NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 3:48 PM EST, 4 hours 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 448 PM EDT THU JUN 1 2006 .DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM MESOSCALE UPDATE...TAKING A LOOK AT THE LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS A LARGE AREA OF MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES NOW OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. RUC ANALYSIS PLACES AN AREA OF >2500 J/KG OF CAPE OVER THIS AREA WITH LITTLE TO NO CINH AND SURFACE DEWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES. BELIEVE THIS IS THE AREA OF GREATEST POTENTIAL AND THE WATCH IS WELL PLACED AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. CELLS OVER CENTRAL KENTUCKY WILL BE MOVING INTO THE AREA BY AROUND 22Z AND OUTFLOW FROM CELLS THAT DEVELOPED OVER PINE MOUNTAIN EARLIER WILL BE MOVING NORTH INTO THE AREA AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME ADDING AN ADDITIONAL FOCUSING MECHANISM TO DEAL WITH. ONE ITEM OF GOOD NEWS IS THAT CELL MOTION SHOULD BE FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP ANY FLASH FLOODING PROBLEMS TO A MINIMUM...HOWEVER SOME SMALL STREAM AND URBAN FLOODING REMAINS POSSIBLE. && .PREV DISCUSSION... 331 PM EDT THU JUN 1 2006 DISCUSSION...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TRACKING EAST ALONG THE OHIO RIVER HAS INITIATED A LINE OF MARGINALLY SEVERE TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHCENTRAL KY. THESE STORMS SHOULD CONTINE EAST AND WILL IMPACT ERN KY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. CAVEAT WILL BE THE TIMING OF STORMS INTO OUR CWFA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SETTING SUN AND LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING. OTHER STORMS IN TN AND VA/WVA HAVE ALSO BROKEN THE CAP AND WILL BEAR WATCHING EVEN THO THEY ARE OUTSIDE CURRENT SVR TS WATCH AREA. WEAK FNTL BNDRY SAGGING THRU NWRN IN/OH WITH ONLY INDICATION A WEAK WIND SHIFT WILL PUSH THRU ERN KY AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. IMPETUS WILL BE A SFC LOW THAT TRACKS NEWD FROM THE MO BOOTHEEL TOWARD PBZ. THIS FNT WILL ACT MORE LIKE A DIFUSE OUTFLOW BNDRY THAN AN ACTUAL FNT. ALSO THE AIR POST FNTL IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM PRE FNTL SO FRI WILL BE A REPEAT OF THIS AFTN EVENT. COOLER/DRIER AIR FINALLY OOZES INTO REGION LATE FRI EVENING WHICH WILL ALLOW SAT MORN TEMPS TO RECORD SLIGHTLY LOWER READINGS AND THEN HIGH TEMPS ON SAT WILL ONLY REACH THE MID 70S UNDER PC SKIES. RELIEF WILL BE SHORT LIVED WITH DIURNAL PCPN REAPPEARING LATE MON AFTN WITH TEMPS REBOUNDING INTO THE 80S. REST OF FCST WILL INDICATE WARM TEMPS AND DIURNAL PCPN...BUT MORE DIFFUSE AS TO TIMING. 149 PM EDT THU JUN 1 2006 WILL BE ISSUING AN UPDATE FOR NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH...NUMBER 427. AREA WILL GENERALLY COVER LOCATIONS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE HAL ROGERS PARKWAY. THIS WATCH BEING ISSUED AS A RESULT OF A LARGE CLUSTER...DEVELOPING LINE OF CONVECTION CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH WEST CENTRAL KENTUCKY...VALID THROUGH 0Z THIS EVENING. 1137 AM EDT THU JUN 1 2006 SATELLITE SHOWING QUITE A BIT OF BREAKS IN THE CLOUDINESS OVER THE REGION...AND AT PRESENT MOST OF ANY CLOUD COVER OVER OUR AREA IS FAIRLY HIGH IN NATURE. COLD FRONT STILL TO OUR NORTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST TODAY...INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. WILL UPDATE THIS MORNING TO REMOVE MORNING WORDING AND FOG. WILL ALSO HAVE TO RAISE MAX TEMPS A BIT AS WELL. CURRENT OBS ARE SHOWING WE HAVE ALREADY HIT OUR ADVERTISED MAX IN SOME LOCATIONS. CONVECTIVE TEMP IS ABOUT 80 DEGREES WHICH WE SHOULD BE REACHING WITHIN THE HOUR...TWO AT THE MOST. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE ALSO SHOWING A BIT WARMER MID LEVEL TEMPS THAN YESTERDAY. SO WHEN THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN TO FIRE...THEY MAY DO SO WITH A LITTLE LESS VIGOR THAN YESTERDAY...ESPECIALLY WITH ADDITIONAL HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS. WITH THIS IN MIND...EXPECT HIGH TEMPS SHOULD REACH A LITTLE HIGHER THAN 80 AS IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR CONVECTION TO FIRE AND GENERATE ENOUGH CLOUD COVER TO REALIZE ANY TYPE OF WIDESPREAD CHECK TO CLIMBING AFTERNOON TEMPS...AT LEAST FOR THOSE AREAS NOT SEEING ANY IMMEDIATE RAINFALL. WILL ALSO GO WITH A FIVE DEGREE SPREAD FOR AFTERNOON TEMPS TO COVER THE POSSIBILITY THAT A FEW LOCATIONS COULD REACH EVEN HIGHER. WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS INHERITED FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING PERIOD. HOWEVER...DID MAKE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ISC SKY AND POP GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT TIMING TRENDS. 330 AM EDT THU JUN 1 2006 WITH THE GFS STILL HAVING SOME CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUES...DECIDED TO GO WITH NAM SOLUTION FOR SHORT TERM PORTION OF FORECAST. MULTIPLE BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM YESTERDAYS CONVECTION...COULD ACT AS TRIGGERS FOR SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS EARLY THIS MORNING. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. MODEL SOUNDINGS AND CROSS SECTIONS SHOWING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IN PLACE OVER ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. WITH VERY LIGHT WINDS ALSO ANTICIPATED AT BOTH LOW AND MIDDLE LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...ANY STORMS THAT FORM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. MODELS ALSO INDICATING ENOUGH LIFT AND INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS TO FORM THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. NAM HAS LIFTED INDICES OF MINUS TWO TO MINUS FOUR...AND CAPE OF 800 TO 1200 J/KG IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH WOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR AT LEAST ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. THE MAIN THREATS WOULD BE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. SKY COVER WAS REDONE A BIT TO ACCOUNT FOR SLOW EXIT OF AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS KEEP QUITE A BIT OF MOISTURE IN PLACE AT ALL LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...SO WENT WITH AT LEAST PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH LOW PRESSURE LINGERING...AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE AT THE SURFACE...ALSO LEFT IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. ALSO...WITH FRONT SLOW TO EXIT EASTERN KENTUCKY FRIDAY...KEPT LIKELY PRECIPITATION CHANCES IN FORECAST THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WITH A GRADUAL DOWN TREND IN POPS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. AFTER EARLY SATURDAY...FELT MODELS HAD OVERDONE PRECIP A BIT...SO KEPT THINGS HIGH AND DRY FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. DEWPOINTS LOOKED GOOD AND WERE ONLY ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY PER LATEST TRENDS. WINDS WERE ADJUSTED TO REFLECT CHANGES MADE TO TIMING OF FRONTAL PASSAGE THURSDAY NIGHT. QPF AND WEATHER GRIDS WERE ALSO MODIFIED...BASED UPON CHANGES MADE TO POP AND SKY GRIDS. WENT WITH A BLEND OF MAV AND MET MOS NUMBERS FOR TEMPERATURE FORECAST...GOING ON THE WARM SIDE OF MAVMOS FOR MAX TEMPS ACROSS THE BOARD...AND VERY CLOSE TO MAV MOS FOR MIN TEMPS. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR COUNTIES GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE HAL ROGERS PARKWAY...AND WEST OF KY HWY 23 UNTIL 8 PM EDT. && ABE
