.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...
THE CENTER OF KATRINA WAS LOCATED OVER WESTERN KY THIS AFTERNOON AND
A LARGE AREA OF RAIN OR SHOWERS...SOME HEAVY AT TIMES COVERED MUCH
OF THE FORECAST AREA. GFS IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE TODAY. THIS
INDICATES THE CENTER OF THE REMNANTS OF KATRINA WILL MOVE NE TO THE
TRI-STATE AREA THIS EVENING AND THEN CONTINUE NE ALONG A TRACK CLOSE
TO THE I-71 CORRIDOR. BY WEDNESDAY MORNING THE CENTER OF THE
REMNANTS SHOULD BE ENTERING WESTERN NY. THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH 06Z AND THEN TAPER OFF FROM SW TO NE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. WILL CONTINUE THE FLOOD WATCHES IN THE SOUTH TILL
ABOUT 10Z WEDNESDAY AND ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF FORECAST AREA
UNTIL ABOUT 16Z WEDNESDAY. SE PART OF CWA HAS BEST POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING. BY 00Z THURSDAY...KATRINA WILL BE WELL
TO OUR NE AND THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE DRY. A WEAK BOUNDARY MAY
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY BUT DO NOT EXPECT ENOUGH DYNAMICS OR
MOISTURE TO RESULT IN PRECIPITATION. SO...DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH REMAINDER OF SHORT TERM. WILL CONTINUE WITH
CURRENT TEMPERATURE TRENDS WHICH ARE CLOSE TO MAV.
&&
.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
FOR FRIDAY...A WEAK BNDRY MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...GFS TIME
HEIGHT PROFILES SHOW LITTLE MOISTURE...SO WILL KEEP FRIDAY DRY. THE
REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED LOOKS DRY AS WELL AT THIS POINT...AS HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES OVER...AND THEN MOVES EAST OF THE REGION THROUGH
TUESDAY.
LOOKING AT MODEL AND HPC GUIDANCE...HIGH AND LOW TEMPS WILL
GENERALLY BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD.

.AVIATION (18Z-18Z)...
REMNANTS OF HURRICANE KATRINA WAS NEAR KBWG WITH ITS ASSOCIATED
PRECIP SHIELD OVER ALL TAF SITES BUT KCMH AND KLCK. THIS WILL NOT BE
THE CASE FOR LONG AS IT KILN RADAR SHOWING PRECIP WILL FILL IN OVER
KCMH AND KLCK. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WARM FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL
KENTUCKY. THIS FRONT SHOULD NOT MAKE IT UP INTO TAF SITES AS KATRINA
