336 PM EDT Thu May 11 2017

.Short Term...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 315 PM EDT Thu May 11 2017

...Severe Storms Possible Late This Afternoon and Evening...

Numerous showers and storms have erupted along a slow moving frontal
boundary this afternoon.  These storms have been slow to grow
upscale.  However, they have produced torrential rainfall and gusty
winds.  As we get into the late afternoon/evening hours, this
convection will continue to move southeast.  Given convective trends
so far this afternoon, still feel damaging winds will be a threat in
some of the stronger cells through this evening.  Also of note will
be the torrential rainfall as convection has had a tendency to train
especially near the I-64 corridor late this afternoon.  Will need to
watch convective trends throughout the evening especially along and
north of the I-64 corridor as flash flood guidance is lower in these
areas (as low as 1-1.5 inches per hr).  Isld instances of hail up to
1 inch may also be possible as a secondary threat.

After this complex of storms and the frontal boundary move southeast
through the area this evening, we may see a brief lull or less
activity by late evening or during the early morning hours.  Then
the boundary should lift back north as a low pressure moves
northeast along the boundary late tonight into Fri morning resulting
in another round of showers and perhaps some isld-sct t-storms
mainly over south central KY.  These storms should be non-severe but
may contain heavy rain which could cause some isld minor flooding
issues in areas that received t-storms this afternoon/evening.

Rain showers will diminish from NW to SE Fri during the day as the
parent low pressure system pulls away from the region.  Skies will
begin to clear Fri night.

Temperatures will be cooler post-frontal with highs dropping back
into the 60s Fri.  Lows will be in the upper 50s/lower 60s tonight
and then upper 40s/lower 50s Fri night.

&&

.Long Term...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 335 PM EDT Thu May 11 2017

A dry pattern looks in store for the coming weekend and the first
part of next week as an upper level ridge slowly moves into the
region.  As a result we'll see a gradual warm-up into the low 80s by
Sun and then into the upper 80s by next Tue/Wed.

By Thu, a southerly return flow with a few disturbances will setup
bringing rain/t-storm chances back into the region and at least
slightly cooler air.

&&

.Aviation...(18Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 158 PM EDT Thu May 11 2017

Currently convection is redeveloping along the Ohio River and
working it's way southeast. This line will bring periods of showers
and scattered storms to all three TAF sites between 18-24z. Expect
MVFR visibility during periods of showers. As convection moves out
this evening, ceilings will lower to IFR at LEX and BWG, and SDF
will likely see MVFR during the morning hours. BWG may see another
round of showers and storms beginning 06-12z.
