NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 14, 9:08 PM EST, 2 hours 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 1008 PM EDT FRI JUL 14 2006 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITH AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY WITH SOME OF THESE STORMS. 1 HR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS 1.4 TO 2.1 INCHES...WITH 3 HR AMOUNTS RANGING FROM 1.9 TO 3.2 OVER THE AREA. RAINFALL WILL LIKELY EXCEED SOME OF THESE VALUES IN LOCALIZED AREAS. CONCERNED ABOUT TRAINING OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE FLASH FLOOD RISK. UPR TROF AND VORT MAX WILL BE MOVING EAST ACROSS KY OVERNIGHT. THIS SHOULD BEGIN TO EXIT THE REGION IN THE MORNING. ADJUSTED POPS AND SKY COVER UP MOST AREAS TONIGHT. TAPERED POPS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. WENT CATEGORICAL IN THE NORTH...TO LIKELY IN THE SOUTH. INSTABILITY HAS BEEN DECREASING SINCE SUNSET...BUT RUC IS SHOWING POSITIVE CAPES REMAINING OVERNIGHT. BELIEVE RUC CAPES ARE A LITTLE TOO HIGH THOUGH. MADE A COUPLE OF MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO MIN TEMPS AND HOURLY TEMP AND DEW POINT GRIDS. ALSO RAISED QPF AMOUNTS IN THE GRIDS. UPDATED PRODUCTS WILL BE OUT SHORTLY. && .PREV DISCUSSION... 530 PM EDT FRI JUL 14 2006 20Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE GREAT LAKES WITH A CONVECTION WASHED OUT COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH THROUGH WESTERN INDIANA AND THEN SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND ELSEWHERE THROUGH KENTUCKY...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE SPROUTED UP...FED AT THE SFC BY DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S AND TEMPERATURES NEAR 90 DEGREES THROUGHOUT THE STATE. ADDING TO THE POTENCY IS AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ITS DYNAMIC SUPPORT. LAPS CAPES ARE 3000 TO 4000 J/KG THROUGH EAST KENTUCKY AT THIS TIME. IN ADDITION...SPC HAS SURROUNDED OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES WITH NEW WATCH BOXES. EXPECT STORMS TO ROLL INTO THIS PART OF THE STATE BY MID EVENING...WITH LOCALLY GENERATED AND LESS ORGANIZED ONES AFFECTING THE AREA IN THE MEANTIME. SEVERE WIND GUSTS STILL APPEAR TO BE THE MAIN THREAT ALONG WITH THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL GIVEN THE HIGH PWS AND ANY TRAINING OF THE CELLS. THE MODELS ARE NOW IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ALOFT THROUGH 60 HOURS AS THEY SEEM TO HAVE RESOLVED THE TROUGH PASSING THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT AND THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THIS FEATURE IS NOW DEPICTED AS MORE PROGRESSIVE FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEKEND...AS ANTICIPATED YESTERDAY. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD WILL ENTAIL A SPRAWLING RIDGE SPREADING EAST FROM THE PLAINS THROUGH THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY AND TO THE EAST COAST BY MONDAY. THIS DOMINANT RIDGE WILL THEN PROCEED TO BAKE MUCH OF THE COUNTRY NEXT WEEK. TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR RELIEF IN THE FORM OF A TROUGH PASSING THROUGH CENTRAL CANADA... PERHAPS INFLUENCING A SFC FRONT INTO OUR AREA. FOR NOW...THOUGH... WILL STICK WITH THE MORE LIKELY SCENARIO OF THE RIDGE HOLDING FIRM OVERHEAD. SENSIBLE WEATHER FEATURES AN ACTIVE 12 TO 24 HOUR PERIOD AS THE UPPER TROUGH PASSES BY WITH DIURNALLY DRIVEN STORMS ACTIVE THIS EVENING. THEN SOME LEFTOVER CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TONIGHT ALONG WITH SOME MORE DIURNAL CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTHERN PARTS OF OUR CWA SATURDAY. HIGH PWS WILL KEEP THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT IN PLACE THROUGH THE NIGHT ..THOUGH EXPECT ANY PROBLEMS WILL BE LOCALIZED SINCE THE RAINS OF THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAVE NOT PRIMED MUCH OF THE AREA WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF A FEW LOCATIONS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 64 AND IN PIKE COUNTY. DRIER AIR MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THIS DRYING SPREADS OVER THE REST OF THE CWA SATURDAY NIGHT WITH ONLY SOMEWHAT COOLER READINGS EXPECTED BY SUNDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH THE HUMIDITY WILL BE LESS ON SUNDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL STILL RISE TO NEAR 90 DEGREES THANKS TO PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL BE MORE OF THE SAME AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB WELL INTO THE 90S EACH DAY WITH LOWS NOT FAR FROM 70. BY THE END OF THE WEEK DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB BACK TO NEAR WERE THEY ARE NOW SENDING HEAT INDICES OVER 100 DEGREES. FWC AND MAV MOS LOW TEMPERATURES WERE SIMILAR TONIGHT...WITH PERSISTENCE PERFERRED RATHER THAN THE WARM MET NUMBERS. LIKED THE MOS TEMPS FROM THE MET THE BEST FOR HIGHS ON SATURDAY. FOR SATURDAY NIGHT...WENT WITH A MORE TYPICAL SPLIT BETWEEN RIDGE AND VALLEYS...A LITTLE MORE EXAGGERATED THAN THE MOS IMPLIES. THEN ON SUNDAY RAN THEM A TAD WARMER THAN SATURDAY/S HIGHS WITH DRY AIR AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. THE MAV NUMBERS FOR SUNDAY SEEMED A DAY TOO QUICK FOR HIGHS IN THE LOW AND MID 90S. WITH THE POPS ENDED UP CLOSEST TO THE MAV TONIGHT AND THEN JUST ABOVE THE MET IN MOST LOCATIONS ON SATURDAY. KEEP THE FORECAST DRY FOR THE REST OF THE PERIODS...EXCEPT FOR A LINGERING SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IN THE EVENING FOR FAR SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY. IN THE IFPS/GFE GRIDS...FOLLOWED MY USUAL PROCEDURE TO POPULATE DEWPOINTS AND WINDS FROM THE NAM12 THROUGH 84 HOURS. THE WINDS CAME IN A BIT HIGH...SO TOOK THEM DOWN SLIGHTLY WHILE ENHANCING THE LAPSE RATE A BIT IN THE AFTERNOONS. WITH THE DEWPOINTS...THE HIGH PW AIR IN PLACE ONCE AGAIN MADE THE NAM NUMBERS APPEAR REASONABLE. DID TAKE THEM DOWN A BIT EACH AFTERNOON FOR SOME MIX DOWN OF DRIER AIR FROM ALOFT...ESPECIALLY FROM SUNDAY ON. THE REST OF THE GRIDS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH MY MAIN CHANGES FOCUSED ON FINE TUNING POP AND SKY GRIDS TONIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING. 1035 AM EDT FRI JUL 14 2006 A FEW MINOR CHANGES MADE TO THIS MORNINGS FORECAST. WILL BE REMOVING MORNING AND AFTERNOON WORDING AND MENTION OF MORNING FOG FROM TEXT PRODUCT. PER LATEST OBS...HOURLY TEMPERATURES WERE A BIT OFF FROM WHAT WAS FORECAST...SO MINOR TWEAKS WERE MADE HERE. HOWEVER...MOST CHANGES WERE MINOR ENOUGH THAT THE OVERALL MAX TEMP FORECAST FOR TODAY WONT BE ALTERED ANYWHERE EXCEPT AT MIDDLESBORO...WHERE DENSE MORNING VALLEY FOG HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN FORECAST THIS MORNING. ALSO LOWERED PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR THE REST OF THIS MORNING...WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LACK OF A SURFACE TRIGGER...DONT ANTICIPATE ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY FIRING UP UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON. MADE CHANGES TO WEATHER AND QPF GRIDS PER CHANGES MADE TO POPS. ALSO DECREASED AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER IN SKY GRIDS UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON...WHEN AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES IN FROM THE PLAINS. REST OF FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE. 426 AM EDT FRI JUL 14 2006 VERY WARM AND MOIST AIR CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA. AT 4 AM...THE COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM NORTHWEST INDIANA...ACROSS DAYTON TO JUST SOUTH OF ELKINS WEST VIRGINIA. THIS FRONT IS FORECAST TO STAY TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA AND GENERALLY WASH OUT OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. THERE AREA A LOT OF WEAK BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM EARLIER CONVECTION AND SOME SHORT WAVES WHICH WILL BE HELPING TO GENERATED SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AND SHOWERS TODAY. WITH THE ABUNDANT PRECIPITABLE WATER AVAILABLE...SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY PRODUCE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE ACROSS THE AREA IS BETWEEN 1.5 TO 2.0 INCHES...SO THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY LOCALIZED AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT SURFACE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. NO DOUBT...THIS WILL PRODUCE AN ORGANIZED LINE OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. THE THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS FAIRLY LOW BECAUSE THE FREEZING LEVEL IS TOO HIGH TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND THE THE ATMOSPHERE IS LACKING ANY DRY AIR ALOFT OR ENOUGH SHEAR TO PRODUCE STRONG WINDS. THE ONLY THREAT FOR ANY SEVERE WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH SOMETHING LIKE INTERSECTING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ON SATURDAY BEHIND THE TROUGH...BUT THEN THINGS WILL BE DRYING OUT FROM SUNDAY THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK. ONCE THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH...THE HEAT WILL BE ON WITH TEMPERATURES APPROACHING THE MID 90S THOUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK. THESE WILL BE NEAR RECORD HIGHS. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
