NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 3, 7:25 PM EST, 4 hours 33 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 825 PM EDT MON JUL 3 2006 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS WANED NOW AS THE SUN SETS. RUC CONTINUES TO FIRE SOME STORMS TO OUR SOUTH OVERNIGHT WITH A WEAK IMPULSE OVER THE SEQUATCHIE VALLEY BUT BELIEVE EAST KENTUCKY WILL REMAIN MOSTLY IN THE DRY FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT...WELL TO THE SOUTH OF THE ACTIVITY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. WHILE CAN/T RULE OUT A SHOWER OR TWO FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR SO...COVERAGE SHOULD REMAIN WELL LESS THAN 10% AND WILL UPDATE ZONES TO RID THEM OF THE EVENING POPS AND HANDLE ANYTHING THAT DOES FIRE WITH A NOWCAST. REMAINDER OF FORECAST SUITE LOOKS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND WILL NEED NO UPDATE. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT... && .PREV DISCUSSION... 237 PM EDT MON JUL 3 2006 QUASI-STATIONARY SFC BOUNDARY HAS RETREATED TO THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE OHIO VALLEY. THE INCREASED SFC MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA HAS LED TO MORE ISOLATED CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR COVERAGE AND MAY INCLUDE A 20 POP FOR ALL ZONES EARLY THIS EVENING. A SLOWER FRONTAL PROGRESSION STILL LOOKS IN THE OFFING AS GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED BACK ON POPS FOR TOMORROW AS THE BOUNDARY SLOWLY SAGS TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE NORTH. MAIN PRECIPITATION EVENT ADVERTISED BY BOTH THE GFS AND NAM/WRF LOOKS TO BE TUESDAY NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...AS UPPER LEVEL FORCING INCREASES AND S/W/S TRAVERSE ATOP THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO HIGH LIKELY FOR THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS TUESDAY NIGHT...AND MAINTAINED PERSISTENCE FOR WEDNESDAY AS THE FRONT SLIDES ON THROUGH BY THURSDAY MORNING. GFS HAD BEEN RELATIVELY CONSISTENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE EXIT...HOWEVER 00Z AND 12Z RUNS OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS HAVE BEEN WAFFLING...SO STUCK CLOSE TO PERSISTENCE HERE AS WELL...ENDING ALL POPS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A SEVERE AS WELL AS AN ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING THREAT WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM TUESDAY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-64...AND TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. THE CURRENT HWO HAS ALL OF THIS WELL HANDLED. A MORE PLEASANT AIR MASS WILL REPLACE THE CURRENT ONE ON THURSDAY...WITH DRY WEATHER AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. 1211 PM EDT MON JUL 3 2006 DID A SLIGHT SPATIAL EXPANSION OF THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS LOOK FAVORABLE FOR THEM TO FIRE...WITH MORE MID LEVEL MOISTURE PRESENT IN OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES TO RESULT IN LESS ENTRAINMENT OF DRY AIR IN THE CONVECTIVE CURRENTS AS THEY BUILD UPWARD. THERE HAS BEEN VERY ISOLATED COVERAGE FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...AND SUSPECT THE COVERAGE MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER TODAY. OUTSIDE OF THE SLIGHT CHANCE AREA...HAVE LOWERED CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON TO THE MOSTLY SUNNY CATEGORY...EXPECTING CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY. HAVE ALSO ADDED HUMID WORDING TO THE ZFP UP UNTIL COLD FROPA...AND HAVE ADDED WORDING FOR LESS HUMIDITY ON THURSDAY AFTER COLD FROPA. 540 AM EDT MON JUL 3 2006 THIS MORNINGS SFC CHART SHOWS A NEAR STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM PA WESTWARD...THROUGH CNTRL OH...IN...AND IL. A SECOND FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS HEADING SE FROM CANADA...CURRENTLY ENTERING THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION. SFC HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS...EASTERN TN VALLEY. RADAR SHOWS FAIRLY ACTIVE WEATHER TO THE NORTH ALONG THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY. EACH CLUSTER OR COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS IS ACTING AS A WAVE OR RIPPLE ALONG THE FRONT...SHIFTING THE BOUNDARY SLIGHTLY NORTH AND THEN SOUTH AS THEY PASS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO FIRE AROUND THE SFC HIGH PRESSURE CENTER TO OUR SOUTH AS WELL. ALSO NOTICED THAT SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS LASTED MUCH LONGER INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TODAY THAN YESTERDAY. THE GFS TRENDED FASTER WITH WEDNESDAY COLD FRONT. THE WRF HELD STEADY...MORE IN LINE WITH THE ECMWF. ALSO...THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN CONTINUES TO SHOW A SLOWER TRANSITION TO THE FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA. CONSEQUENTLY...STAY WITH PERSISTENCE AND PREVIOUS SHIFTS TIMING FOR MID DAY TO MID AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY FROPA. OTHERWISE...NO MAJOR CHANGES IN LAST NIGHTS MODEL RUNS AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE FORECAST AS WELL. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE WAS TO ADD A SLIGHT POP TO OUR SOUTHERN MOST ZONES FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. WHILE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN ISOLATED AT BEST OVER THE WEEKEND...EACH PASSING DAY HAS SEEN A BIT OF AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE WITH ACTIVITY REACHING SLIGHTLY FURTHER TO THE NORTH AROUND THE SFC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM TO OUR SOUTH. BOTH THE WRF AND GFS FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW CONSIDERABLY DEEPER MOISTURE TO OUR SOUTH. AND BOTH MODELS HINTED AT A WEAK SHORT WAVE...MORE OF RIPPLE TRACKING THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE GFS WAS A BIT STRONGER WITH THIS RIPPLE...AND BASED ON ITS FCST SOUNDINGS APPARENTLY ENOUGH TO WEAKEN THE MID LEVEL CAP FURTHER TO OUR SOUTH. FINALLY...WITH DEW POINTS NOW REACHING INTO THE UPPER 60S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA AND WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING WELL INTO THE 90S...IT IS HARD NOT TO GET A FEW LATE DAY POP UPS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION POTENTIAL THREATS...PARTICULARLY ISOLD FLASH FLOODING IN THE HWO. PW/S STILL FORECASTED TO BE AROUND 2 INCHES WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. HOWEVER...IF GFS/S FASTER TREND TO SYSTEM MOVEMENT PANS OUT...FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL LOWER AS WELL. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && ABE
