AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
420 PM EDT Thu Jul 6 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 336 PM EDT THU JUL 6 2017

Shortwave trough passing across the area this evening will force
an uptick in shower and thunderstorm activity over the next few
hours. Plenty of breaks have developed allowing instability to
build with SPC Mesoanalysis indicating CAPE exceeding 2000 J/kg
over parts of eastern KY. Enough shear exists that the recent
storm that developed southeast of Middlesboro took on some
rotation, so storms this afternoon will continue to pose a threat
for strong wind gusts, along with heavy downpours. Continue to
think that the flash flood threat is minimal due to fairly rapid
storm motions, but any location that gets trained over will have
the potential for flash flooding to develop.

The storms will diminish from northwest to southeast as the
trough axis shifts to our east overnight. Fog/stratus will then
become an increasing concern as precip ends and clouds scatter out
late in the night. Could see some issues with dense fog but
believe stratus will win out and a low overcast will form,
persisting well past dawn on Friday morning.

Friday should remain mostly dry but instability will build after
the morning low clouds burn off. A cold front will then push
southeast across the area during the evening. Models move the
front in after peak heating, and instability will be diminishing.
However, a few strong storms will be possible across our northwest
counties during the evening. A diminishing line of showers and
storms will then work southeast through the remainder of the area
through the night.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 420 PM EDT THU JUL 6 2017

The models are in pretty good agreement aloft showing a stable and
persistent pattern through the extended portion of the forecast.
Strong ridging over the southwest parts of the country will shift
slowly east to the central Rockies by early next week. To the east
a fairly deep trough will be in place over the Great Lakes and
into the Ohio Valley through the weekend and into next week. Early
in the extended, a batch of energy rounding the base of the
trough will pass through the Ohio Valley digging the system a
extra bit south on Saturday. Following this, just weak energy will
pass over Kentucky in northwest flow as the pattern relaxes a bit
and heights tick up. The model spread opens up a little at this
time step, though they remain fairly close. Another batch of
energy passes through the Ohio Valley early in the week. This
minor wave will not prevent heights from building further through
mid week as as the western ridges shifts east into the central
Plains. Given the model agreement and trends a general blend looks
to be a good start for the forecast grids through the extended.

Sensible weather will feature showers and thunderstorms exiting the
area early Saturday with a cold front. A dry Canadian high
pressure system will then drop over Kentucky bringing a respite
from the humidity and shower/thunderstorm threat for the weekend.
In fact, the high will also bring in some temperatures in the
upper 50s for Saturday night into Sunday morning, the "coolest" we
will have seen in well over a week. This break from the weather
pattern we have experienced so far this summer will not last long,
though, as moisture and the threat of showers/storms, diurnally
driven, return for the start of the upcoming week. That latter mid
level wave then looks to bring the best chance for more
convection to the area Tuesday into Wednesday with a sfc front
slowly moving south into Kentucky. With no strong area of high
pressure in its wake and the main ridge aloft off to the southeast
would look for scattered showers and thunderstorms to continue to
be around on Thursday - again diurnally driven.

Made some typical ridge to valley changes to the low temperatures
each night through the extended - more so on the weekend, though,
given the temporary drier conditions. Also, adjusted PoPs on
Tuesday and Wednesday to smooth out the high spots preferring to
keep values in the mid chance range.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 147 PM EDT THU JUL 6 2017

Showers and thunderstorms will be on the increase over the next
couple of hours. Coverage of the storms should peak between 20z
and 04z and I broadbrushed MVFR conditions during this period, but
temporary IFR will occur in storms along with very heavy rainfall
and gusty winds. As the showers and storms diminish overnight,
stratus and fog will fill in. Guidance is hitting the stratus/fog
hard again and see no reason to argue. The low clouds will then
likely be slow to lift/breakup tomorrow morning with conditions
probably not returning to VFR until the midday hours.
