648 PM CDT Wed Jun 19 2019

.UPDATE...
FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

.DISCUSSION...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are currently moving through the
Ohio River Valley with a few severe thunderstorms to our northeast
near the Mississippi River. As for the main story line of today, we
are keeping an eye on the severe weather potential for this evening.
A severe thunderstorm watch is currently in place for our
northwestern counties, primarily north of I-40 and west of I-24.
This watch is in effect until 9 PM this evening. Current surface
observations show southwesterly flow through the area and around
CAPE values around 1500 J/kg. We are still looking at potentially
two rounds of severe weather this evening with the first round
beginning between 5 PM and 7 PM with another round moving into our
northwestern counties around 8 PM to 10 PM. Our main concerns with
both rounds are damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall that could
lead to localized flooding. PWAT values remain around 1.5 to 2
inches, so rainfall amounts will need to be monitored. Luckily,
storms should be moving fairly quickly, so hopefully we will not
have any storms remain over one area for too long. As always, hail
and an isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out. Any severe
weather will move out of the area by early tomorrow morning. A few
lingering showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out for
tomorrow. Showers and thunderstorms will finally begin to move out
of the area into tomorrow afternoon and evening. All of this should
finally begin to move out of the area by early tomorrow morning.

On Friday, a very weak ridge will begin to build into the
southeastern region, leading to an increase in temps and dewpoint
temps. We could see a few scattered showers and thunderstorms
primarily in the afternoon and early evening, but the bigger story
line will be our temperatures beginning Friday and into the weekend.
Highs will creep into the 90s with dewpoint temps in the low to mid
70s. Will have to keep an eye on heat index values over the next few
days, which could creep near 100. Diurnal, afternoon thunderstorms
will remain through the weekend since there will be plenty of
moisture and energy present with our southerly flow. In addition, we
will need to keep an eye on late Saturday night, as a few models
hint at a complex system pushing down into our area. Models are
having a difficult time handling timing and strength, so will just
mention for now.

Into next week, that weak ridge will begin to break down as an upper-
level low moves through the Ohio River Valley. This will bring the
potential additional showers and thunderstorms through the area.
Highs should drop a few degrees next week though.

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

The next 12 to 16 hours will bring intermittent thunderstorms and
showers to all sites. Some storms may be strong or severe and will
bring strong winds, reduced visibilities, and low cigs to sites as
they pass by. There will be some periods of MVFR to VFR
conditions between waves of storms. Thursday will bring improving
conditions as a final wave of scattered storms sweeps through the
area and off the Plateau by early afternoon.

.OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
