AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
127 AM EST Tue Jan 26 2021

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1248 AM EST TUE JAN 26 2021

The main area of precip is winding down a little bit faster than
was expected, and the latest model runs support this. the forecast
has been updated to reflect the trend.

UPDATE Issued at 907 PM EST MON JAN 25 2021

Showers and thunderstorms continue to move rapidly eastward across
the region, and the forecast still has this covered. Have adjusted
temperatures through Tuesday morning based on obs and latest model
guidance, but the changes are rather minor. Readings are expected
to be nearly steady in our southern counties tonight, and rising
in the north.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 541 PM EST MON JAN 25 2021

Surface low pressure over the Ozarks will shift eastward through
the overnight, riding up the Ohio River Valley. This slow moving
system will lift a warm front northward through eastern Kentucky
during the overnight period and then a cold front through the area
by Thursday morning.

WPC maintained an area of a marginal threat of excessive
rainfall for the Commonwealth through tonight. Additional
convection is firing upstream and short term high resolution
models show that activity riding northeast into and through our
area during the overnight. SPC mesoanalysis shows an upstream
environment of 250-500 J/kg MUCAPE and effective shear of 35-60
kts. RAP forecasts show this environment lifting northeast into
our area and SPC HREF suggests that mean 250-500 MUCAPE and shear
will lift into eastern Kentucky over the next several hours. Thus
maintained thunder through the evening as yet another round of
precipitation pushes through the region. Already seeing a few
stronger cells being highlighted by upstream WFOs. So an isolated
strong storm with mainly gusty winds can not be completely ruled
out. Brief, locally heavy rainfall will also be possible. Excessive
runoff will cause local streams and rivers to swell through the
day Tuesday. The current HWO has this handled.

Once we get through tonight, sensible weather settles down
considerably. Tomorrow, dry weather and sunshine will lift
temperatures to around 60 across the south, and in the 50s across
our north, where lingering clouds will help keep temps slightly
cooler.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 541 PM EST MON JAN 25 2021

We begin the extended portion of the forecast Wednesday in a brief
period of modest ridging aloft across the eastern Ohio Valley. Just
to our west, a shortwave trough rides over the Middle Mississippi
Valley. Ridging across the Rockies and western Plains separates this
shortwave trough from a deeper trough of the northwestern US coast.
The system at the surface that is currently bringing the widespread
rainfall in the near term will have moved well off to our east at
this point. Meanwhile, another area of low pressure will be
beginning to develop in the deep south.

The shortwave trough to our west will beginning to move over our
area through the day Wednesday, while the surface low will continue
to travel east and northeast across the Southeast, sending precip
towards our area. Generally, precip is set to begin impacting the
area not too long after 18z Wednesday afternoon. Most guidance is in
fair agreement over the pattern evolution, other than the Canadian
keeping the shortwave further to the west a little longer,
consequently delaying the initial onset of precipitation. However,
given that this solution is not as favored in ensembles, have
elected to put less stock in it. With the surface low passing to our
south, our area is kept in the cooler sector, allowing for some snow
to mix its way in. Generally this change over will happen as a
gradual transition from northwest to southeast, with the exception
of the higher terrain generally transitioning earlier. Accumulations
look to be modest, generally less than an inch, though higher
amounts are possible in the higher terrain.

Generally the precip will exit out to the east by Thursday morning
as the surface low pushes east off the coast. Heights aloft will be
on the rise through the day as ridging moves in from the west, while
high pressure dominates at the surface. All combined, conditions
will stay clear and dry through the first part of the weekend.
However, the dry weather does not last. Another upper level trough
will work its way towards the region over the second half of the
weekend, supporting the development of a low at the surface over the
Plains. This sends along our next round of precip, generally
beginning Saturday afternoon. However, while there is more agreement
over the general pattern, the specifics around the evolution of both
the features aloft and at the surface are still not well resolved.
So, have kept more in line with the thinking of the previous
forecaster and kept the PoPs constrained to just likely given all
the uncertainty.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
ISSUED AT 127 AM EST TUE JAN 26 2021

Rain is currently exiting east of the TAF sites at 6Z, though
some scattered showers may remain in place over the next few
hours, so kept VCSH in at most sites. Despite winds becoming more
light and variable at the surface, a W to SW llvl jet will
develop aloft, leading to some llvl wind shear concerns throughout
much of the overnight. This will finally cease as winds begin
mixing down to the surface a bit more during the daytime hours
today. Predominate SW to W winds could gust between 15 and 20 kts
during the afternoon hours. MVFR CIGS are in place to our west,
across central KY, so kept MVFR or worse CIGS in place throughout
the rest of the overnight based on the latest guidance. CIGS will
begin lifting during the morning hours, with skies clearing
briefly ahead of another approaching system. VFR conditions are
then on tap for much of the daytime hours. Clouds will begin to
build back in and lower overnight, with some TAF sites likely
seeing MVFR conditions again before the end of the TAf period.
