AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
1011 AM EDT Fri Jul 10 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1011 AM EDT FRI JUL 10 2020

The morning surface analysis is showing a low pressure moving into
the Lower Great Lakes and northern part of the Ohio Valley. A cold
front extend south from this low into the lower Ohio Valley and is
just pushing into western Kentucky this morning. The water vapor
shows a upper shortwave trough axis swinging east and some shower
and thunderstorm activity is developing along and near the
moisture boundary aloft. In the low to mid levels, we see plenty
of moisture with PWATs in the 1.5 to 1.8 range based on the
mesoanalysis and therefore some activity is forming ahead of this
surface and upper level feature possibly along old outflow
boundaries and the terrain. Given this added PoPs in for the
morning and increase these though the afternoon, as this boundary
moves east. While these will move relatively slow, there will be
at least some eastward movement at around 15 to 20 knots compared
to the nearly stationary storms of the past week. Even so will
have to monitor storms for the heavy rain issue today.

UPDATE Issued at 732 AM EDT FRI JUL 10 2020

Made a few adjustments to PoPs for today to account for early
morning convection that has begun firing a few hours earlier than
originally forecast. A new set of zones have been created and
sent, but it does not look like the changes that were made will
alter the forecast products currently playing on the weather
radio. The updated grids have been published and sent to NDFD.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 345 AM EDT FRI JUL 10 2020

A fairly active pattern in place during the short term. A cold
front is forecast to move through the region today and tonight,
which will bring a good chance of showers and storms to eastern
Kentucky. The latest MOS guidance is not super high, but with
ample low level moisture and instability in place, decided to
continue with trend of likely PoPs for this afternoon through
early this evening. Any storms will be capable of producing
frequent cloud to ground lightning and locally heavy rainfall. The
first front will exit the area sometime late this evening. The
latest WPC frontal forecast has a second cold front moving through
the area on Saturday. However, this boundary looks to be very ill
defined. This, coupled with an eastward building ridge of high
pressure, would yield meager precip chances for Saturday. At this
time, the combination of continued instability, low level
moisture, and the possibility of the passage of a weak boundary,
warranted the inclusion of slight chance PoPs for Saturday
afternoon and early evening for eastern Kentucky. There is some
uncertainty as to just how strong the ridge will end up being on
Saturday, and the amount of low level moisture that will still be
in place across the area, therefore leading to only very low rain
chances. Temperatures will be quite warm and muggy, with highs
today forecast to max out in the upper 80s and lower 90s.
Temperatures on Saturday will still be very warm, highs in the mid
to upper 80s, but should be slightly cooler than Friday, as winds
are forecast to be predominantly from the west across the region.
A warm and muggy night is on tap for tonight, with lows expected
to only fall into the upper 60s. Locally dense valley fog is on
tap for this morning, as clear skies and calm winds are on tap.
Fog will also be a good bet for late Friday night into early
Saturday morning, as any showers and storms we get today will
leave behind ample moisture to fuel fog formation. This moisture,
coupled with partly cloudy to mostly clear skies overnight, and
very light to calm winds, should aid in fog development for
eastern Kentucky.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 444 AM EDT FRI JUL 10 2020

The models are in good agreement regarding the long wave pattern
through the period. Initially, there is more amplification seen
across the CONUS, with a seasonally strong upper level ridge
centered near the Desert Southwest, with ridging extending
northward through the Continental Divide. Meanwhile, troughing is
found across the eastern third of the nation. Through next week,
the troughing will ease up across the East, as the upper level
ridge broadens and expands east towards the Mississippi Valley,
shunting the faster zonal flow to the northern third of the CONUS.
For eastern Kentucky, this will result in somewhat cooler
temperatures and unsettled conditions for the first few days of
the extended forecast. The main weather story will then be the
heat that will build back in across the Commonwealth for the
second half of the upcoming work week.

For Saturday night, we will be post-frontal, with skies initially
mostly clear. Clouds will then build in from the west and
northwest towards dawn, with a few showers threatening, as a short
wave trough and associated surface cold front approach. PoPs will
peak in the likely category on Sunday. In general, the models
have trended a bit more amplified with this short wave, so
strong storms can not be ruled out, as some effective shear may be
coupled with decent instability. Small chance PoPs will linger
into Monday, as the parent trough axis gradually works east across
our area. Tuesday will be dry, and Wednesday mostly dry, besides
perhaps a stray storm or two across the higher terrain in far
southeastern Kentucky. By Thursday, enough low level moisture will
return to allow for a small threat of storms across most
locations during peak heating.

For temperatures, readings will start out near normal, with highs
generally in the mid 80s Sunday and Monday. The heat then kicks in
from Tuesday through Thursday, with highs successively warming
each day. By Thursday, temperatures will peak in the low to mid
90s, with maximum heat indices nearing or exceeding the century
mark.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning)
ISSUED AT 732 AM EDT FRI JUL 10 2020

VFR conditions will prevail at the TAF sites this morning, as fog
that formed overnight has remained confined to river valleys and
near bodies of water across the area. Cloud cover will be on the
increase this morning, with BKN skies expected by late morning, as
a cold front approaches. A few showers and storms have already
popped up this morning to the west of SJS. This activity is
expected to steadily increase in coverage as the sun continues
to rise. We may see scattered showers and storms by 14 or 15Z.
Once the showers and storms get going early this afternoon, any of
the TAF sites could experience MVFR or worse conditions due to
heavy rain and low level cloud cover. Gusty winds and frequent
lighting will also be of concern with any storm today. The storms
will last through out the day, but should die down quickly once
the sun begins to go down this evening.
