AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 806 AM EST SUN MAR 12 2006 .MESO UPDATE... BAND OF HVY RAIN CONTINUES FROM OWB TO NEAR LEX...WITH WAVES OF PCPN RIDING UP AND OVER COLD POOL ESTABLISHED OVER SRN IND AND NORTH CNTRL KY. EXPECTING THIS SITUATION TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST THE LATE MORNING HOURS AS MODERATE LOW-LEVEL THETA-E ADVECTION PERSISTS PER LATEST NAM. WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS ONGOING...ESPECIALLY OVER SRN IND WHERE IN ORANGE COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT IS RECOMMENDING PEOPLE NOT TRAVEL DUE TO FLOODING. FRENCH LICK INDIANA COOP OBSERVER HAS REPORTED 7.5 INCHES OF RAIN SINCE THURSDAY WE HAVE EXTENDED THE FLOOD WATCH A COUPLE TIERS OF COUNTIES FURTHER SOUTH DUE TO SOMEWHAT FURTHER SOUTH EXTENSION OF CONVECTION COMPARED TO EARLIER THINKING. UPSTREAM OVER PAH CWA STORMS APPEAR A LITTLE MORE INTENSE...AND EVEN A LINE SEGMENT LOOKING STRUCTURE MOVING INTO WOODFORD/MERCER COUNTIES IN THE BLUEGRASS HAS OUR ATTENTION AS OF 13 UTC. SPC HAS INDICATED THAT ARE CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL SEVERE THREAT SOUTH OF QUASI- STATIONARY HEAVY PRECIP BAND...WHERE LAPS IS SHOWING SURFACE BASED LIS OF ZERO TO -1C. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR LOCALIZED HIGH WINDS AND HAIL. CS && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 647 AM EST SUN MAR 12 2006) ..SVR WX AND HVY RAIN THREATS CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY... MESO/SHORT-TERM UPDATE... RAIN...RAIN...RAIN. BAND OF QUASI-STATIONARY CONVECTION CONTINUES FROM JUST N OF OWB OVER INTO THE FTK/SDF AND FFT AREAS AS OF 1145 UTC. THESE TRAINING CELLS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER COUPLE HOURS...PRODUCING WIDESPREAD FLOODING PROBLEMS. NUMEROUS FLOOD REPORTS ALREADY RECEIVED. ADDTL SCT CELLS DEVELOPING FURTHER SOUTH WITHIN WARM SECTOR...THOSE WILL WORK THEIR WAY INTO THE BLUEGRASS REGION. CELLS MAY PRODUCE SOME SMALL HAIL...GUSTY WINDS TO 25KTS...AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. HAVE UPDATED THE FCST TO DROP THE TORNADO WATCH FOR OUR SRN IND COUNTIES...WHERE COLD POOL HAS MINIMIZED SVR WX POTENTIAL. HOWEVER WE CONTINUED THE WATCH FOR THE TWO KY COUNTIES ORIGINALLY IN THE WATCH...HANCOCK AND OHIO. WE ARE WATCHING AN OMINOUS LOOKING BOW ECHO JUST N OF PAH...AND THATS TRACKING ENE SO WE FEEL THERE IS STILL A THREAT OF SVR WX EARLY THIS MORNING SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. REST OF FCST UNCHANGED AT THIS TIME. CS PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 519 AM EST SUN MAR 12 2006) MESO UPDATE... STORMS APPEAR TO HAVE ESTABLISHED A SOLID COLD POOL AND ARE CONTINUING TO RIDE NE ALONG/N OF THE OHIO RIVER. TORRENTIAL RAINS CONTINUE AND WE ARE ALREADY GETTING REPORTS OF RENEWED FLOODING PROBLEMS. FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ALREADY ISSUED. LATEST ACARS SOUNDING AT SDF SHOWING LOW LEVEL COLD INVERSION ERODING AS WARM FRONT PUSHES NORTHWARD. WE ISSUED A TOR WARNING FOR JEFF/TRIMBLE COUNTIES EARLIER...BUT THAT CIRCULATION HAS WEAKENED SOMEWHAT SINCE THEN. FOR NOW A MARGINAL HAIL AND GUSTY WIND THREAT SEEMS TO BE THE MAIN MODE OF POTENTIAL SVR WX OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS IN THE LMK CWA. STORMS NOW MOVING INTO CLARK/CRAWFORD/HARRISON COUNTIES IN INDIANA APPEAR THE STRONGEST. WATCHING POTENT STORMS OVER THE PAH CWA MOVING THIS DIRECTION AS WELL. BUSY MORNING TO SAY THE LEAST. PRECIP CHANCES FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS OVER SRN KY ARE MINIMAL. CS PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 244 AM EST SUN MAR 12 2006) MESO UPDATE... BANDS OF TSRA CONTINUE TO CREEP SLOWLY EWD TOWARD THE LMK CWA... NOW JUST ENTERING DUBOIS AND ORANGE COUNTIES IN SRN INDIANA. OVERALL DECREASE IN SVR THREAT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING WITH THESE CELLS IN SW INDIANA...AS THESE STORMS MOVE INTO A MORE ELEVATED ENVIRONMENT PER 0720 UTC ACARS SOUNDING AT SDF. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SVR POTENTIAL...MAINLY FOR HAIL AND WINDS. LOTS OF LIGHTNING REMAINS WITH THESE CELLS. HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING IS OF MORE IMMEDIATE CONCERN AND ONCE RAINS MOVE MORE INTO THESE COUNTIES...WE WILL BE QUICK TO ISSUE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS OVER PARTS OF SRN IND DUE TO SATURATED GROUND CONDITIONS AND TRAINING CELLS UPSTREAM OVER SRN IL/SW IN. CS PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 145 AM EST SUN MAR 12 2006) SHORT TERM (TODAY-TONIGHT)... CURRENT FORECAST REFLECTS EXPECTED WX OVER NEXT 30 HOURS WELL...AND ONLY SLIGHT CHANGES ANTICIPATED WITH MORNING ISSUANCE. EXTENSIVE BAND OF TSRA ONGOING FROM NW OHIO ALL THE WAY BACK INTO ERN OK...WITH EMBEDDED SEVERE/TORNADIC STORMS MOST NOTABLY OVER SRN IL AS OF 04-06 UTC. 00 UTC NAM OMEGA FIELDS CAPTURE THE OVERALL PCPN PATTERNS QUITE WELL AND WILL FOLLOW. WE EXPECT CELLS WITHIN THIS BAND OF TSRA TO CONTINUE TRAINING OFF THE THE NE WITHIN THE 0-6KM MEAN WIND...BUT THERE SHOULD BE A GRADUAL EWD MOTION OF THE OVERALL BAND THROUGH 12 UTC SUNDAY WITH A 700MB UPWARD MOTION AXIS FROM SRN IL INTO SRN IND AND SRN OH AT THAT TIME. WITHIN MOST LLJ... ADDITIONAL (BUT MORE SCT) SHRA WITH THUNDER WILL LIKELY DEVELOP SOUTH OF THAT ORGANIZED BAND THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT INTO SUN MORNING. THROUGH EARLY AFTN TODAY...WE WILL CONTINUE CATEGORICAL POPS OVER MUCH OF THE CWA...WITH POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING HEAVY RAINS/FLOODING OVER THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH AREA. 3HR FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE VERY LOW IN SRN INDIANA WHERE ANOTHER 2-3 INCHES OF RAIN FELL SAT MORNING...SO EVEN .50 TO .75 OF RAIN COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS. AS THESE STORMS HEAD E THEY WILL ENCOUNTER MORE STABILIZED AIRMASS WITH 0445 UTC SDF ACARS SOUNDING SHOWING STABILIZED BOUNDARY LAYER (56F AT THE SFC BUT NEARLY 70F AT 1600FT). HOWEVER WEST OF SFC WARM FRONT (POSITIONED HNB-FTK-SME AS OF 06 UTC) ENOUGH SFC BASED INSTABILITY EXISTS THAT SVR STORMS REMAIN A GOOD POSSIBILITY. WINDS OVER THE CWA HAVE BEEN VEERING TO A MORE SLY DIRECTION PAST COUPLE HOURS... INDICATING THAT WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY LIFT N THROUGH DAYBREAK... ALLOWING MUCH OF THE CWA TO BE IN A WARM SECTOR TYPE AIRMASS. LARGE HAIL AND HIGH WINDS PRIMARY THREATS THROUGH DAYBREAK TODAY...BUT ISLTD TORNADO THREAT COULD BE ENHANCED NEAR THE WARM FRONT OVER SRN IND...GIVEN STORM HISTORIES EARLIER OVER SRN IL. NAM INDICATING THAT MAIN AXIS OF PCPN SHOULD EXIT THE CWA TO THE E/NE BY AROUND OR A LITTLE AFTER 18 UTC/EARLY SUN AFTN. BY 00 UTC...NAM SHOWS A BROAD AREA OF SUBSIDENCE OVER THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY...SO WILL DROP POPS INTO LOW CHC CATEGORY CENTERED ON THAT TIME (LATE AFTN/EARLY EVE SUNDAY). ANOTHER ROUND OF SVR TSRA LOOKS TO DEVELOP OVER MO/IL/AR BY THAT TIME (SPC HIGH RISK AREA)...BASED ON THE CAPE/SHEAR DISTRIBUTIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH PASSING UPPER TROF. NAM OMEGA PATTERNS SUGGEST THAT THIS CONVECTION WOULD ORGANIZE INTO A BROKEN LINE OF STORMS AND DROP ESE INTO THE LMK CWA...AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT. FCST 700MB RH FIELDS SHOW A FAIR AMT OF DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT POTENTIAL INTO THESE STORMS OVERNIGHT...SUGGESTIVE OF AN ENHANCED DAMAGING WIND THREAT FOR THE CWA. SQ LINE WOULD LIKELY BE INTO THE CNTRL SECTIONS OF THE CWA BY 12 UTC MONDAY. HVY RAIN THREAT REMAINS TONIGHT...ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WOULD QUICKLY CAUSE FLOODING ISSUES OVER SRN IND/NC KY...SO WILL EXTEND THE FLOOD WATCH IN ITS CURRENT GEOGRAPHICAL CONFIGURATION UNTIL 12 UTC MONDAY. REGARDING TEMPERATURES...WITH CWA EXPECTED TO BE SOLIDLY IN THE WARM SECTOR...CONTINUED FCST OF MID/UPPER 70S THIS AFTN OVER NEARLY THE WHOLE AREA. THIS IS PREDICATED ON WIDESPREAD PCPN NOT EXISTING THIS AFTN AND SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER. WITH 10 TO 20 MPH SOUTHERLIES CONTINUING THIS EVE...TEMPS WILL LIKELY FALL SLOWLY. LOWS IN THE LOWER 60S WEST/UPPER 50S EAST SOUNDS REASONABLE AT THIS TIME. CS LONG TERM (MONDAY-SATURDAY)... MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT... THE DEEP TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN STATES WILL FINALLY LIFT OUT EARLY MONDAY AS BACK EDGE OF A STRONG JET ROUNDS THE BASE AND MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE LAST OF A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL EJECT ONTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS WILL QUICKLY EJECT LOW PRESSURE WHICH WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS ILLINOIS AND TOWARD THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES EARLY MONDAY. THE SOUTHERN OHIO RIVER VALLEY WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR EARLY MONDAY...WITH A COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO EXTEND FROM NORTHERN ILLINOIS THROUGH MISSOURI AT 12Z. THIS FRONT WILL RAPIDLY MOVE SOUTHEAST... CROSSING THE OHIO RIVER DURING THE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING HOURS. INSTABILITY MONDAY AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WILL DEPEND ON THE FRONTS TIMING...BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY...ON THE NATURE OF OVERNIGHT CONVECTION LATE SUNDAY OR EARLY MONDAY. ONE OR MORE LINES OF STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND WESTERN KENTUCKY DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...POSSIBLY MOVING ACROSS OUR CWA DURING THE MORNING HOURS. SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY MAY NOT RECOVER FROM MORNING CONVECTION. WITH DISTINCT LINEAR FORCING AND STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS WIND DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE MONDAY...EITHER FROM ANY INITIAL SQUALL LINE ARRIVING IN THE MORNING...OR REDEVELOPMENT OF STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL ARRIVE OVERNIGHT MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE MISSOURI VALLEY. ANY LEFT-OVER POST FRONTAL SHOWERS WILD EXIT KENTUCKY BY LATE MONDAY EVENING...ALTHOUGH SKIES SHOULD REMAIN CLOUDY WITH WRAP-AROUND LOW STRATUS. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY... HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS WILL DIMINISH LATE TUESDAY AND BECOME LIGHT BEFORE SWITCHING TO LIGHT SOUTHERLY WEDNESDAY. EXPECT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES. THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT... LIMITED MOISTURE WILL RETURN AHEAD OF FAST MOVING UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS INDIANA LATE THURSDAY. HAVE MAINTAINED CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY... STRONG CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST BY BOTH THE ECWMF AND THE GFS FRIDAY.

A SUBSTANTIAL BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER SOUTHERN PARTS OF INDIANA AND INTO NORTHERN PARTS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND THE BLUEGRASS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE DUE TO THE HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE TRAINING OF CELLS OVER THE SAME AREAS. A FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHERN INDIANA AND PARTS OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY NORTH OF A HANCOCK TO HARRISON COUNTY LINE. HERE THE GROUND IS SATURATED...AND ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO RENEWED FLOODING PROBLEMS. ALREADY WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS ONGOING OVER SOUTHERN INDIANA. THESE MORNING STORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING...SMALL HAIL...AND GUSTY WINDS. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND HIGH WINDS ARE POSSIBLE DURING THE MORNING HOURS SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER AND WEST OF I-65. A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT ALONG AND WEST OF A TELL CITY TO BEAVER DAM LINE THROUGH MID-MORNING.

DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT...ALONG WITH MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL BEING POSSIBLE WITHIN THE STRONGER CELLS. ISOLATED TORNADOES MAY BE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LINE AS WELL. THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS WEST OF A FRANKFORT TO BOWLING GREEN LINE WHERE A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS HAS BEEN FORECAST BY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER. IN ADDITION THESE STORMS COULD DROP ANOTHER INCH OR SO OF RAINFALL... POSSIBLY CREATING ADDITIONAL FLOODING AND RUNOFF PROBLEMS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THERE IS A CHANCE OF ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. THIS WILL DEPEND HIGHLY ON WHETHER OR NOT THE ATMOSPHERE CAN DESTABILIZE IN THE WAKE OF MORNING SHOWERS AND STORMS. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP MONDAY AFTERNOON MAY BECOME SEVERE...
