...Updated Forecast and Aviation Discussion...

.Forecast Update...
Issued at 740 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2019

Will be clearing some counties from the watch as the main line
pushes through the region. We could see some redevelopment of storms
behind it, but they likely would be elevated. Seeing good progress
of the merger of the two lines of storms as they move into our BWG
counties. Line closer to SDF does not look as intense, again as it
moves into the drier surface air. Latest RAP mesoanalysis shows the
instability gradient right along the line where our downstream watch
box is.

Issued at 620 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2019

Northern side of the storm line is fairly healthy, despite moving
into a less favorable environment. Decided to go ahead and expand
the watch eastward, and with plenty of instability still to work
through in southern KY, expect a better chance of severe weather all
the way to the Lake Cumberland region this evening. Do have an odd
shaped eastern extent, mostly because of the geography of the
counties.

Issued at 420 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2019

Seeing the north/south oriented part of the line entering the Wabash
now start to weaken with regard to lightning and cloud tops and a
lack of wind/wind damage reports. The southern part of that line is
becoming more robust however, with cellular activity showing some
much colder cloud tops on latest IR imagery. Will follow this part
of the line downstream into our forecast area and after coordination
with SPC decided on a watch. Kept the Louisville metro out of this
watch...given that weakening line.

A second MCS is moving in from southeast MO and we will have to
watch to see how that interacts with the first line. Models have
been pegging that part of the line to stay stronger farther into our
area later this evening, but expect the first wave to stabilize the
lower levels. We can readjust the watch area later as we see how
that interaction plays out.

&&

.Short Term...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 315 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2019

...Strong to Severe Storms Likely This Evening Through Tonight...

A complicated forecast is in store for the short term. Regional
radars and GOES-satellite reveal two distinct MCSs across central IL
and central MO at this hour. These MCSs are riding along a warm
front and instability gradient which is beginning to advect into our
region. These MCSs should continue to follow along the front and
begin to take a dive to the southeast here soon.

The latest high-res models have not handled the MCS in central IL
very well. Most have had it weakening significantly as it progresses
eastward, however, it has managed to maintain itself longer than
what they predicted. It is noteworthy that over the last 30-60
minutes, cloud tops have started to warm, lightning activity has
decreased, and radar imagery doesn't look as impressive compared to
earlier in the day. Additionally, appears the severe potential with
the MCS has been at a minimum over the last hour, as observations in
the path of it have generally reported sub-severe winds. This may be
due to a frontal inversion that has kept the strongest winds from
mixing down to the surface. As this MCS approaches our region, the
northern portion of the MCS should remain sub-severe, though it's
tough to say whether or not southern portions of the line will be
capable of sporadic severe winds when it arrives since theoretically
there should be less CIN in those areas with it being in close
proximity to the warm front. Based on some rough timing estimates,
think this line will begin entering our CWA (Dubois County, IN)
around 21z, and then arriving to the Louisville/Bowing Green Metro
areas around 22z-00z, and then arriving to the Lexington metro area
by 00z-02z, if it holds together.

The second MCS over MO is the one more likely to produce our severe
weather based on the latest high-res guidance. This second MCS will
be on the heels of the first, so we may see a slight break in the
action, but it should quickly fill in. The warm front/instability
gradient will continue to advect eastward into our region out ahead
of the second MCS, which will aid in destabilizing the atmosphere
even more. The big caveat to severe weather potential in our region
is if the first MCS slows the advancement of the warm front and
stabilizes the atmosphere ahead of the second MCS. Given that most
guidance weakens the first MCS in central IL significantly and does
not have it impacting our region, they result in a more unstable
atmosphere ahead of the second MCS in MO, so they may not have the
best portrayal of environmental conditions. Still, given the
consistency in guidance to destabilize things quickly ahead of the
second MCS, and a 30-40kt LLJ pumping in moisture/higher theta-E air
from the southwest, will continue to advertise likely severe weather
across the region, with the highest chances generally along and west
of the I-65 corridor. Damaging straight line winds will be the most
likely threat with the line, though brief isolated tornadoes will be
possible within bowing segments and embedded mesovortices.

The potential for yet another MCS (#3) could occur after midnight,
bringing additional showers/storms and potential severe weather. We
may finally start to dry out late tomorrow morning into the
afternoon. Confidence in this third MCS remains low, but is
something to watch. Given that our area will experience multiple
rounds of heavy rainfall, and most area creeks/rivers/streams are
still running high, will go ahead and put out a flash flood watch
for much of southern Indiana and central Kentucky. This watch will
run through tomorrow morning, but it may need to be expanded in time
through the weekend if confidence increases in additional rounds of
rain.

.Long Term...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 325 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2019

Saturday Night - Monday...

An active weather pattern looks to continue through early next week.
Saturday night a weak sfc boundary over the area combined with upper
level shortwave activity and plenty of instability will provide
focus for showers and storms.  Strong storms are possible Sat
evening before the environment becomes more elevated later Sat
night into Sun morning.

After a morning storm complex on Sun, we should see a break in
convection for a large chunk of the day with an upper level ridge
axis passing through. However, plenty of instability is expected to
build Sun afternoon and could kick off scattered showers and storms
especially along any left over boundaries from morning storms.
Scattered showers and storms will likely continue into Sun night.

Monday an upper level trough and cold front will approach the
region.  This should bring a better chance for showers and storms
and possibly a more organized threat for some of those to be strong
to severe with bulk shear values of 25-35 kts and CAPE values of
1500-2500 j/kg.  The cold front passage is expected Mon evening.

Temperatures will be in the 80s for highs Sun/Mon with Sun being the
hotter day under the upper level ridge. Low temps should range
through the upper 60s to low 70s.

Tuesday - Friday...

A few showers/storms may linger over east central KY on Tues before
the area goes dry.  A period of mainly dry weather is expected Tues-
Fri as upper level ridging builds in over the southern U.S.  A few
small chances for diurnally driven storms may exist during the
afternoon/evening hours each day next week, but mainly dry weather
is anticipated. A slow warm up is expected with temps starting in
the mid 80s for highs on Tues and increasing to the upper 80s to
around 90 for highs by the end of the work week.

&&

.Aviation...(00Z TAF Issuance)
Updated at 735 PM EDT Fri Jun 21 2019

Line of storms approaching SDF/BWG this hour. Will see gusty winds
at both terminals as those storms move through. Thunder will last an
hour or two behind this line as it continues heading southeast. Will
watch for redevelopment overnight, but confidence in individual
locations is fairly low. Will have a longer period of vicinity
showers and probably some brief periods of thunder into the morning
hours as a low-level jet tries to establish itself.
