Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
325 PM EDT Wed May 24 2017

.Short Term (Now through Thursday Night)...
Issued at 315 PM EDT Wed May 24 2017

...Severe Storms Possible Until Early Evening East of I-65...

Closed upper low over the mid-Mississippi Valley is starting to fill
in, but a vort lobe lifting through the Tennessee Valley ahead of it
has really sharpened and may be taking over as the main player in
our weather. Surface reflection is a deepening 995mb low now lifting
through south-central Kentucky. Axis of marginal instability running
just west of the I-75 corridor, with backed low-level winds,
continues to support a severe threat that includes the potential for
brief tornadoes. Thus we remain under a Tornado Watch roughly east
of a line from Frankfort to Greensburg to Tompkinsville, though we
will spend the late afternoon hours trimming counties from the south
end of the watch as surface winds shift to NW.

Precip shield associated with the upper system will take a bit
longer to exit, with additional rainfall approaching an inch along
the I-65 corridor, though locally higher totals are quite likely in
the more convective activity to the east. Expect the pattern to slow
down due to some Fujiwhara effect between the two upper lows, and we
will end up with a stacked system somewhere near Cincinnati by
daybreak on Thursday. POPs tonight will taper from likely
along/north of I-64 to a low chance across south-central Kentucky.

Elongated north-south trofiness early on Thursday will support
scattered to numerous showers with the highest POPs across the
Bluegrass region, closer to the low pressure center. Precip chances
will taper down fairly sharply in the afternoon, and no mention of
thunder given a lack of instability. Clouds and precip will hold
temps in check, especially in the Bluegrass where we may not get out
of the 60s. Expect dry conditions, gradual clearing, and seasonable
temps Thursday night as shortwave upper ridging takes over.

.Long Term (Friday through Wednesday)...
Issued at 305 PM EDT Wed May 24 2017

Expect unsettled weather for much of the holiday weekend, bookended
by dry and pleasant days on Friday and Monday. Shortwave ridging on
Friday will keep us dry for most of the day, but a weak disturbance
passing just to our north will warrant a slight chance POP for
southern Indiana late in the day. A weak front will drop into the
Ohio Valley Friday night and hang up parallel to the flow aloft.

For most of Memorial Day weekend, the front will remain nearly
stationary over the Ohio Valley, and a series of disturbances will
interact with this front to spawn multiple rounds of showers and
storms. Best chances will be Sat night into Sun as an upper trof
digs into the Plains, and the better dynamics aloft could allow for
a few stronger storms as well. Cold front looks to pass through
Sunday night, with a mid level dry slot bringing drier conditions
into Memorial Day.

Another chance for showers arrives Tuesday, with a few afternoon
thunderstorms possible as a shortwave embedded in the parent trough
rotates through our region.

&&

.Aviation (18Z TAF Update)...
Issued at 157 PM EDT Wed May 24 2017

Precipitation is currently lifting away from KSDF and KLEX. Both
sites will see some sun this afternoon. Rain that is currently over
KBWG will move northeast over SDF and then LEX for another round of
showers later this evening. KBWG is experiencing MVFR conditions due
to reduced visibilities with the rain. This will improve to low
level VFR during the late evening and early morning until ceilings
fall back to MVFR before sunrise. KSDF will fall into MVFR this
evening due to low ceilings and stay there through most of tomorrow.
KSDF may see IFR conditions as they near midnight. KLEX will fall
into MVFR conditions this evening because of dropping ceilings. As
the ceiling in KLEX continues to fall expect IFR conditions through
tomorrow morning.
