AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY
315 PM EDT MON JUN 24 2002

THE MAIN SYNOPTIC FEATURE AFFECTING OUR WEATHER IS THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY. DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE OVER THE AREA INTO THE WEEKEND. NOT MUCH TO FOCUS CONVECTION
BUT SHOULD SEE SCATTERED CONVECTION EACH DAY MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. PRECIPITABLE WATER OF 1.5 TO 1.9 INCHES...AND LIGHT
TROPOSPHERIC WINDS WILL RESULT IN SLOW MOVING STORMS THAT COULD
PRODUCE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. CONVECTION TODAY HAS BEEN SLOW TO
DEVELOP IN OUR CWFA AND WILL ONLY GO WITH 20-30 POPS FOR
TONIGHT...THEN INCREASE POPS FOR TUESDAY. WILL KEEP CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST INTO NEXT WEEK. DEWPOINTS
HAVE RISEN AND WILL NOT SEE THE RANGE OF LOW TEMPERATURES AS WE DID
OVER THE WEEKEND. LOWS MOSTLY 65-70 THROUGH THE WEEK. AMOUNT OF
CLOUD COVER AND CONVECTION WILL AFFECT DAILY HIGHS...WITH MOSTLY
MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S EXPECTED.

.JKL...NONE.
