Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
245 PM EDT THU JUL 7 2016
.SHORT TERM (Now through Friday Night)...
Issued at 300 AM EDT Thu Jul 7 2016
Lots of light to moderate rain across the region this hour, but
heavier rains continue near our border with TN. Have issued several
flash flood warnings. Rain rates from the KY mesonet as well as MRMS
have varied from 4-6 inches/hour in the more intense cells.
The wave that is generating this heavy rain is well initialized in
the models. As the morning progresses, this wave should head into
eastern KY, leaving a boundary that carves a path around our
southern forecast area, if not just south of it. The NAM tries to
keep our south and east rainy through the morning hours, whereas the
Hi-res WRF's our local WRF and the HRRR portray the more likely
solution of a drying out period in the wake of the wave and also as
isentropic lift weakens across the region.
By this afternoon, expect a boundary to remain somewhere across our
south, which when combined with heating, should allow additional
storms to develop. Latest WRF-NMM and GFS supports this thinking,
but given other models keep rain chances elsewhere, will have at
least a slight chance areawide in the mid afternoon to early evening
hours. As was the case yesterday, with warm highs and plenty of
moisture, CAPEs will be high, but some drier air aloft also will
make DCAPEs fairly high, so damaging wind is a threat in addition to
heavy rains. Freezing levels look too high for any hail threat today.
Tonight's storm chances will depend on upstream development. Latest
GFS and Euro would have another MCS develop over the Upper Midwest
and track east southeast. This track would have it just clip our
northern forecast area. Given the boundary left in the wake of
convection this morning, would not be surprised if these storms
track a little farther south. The remains of this system, along with
a trough heading over the Upper Midwest should serve as a focus for
new storms Friday afternoon. Wind fields are a bit stronger aloft,
but unidirectional, so storms could see some organization as they
develop over our region and travel eastward. Precipitable waters
remain high so once again flash flooding is possible.
The only other concern in the forecast is for heat indices Friday
afternoon. Given a potential for a later start to storms that day,
we should see highs rise into the lower 90s for most locations.
Combined with the present humidity, that should make for heat
indices close to advisory range, especially along and west of a
Louisville to Campbellsville line.
.LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
Issued at 244 PM EDT Thu Jul 7 2016
GFS/Euro still force any convection to just along or south of the
KY/TN border for the weekend, so most of the area should be dry.
That moisture may try and sneak back in here for the next work week,
resulting in daily chances of scattered storms. Temperatures will be
near normal.
&&
.AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 242 PM EDT Thu Jul 7 2016
Storms will move through from west to east early this
evening...should be out of the area around 01Z. These storms may
produce strong wind gusts, though locally heavy downpours on
saturated ground may be the main concern. Trees may be more easily
toppled by sub-severe winds given the soaked ground.
Moving into the overnight hours, the HRRR and SPC HRRR, which have
been doing the best among the models today, have shown inter- and
intra-run consistency advertising another round of storms overnight
as a 5H wave over Kansas today moves into the Ohio Valley tonight.
Those models also did an exemplary job with the overnight convection
last night. If these forecast storms do materialize, then there will
be additional flash flooding concerns tonight even though the
overnight storms are not expected to be particularly strong. After
chatting with neighboring offices, have decided to extend the Flash
Flood Watch through the night.
Any overnight storms should move off to the east by the time the sun
comes up on Friday. We should have several dry hours for much of the
day on Friday until a cold front approaches toward evening.
The atmosphere is expected to become extremely unstable Friday
afternoon with CAPE 3k-4k J/kg and LI to -9C. Shear and surface
convergence won't be particularly strong, and there will be some mid-
level capping to overcome, but the invading front should help to
spark storms. Precipitable water values will pool around two inches
ahead of the boundary, so locally torrential downpours will be
possible late Friday afternoon into Friday evening. Strong DCAPE,
dry air aloft, and unidirectional shear suggest gusty winds will be
the main severe threat. The most likely area for strong storms
and locally heavy downpours looks to be southern Kentucky.
Heat index readings will peak around 100F Friday afternoon.
