AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
322 PM EDT Sun Sep 9 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 322 PM EDT SUN SEP 9 2018

Upper level low pressure near the southern end of lake Michigan
continues to pull slowly NNE. At the surface low pressure
centered northeast of Lexington continues to very slowly move
northeast. A trailing cold front extends southwest to just west
of Bowling Green. With the very slow movement of the upper and
surface systems, the cold front will be slow to move across
eastern KY. There is good model agreement that the front will be
near the VA border at 12Z Monday, and then push on southeast
before stalling out along the Appalachians.

With ongoing flood and flash flood warnings in the area we will
continue the flash flood watch, which is in effect until 8 PM.
Heavier rains will shift southeast of the areas that have already
been hard hit, and convection will decrease in intensity this
evening. The southeast part of the area has not experienced
repeated heavy rains like the northwest and flash flood guidance
is higher there. So even though showers and storms will continue
beyond 8 PM the threat for new flash flooding will end. However
some flood warnings may need to be extended in the northwest for
ongoing flooding that will continue well after the rain ends.

With the front stalling just to the southeast of our area along
the Appalachians, we will see much cooler air spread into eastern
KY for a couple of days. Highs on Monday will only be in the upper
60s to lower 70s and lows Monday night will be in the upper 50s to
lower 60s. Rain will end late tonight into early Monday from
northwest to southeast, but a few showers may linger in the
southeast into Monday night.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 322 PM EDT SUN SEP 9 2018

The cold front which will move southeast of the area on Monday
will stall along the Appalachians, but will meander back into the
area by mid week. There is excellent model agreement that a
sprawling area of upper level high pressure north of Bermuda will
build west as the week progresses. With rising heights and the
surface front moving back into the area, we'll see temperatures
return to well above normal readings, with above normal
temperatures continuing into next weekend. With increasing
temperatures and moisture, and the already mentioned front moving
back into the area, the threat for afternoon and evening
thunderstorms will return by midweek, and continue into the
weekend.

The main focus for many folks during the coming week will of
course be the path of Hurricane Florence. The hurricane will
track west or west-northwest on the south side of the upper high,
before nearing or moving onshore somewhere over the southeast to
mid Atlantic coast. There is tremendous uncertainty of the path of
the hurricane, with the ECMWF still having an extreme western
solution into western VA and the latest GFS run indicating the
hurricane may not even make land fall. For our area it is
important to note that even with the western solution of the ECMWF
any significant impacts and heavy rain will remain east of
eastern KY, mainly on the east side of the Appalachians.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 131 PM EDT SUN SEP 9 2018

Numerous showers and thunderstorms will affect the area this
afternoon into tonight as low pressure moves from central KY into
OH, and a cold front pushes towards eastern KY. Outside of showers
and thunderstorms VFR conditions and light winds will prevail
this afternoon, but MVFR to LIFR conditions and wind gusts to 30
knots will occur in and near showers and thunderstorms. The cold
front will move very slowly southeast across the area tonight and
be near the VA-KY border by 12Z Monday. Low clouds and fog will
persist in the area just behind the cold front with IFR to LIFR
conditions expected from late tonight into Monday. Conditions will
be slow to improve on Monday, with any fog gradually lifting, but
IFR ceilings persisting into the afternoon.
