Area forecast discussion, Aug 27, 2:19 PM CDT, 2 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Louisville KY 319 PM EDT SAT AUG 27 2016 .SHORT TERM (Now through Sunday Night)... Issued at 255 PM EDT Sat Aug 27 2016 An outflow boundary from the complex of storms moving through central Indiana today continues to move east across our region (mainly southern IN/north central KY). Although there's not much more than 20-25 mph wind gusts with this boundary, it is helping to break down capping over our region spawning showers/storms in its wake. Expect this activity to continue through the northern Bluegrass through this evening. In addition a shortwave moving northwest along the southern periphery of the ridge is sparking convection over central TN currently and high-res models do indicate that it will cause more convection over south central KY this evening. As far as storm threats, don't think we'll see much of a severe wx threat but a few strong storms are possible with gusty winds and heavy rainfall. Expect showers/storms to diminish after sunset with a mostly dry overnight period. Low temperatures will range through the lower 70s tonight. For Sunday, expect the ridging to be weaker with many short range models indicating a shortwave should arrive during the afternoon hours to kick off isld-sct showers/storms. Again, not anticipating any severe wx but a few strong storms with strong wind gusts may occur. Heat indices will continue to be a concern on Sunday afternoon reaching around 100 degrees. Lows Sun night will again range through the low 70s. .LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday)... Issued at 315 PM EDT Sat Aug 27 2016 Hot, muggy weather will continue through mid week with highs in the 90s and dewpts hanging in the 70s/upper 60s. Small convection chances will continue with slight disturbances in the flow. The best days early this week for showers/storms will be Monday and Wednesday. For the latter part of the week, models indicate a welcome cool down as a cold front finally moves through the region. High temps will drop back into the low to mid 80s Thu-Sat with lower humidity expected. We'll see a lull in precipitation as well for the latter half of the week. && .AVIATION (18Z TAF Update)... Issued at 130 PM EDT Sat Aug 27 2016 A complex of storms was moving through SDF and points NE and will slowly continue to do so through the afternoon hours. This complex should provide SDF with VCTS for the next few hours. Later this afternoon, expect convective develop over south central KY close to BWG. Not confident with t-storm chances yet since it will be isld, but did include VCSH in BWG TAF. LEX should stay far enough under the upper ridge to remain convection free for the day. Tonight expect winds to become light/vrb or calm with some fog chances possible mainly at BWG/SDF if it rains at the terminal this afternoon/evening. Will keep fog light compared to MOS guidance at this time. Tomorrow scattered showers/storms are expected mainly during the afternoon hours just beyond 18Z. && .LMK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
