COMPLEX FORECAST FOR TONIGHT WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND STRONGER STORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF COLD FRONT. AIR HAS DESTABILIZED IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH SURFACE BASED LIS -9 ACROSS PARTS OF MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS. EXPECT TWO SHOTS AT SEVERE WEATHER. FIRST THIS EVENING AS THE STORMS IN TENNESSEE MOVE NORTHEAST FROM TENNESSEE. SECOND WILL BE LATER THIS EVENING INTO EARLY OVERNIGHT AS UNSTABLE AIR FROM MISSOURI WORKS EAST AND COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY. UPPER LEVEL JET WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY BY 06Z WITH A STRONGER JET STREAK BEHIND IT. 40 TO 50 KT WINDS AT 850 MB WILL ALSO AID IN STRONG WINDS GUSTS AS THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP INTO LINES TONIGHT. ON MONDAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES TO THE EAST...WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL KEEP CLOUDS OVER THE AREA. COLDER AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH COLD CORE LOW TO OUR NORTH WILL KEEP AIR UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.

AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING TROUGH. AT THE SURFACE COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

MID RANGE MODELS ARE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY RESOLVING THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN FOR THIS FORECAST PERIOD. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE ADDITIONAL ENERGY DROPPING INTO THE EASTERN UNITED STATES TROUGH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD AND AN ADDITIONAL TROUGH DEVELOPING OFF THE WEST COAST. THIS WILL AFFECT THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF A TROUGH OVER THE INTERIOR WEST AT 00Z THURSDAY. FOR CONSISTENCY WE WILL USE THE GFS ENSEMBLE FOR THIS FORECAST.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE FRIDAY IN THE WARM MOIST AIRMASS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. PRECIPITATION SHOULD END FRIDAY NIGHT. FOR NOW WE WILL KEEP MOST OF SATURDAY AND SUNDAY DRY.
