Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
1026 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

.Forecast Update...
Issued at 1025 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

Cancelled part of the Tornado Watch. Cannot rule out an isolated
severe cell popping up behind the main line, again because of the
jet streak now moving through Indiana. Still watching severe cells
going through our southern and eastern counties, along with a few
cells in central Kentucky. Likely will cancel another row or two of
counties at the top of the next hour as well. Also of note is strong
wind gusts along the cold front.  HNB came in with a 40 knot gust at
the top of the hour.

Issued at 850 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

Active night for the region, with multiple severe storms and
possibly some tornadoes having dropped down so far this evening.
DCAPE's ahead of the line...actually the pre-line...are high in the
900-1000 J/kg range. Have had a few reports in the 60 mph range from
the KY Mesonet stations along with several damage reports. Still
some signal for further strong storms with the line in back in
westner KY/southwest IN...but this new line that developed and now
is along/east of I-65 should take a bit of the energy from that
line. Updated gridded forecast, but really no big changes at this
time.

Issued at 730 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

Line coming in as well as new cells developing ahead of it continue
to work in an environment that has high enough effective storm
relative helicity for rotating cells. Line is oriented near normal
to the 0-3 km shear vector, so will be watching for QLCS tornado
development as well. Thus a new Tornado Watch has been issued across
all of southern Indiana and central Kentucky, through 05Z, though we
should be able to cancel it in portions from west to east as the
night goes on.

Issued at 635 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

Southern half of the line is mostly gone, but the northern half
continues racing eastward, aside from its southern component now
near FFT. Decided to go ahead and expand the Tornado Watch eastward
to cover the rest of our forecast area over the next 1.5 hours.
Seeing some supercell characteristics on that southern storm and
would not be surprised to see these continue into the Bluegrass in
that time period.

Issued at 530 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

Had a narrow line of better convergence out ahead of the cold front.
 So far this line has allowed three stronger cells to form, with the
southern one still in our area now over Henry county. So far our
peak wind gusts however still are coming from the gradient winds out
ahead of the line (with a 52 mph gust earlier).

A second line now is moving into southern IL, and this line will
find its way into southern IN/northern KY later this evening, likely
into Louisville between 8 and 11, depending on how much it
accelerates eastward...and Lexington between 11 and 1 AM. The slower
it goes, the better dynamics aloft will help maintain it, as we move
into the right rear quadrant of an upper jet. Plenty of low-level
winds mixing down along this line will keep the severe wind gusts as
the main threat, but with these systems, isolated tornadoes still
are possible. Issued an update to try and time the two waves in the
grids. Would not be surprised to later issue an update for a Severe
Thunderstorm Watch to replace the Tornado Watch and extend it
farther south.

&&

.Short Term...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 120 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

...Severe Thunderstorms Possible late this Afternoon and Evening...

Well...on the 44th anniversary of the Super Outbreak (ironic for
sure)...a warm front lifted overnight and temps have risen 20-25
degrees ever since. Currently, 78 at SDF at 1 pm. Two items of
interest right now.

The first is sfc gradient winds which are cranking with gusts as
high as 38 mph at noon. The second item is the cap at 850 mb. UPS
aircraft data showing a stout cap but models bust this with dynamic
forcing and sfc heating by 19z. We have a 4 hour window for discrete
supercells across the northern third of the CWA.

Item 1: Strong SSW winds of 35 to 40 mph at many of the KY Mesonet
locations. LOU just gusted over 45 mph. Wind Advisory still looks
good especially as the inversion breaks and more substantial mixing
occurs. Expect gusts to easily exceed 40 mph even outside of any
later storms. SPC Mesoscale page showing strong pressure falls over
the Show Me state.

Item 2: Supercells

Cap is holding but strong upper level forcing coupled with strong
sfc heating will bust this cap by 19-20z. Then we expect sfc based
CAPE of 500-1000 j/kg to provide rapid fire of isolated cells across
wrn counties near OWB/EVV. Current convection along Wabash River
area to build southward and this too may increase in intensity on
south side of warm front.

Kinematics show loaded gun sounding with 350-400 m2/s2 moving in in
peak afternoon especially in sunshine filled skies. Shear profiles
definitely support discrete supercells ahead of the approaching
potent cold front. SPC has gone moderate with 10% tornado hatched,
and mainly because of the 45% hatched wind area. Main threat will be
along and north and west of a Hartford to Elizabethtown to Frankfort
line. This is a classic Miller loaded gun sounding with few
tornadoes possible. Dew points are quite low but too much shear and
increasing instability.

Greatest severe weather threat still appears to arrive during the
evening with a squall line. Damaging winds will be the main threat,
but there will be opportunity for mesovortices to generate QLCS
tornadoes. Timing still appears to be early-mid evening west of
Interstate 65, and late evening to just after midnight farther east.
Uncertainty increases as we head eastward depending on the
transition from a shear-dominated QLCS to cold-pool-dominated, and
the line inevitably accelerates.

Wednesday...

Storms depart the area after midnight tonight, with temps crashing
in cold air advection. We'll be at least as far below normal on
Wednesday as we are above normal today. Wednesday is much much
colder with steep falls in 1000-850 mb thickness yielding highs in
the 40s with stratocumulus.

Wednesday night and Thursday...

Cold Canadian high pressure will dominate with clearing skies and
light winds, Thursday morning lows will generally be in the upper
20s and lower 30s, with a few sheltered valleys in the lower 20s.
Temps recover on Thursday but will remain below normal. The midnight
shift may need to consider a frost and or freeze headline for Thu
morning.

.Long Term...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 305 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

...Active weather with below normal temperatures...
...Potential for some wintry weather and hard freeze this weekend...

The extended forecast continues to show more active weather
potential for central KY and southern IN. This occurs as a couple
shortwaves aloft propagate into the OH Valley in WNW flow aloft thru
Saturday, followed by another potential system within WSW flow aloft
Sunday or Monday. There is overall reasonable agreement in forecast
models at this time, but some inherent differences given the fast
flow regime.

The first system passes by to our north Thursday night, and will
likely bring snow to the northern OH Valley/southern Great Lakes.
Southern IN should remain dry, but not out of the question a few
light rain showers could graze part of the area.

The next system close on its heals is progged to push quickly
southeast across the OH Valley. A surface cold front will push
through the area on Friday as an area of strong surface Canadian
high pressure sinks southeast into the northern Plains. As low-level
colder air filters into the lower OH Valley, models to varying
degrees show deep layer moisture increasing within a low-level
frontogenetical axis below a broad right entrance region aloft. This
could result in rain showers initially late Friday changing to snow
Friday night with some accumulation possible over central KY and
south-central IN. South-central KY would be more likely to see rain
for much of the event. While most models at least hint at this
scenario, there are definite differences in speed and moisture
content, so actual occurrence remain tenuous at this time, and
models are likely to offer slightly varying continuity with
successive model runs.

Either way, Saturday will be a quite chilly day with highs
potentially only in the lower-mid 40s, which would be nearly 20
degrees below normal. Temps Saturday morning could be in the upper
20s to lower 30s. By Sunday morning with clearing skies, our current
blended temps give lows in the mid and upper 20s, but colder
readings will be quite possible in protected valleys and low spots.
Thus, a hard freeze appears likely Sunday morning at this time (and
perhaps Saturday morning across our northern counties). All of this
would have serious agricultural implications.

Yet another system may affect our area late Sunday and/or Monday as
flow aloft becomes WSW. Right now, whatever precip falls should be
in the form of rain, although a brief onset of mixed precip/snow is
possible over southern IN based on current model solutions.

&&

.Aviation...(00Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 725 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

Unstable atmosphere leading to waves of storms expected early on in
the TAF period. Have gusty winds and brief IFR conditions expected
as these waves move through, with the cold front forecast to shift
winds west and northwest by or around midnight (LEX). Fuel-alternate
cigs are expected immediately with the frontal passage and
continuing down for several hours in the SDF/LEX corridor though
other sites should improve earlier. Gusts should come down some
during the morning Wednesday.

Expect strong winds around 40 mph with locally higher gusts out
of the west for the next several hours behind a cold front. Wind
gusts 40 to 50 mph have been observed across southwest Indiana and
west central Kentucky. This will blow around outdoor objects and
make travel difficult. Plan on the strong winds to last for a few
hours.
