NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 19, 1:00 PM EST, 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 200 PM EDT SUN AUG 19 2001 MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS POPS IN THE FIRST PERIOD. OTHERWISE... GENERALLY BENIGN CONDITIONS ARE PROJECTED. COLD FRONT CURRENTLY PUSHING THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA AS DELINEATED BY A LINE OF INTENSIFYING CONVECTION. AVN APPEARS TO BE THE ONLY MODEL TO HAVE A DECENT HANDLE ON THIS EVENT. MESOETA SHOWS NO PRECIP UNTIL LATE THIS AFTERNOON FOR OUR FAR EASTERN COUNTIES. BOTH AVN AND MESOETA LEAVE A VERY SMALL QPF AFTER 00Z FOR THAT AREA. AM INCLINED AT THIS POINT TO LEAVE POPS OUT OF ALL AREAS...BUT WILL WAIT UNTIL ZONE ISSUANCE TO DECIDE FOR SURE. MODEL TIME-HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS DEPICT VERY DRY AIR WITH GENERAL SUBSIDENCE ABOVE THE BOUNDARY LAYER FOR THE BALANCE OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE FROM UPPER LOW IS PROJECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA. A FEW CLOUDS MAY LINGER IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES INTO EARLY MONDAY. MAV AND FWC GUIDANCE TEMPS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT. WILL USE A BLEND OF THE TWO WHERE DIFFERENCES OCCUR. EXTENDED...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS GENERALLY AGREE THAT UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE PERIOD. SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS INTRODUCE UNCERTAINTY LATER IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. MRF SUGGESTS THAT CONVECTION AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE SOUTHEASTERN RIDGE WILL TRACK VERY NEAR EASTERN KENTUCKY. THE CANADIAN GEM PROJECTS THAT THESE FEATURES WILL TRACK MUCH FARTHER NORTH. BASED ON THE GENERAL PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER RIDGE BY THE MODELS...TEND TO FAVOR THE CANADIAN GEM AND WILL KEEP FAR EXTENDED DRY AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER BASED ON THE MOST RECENT AVN RUN...AM RELUCTANT TO REMOVE MENTION OF PRECIP ON WEDNESDAY. TEMPS WILL GENERALLY BE ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. .JKL...NONE. LCM
