AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
425 PM EDT Thu Sep 6 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday night)
Issued at 300 PM EDT THU SEP 6 2018

The remnants of the tropical system reside over Arkansas this
afternoon. Per water vapor imagery. An area of deformation
extends along the spine of the Appalachians. This has led to very
little shear and very slow shower and storm movement today. The
lack of shear has really limited stronger activity today and thus,
we haven't had a big issue with heavy rain today. Will maintain a
small chance of shower and a few storms into the evening, but
once we lose instability, we should see everything die down much
like the past several evenings. This will lead to some more river
valley fog tonight. Could see locally dense fog down in the
southwest areas where the rain has fallen today.

By tomorrow, a cold front will stall just north of the Ohio river.
This should focus the best shower and storm chances to our north.
However, enough moisture and instability remains that we should
see another round of isolated shower and storm activity. This
activity should die off once more as we lose instability tomorrow
evening with another night of valley fog for Friday night. As it
stands right now, showers and storms should erode enough in time
for Friday night festivities.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 425 PM EDT THU SEP 6 2018

No significant changes to the extended. Models continue to
exhibit good agreement in solutions with respect to the overall
pattern and sequence of events. Remnants of Gordan and the
potential for heavy rain continue to be the focus of the forecast.
In general models have trended slightly slower with solutions and
sequence of events through the extended. Gordon will phase with
an approaching shortwave trough moving eastward from the Plains
Friday night through Saturday. Gordon should complete the process
of transitioning into a subtropical system by Saturday night and
then make a more aggressive move northeast through the Midwest and
Great Lakes Region by the start of the new week. Additional
shortwave energy moving in from the west will tend to reinforce
some of the troughiness across the Ohio and Tenn Valley and may
slow progress of a surface frontal boundary through eastern
Kentucky until early to mid-week, or the Tue-Wed time frame.

The ECMWF, Canadian, GFS, and Parallel GFS (FV3) are showing
signs of narrowing on solutions with respect to Florence, which
now bring the system towards the Mid-Atlantic region by Thursday.
Three of the four solutions bring Florence at least briefly on
shore somewhere between North Carolina and Long Island by the end
of the period or just beyond the extended window. Only the FV3
keeps Florence off shore (just).

Sensible weather features an unsettled weather pattern with the
potential of heavy rain across at least a portion of our forecast
area. Areas most likely at threat will be roughly along and north
of a line from Mount Vernon to Sandy Hook, where between 2 and
3.5 inches of rainfall will be possible. PWATs will climb to
between 1.7 and 2 inches with a surface frontal zone across the
region providing a focus for convection. This could set the stage
for repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms for our more
northwestern zones. With respect to timing, Saturday night through
Monday appears to be the main window of concern, where the bulk
of rainfall could take place. Some uncertainty still exists in the
exact track, timing, and evolution of this system through the
region. In addition, with the main event still 5th period or
further out, decided to reissue and fine tune the ESF for now.
However, would not be surprised if a watch were issued within the
next forecast cycle or two. Again, at this time areas most likely
to be affected are our northeastern zones.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 145 PM EDT THU SEP 6 2018

Expect some widely isolated showers and storms this afternoon,
with it all dying off by sunset. Fog development is expected again
later tonight. This will be hindered by any cloud cover across
the area. Winds are expected to remain light and variable across
the area outside of thunderstorms.

&&

.JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
