AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
652 PM EDT Tue Jul 30 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 652 PM EDT TUE JUL 30 2019

Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue early this evening.
Much of the convection in the north has weakened; however, some
convection has formed along a line in southeastern Pulaski County
through Laurel County and up into Jackson County. Currently have a
Special Weather Statement for southern Pulaski, but will continue
to monitor for any further development and potential flooding
concerns. Updated PoPs to better reflect current radar as well as
Hi-Res model trends. Expecting the activity to begin to decrease
after sunset due to the loss of daytime heating. Fog will then be
the main concern for the overnight. With current temperatures in
the north in the lower 70s as well as high dewpoints in the upper
60s to around 70 degrees, fog could develop as early as around
midnight. Sent a new ZFP to reflect these changes. Updates have
been sent to NDFD and to the web.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 420 PM EDT TUE JUL 30 2019

Scattered showers and storms continue to develop and track across
the area this afternoon, attributed to 2000-3000 J/kg of SBCAPE
and some upper level divergence with a shortwave trough crossing
the region. This activity will die out as we lose the heating
around sunset. With the mid level trough departing, we should see
a relative lull in shower activity overnight through dawn on
Wednesday. Given the rainfall today, and very moist surface
conditions as the cold front slowly stalls over the region, we
could potentially see quite a bit of fog late tonight. However,
still some uncertainty with how much clearing we will see. For now
will stick with areas of fog, but the fog could become more
widespread if we can clear out overnight. Guidance continues to
hit the fog hard tonight as it has for many days now. A fog
headline cannot be ruled out tonight if conditions materialize for
better development.

Any fog will burn off by 10 am Wednesday. A warm and moist airmass
will continue ahead of the cold front that will remain stalled
across eastern Kentucky. This will allow for shower and storm
redevelopment during the afternoon and evening hours. Best
coverage will likely be in southeast Kentucky, but an isolated
shower or storm could pop up just about anywhere. Activity will
again die off by Wednesday evening with potentially another round
of fog for Wednesday night. This fog could be more dominate in
southeast Kentucky.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
Issued at 349 PM EDT TUE JUL 30 2019

We will remain under the influence of upper level trough in the
eastern US and ridging will be the story across the western
portions of the lower 48. At the surface, a weak boundary will
linger near Appalachia or just south across the Tennessee Valley
through the weekend. Given this we will see a better shot for
showers and thunderstorms in southeastern Kentucky and this will
be more tied to diurnal heating than the boundary or any upper
level features. An upper level wave will be present and lead to
slight height falls by Sunday into Monday. This could allow for
just a bit more coverage of storms for the beginning of next week
across eastern Kentucky. Otherwise, we are looking at summertime
weather to roll, with temperatures averaging around normal for
this time of year.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 152 PM EDT TUE JUL 30 2019

A few areas of showers and storms will impact east Kentucky this
afternoon, with TAF site most likely impacted being KSYM. Activity
around the other TAF sites will be more isolated. All of these
will fade away this evening, but area of dense fog may develop
later tonight, especially where the better rainfall occurs. Any
fog will burn off by 13z Wednesday morning with isolated showers
and storms again developing Wednesday afternoon.
