Severe Thunderstorm Warning 212, NWS Louisville, KY

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Louisville KY
315 PM EDT Tue Jul 12 2022

.Short Term...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 250 PM EDT Tue Jul 12 2022

Latest surface analysis places the cold front NE-SW roughly parallel
and just south of the OH River. A line of cumulus is evident on
satellite out ahead of the front, with clear skies in its wake
across southern Indiana. A couple showers and thunderstorms have
initiated out of ahead of the front in Green, Taylor, and Boyle
counties and into JKL's CWA. Expect continued convection as the
afternoon progresses, with most of the activity occurring over the
Lake Cumberland and Bluegrass regions.

Environment in the aforementioned areas will be conducive for some
stronger storm potential, especially wind potential. Model soundings
continue to show sufficient dry air aloft with DCAPE values
approaching 1000 J/kg. Other hazards will include brief torrential
rainfall and cloud to ground lightning. SPC's Marginal Risk over
this area remains unchanged.

Expect clearing skies overnight with a chance of fog in areas that
see rainfall, with morning mins bottoming out in the 60s. High
pressure will build in across the region tomorrow with mostly sunny
skies, light NW winds, and dew points in the low 60s. Pretty
pleasant for mid July.

.Long Term...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 310 PM EDT Tue Jul 12 2022

Synopsis... Well-behaved Omega blocking pattern will experience
little change during the first couple of days as a mid-level
high/ridge persist throughout the West and north-central US while
cyclonic flow and below-normal heights in the northeast Pacific
Ocean and Northeast US flank it. On the other hand, most of the
uncertainty still resides over the Gulf of Mexico related to the
closed mid-level low and its future interaction with a midlatitude
shortwave rounding the top of the ridge. After several days
depicting a wide array of solutions, global model guidance
(including the ECMWF) depict now a much weaker low moving westward
probably being sheared off by the shortwave. The aforementioned
scenario will give credibility to the wetter weekend pattern
previously advertised by the GFS and CMC. For next week, intense
shortwave trough moving from the Pacific Northwest will displace the
ridge eastward and possibly amplify the downstream pattern as it
reinforces the trough axis over the East CONUS. However, guidance
once again split the odds as the ECMWF depicts a more zonal flow.

Thursday - Friday...Surface high pressure over the Great Lakes will
keep the weather quiet and afternoon temperatures on the high side
as maxima reach the upper 80s and probably the low 90s along the
Green River basin and urbanized cities. Nevertheless the last couple
of nights of the work week wont be as hot given mins and dewpoints
in the 60s.

Saturday - Monday...Forecast remain virtually unchanged with
rain/storm probabilities starting on Saturday and increasing on
Sunday. The shortwave vs low interaction seems to support the idea
of having precipitation these days in a row, which will certainly
help alleviate the drought-stressed vegetation, considering various
vort max waves, old frontal boundary moving northward from the
Southeast, and moisture pooling in the lower Ohio Valley.

Tuesday...Great disagreement among available guidance on whether or
not rain will continue through midweek. For now, will stay with the
NBM solution and leave rain chances in the afternoon for the east
and southeast corner of the CWA.

.Aviation...(18Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 111 PM EDT Tue Jul 12 2022

VFR conditions are expected throughout this TAF cycle. Latest
surface analysis places the cold front just south of the OH River
between SDF and FFT, with a band of cumulus along the boundary with
bases around 3kft evident on satellite. Showers and thunderstorms
are still possible this afternoon SE of a line from BWG to LEX, but
should not affect either of those sites. Winds will remain SW ahead
of the front, then veer to NW behind it. There is also a chance of
fog developing overnight, which could reduce VIS to MVFR criteria,
mainly at HNB and LEX.
