NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Dec 8, 5:35 PM EST, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 535 PM EST THU DEC 8 2005 .DISCUSSION... AREAS GENERALLY NORTH OF THE HAL ROGERS PARKWAY REALIZED A WINTRY MIX OF FREEZING RAIN...SLEET...RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. MOST AREAS WHICH SAW THE WINTRY MIX SAW SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OF ICE ON THE TREES AND EXPOSED OBJECTS. OTHER AREAS SAW ONLY RAIN. MORNING MODEL RUNS INDICATED THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO LOWS...ONE OVER THE MIDWEST AND THE OTHER OVER THE TN VALLEY. MODELS TRENDED STRONGER WITH THE NORTHERN LOW...RESULTING IN OVERALL LOWER SNOWFALL TOTALS FOR THIS EVENT. THIS WAS MAINLY DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG 60 TO 70 KT 850H LLJ BRINGING IN A RAPID SHOT OF MUCH WARMER AIR...ALONG WITH A RAPID CUT OFF IN MOISTURE LATE THIS EVENING. HAD NOT SEEN THIS FEATURE COMING TOGETHER BY AFTERNOON ISSUANCE...AND CONSEQUENTLY STAYED WITH THE ORIGINAL WINTER STORM WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES...BASICALLY KEEPING HIGHER SNOWFALL TOTALS. HOWEVER...CURRENTLY THE JKL VAD WIND PROFILE IS FINALLY SHOWING SIGNS OF THE 60 TO 70 KT 850H LLJ THAT THE MODELS HAD BEEN ADVERTISING. NOW THAT THIS FEATURE HAS SHOWN UP...FEEL THIS WILL ULTIMATELY BRING IN WARMER AIR AND MAY CUT DOWN ON THE OVERALL SNOW FALL TOTALS FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY OVERNIGHT. ISC GRIDS...POPS AND TEMPS LOOKED EXCELLENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AND MADE ONLY A FEW TWEAKS HERE AND THERE. BROUGHT WINDS DOWN JUST A BIT BASED ON CURRENT OBS...HIGHER WIND SPEEDS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MIX DOWN. COLD FRONT PROGGED TO HIT THE AREA SUNDAY IS TRENDING FASTER ON THE GFS. HOWEVER...DID NOT BUY INTO THIS AS IT IS MORE TYPICAL TO SEE A SLOWER TREND. THEREFORE...LEFT CURRENT TIMING AND POPS ALONE UNTIL THE ANOTHER RUN OR TWO. && .PREV DISCUSSION... DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE IS DRAWING PLENTY OF MOISTURE INTO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS MORNING. EASTERN KENTUCKY HAS BEEN SPARED THE INITIAL BANDS OF PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER...FURTHER DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED AS RADAR TRENDS SHOW AREA OF PRECIPITATION BEGINNING TO MAKE A PUSH FURTHER EASTWARD. SEVERAL BANDS OF PRECIPITATION HAVE BEEN SKIRTING THE WESTERN BORDER OF OUR CWA FOR MUCH OF THE MORNING. HOWEVER...WITH VERY DRY AIR IN PLACE EXPECT AT MOST A FEW DROPS OR FLAKES TO HAVE MADE IT TO THE SURFACE. THIS WILL CHANGE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS LOWER ATMOSPHERIC LAYERS BECOME MORE SATURATED. EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO BEGIN IN EARNEST SOMETIME AROUND NOON TO MID AFTERNOON ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...AND FOR THE PRECIPITATION TO SHIFT EASTWARD. LOOKING AT THE 12Z NAM...A VERY STRONG 850 JET WILL SUDDENLY PUMP QUITE A BIT OF WARM AIR INTO THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. CONSIDERING CURRENT SFC OBS...EXPECT MUCH OF EASTERN KENTUCKY TO CLIMB ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK AT LEAST FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THIS AFTERNOON. PROBLEM OF THE DAY IS HOW WILL THIS EVOLVE. BEST GUESS IS THAT NORTHERN AREAS...AND PARTICULARLY VALLEY LOCATIONS WILL SEE THE PRECIP START AS FREEZING RAIN...WITH A BRIEF SWITCH OVER TO RAIN POSSIBLY BY LATE AFTERNOON. THEREAFTER...PRECIP WILL CHANGE QUICKLY BACK TO SNOW BY THIS EVENING. FOR THE REST OF THE CWA...GENERALLY SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY AND WEST OF THE INTERSTATE 75 CORRIDOR EXPECT PRECIP TO FALL AS MAINLY RAIN UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. AGAIN...THE EXCEPTION MAY BE SOME OF MORE SHELTERED VALLEYS WHERE SOME COLD AIR POOLING MAY SET THE STAGE FOR SOME FREEZING RAIN. UPDATE THIS MORNING WILL MAINLY BE TO REMOVE MORNING AND AFTERNOON WORDING...AND TO FINE TUNE THE ZONE WORDING TO REFLECT LATEST THOUGHTS ON TIMING OF PRECIP AND TYPE. UPDATED ZONES...ETC. OUT SOON. 525 AM EST THU DEC 8 2005 09Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS COLD ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE...1040 MB...TO THE NORTHEAST OF KENTUCKY WHILE THE STRENGTHENING INVERTED TROUGH/LOW WAS MOVING EAST THROUGH THE DEEP SOUTH AND WESTERN TENNESSEE VALLEY. ON SATELLITE...A BAND OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS HAVE OVERSPREAD EAST KENTUCKY...LIKELY CAPPING OUR PRE DAWN TEMPERATURE FALL...BUT NOT BEFORE MANY OF THE VALLEYS MADE IT INTO THE UPPER TEENS. THE MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT ALOFT AS THEY TAKE A STRONG CLOSED SHORTWAVE TROUGH THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT...DEEPENING IT SLIGHTLY DURING THE PROCESS. IN THE WAKE OF THIS THE MODELS BECOME MORE DISCORDANT WITH THE NAM TAKING A FAIRLY STRONG WAVE THROUGH KENTUCKY FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE THE GFS TRAILS BEHIND BY NEARLY 12 HOURS. AM FAVORING THE GFS HERE...HOWEVER...WITH THE ATMOSPHERE SO DRY IN THE WAKE OF THE WINTER STORM THE ACTUALLY EFFECTS OF THE DIFFERENCE IS NEGLIGIBLE. ADDITIONAL ENERGY DROPS INTO THE REGION TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEKEND AS THE EASTERN TROUGH REESTABLISHES ITS POSITION OVER QUEBEC AND THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE ALL THE MAKINGS OF A COMPLICATED WINTER STORM. THE INVERTED TROUGH WILL DEVELOP INTO A RELATIVELY...BASED ON IT POSITIONING BETWEEN TWO STRONG HIGHS...STRONG SFC LOW AS IT MOVES THROUGH CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A STRENGTHENING JET AT 300 MB AND A LOW LEVEL ONE AT 850 MB. THESE FEATURES WILL HELP GENERATE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF LIFT FOR EAST KENTUCKY THAT WILL BE ABLE TO TAP INTO A STREAM OF MOISTURE BEING SWEPT NORTH FROM THE GULF COAST. TO FURTHER COMPLICATE MATTERS...THIS SURGE AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL BRING WITH IT A POCKET OF WARMER AIR THAT EXTENDS TO NEAR 700 MB. AS A RESULT THE MODELS PLACE EAST KENTUCKY RIGHT IN THE TRANSITION ZONE FROM SNOW TO RAIN. WHILE THE NAM IS DEMONSTRATING IMPRESSIVE DYNAMICS WITH THIS LOW...THE GFS IS COLDER IN THE LOWER LAYERS. THESE DIFFERENCES RESULT IN MODEL DISAGREEMENT OVER THE CWA WITH RESPECT TO PRECIPITATION TYPE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE SNOW AMOUNTS. HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE NAM/S IDEA OF THE STRONGER DYNAMICS WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE GFS LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURE STRUCTURE FOR EAST KENTUCKY. THE RESULT OF THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD OF WINTER STORM EFFECTS THROUGHOUT THE CWA RANGING FROM THE ALL SNOW POSSIBILITY OF 8 INCHES ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST TO THE FAR SOUTHEAST WHERE THEY WILL LIKELY SEE MAINLY RAIN ASIDE FROM A COUPLE OF HOURS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW THIS EVENING. HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE EVENING SHIFT/S CONSTRUCT OF THE WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES. LATEST THOUGHTS HAVE THE INITIAL ONSET OF THE PCPN TAKING PLACE LATER IN THE DAY ALLOWING FOR THE COLD AIR TO BE EFFICIENTLY SCOURED FROM THE VALLEYS ACROSS THE CWA...LIMITING THE ZR THREAT WITH MAINLY RAIN EXPECTED FOR THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE DYNAMIC SUPPORT SHOULD ALLOW AN EARLIER TRANSITION BACK TO SNOW THAN IS REPRESENTED BY THE NAM. HEAVY WET SNOW WILL BE A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY FOR SEVERAL HOURS TONIGHT THANKS TO AN ISOTHERMAL SOUNDING AND PLENTY OF LIFT. HAVE HIT THIS TIME PERIOD HARDEST IN THE GRIDS...ZONES AND WSW. THE WORST OF THE SNOW SHOULD WIND DOWN SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER ACROSS THE NORTHEAST INTO FRIDAY BEFORE THE UPSLOPE FLOW SLACKENS. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST FEATURES A CHILLY DAY AND NIGHT FRIDAY...A BRIEF WARMUP ON SATURDAY BEFORE THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM SWINGS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WITH A THREAT OF RAIN OR SNOW OVER EAST KENTUCKY SUNDAY. UNSETTLED AND MUCH COOLER THAN NORMAL WEATHER WILL BE THE RULE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER LOW SETTLES INTO PLACE JUST NORTHEAST OF KENTUCKY WITH THE OCCASIONAL MOISTURE CHALLENGED SHORTWAVE ROLLING THROUGH THE REGION. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE NEXT 36 HOURS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE SFC LOW AS WELL AS MICRO-PHYSICS OF THE PRECIPITATION AND ANY DYNAMIC/EVAPORATIVE COOLING THAT TAKES PLACE WITH IT. IN GENERAL...HAVE YIELDED TO THE NAM12/S SOLUTION BUT TEMPERED IT FOR MORE COOLING WITH THE PCPN IN THE NORTHWEST. MY FORECAST HIGHS TODAY ENDED UP LOOKING CLOSEST TO THE MAV. DID ALSO HAND ADJUST THE HOURLY TEMPERATURE CURVE IN THE GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME COOLING AS THE HEAVIER PCPN HITS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. FOR TONIGHT LEANED TOWARD THE COOLER MAV NUMBERS WHICH WERE ACTUALLY RATHER CLOSE TO THE RAW NAM12 MIN TEMP GRID. USED A MODIFIED NAM12 GRID FOR HIGHS FRIDAY. FRIDAY NIGHT...FOLLOWED THE FWC LEAD AND OPENED UP A SMALL RIDGE TO VALLEY TEMPERATURE SPLIT ALSO KEEPING IN MIND THE LIKELIHOOD OF SOME SNOW ON THE GROUND ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA. MILDER AIR SHOULD BEGIN TO RETURN TO THE BLUEGRASS STATE SATURDAY WITH HIGHS FROM THE MET LOOKING REASONABLE. MY POP GRIDS ENDED UP MOST RESEMBLING THE MET NUMBERS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. FOR THE IFPS/GFE GRIDS...RETURNED TO MY USUAL POPULATION PROCEDURE OF WINDS AND DEWPOINTS FROM THE NAM12. GAVE THE WINDS A BIT MORE OF A DIURNAL TREND EARLY ON...BUT THEY LOOKED PRETTY GOOD DURING THE STORM. SINCE...I DID NOT ENTIRELY BUY THE WARM SURGE OF THE NAM... HAD TO ADJUST THE DEWPOINTS DOWNWARD LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ...AT LEAST AS COOL AS THE TEMP GRIDS. THE REST OF THE FORECAST WAS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE WITH JUST SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE POP PATTERN TODAY AND TONIGHT. FOR THE MOST PART FOLLOWED THE REASONABLE QPF FROM HPC...DERIVED SNOW AMOUNTS FROM A SMART TOOL USING THE SFC TEMPS AND QPF...AND SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME GETTING THE RIGHT MIX OF PCPN INTO THE WEATHER GRID. THE HAZARD GRIDS AND HEADLINES FROM THE EVENING SHIFT LOOKED GREAT AND WAS USED WITHOUT RESERVATION. 943 PM EST WED DEC 7 2005 BUSY SHIFT AND LOTS TO LOOK AT. SEVERAL UPDATES PLANNED BASED ON LATEST MODEL RUNS. CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED IN THE +SN THREAT OVER OUR FAR NW CWA (ESTILL...POWELL...MENIFEE...ROWAN...FLEMING...BATH AND MONTGOMERY COS) AS SOUNDINGS SHOW INITIAL WARM SURGE ALOFT BEING OVERTAKEN BY EVAP COOLING RESULTING IN A DEEP ISOTHERMAL LAYER NEAR FREEZING OR SLIGHTLY BELOW. PCPN SHOULD START AFTER NOON AND END LATE FRI NIGHT HERE. MODEL QPF IS 1/2 TO 3/4 INCH UP THAT WAY AND WITH RATIOS NEAR OR A LITTLE LESS THAN 10:1 WILL GO WITH A RANGE OF 3 TO 6 INCHES AND UPGRADE WATCH TO A WARNING. NEXT TIER OF COUNTIES MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF THE HAL ROGERS PARKWAY AND HIGHWAY 80 ARE DIFFICULT. EXPECT PCPN TO BEGIN OVER THE SW PART OF THE AREA AROUND NOON AND PROGRESS QUICKLY NE. TEMPS ALOFT WILL WARM QUICKLY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW ON THE NOSE OF A STRONG 50+KT H85 JET. SURFACE TEMPS WILL LIKELY START COLD AND W/ DENSE OVC COMING IN EARLY AND DRY AIRMASS IN THE LLVLS...HOW MUCH WE CAN WARM UP IS KEY TO THE TYPE OF PCPN TO START WITH. ATTM BELIEVE THE PCPN WILL INITIALLY START AS A SN/PL MIX AS COLUMN WET BULBS TO FREEZING. LLVL WARMING WILL TAKE OVER THOUGH AS SRLY WINDS INCREASE AND GET SOME HELP FROM DOWNSLOPING OVER THE ERN PART OF THE CWA SO A QUICK CHANGE OVER THE FZRA IS POSSIBLE BUT PREDOMINANT P-TYPE BY MID AFTERNOON SHOULD BE RA WITH SOME PL OR SN MIXED IN AT TIMES N OF THE MTN PARKWAY. BELIEVE WE MAY GET UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW TO START WITH AND SOME LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATIONS SO WILL HOIST ADVISORY FOR THE MIDDLE THIRD OF THE CWA. FOR THE SE THIRD OF THE CWA THE PREDOMINANT P-TYPE SHOULD BE RA AFTER A BRIEF MIX OF FZRA/PL/SN AT ONSET. THERE MAY BE SOME LIGHT ICE OR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS W OF A K1A6-KK20 LINE SO THINK AN ADVISORY IS A GOOD IDEA HERE. E OF THAT LINE...THE EFFECTS OF DOWNSLOPING SRLY WINDS WILL DELAY ONSET OF PCPN AND WARM THE ATMOSPHERE UP ENOUGH THAT BY THE TIME PCPN STARTS IT WILL BE RA. DYNAMICS AND CAA QUICKLY TAKE OVER TOMORROW EVENING AND THE RA/SN LINE WILL CRASH SE ACROSS THE AREA MAKING IT TO A KLOZ-KJKL-K22 LINE BY AROUND 02Z AND COMPLETELY THRU THE CWA BY AROUND 06Z. A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN EARLIER IF PCPN RATES AND DYNAMICS CAN COOL THE COLUMN SUFFICIENTLY. NEVERTHELESS...EXPECT A 2 TO 4 HOUR PERIOD OF SN/+SN BEFORE THE PCPN ENDS AND THIS SHOULD DROP A QUICK 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SN EVERYWHERE BEFORE THE SYNOPTIC PCPN ENDS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN SO WILL GO AHEAD AND HOIST A SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SE PART OF THE CWA FOR TOMORROW NIGHT. UPSLOPE SHSN WILL THEN KICK IN BEHIND SYNOPTIC SN THRU MORNING FRI BUT SHOULDN/T ACCUMULATE MUCH. WILL SEND ALL UPDATED PRODUCTS INCLUDING NEW WSW ONCE THEY ARE FINALIZED. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
