...Cold Blast to Bring a Hard Freeze to Eastern Kentucky...

.An area of arctic high pressure will settle over the area
Tuesday night through Thursday. This will bring some of the
coldest air of this rather mild winter to eastern Kentucky. As a
result, a hard freeze can be expected by Wednesday morning with
temperatures down into the mid and upper teens. Similar readings
can be anticipated for Wednesday night into Thursday morning with
the mercury likely not climbing above freezing for most places on
Wednesday.

* Temperatures will fall quickly through the 20s Tuesday evening
  and down into the teens for lows both Tuesday and Wednesday
  nights.

* These temperatures will likely do considerable damage to fruit 
  trees, especially trees that have budded out such as apple, 
  pear, and peach trees. Other plants that are ahead of schedule 
  for the spring could also be impacted. Take necessary 
  precautions to protect any sensitive plants from prolonged sub 
  freezing temperatures later this week. Also, take precautions 
  to protect livestock and pets from these low temperatures. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Freeze Warning means sub-freezing temperatures are imminent or
highly likely. These conditions will kill crops and other
sensitive vegetation.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
350 PM EDT Mon Mar 13 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 350 PM EDT MON MAR 13 2017

...Some Snow Tonight & Tuesday...Hard Freeze Tuesday Night...

19z sfc analysis shows low pressure centered near STL as high
pressure remains strong along the East Coast. This, and down
sloping in the eastern parts of the CWA, is helping to slow the
arrival of any pcpn from the west ahead of that low. Even the
clouds are having a tough time pushing into eastern Kentucky
resulting in more insolation sending temperatures toward 60
degrees through much of the area. The warmer temperatures and
still very dry air at the sfc are making for another very low RH
afternoon for our eastern counties. Based on satellite trends, the
sky should cloud up over the next couple of hours improving the
low RH as temperatures fall. Dewpoints vary from west to east as
well ranging from the upper 20s over the Cumberland Valley to the
10 to 15 degree range in the east. Winds have also picked up in
the east with the deep mixing resulting in sustained values from 5
to 10 mph and gusts up to 20 mph from the southwest.

The models are in better agreement aloft through the short term
portion of the forecast. They all depict the twin troughs moving
in tandem through the breadth of the country. The southern one is
running along the northeast Gulf Coast this afternoon as the
northern one plows into the Great Lakes. While the southern one
whips up the Southeast Coast, the main portion to the north
settle south toward the Ohio Valley on Tuesday. This brings
sharply lower heights to Kentucky along with a stream of mid
level energy flowing over the state. Heights fall further through
Tuesday night as the mid levels bottom out just to the northeast
with huge impacts along the Mid Atlantic to New England. The
models coming together will make for higher confidence with this
forecast and the blends a decent starting point.

Sensible weather will feature the area clouding up by sunset with
rain moving in early along with falling temperatures. Snow will
start to mix in during the early morning hours tonight in the
highest elevations from northwest to southeast. Extra warmth this
afternoon will make for warmer road temperatures lingering well
into the changeover late tonight and into Tuesday morning. This
should prevent any of the snow from sticking to the roads, though
falling temperatures in the upper 20s northwest may result in some
slick spots on bridges and overpasses there. Will highlight this
in a forthcoming SPS along with a discussion of light
accumulations anticipated through Tuesday afternoon for our ridges
and higher elevations. Expect scattered to numerous snow showers
through the area tomorrow with most places hard pressed to see any
accumulations outside of ridges and places at elevations above
2500 feet. The highest peaks could pick up as much as two inches
of snow before all is said and done, but the vast majority of the
area will see little more than a dusting and mainly on
grassy/elevated sfcs. Temperatures will not go too far on Tuesday
setting up a very cold night into Wednesday morning where mid
teens will be possible for lows - missing record status mainly due
to the post 'Storm of the Century' lows of 1993. Will issue a
freeze warning for this night starting at 8 pm Tuesday and lasting
through noon Thursday as readings will not make it far above
freezing on Wednesday.

Again used the CONSShort and the ShortBlend as the starting point
for the grids throughout the short term portion of the forecast.
Made only minor changes to the lows tonight and Tuesday night
given the higher moisture tonight and CAA into Wednesday morning.
Worked with the PoP grids to slow the higher values arrival this
evening and to fine tune them later tonight into Tuesday for
some upslope flow enhancement.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 308 PM EDT MON MAR 13 2017

High pressure will settle over the area from Wednesday through
Thursday evening. The abnormally cold conditions will continue
with temperatures on Wednesday struggling to reach freezing. Then
lows Wednesday night may fall into the lower to mid teens
areawide, setting up the coldest night of the week. Given this
long period of sub-freezing temperatures, will keep the freeze
warning going through Thursday morning. A shortwave trough will
then cross the Ohio river valley Friday and Friday night with our
next good chance for rain. Temperatures should warm enough ahead
of this system to yield all rain. While it does cool off in the
wake of this system on Saturday, not nearly as good of a push of
cold air this time, so may see a few wrap around rain showers into
Saturday afternoon. We dry out again by Saturday night and Sunday
as high pressure again crosses the area. Rain chances will start
to ramp back up on Monday as our next system starts to approach
the area.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 155 PM EDT MON MAR 13 2017

Clouds will lower this afternoon, as an area of low pressure
approaches from the west. Rain will move in toward sunset from
west to east, with MVFR ceilings/visibilities arriving as well.
Conditions will continue to deteriorate down to IFR or worse
through 09z, with snow mixing in with the rain late. The cigs will
gradually improve later Tuesday morning from west to east as the
light pcpn becomes more variable and more fleeting. Southerly
winds at 5 to 10 kts this afternoon will likely go light and
variable tonight as the low pressure center draws closer but pick
up again from the northwest at 5 to 10 kts Tuesday morning.
