Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
256 AM EDT FRI APR 8 2016

.SHORT TERM (Now through Saturday)...
Issued at 255 AM EDT Fri Apr 8 2016

Mother Nature's familiar refrain for this spring rings true, as the
main challenges once again are wind gusts this afternoon and
potential freeze tonight into Sat morning.

Main weather player is an upper-level wave diving out of the Upper
Midwest to reinforce the eastern CONUS trof. Surface reflection is
not as strong as some of the recent Clippers, but we're still seeing
precip over the Upper Mississippi Valley, and this is generally well
handled by the models.

As this disturbance deepens and moves ESE this morning, precip will
break out southward into the Ohio Valley by late morning, but some
question as to how quickly mid-level moisture will be available.
Therefore POPs are limited to chance in parts of west-central and
south-central Kentucky, with low-end likely POPs mainly across the
Bluegrass. Steep lapse rates and low freezing levels could yield
some small hail, and a rumble of thunder will be possible as well.

Gradient really tightens behind the departing precip shield, and
we'll have a brief surge of west winds that will again be quite
close to advisory thresholds late this afternoon into early evening.
It's a narrow window that has both the gradient and the stronger
mixing to support 40+ mph gusts, but certainly 35 mph gusts will be
fairly common late this afternoon. At this time we'll cover it with
a Special Weather Statement, given that it would be a marginal
advisory and exact timing is a bit uncertain.

Other main story is cold temps, especially late tonight into Sat
morning. Cold advection will drag unseasonably cold air into the
Ohio Valley, with the mixy boundary layer as the only factor to save
us from significant frost. However, forecast lows in the upper 20s
across much of the area, and at or below freezing clear down to the
Tennessee border, are enough to upgrade tonight's Freeze Watch to a
Freeze Warning. A hard freeze is possible especially across portions
of southern Indiana and the Bluegrass, but the wind will keep temps
fairly uniform.

High pressure finally settles in on Saturday, but the thermal trof
overhead will drop 850mb temps close to -10C, so we'll need some
strong April sun to even squeeze out forecast highs in the mid/upper
40s.

.LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday)...
Issued at 255 AM EDT Fri Apr 8 2016

The main forecast concern in the long term is the freeze potential
Saturday night, followed by precipitation chances Sunday into early
next week.

High pressure overhead late Saturday will start to retreat into
eastern Kentucky as the night progresses. Light winds will allow
temps to drop quickly Saturday evening, and we'll see a greater
spread between the urban areas and the sheltered rural valleys. Sub-
freezing temps are a good bet across the Bluegrass, but return flow
developing after midnight will put the brakes on radiational
cooling, especially west of I-65. Also we have enough headline and
near-headline events to discuss first, so we'll save any headlines
for at least one more cycle.

Will be a wet start to the work week as low pressure working through
the Great Lakes drives a cold front into the Ohio Valley. Will ramp
precip chances up late Sunday, with likely to categorical POPs
across much of the area Sunday night and continuing through Monday
night as the front makes very slow progress across the area.

Southern stream wave will finally kick the front to our south and
east on Tuesday, giving way to an amplifying pattern with a building
ridge over the middle of the CONUS for the latter half of the week.
Expect a few days of dry weather with temps recovering to near or
above seasonal normals.

&&

.AVIATION (06Z TAF Update)...
Updated at 1244 AM EDT Fri Apr 8 2016

Winds will once again be the main concern for this TAF period.
Northwesterly winds tonight continue to diminish and will be
shifting to more of a WSW direction before dawn. A disturbance will
then sweep through the region during the morning and early afternoon
bringing with it a chance for showers. Will include around 4 hours
of -SHRA at each TAF site with the disturbance moving through. Winds
this morning will increase and become gusty. They will then increase
even more during the late afternoon to early evening hours as
precipitation moves off to the east. Sustained WNW winds this
afternoon will be in the 18-25 knot range with gusts of 30-35 knots
at times. These gusts should diminish after sunset.
