AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 303 PM EDT WED JUL 12 2006 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)... BAND OF SHRA/TSTMS GENERALLY ORIENTED SW-NE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY EAST THIS AFTERNOON. NEW ROUND OF CONVECTION NOW FIRING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY WHERE MAX SOLAR INSOLATION HAS BEEN ONGOING. CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY WIND DOWN FOR A BIT FROM WEST LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE NEAR TERM WILL BE TICKY DUE TO CLOUDS AND RAIN. FEELING THAT LOWER 80S ACROSS THE NW AND UPPER 80S IN THE SE WITH A GRADIENT IN BETWEEN IS LIKELY. GIVEN THAT PRECIP WATER VALUES ARE RUNNING 1.7 TO 2.0 ACROSS THE REGION...HEAVY RAINFALL IS A POSSIBILITY AND WILL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE IN THE ZONES. 12Z GFS AND NMM-WRF RUNS SHOWING ANOTHER POTENT H5 S/W ACROSS E KS AND WEST MO IS FORECAST TO SLIDE EAST INTO THE AREA LATER TONIGHT. THIS FEATURE WILL LIKELY BRING YET ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA/TSTMS INTO THE REGION. THEREFORE WILL BE INCREASING POPS A BIT TONIGHT ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT WITH LOWER 70S EXPECTED. THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE LATEST STATISTICAL TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE. FOR THURSDAY...AS WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY FINALLY PRESSES EAST-SOUTHEAST...SHOULD SEE LINGER CONVECTION FROM THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD SLOWLY PUSH EAST THROUGH THE MORNING. THUS...WILL KEEP HIGHEST POPS IN THE EAST AND THEN GRADUALLY LOWER POPS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SINCE WE ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE JUICY AIRMASS...ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT DUE TO DIFFERENTIAL HEATING WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ONCE AGAIN. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR WITH HIGHS OF 84 TO 89 EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE FA. -MJ .LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)... THE MAIN FCST PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE WHETHER OR NOT THE WARM RIDGE ANCHORED OVER THE THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES HOLDS IN PLACE OR RETROGRADES TO THE WEST. IF SO...THIS WOULD ALLOW A FCST TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY TUESDAY TO AMPLIFY DROP MORE TO THE SOUTHEAST AND ALLOW FOR SOME DECENT COOLING TO THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE NATION BY MIDWEEK. WE ARE...AT BEST...ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF THIS SCENARIO. SO WE WILL KEEP THE HOT AND HUMID WEATHER TRENDS FOR THIS FCST PERIOD. THIS AGREES WELL WITH THIS AFTERNOONS LATEST EXTENDED FCST ADJUSTMENTS MADE BY THE HPC EXTENDED FORECAST GROUP. SFC DEWPOINTS SHOULD CONTINUE TO RANGE NEAR OR A FEW DEGREES ABOVE THE 70 DEGREE MARK THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. SINCE THERE ARE NO APPARENT DISTURBANCES TO SET OFF ANY ORGANIZED PCPN THREAT... WE WILL CONTINUE TO GO WITH A MORE DIURNAL PRECIPITATION PATTERN FOR THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT FOR THE FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY TIME FRAME. SINCE THERE WERE NO DECENT FEATURES TO INDICATE A CONTINUED DIURNAL SHOWER THREAT...AND I DID NOT WANT TO MENTION ISOLATED PCPN SO FAR OUT IN THE FCST PERIOD...WE DID NOT MTN AN TSTMS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THIS IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH SURROUNDING FAS TOO. HIGH TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO RANGE MOSTLY FROM THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. --21 && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. IN...NONE. &&
