AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
738 PM EDT Wed Apr 5 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 622 PM EDT WED APR 5 2017

So far the isolated storms that have affected the western part of
our forecast area have remained below severe limits. However,
severe storms from Burkesville KY north to near Cincinnati OH are
moving northeast and will begin to affect our southwest counties
around 7 PM. SPC tornado climatology shows that our southwest
counties were well within the range of all severe weather
parameters except LCL, which was too high. However the earlier
showers there may have helped lower the LCL, so the tornado threat
will need to be monitored as storms move into the Lake Cumberland
area.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night)
Issued at 358 PM EDT WED APR 5 2017

While dewpoints remain in the 40s across the eastern part of the
forecast area, low level moisture is surging north into central KY
and as far east as the Lake Cumberland area. The dewpoint is up
to 59 at Monticello and 58 at the McCreary County Mesonet site.
The higher dewpoints line up well with the tornado watch that was
just issued by SPC. Storms are beginning to develop across western
and central KY and storms are expected to move into the forecast
area after 6 PM this evening. Current timing indicates the
greatest severe threat will exist from 6 PM to midnight. Storms
should evolve into a broken line with embedded supercells as they
move east into and across the forecast area this evening.

Low pressure near Evansville IN will deepen as it moves northeast
tonight, and the cold front which has just moved into western KY
will surge east across the forecast area tonight. Once the
thunderstorms there will be a lull, then showers will spread back
across the area later tonight as wrap around moisture surges into
the area as low pressure moves northeast. Thursday will be
windy with temperatures near steady in the 40s or falling through
the 40s. Wind gusts on Thursday will be 25 to 35 with a few
isolated higher gusts. In elevations above 3K feet snow showers
are expected by Thursday afternoon.

Colder air will continue to pour into the area Thursday night,
with rain showers and snow showers continuing. Lows Thursday night
will be above freezing expect for the higher terrain near the VA
border. As such snow accumulation is not expected except in the
higher terrain. Black Mountain may see a couple of inches of snow
Thursday night.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 358 PM EDT WED APR 5 2017

Surface high pressure will build into the area for the end of the
week, and with clearing skies a freeze will be possible Friday
night. As the high shifts east, temperatures will not be as cold
Saturday night, but frost will still be possible in colder valley
location Saturday night. With the high shifting off the eastern
seaboard on Sunday, and upper level ridging building into the area
we will see a warming trend which will last into the first part of
the coming week. An upper level short wave trough and associated
surface low will move from the plains into the Great Lakes on
Tuesday with a cold front moving across our area. This will bring
a chance of showers and thunderstorms, with slightly cooler air
following for mid week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
ISSUED AT 738 PM EDT WED APR 5 2017

A broken line of thunderstorms will move across the area this
evening. Some of the storms may be severe, mainly in the northwest
part of the forecast area. It is uncertain whether SME and LOZ
will be affected by storms so will go with VCTS there for now, and
carry a 2 hour window of storms at the other TAF sites. The storms
should move east of the forecast area around 05Z.

A cold front pushing east across the area will bring the
thunderstorms this evening.The front will push east of the area
tonight and gusty south winds will shift to the southwest tonight and
then to the west on Thursday. West winds on Thursday will gust to
25 to 30 knots. Outside of thunderstorms VFR conditions will
prevail this evening, but low cloud will move into the area behind
the front with IFR to MVFR ceilings prevailing on Thursday. There
will also be showers on Thursday, with some snow in the highest
elevations of far southeast KY.
