AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 331 PM EDT MON JUN 19 2006 .MESO UPDATE... JUST GOT OFF A CONFRENCE CALL WITH SPC AND SVR TSTM WATCH 512 WILL BE COMING UP SHORTLY UNTIL 02Z. THIS WILL BE REFLECTED IN THE UPCOMING ZONE ISSUANCE. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT STORMS WILL EVENTUALLY BACKBUILD ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND THEN MOVE ESE THROUGH OUR SOUTHERN INDIANA COUNTIES AND MAY SKIM SOME PORTION OF NORTHERN KY. CURRENT VIS IMAGERY SUPPORTS THIS AS WELL AS TCU GOING UP ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS. -JARVIS .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)... AFTERNOON SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. GIVEN THE MORNING CLOUD COVER...TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN A BIT SLOWER TO RISE THIS AFTERNOON. MOST LOCATIONS ARE REPORTING UPPER 70S TO THE LOWER 80S. SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS STILL TO OUR NORTHWEST WITH SEVERAL AREAS OF CONVECTION FIRING ALONG IT. THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THIS SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL BE PRECIPITATION CHANCES TONIGHT AND AGAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON. 12Z NAM AND GFS SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. MODEL SOLUTIONS BRING FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. WITH CONVECTION ALREADY FIRING TO NORTH CLOSER TO THE UPPER LEVEL...MAIN CONCERN IS WHETHER CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP FURTHER SOUTHWESTWARD DURING THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RECENT SAT IMAGERY SHOWING CU FIELD STRUGGLING ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS WHERE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS NOT ALL THAT GREAT. NONETHELESS...THE NAM12 AND REG NAM RUNS CONTINUE TO SHOW CONVECTION BACKBUILDING THROUGH SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHERN KY THIS EVENING. THUS WE WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS IN THE FCST FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FA TONIGHT. CONCERNING SVR POTENTIAL...GIVEN THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND DECENT LAPSE RATES...STORMS COULD BE SEVERE THIS EVENING. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH SOME HAIL POSSIBLE AS WELL. TEMPERATURES WILL NOT FALL ALL THAT MUCH BEHIND THE FRONT WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. FOR TUESDAY...SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO START OF MOSTLY SUNNY IN THE MORNING. HOWEVER BY AFTERNOON...MODELS SHOW THAT COMBO OF HEATING AND INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO SCT CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE RANDOM NATURE OF CONVECTION WILL BE USING COVERAGE TERMS FOR THE UPCOMING FCST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN WITH HIGHS IN THE 86 TO 91 DEGREE RANGE. -JARVIS .LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)... MODELS DEPICT PATTERN THROUGH LONG RANGE SHIFTING FROM ZONAL FLOW OVER NORTHERN HALF OF THE UNITED STATES AND UPPER RIDGE OVER SOUTHEASTERN QUARTER OF THE COUNTRY TO ONE WITH AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER THE WEST AND TROUGH OVER THE EAST. .TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY... HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL UNDER INFLUENCE OF SOUTHWEST FLOW INTO THE OHIO VALLEY ON WEST SIDE OF BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE. THIS WILL PUMP GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE NORTH...SO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EITHER AFTERNOON. WITH GENEROUS AMOUNTS OF SUNSHINE HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOWER 90S. .THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY... WITH UPPER PATTERN SEEING RIDGE BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST...IMPULSES MOVING INTO SOUTHERN CANADA OR PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND INFLUENCED BY UPPER VORTEX IN NORTHEASTERN CANADA... TROUGH WILL GRADUALLY FORM OVER THE EASTERN STATES. IMPULSES DROPPING INTO MID MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS WILL DRAG COLD FRONT SOUTHEAST TO NEAR THE OHIO RIVER BY FRIDAY. PRESENCE OF FRONT AND ACCOMPANYING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL PRODUCE ONGOING CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS UNTIL SOME TIME MONDAY. THUS STORMS WILL BE MENTIONED THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. MORE SPECIFIC TIMING OF ANY STORMS WILL COME LATER...AS WILL DETAILS OF HOW MUCH IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES COMING CHANGE WILL HAVE. WITH GOOD CHANCE OF STORMS EACH DAY AND PRESENCE OF PLENTIFUL MOISTURE... CLOUDS WILL SERVE TO HOLD DOWN TEMPERATURES TO SOME EXTENT. SO FROM FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 80S. ENOUGH DRY AIR MAY FINALLY PUSH INTO THE FORECAST AREA TO END PRECIPITATION DURING MONDAY. EVEN THOUGH HIGH TEMPERATURES MONDAY MAY NOT COOL MUCH BECAUSE OF INCREASING SUNSHINE...HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL BE LOWER. THEN AGAIN...WELL SEE HOW THIS HOLDS UP THIS WEEK WITH SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS. -REITMEYER && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. IN...NONE. &&
