Damaging Winds in Indiana, May 28, 2006

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
230 PM EDT SUN MAY 28 2006

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MEMORIAL DAY)...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY WILL RAPIDLY
DIMINISH BY LATE AFTERNOON AS SOLAR HEATING DIMINISHES. EXPECT
CLEARING SKIES THIS EVENING AND A POSSIBILITY OF SOME PATCHY GROUND
FOG REDEVELOPING ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES BY EARLY TOMORROW

A STRONG RIDGE WILL REMAIN CENTERED THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY BASICALLY
JUST EAST OF KENTUCKY. JET STREAM ENERGY EJECTING FROM THE WESTERN
TROUGH WILL HELP MOVE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE NORTH ALONG THE WESTERN
SIDE OF THIS RIDGE TOWARDS THE DAKOTAS BY EARLY TOMORROW.
HOWEVER...ENERGY WILL NOT PUSH EAST INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST UNTIL
TUESDAY.

ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY...VERY LIGHT WINDS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH TOMORROW. LIKE THIS AFTERNOON...AMPLE HEATING AND MOISTURE
WILL HELP TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. A LACK
OF ANY UPPER AIR FORCING WILL PRECLUDE ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION AND
SO EXPECT A REPEAT OF SLOW MOVING...DISORGANIZED SCATTERED PULSE
TYPE STORMS THE WILL DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. ISOLATED
AREAS AGAIN COULD SEE BRIEF INTENSE RAINFALL.

TEMPERATURES MONDAY WILL STAY SIMILAR TO SUNDAYS HIGHS. AFTERNOON
HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM 8 TO 12 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS. JSD

.LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)...

OVERALL PATTERN STILL SEEMS TO BE EVOLVING INTO A MEAN RIDGE OVER
THE WESTERN U.S. WITH A MEAN TROUGH OVER THE ERN U.S. ALTHOUGH THE
LATEST DATA DOESNT INDICATE A CLOSED LOW TO OUR NORTHEAST AS
WAS THE CASE YDA. THE MAIN FCST PROBLEM IS DEALING WITH
TIMING OF JUST WHEN THE VERY WARM AND HUMID WEATHER SHIFTS TO
A DRY AND MORE NORMAL TEMPERATURE CONFIGURATION LATER NEXT WEEK.

LATEST HPC FCST TRENDS INDICATE FROPA ACROSS FA THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND NIGHT AND THAT LOOKS OK FOR THIS FCST...WHICH IS IN LINE
WITH CURRENT TRENDS TOO. UNTIL THEN AND MOSTLY DIURNAL THREAT OF
AFTERNOON AND EVE TSTMS ON TUE AND WED...WITH VERY WARM AND UNSTABLE
AIR IN PLACE. WE WILL END THE PCPN THURS NIGHT AND THEN DRY WITH
NEAR NORMAL HIGHS AND LOWS OVER NEXT WEEKEND. --21
