.DISCUSSION...

Strong to severe thunderstorms now into our northwestern portions of
the cwa. Dewpoints in the 70s have allowed cape values to climb to
high levels this afternoon. In the mid and upper levels, pva is
helping to drive these storms as an impulse rides southeastward. 850
mb flow is rather light with only 15 to 20 kts indicated.
Nevertheless, these storms carry some height with them and a few
wind damage reports have been received over the past few hours.

HRRR seems to be handling this convection rather well. It indicates
that this activity should be rather progressive as it moves to the
southeast. Overnight...airmass will become more stable with time and
will therefore lower pops down to 20 to 30 percent after midnight.
Otw, will definitely include a pre evening period and tailor the
pops to the recent radar trends.

On Thursday, thermal troughing will lean more toward ridging as +23c
850 mb temps spread across the area. Northerly mid and upper level
flow looks disturbance free during the day with stronger low level
subsidence during the afternoon. However, with the activity
potentially becoming active again by evening, will still include a
slight chance of thunderstorms. Then on Thursday night, a frontal
boundary will be on approach. Given the heat in place, one would
think that reasonably high pops would be needed. However...mid level
temps are rather warm and the atmosphere looks capped. Question is,
will the boundary be strong enough to bust the cap and tap into the
impressively high cape values.  Latest spc day 2 info keeps the
slight risk to our east, where the better forcing along the boundary
resides. Will continue to carry low pops for showers and tstms.

Behind Thursday nights fropa, the drier air looks as though it will
win out by Friday and Friday nt.

For the near term temps, the heat on Thursday will definitely be on.
Will go mid to upper 90s for much of the area west of the Plateau.
We'll then cool it off a good 8 degrees or so on Friday.

In the ext fcst, gfs and euro solutions match up rather favorably.
A large shield of upper ridging looks as though it will dominate
much of the central and southern U.S.. The positioning of the axis
will pinwheel from the nations interior and elongate w-e over the
southern tier by Monday. Thankfully, The upper high center will
remain over the desert southwest and will put a hold on any
impressive thermal ridging across the southeastern U.S.. Thus, hot
and dry for the extended, but not too terrible and no heat
advisories are expected at this time. Dewpoints will be tolerable.

By late in the extended, w-e ridging will become suppressed and the
pattern will morph into more of a height elevated northwesterly flow
regime. With weak boundaries moving our way late in the extended,
will include low shower and thunderstorm chances by Wednesday.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

A line of showers and thunderstorms has developed NW of KCKV. This
line will push SEWD over the next several hours and likely affect
all 3 of our mid-state terminals through 00Z this evening. Gusty
winds and reduced vis are the mostly likely effects from this line
for a couple of hours at each terminal. Have tried to time this
line out with TEMPOs for KCKV/KBNA and will AMD later for KCSV as
the line closes in on I-65.
