AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
523 PM EDT Fri Jul 20 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 340 PM EDT FRI JUL 20 2018

A cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms is approaching the
forecast area from the west. At this time, should these storms
hold together, they would begin to affect portions of the area
along and north of a line from Stanton to Campton to Salyersville
to Canada in Pike county. The question now will be whether or not
these storms will be able to maintain their current intensity as
they move over a portion of the area that received quite a bit of
rainfall this morning. Will keep severe wording in the grids and
the zone forecast text product until we see firm evidence that the
ongoing storms can not maintain current strength or that new
activity will not be able to reach severe limits. For now it will
be a matter watching and seeing what happens as ongoing storms
move into our area. At this time, we feel that the primary threats
with any strong to severe storms will be damaging wind gusts and
locally heavy rainfall that could lead to flooding. A new concern
is the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding, especially for
areas that receive alot of rain this morning. A flash flood watch
is in effect to address this issue through midnight tonight. At
this time, multiple rounds of showers and storms are expected to
move across the area this afternoon through Saturday night. The
trigger for this activity will be an area of low pressure that
will be moving slowly across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley
regions, and the surface cold front associated with it.

Temperatures should bottom out the next two nights at near normal
values in the mid to upper 60s. Highs on Saturday will depend on
the amount of cloud cover and precipitation we experience, but
should generally be well below normal, with max values ranging
from the upper 70s in our north, to the lower 80s everywhere else.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 523 PM EDT FRI JUL 20 2018

An amplified long wave pattern will remain in place across the
country, as ridging dominates across the southwestern CONUS, while
troughing rules east of the Mississippi River. An upper level low
will gradually move south from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast
by late Tuesday, keeping unsettled weather across the Ohio and
Tennessee valleys. Another trough will be moving east within the
northern stream across south central Canada, bringing another
surface cold front through our region into Wednesday. The cold
front will then linger in the vicinity of the area through Friday,
allowing for a continued threat of chance POPs.

Likely POPs will be on tap as the upper level and surface lows
draw closest to the region. Depending on how much rainfall occurs
leading up to this system, some localized flooding may be possible
late this weekend. POPs then become more diurnally influenced
into next week, as the front approaches and eventually stalls from
mid-week onward. Temperatures will start out below normal for the
weekend and then trend more towards normal next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 159 PM EDT FRI JUL 20 2018

As a surface low pressure has advanced towards the Commonwealth
from the west this morning, showers and thunderstorms overspread
the northernmost TAF sites of SYM, JKL, and SJS. A second round of
storms will affect the area this evening, although timing is
still a bit uncertain at this time. Have allowed for a TEMPO group
of IFR to show the advancement of this line later this evening.
Winds will generally be light, but will increase with storms to
about 20 kts. Wind gusts could potentially reach 35 kts or greater
with this line. The other concern towards the end of the TAF
period will be fog development, particularly in areas with recent
rains from during the day and evening. Have allowed for MVFR
conditions towards dawn to address this. The likelihood of showers
will remain high on Saturday as the low pressure system moves even
closer to our region.
