What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm watch went out at Feb 12, 2:08 PM EST, 1 hour 36 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 2:08 PM EST, 1 hour 36 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Jackson KY 208 PM EST Fri Feb 12 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 102 PM EST FRI FEB 12 2021 With complete overcast, temps have been slow to warm. Clouds have broken up over far northern KY, but its questionable how far southeast this can progress. Raw model data in forecast soundings would suggest little if any sun this afternoon. Have trimmed back the forecast highs for today. UPDATE Issued at 1019 AM EST FRI FEB 12 2021 Based on radar returns, freezing drizzle has just about ended, and the WSW was allowed to expire. Otherwise, latest obs were blended into the forecast with little change. UPDATE Issued at 808 AM EST FRI FEB 12 2021 Going forecast remains largely on track. Freezing drizzle has resulted in a thin glaze of very slippery ice this morning at the office. Suspect that this is also the case further to the east where the radar echoes and dense fog have been more widespread. The freezing drizzle should largely exit to the east over the next hour or so. Otherwise, freshened the grids with the latest obs. Grids have been sent and published. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday) Issued at 525 AM EST FRI FEB 12 2021 At 10z, quasi-zonal flow continued at the upper levels while a weak mid-level shortwave trough was noted over the Ohio Valley. The surface map showed an inverted trough extending from south Georgia northward along the spine of the Central Appalachians. Local observations are showing temperatures generally between 25 and 30 degrees. A few spots on the Bluegrass are a degree or two cooler. These sub-freezing temperatures combined with lingering moisture from yesterday's ice storm has led to black ice in many locations. However, there are a couple of exceptions where temperatures have remained near or above freezing, namely Black Mountain and the upper Cumberland River Valley. Harlan and Middlesboro have been reporting temperatures at or just above freezing all night. Black Mountain actually is the the warmest location in eastern Kentucky with a balmy 36 degrees -- evidence of an lingering warm nose over eastern Kentucky. Additionally, saturated conditions are being observed over most of the southeastern half of the forecast area. This is leading to locally dense freezing fog, especially over the higher elevations, as per KPBX AWOS and at the KY-119 KYTC webcam. This thick fog is occurring under subtle WAA ahead of the aforementioned mid-level wave. This wave is also leading to some freezing drizzle, as evidenced by low dBZ radar echoes that have developed on the KJKL radar over the last couple of hours. Through the mid-morning hours, the most widespread freezing drizzle and freezing fog is expected to occur from Elliot to Letcher Counties and eastward. Within this activity, a light glazing is probable on untreated surfaces, thus warranting a Winter Weather Advisory through 10 AM. Further to the west, a an SPS is in effect for black ice and perhaps spotty glazing from patchy freezing drizzle and freezing fog. In Bell and Harlan Counties, any impacts are expected to mainly occur along the below freezing ridge tops and mid-slopes from around 2,000 feet up to around 3,500 feet. The freezing drizzle and fog will gradually diminish and dissipate as the shortwave trough departs. However continued low-level northerly flow and trapped moisture beneath the inversion aloft will likely keep eastern Kentucky under a low overcast through the day. The clouds will keep temperatures suppressed, generally ranging from around freezing over the Bluegrass to the upper 30s in the upper Cumberland Valley. The next wave will pass over the Southeast US late tonight and Saturday, brushing eastern Kentucky with some light precipitation. Once again, the warm nose aloft will keep the precipitation in liquid form; but, sub-freezing low-level air and surface temperatures north and west of Pine Mountain will cause that rain to freeze on contact late Friday night and Saturday morning. Fortunately, vertical lifting will be mediocre, keeping rates light and any ice accretions to few hundredths of an inch or less. Tonight's temperatures will be similar to last night, generally mid 20s over the Bluegrass to the lower or mid 30s in the upper Cumberland River Valley. Saturday's highs will be a slightly warmer than today, ranging from 32-42, warmest along the Virginia border. .LONG TERM...(After midnight Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 600 AM EST FRI FEB 12 2021 The period is expected to begin with southwest flow from the southern Plains to the OH Valley between an upper level high pressure centered over portions of the western Atlantic and an upper level trough extending into the Four Corners/southwestern Conus. A couple of lead shortwaves are expected at that point, one working across the TN Valley and portions of the southeast, another rotating around an upper low in Ontario passing north of the OH Valley across the Great Lakes, a third moving across the southern Plains/Rio Grande Valley and one or more dropping southeast through the trough over the western Conus. At the surface, a wavy frontal zone is initially expected to extend off the coast of the Carolinas, across southern GA/northern FL, and then into the Gulf of Mexico. Also, at the start of the period, an inverted trough is expected to extending north west of the Appalachians and into East KY from a sfc wave in the Gulf of Mexico. Saturday night to Sunday night, southwest flow aloft will continue across the area and much of the southern and eastern Conus. The initial shortwave working across the TN Valley and the southeast should move east of the area Saturday night with the associated sfc inverted trough also moving east of East KY and dissipating. Meanwhile, as the shortwave trough initially over the Rio Grande and southern Plains moves into the Gulf of Mexico and the southeast, a sfc low is expected to move into the northeast Gulf of Mexico Sunday into Sunday night. At the same time, the upper level low will move slowly east across portions of Ontario while the shortwave over the western Conus enters the Plains. This should lead to another sfc wave developing further west along the frontal zone in the western Gulf of Mexico just to the southeast of the southern Texas coast. Monday into Tuesday, the upper level trough will move east across the Plains and reach the MS Valley late Monday and into the eastern Conus Monday evening, crossing the Lower OH Valley Monday evening into Monday night. This will leave a broad trough extending south through the Plains/Central Conus on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the sfc low will move rather quickly from Gulf northeast into the Appalachians during the Monday to Monday night period. This sfc low pressure system will move east of the area on Tuesday. A southwest flow pattern will persist from Tuesday night through the end of the period as additional shortwaves moving around an eastern Pacific ridge and into the trough should lead to the trough again sharpening up from the northern Plains to the southern Rockies/ southern Plains Tuesday night into Wednesday with the upper trough slowly approaching the area through the end of the period. Yet another sfc low pressure system should develop over south TX or the western Gulf of Mexico along a frontal zone and track toward the lower OH Valley and Appalachians. The progression of multiple weak systems and marginal thermal profile if not a warm nose aloft, will lead to chances for light wintry precipitation possible Saturday evening into Saturday night with forecast soundings and thermal profiles favoring small chances for freezing rain or rain. As the wave of low pressure begins to take shape in the western Gulf of Mexico and the next shortwave in southwest flow approaches, wintry precipitation chances will increase Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening. Sfc high pressure centered northwest of the area should usher in cold air at the low levels for Sunday night, but warm advection should result in a warm nose across most of if not all of the area. Far northwestern areas this will result in chances for some snow or sleet initially along or northwest of I 64 with freezing rain or sleet or a mixture of these further south. With the warm nose strengthening further on Monday across the central and southeastern counties, freezing rain chance will continue and some southeastern locations nearer to the VA border could mix with or even change to rain for a while on Monday afternoon/evening. However, as the upper trough approaches, cooling aloft should work southeast across the area, leading to an eventual change of the wintry mix to some snow. Any lingering snow should end on Tuesday. As it stands now, significant wintry precipitation accumulations are possible with this system across portions of if not all of East KY. Snowfall should generally be greatest in the north with larger ice accumulations possible over the central to southern counties. However, uncertainty remains and significant ice accumulations appear possible across the entire area. A brief respite in the wintry precipitation chances is anticipated from later Tuesday through about midday Wednesday as high pressure briefly builds across the area. However, the next system will bring chances for significant precipitation, with wintry precipitation affecting at least portions of the area, before potentially changing to all rain on Thursday areawide. Some of the GFS runs and the 12Z ECMWF from yesterday as well as the NBM have heavy QPF with this system so this threat an any associated chance for flooding will have to be monitored as well. Temperatures through the period will average below normal, but a warming trend is expected Wednesday into Thursday. Temperatures through the period should have a northwest to southeast gradient. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon) ISSUED AT 208 PM EST FRI FEB 12 2021 Area conditions were mostly IFR at the start of the period, with some pockets of MVFR. MVFR is forecast to become more prevalent during the afternoon, but it won't last. Conditions are expected to drop to IFR or worse by 06Z and remain there through the end of the period. As conditions worsen tonight, areas of freezing drizzle and drizzle will develop and also persist through the end of the period. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
