NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 3, 2:53 PM EST, 3 hours 32 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 353 PM EDT TUE JUL 3 2001 MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM CENTERS AROUND POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION UP UNTIL THE EXTENDED PERIODS. ONE WEAKENING MCS IS ABOUT TO ENTER NORTHERN KY FROM THE NORTHWEST...WHILE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT HAS BEGUN WESTWARD IN SOUTHERN IN AND SOUTHERN IL. THUS FAR THE LESS ORGANIZED SCATTERED CONVECTION HAS REMAINED TO OUR SOUTH. OUR ATMOSPHERE IS CERTAINLY UNSTABLE WITH LIFTED INDICES IN THE RANGE OF -4 TO -7. IF THE CAP DOES NOT BREAK DUE TO TERRAIN INFLUENCES EARLY THIS EVENING OR DUE TO WEAKENING MCS MOVING INTO THE AREA. THERE IS STILL A THREAT OF AN MCS DURING THE NIGHT (AS SHOWN BY THE MESO ETA). AM NOT COMFORTABLE UNDERCUTTING GUIDANCE POPS...WHICH ARE IN THE LIKELY CATEGORY FOR MOST OF THE AREA IN BOTH SETS OF MOS. ON WEDNESDAY...THE ETA SHOWS AN MCS EXITING THE AREA AT 12Z AND DOES NOT GENERATE ANY MORE PRECIP BEFORE 00Z. HOWEVER..ALL THREE MODELS (INCLUDING THE ETA) INDICATE INSTABILITY AND A FAVORABLE POSITION UNDER THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER JET. BOTH SETS OF MOS GUIDANCE SHOW LIKELY POPS...AND WILL STICK WITH THE LIKELY POPS ALREADY IN ZFPJKL. UPPER JET SUPPORT WANES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THE SURFACE COLD FRONT IS NOW NOT EXPECTED TO PASS UNTIL THURSDAY...SO WILL GO WITH JUST CHANCE POPS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. CHANCE POPS CONTINUE ON THURSDAY AS THE COLD FRONT SINKS SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA. NGM MOS TEMPS LOOK TOO WARM ON WEDNESDAY...PROBABLY BECAUSE OF LOWER LOW LEVEL DEW POINTS IN THE NGM ALLOWING MORE WARMING BEFORE CONVECTION DEVELOPS. WILL GO CLOSER TO AVN MAV TEMPS. OTHERWISE... THE GUIDANCE TEMPS ARE FAIRLY CLOSE AND LOOK REASONABLE. .JKL...NONE. HAL
