AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 330 PM EDT THU AUG 10 2006 .DISCUSSION... OUTFLOW FROM THE MCS OVER IA THIS MORNING IS NOW KICKING UP SOME VERY STRONG STORMS OVER SE IN. TOPS ON RADAR INDICATING OVER 60K WITH LITTLE INDICATION OF WEAKENING. TRACK OF STORMS WILL TAKE IT ACROSS ERN KY WITH IMPACT TO OCCUR AROUND 5 PM. WILL HAVE LIKELY POP TONIGHT AND FRI WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THIS SYSTEM AND THE FOLLOWING S/WV NOW OVER WRN IA. WAA HAS BOOSTED OUR HIGH TEMPS TODAY INTO THE UPPER 80S N AND LOWER 90S SW. CLOUD COVER ON FRI WILL KEEP TEMPS DOWN SLIGHTLY AND WILL ONLY FCST LOWER/MID 80S FOR FRI. HAVE GONE ABOVE MAV MOS FOR MOST OTHER TEMPS AS DRY AIR WILL KEEP DRY WX IN AREA AND DRY WX WILL HEAT UP BETTER. FOG IN VALLEYS AND RIDGE/VALLEY SPLIT TO MIN TEMPS LIKELY. WEEKEND WX WILL FEATURE NO PCPN FROM SAT THRU MON AND TEMPS STARTING NEAR 80 AND BUILDING INTO THE UPPER 80S. NEXT SERIES OF S/WVS TO PUSH INTO ERN KY MON NITE THRU WED WITH CHC PCPN TO RETURN TO FCST AND THEN AS HIGH PRESS SHIFTS EAST TO NEW ENG NE FLOW WILL KEEP DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR IN FCST. HAVE FOLLOWED GFS FOR THE LONG TERM FCST. && .PREV DISCUSSION... 1157 AM EDT THU AUG 10 2006 UPDATED THE ZONE PACKAGE THIS MORNING TO REFLECT MOST RECENT TRENDS CONCERNING THE REMNANTS OF AN MCS MOVING TOWARDS THE CENTRAL OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING. IR SAT LOOPS SHOWING THIS SYSTEM REDEVELOPING TO THE EAST. CAN ALSO SEE DECENT COOLING OF CLOUD TOPS WITH THIS ACTIVITY. CORFIDI VECTORS WOULD SUGGEST THAT THIS FEATURE WILL RUSH SOUTHEASTWARD TODAY ALONG A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS OUR AREA. RUC ANALYSIS ALSO INDICATES A TONGUE OF INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AIR NOSING ITS WAY INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY...AT LEAST IN PART DUE TO THE LARGE AREA OF CLEARING TO OUR WEST. SINCE INGREDIENTS APPEAR TO BE COMING TOGETHER WENT AHEAD AND INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY FOR MUCH OF EASTERN KENTUCKY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AS REMNANTS OF THE MCS PUSHES INTO THE AREA. SPC HAS ALSO PLACED EASTERN KENTUCKY IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER TODAY. FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE WITH HIGH PWS CLOSE TO 2 INCHES. HOWEVER...THREAT IS DIMINISHED SOMEWHAT WITH STEERING WINDS PICKING UP CONSIDERABLY THROUGH THE DAY. UPDATED ZONE PACKAGE ALREADY OUT. 859 AM EDT THU AUG 10 2006 WILL ISSUE A QUICK UPDATE TO THE ZONES TO REMOVE THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY. WHILE THERE ARE STILL A FEW SPOTS WITH PATCHY DENSE FOG...COVERAGE IS NO LONGER EXTENSIVE ENOUGH TO WARRANT ANY EXTENSION TO THE ADVISORY. HOWEVER...WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY MENTION OF PATCHY...LOCALLY DENSE FOG IN THE ZONES UNTIL MID MORNING UPDATE WHEN FOG WILL HAVE BURNED OFF. UPDATE OUT SOON. 302 AM EDT THU AUG 10 2006 SOME DISAGREEMENT AMONGST MODELS...SO WENT WITH GFS SOLUTION ONCE AGAIN FOR CONSISTENCY. STATIONARY FRONT PROGGED TO MOVE EAST ACROSS FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING AS A WARM FRONT. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE...FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS JUST AFTER SUNRISE. GFS TRIES TO BRING A COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SOME CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EXPECTED WITH THIS BOUNDARY AS WELL LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MET AND FWC POPS SEEMED A BIT LOW...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON AND THE MOISTURE IN PLACE AT SURFACE. WENT WITH HIGH CHANCE POPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH IS CLOSE TO WHAT THE MAV MOS HAS. THE BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN APPEARS TO BE FOR FRIDAY...AS A FRONTAL WAVE FORMS AND MOVES EASTWARD ALONG A STALLED OUT FRONT. WENT WELL ABOVE MOS GUIDANCE FOR FRIDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS INDICATING GOOD LIFT AND DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE AS FRONTAL WAVE TRAVERSES REGION. TEMPERATURES WERE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE ALREADY. A FEW TWEAKS WERE MADE BASED UPON A BLEND OF MAV MOS AND MRF ENSEMBLE MOS NUMBERS. OVERALL THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. WINDS WERE ALSO TWEAKED FOR FRIDAY...TO BETTER REFLECT PASSAGE OF WAVE ALONG STALLED/SLOW MOVING FRONT...WHICH WILL POSSIBLY BE DRAPED ALONG THE KY/TN BORDER. DEWPOINTS WERE ALSO IN GOOD SHAPE AND WERE UNCHANGED. WEATHER GRIDS WERE ADJUSTED BASED UPON CHANGES MADE TO POP FORECAST. FOG HAS ALSO BECOME WIDESPREAD ACROSS FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING FOG FORMATION FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS...SO MADE SURE TO INCLUDE FOG IN THE WEATHER GRIDS FOR THE 6-13Z TIME FRAME THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. 1040 PM EDT WED AUG 9 2006 PRECIP HAS ENDED AND POPS CAN BE LOWERED. HOWEVER...PREFER NOT TO TAKE IT BELOW CHANCE LEVEL. MODELS INDICATE WIND FLOW OFF THE SURFACE TONIGHT PROVIDING WARM AIR ADVECTION IMPINGING ON THE DIFFUSE FRONTAL BOUNDARY LEFT OVER THE REGION. CONCERNED THAT THERE COULD BE ENOUGH LIFT/DESTABILIZATION DUE TO THIS TO ALLOW SOME SHOWERS/STORMS TO REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT. HAVE USED 30 PERCENT POP AREA WIDE. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && DUSTY
