL FOR UP TO 2 INCHES...IN THE NORTHERN
PARTS OF THE CWA AND IN THE HIGHEST TERRAIN NEAR THE VIRGINIA
BORDER.

THE SNOW WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE EVENING...WITH
A DROP OFF IN THE SQUALLINESS AFTER SUNSET. LOOK FOR A HINT OF
UPSLOPE COMPONENT INTO THE NIGHT TO KEEP A SMALL THREAT OF SNOW
SHOWERS AND FLURRIES GOING IN THE FAR EAST THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING...BUT ANY ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MARGINAL AFTER
THIS EVENING. CHILLY HIGH PRESSURE THEN SPREADS INTO THE STATE
WITH LOW TEMPERATURES NEARING THE SINGLE DIGITS IN THE NORTHWEST
BY DAWN WEDNESDAY. WINDS STILL BRISK WILL YIELD WIND CHILLS DOWN
NEAR ZERO IN SPOTS AND MAINLY SINGLE DIGITS ELSEWHERE AT DAWN
WEDNESDAY. READING WILL THEN STRUGGLE TO RISE OUT OF THE 20S ON
WEDNESDAY DESPITE A RETURN OF SOME SUNSHINE. IN FACT...THE
SUNSHINE WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED BY SOME MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS
INBOUND FROM THAT NEXT...WEAKER...WAVE PASSING BY AT MID LEVELS.
ACCORDINGLY...HAVE NOT ZEROED OUT POPS FOR LATER WEDNESDAY AS A
COUPLE OF FLURRIES CANNOT BE RULED OUT FROM THIS FEATURE WHEN IT
BRUSHES BY FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

USE THE SHORTBLEND AS A STARTING POINT FOR TEMPERATURES AND
DEW POINTS THROUGH THE EVENING WITH THE SUPERBLEND USED
THEREAFTER. MADE ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS FOR SOME TERRAIN
DISTINCTIONS TONIGHT...AS THE GRIDS LOOKED REASONABLE. AS FOR
POPS...ENDED UP ON THE HIGH SIDE OF THE MOS...WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR
THIS TYPE OF SITUATION.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 300 AM EST TUE JAN 12 2016

PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH A MID LEVEL TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WHILE PRECIP WILL BE POSSIBLE NORTH OF
THE REGION ACROSS CENTRAL OH. WE WILL MAINLY SEE CLOUDS ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS WAVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT HERE IN EASTERN KY. ON THURSDAY
HIGH WILL BE PARKED TO THE SE AND WILL INTRODUCE RETURN FLOW TO
THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO MODERATE THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK. TEMPS ON THURSDAY WILL SOAR INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER
50S...AND THIS WILL FEEL PLEASANT GIVEN ANTECEDENT TEMPS. OVERALL
UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL FLATTEN AHEAD OF A DEEPENING TROUGH ACROSS
THE PLAINS. THIS AFOREMENTIONED DEEPENING TROUGH WILL SWING EAST
AND NORTHEAST INTO THE TN/OH VALLEYS...AS IT NEGATIVELY TILTS. AT
THE SURFACE...A SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN AND BRING A ROUND OF
SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN KY FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT. AFTER THIS THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL THEN BE FOCUSED ON
ANOTHER SURFACE LOW THAT DEVELOPS AND DEEPENS ALONG THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST. IN EASTERN KY WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM. MUCH COOLER AIR WILL TRAIL THIS SYSTEM
AND EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A RAIN/SNOW MIX IN PRECIP SATURDAY AND ALL
SNOW BY SATURDAY NIGHT. THESE CHANCES OF SNOW WILL TAPPER OFF
SUNDAY. AFTER THIS THE MODELS REALLY BEGIN TO DIVERGE. THE GFS
BRINGS ANOTHER CLIPPER DOWN FOR MONDAY...WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS
REGION DRY. RIGHT NOW WILL LEAN TO THE BLEND WHICH BRING SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION MONDAY.

OVERALL WENT TOWARD MODEL BLEND THROUGH THE PERIOD FOR MOST
ELEMENTS. DID KEEP OR MAKE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS GIVEN TRENDS AND
USUAL TOPO TEMP ISSUES. GIVEN THE CONSISTENCY FOR THE FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY SYSTEM RIGHT NOW WOULD EXPECT POPS THAT PERIOD WILL
CONTINUE TO TREND HIGHER...AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE PERIOD IF THESE
TRENDS REMAIN.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 144 PM EST TUE JAN 12 2016

A LINE OF CONVECTIVE SNOW WILL PROGRESS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON...MARKING THE END OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW. THE SNOW MAY
BE BRIEFLY INTENSE WITH VSBY LESS THAN A HALF MILE...AND
ACCOMPANIED BY WESTERLY WIND GUSTS TOPPING 25 KTS. BEHIND THE
CONVECTIVE SNOW BAND...VFR WILL RETURN FOR MOST LOCATIONS.
HOWEVER...SOME MVFR CEILINGS MAY PERSIST AT TIMES TONIGHT IN FAR
NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AROUND MOREHEAD TO PIKEVILLE.
WINDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING. VFR WITH LIGHT WINDS IS
EXPECTED DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
