AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1249 PM EST SAT DEC 15 2007

.UPDATE (ISSUED AT 1249 PM EST)...

SOME SMALL POCKETS OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN STILL ONGOING AS
TEMPERATURES HOVER AROUND THE FREEZING MARK...MOSTLY ACROSS SOUTHERN
INDIANA AND PORTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL KENTUCKY. HAVE ISSUED A SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THIS AS WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT ICE
ACCUMULATION NO LONGER EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. PRECIPITATION STILL
SHOULD CHANGE ALL OVER TO RAIN WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS IN
THESE AREAS.

RAINFALL OF AROUND TO OVER 1.00 INCH HAS ALREADY FALLEN TODAY ACROSS
MUCH OF THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WITH FLOOD
ADVISORIES BEING POSTED FOR BRECKINRIDGE...MEADE...HANCOCK...OHIO AND
PERRY COUNTIES IN KENTUCKY. WITH AROUND AN INCH OF LIQUID ALREADY
ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND MORE TO OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON HAVE
EXTENDED FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE SOUTHERN INDIANA
COUNTIES.

ADDITIONAL UPDATES ISSUED AS NECESSARY. MANY THANKS TO
SPOTTERS...LOCAL MEDIA AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR CONTINUED
WEATHER REPORTS TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

.UPDATE (ISSUED AT 1111 AM EST)...

PRECIPITATION ALMOST ALL RAIN ACROSS THE CWA NOW WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE FAR NORTHERN ZONES...WHERE SOME MIX IS STILL OCCURRING. THIS
INCLUDES THE INDIANA COUNTIES OF WASHINGTON...SCOTT...ORANGE AND
JEFFERSON. THE GRADUAL TRANSITION TO ALL LIQUID PRECIPITATION SHOULD
OCCUR IN THESE COUNTIES WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. THOUGH FROZEN
PRECIP IS NO LONGER OCCURRING ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA...LOCATIONS THAT SAW SOME ICE ACCUMULATION WILL CONTINUE TO SEE
HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS UNTIL THE ICE IS MELTED OFF BY RAINFALL.
WITH FROZEN PRECIPITATION NO LONGER A THREAT FOR ANYWHERE IN THE
ADVISORY AREA AFTER NOON...WILL BE LETTING WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
PRODUCTS EXPIRE AS PLANNED AT NOON.

NEXT ISSUE FOR TODAY WILL BE LOCALIZED FLOODING WITH UP TO TWO
INCHES OF LIQUID MOISTURE SEEN ALREADY ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH
CENTRAL KENTUCKY...ESPECIALLY PERRY COUNTY INDIANA...AND HANCOCK AND
BRECKENRIDGE...OHIO AND MEADE COUNTIES. WILL LIKELY NEED SOME AREAL
FLOOD WARNINGS FOR SOME OF THESE AREAS THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL BE
LOOKING AT THIS MORE CLOSELY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

UPDATED PRECIPITATION TOTALS TO BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY IN THE LOCAL
NEWS SECTION OF NWS LOUISVILLE WEB PAGE AT WEATHER.GOV/LOUISVILLE.

.UPDATE (ISSUED AT 932 AM EST SAT)...

WIDESPREAD FROZEN PRECIPITATION OCCURRING ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN
INDIANA AND MUCH OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY THIS MORNING AS COLD SURFACE
AIR IS BEING OVERRUN BY WARMER AIR ALOFT. MOST LOCATIONS ARE SEEING
A SLEET/FREEZING RAIN MIX THAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS BEFORE SURFACE AIR WARMS UP AND CHANGES ALL PRECIPITATION
TO RAIN. ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE NORTHERN TIER OF INDIANA
COUNTIES IN THE CWA...INCLUDING DUBOIS...ORANGE...WASHINGTON...SCOTT
AND JEFFERSON WHERE SNOW IS THE DOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE THIS
MORNING. CHANGEOVER WILL BE MUCH SLOWER THERE...AND AN ADDITIONAL
INCH OR SO OF SNOW MAY BE POSSIBLE BEFORE THAT OCCURS.

ALREADY EXPANDED ADVISORY THIS MORNING TO THE EAST AS FAR SOUTH AS
MADISON COUNTY AND APPRECIATE NUMEROUS REPORTS FROM LOCAL
MEDIA...SPOTTERS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ACROSS EAST CENTRAL KENTUCKY
THAT HELPED IN THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS.

ICE ACCUMULATION ON ROADWAYS THE BIGGEST CONCERN THIS MORNING AND
PERSONS SHOULD LIMIT THEMSELVES TO NECESSARY TRAVEL ACROSS THE
REGION AS NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON INTERSTATES AND
LOCAL ROADS ACROSS THE REGION.

PRECIPITATION CHANGE OVER TO RAIN MAY TAKE AN HOUR OR TWO LONGER
THAN PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED...BUT ENDING TIME FOR ADVISORIES OF NOON
EST STILL SEEMS ON TRACK AT THIS TIME.  HOWEVER...IT IS IMPORTANT TO
KNOW THAT TRAVEL CONDITIONS WILL STILL BE HAZARDOUS FOR A COUPLE
HOURS AFTER CHANGE OVER OCCURS SINCE TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE
HOVERING NEAR THE FREEZING MARK AND ICE ON ROADWAYS WILL TAKE SOME
TIME TO MELT.

SHOULD HAVE A COMPILED LIST OF PRECIPITATION REPORTS OUT LATE THIS
MORNING/EARLY THIS AFTERNOON (SHOOTING FOR BETWEEN 11AM AND NOON
EST).

WILL ISSUE ANOTHER UPDATE IN AN HOUR OR SO TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION ON WHERE FROZEN/NON-FROZEN PRECIPITATION LINE IS.
UPDATES TO ZONES ON THE WAY SHORTLY TO INCLUDE UPDATED HEADLINES AND
SNOW AMOUNTS FOR SOUTH CENTRAL INDIANA.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH TOMORROW)...

SFC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SPINNING UP OVER ERN TX/WRN LA AT 10Z THIS
MORNING WITH ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE TX
PANHANDLE. MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THESE SYNOPTIC
FEATURES. THE 6Z NAM HAS THE BEST HANDLE ON PRECIP FIELD WITH
OTHER MODEL RUNS BEING TOO SLOW AS THIS SYSTEM HAS REALLY STARTED
PUMPING THE GULF MOISTURE INTO THE AREA THIS MORNING. WILL JUMP
ONTO EARLIER PRECIP TIMING THIS MORNING ADJUSTING POPS TO AN
EARLIER TRANSITION.

AS FOR PRECIP TYPE...BELIEVE AREAS COULD SEE A SN/SLEET/FZRA MIX
THIS MORNING AS TEMP HOVER IN THE LOW TO MID 30S. BELIEVE AREAS
SOUTH OF A LINE SOUTH OF MORGANTOWN TO MUNFORDVILLE TO JAMESTOWN
WILL ONLY SEE MOSTLY RAIN THIS MORNING WITH MAYBE A FEW SNOW
FLAKES...ICE PELLETS...OR FREEZING RAIN OCCURING AT PRECIP ONSET.

HAVE ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR A LINE NORTH OF AN OHIO
COUNTY...TO LARUE COUNTY...TO HENRY COUNTY THIS MORNING AS TEMP
PROFILE SHOULD SUPPORT A MIX OF FROZEN PRECIP DURING THE MORNING
HOURS MAKING TRAVEL HAZARDOUS. CURRENT THINKING SEEMS TO BE ON TRACK
AS LIGHT RAIN LOOKS TO BE CHANGING OVER TO FREEZING RAIN/SLEET AND
EVEN SOME SNOW JUST WEST OF FORECAST AREA (FA) OVER WERN KENTUCKY
AND SRN IL. ONLY EXPECTING MINOR ACCUMULATIONS UP TO AN INCH.

PRECIP EXPECTED TO CHANGE OVER TO ALL RAIN BY EARLY AFTERNOON.
FLOOD WATCH STILL IN EFFECT AS A GOOD 1 TO 2 INCHES OF QPF EXPECT
WITH THIS SYSTEM. MODELS STILL SUPPORTIVE OF HEAVY RAINFALL AS SFC
LOW MOVES CLOSER TO FA THIS AFTERNOON INCREASING FORCING.

AS THE SFC LOW MOVES NE TOWARD OHIO TONIGHT...COLD AIR WILL FILTER
IN ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW CHANGING PRECIP BACK TO SNOW. AT
THIS POINT EXPECT SOME MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ESPECIALLY OVER
THE NORTHERN THIRD OF FA. HAVE NOT ISSUED AN ADVISORY AT THIS
POINT. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT DECIDE BASED ON SYSTEM EVOLUTION AND
12Z MODEL GUIDANCE.

SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL STICK AROUND ON SUNDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES REMAINING STEADY OR FALLING THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS
COLD TROUGH AS CAA LIMIT HIGHS FOR SUN TO THE LOW 30S.

VERY USEFUL COORDINATION BY PHONE WITH JKL...ILN AND PAH CONCERNING
ADVISORY AND FLOOD WATCH.

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...

MUCH OF THE FORECAST EFFORT TONIGHT WAS INVOLVED WITH DEALING WITH
THE STORM SYSTEM THAT EXITS OUR REGION ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.
SO ONLY MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FIRST PART OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD...MOSTLY JUST MINOR TWEAKS WITH CLOUD AND TEMP TRENDS...
ADDED A MENTION OF SW--- ON SUNDAY NIGHT TOO. --21

PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION BELOW:

QUIET WEATHER PATTERN MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS PRIMARILY
ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPS OVER THE CENTRAL US...WITH DRY WEATHER AND
SLOWLY MODERATING TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE CWA. KEPT TREND OF
SOMEWHAT COOLER THAN GUIDANCE TEMPS MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT
ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT MIGHT SEE SOME LINGERING SNOW COVER FROM
THE WEEKEND STORM SYSTEM.

UPPER TROUGH DEVELOPS TO OUR WEST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND MOVES INTO THE
AREA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THIS WILL BRING OUR NEXT SHOT OF
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION AND HAVE ADDED SOME CHANCE POPS TO THE
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT PERIODS WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.
UNCERTAINTY AS TO TIMING THE TROUGH THROUGH...SO LINGERING POPS INTO
FRIDAY SEEMS THE WAY TO GO AT THIS TIME. GFS MODEL BRINGS MUCH
COOLER AIR INTO KENTUCKY FOR FRIDAY AT THIS TIME...BUT TOO FAR OUT
AT THIS TIME AND THINGS ARE TOO UNCERTAIN TO GRAB ONTO SIGNIFICANT
COLDER AIR. HAVE OPTED FOR NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL HIGHS...OR
SLIGHTLY BELOW HPC GUIDANCE VALUES.

&&

.AVIATION (18Z TAFS)...

PLENTY OF CONCERN THIS FORECAST PERIOD BUT BIGGEST PROBLEM AT THE
MOMENT IS PERSISTENCE OF FREEZING PRECIP AT LEX.  EAST WINDS HAVE
HINDERED WARMING ABOVE 32 WHERE IT HAS BEEN STUCK THE PAST SEVERAL
HOURS. HOWEVER...MORE SOUTHERLY WINDS ALOFT AT LEX ARE ADVECTING
WARMER AIR IN AND THIS WILL EVENTUALLY ALLOW PRECIPITATION TO STAY
LIQUID THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. NEXT
TRANSITION SHOULD BE IN OVERNIGHT HOURS AS SWITCHOVER TO SNOW OCCURS
AS COLDER AIR SWINGS IN ALOFT.

VSBY AND CIGS WILL BE IFR TO LIFR UNTIL WELL AFTER 06Z.  THERE IS
THE CHANCE OF CIGS RISING TO MVFR LEVELS AS COLDER...DRIER AIR COMES
IN...THO CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH IN THIS HAPPENING.  BETTER CHANCE IS
FOR VSBYS TO RISE TO MVFR WITH LESS PCPN DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS
BULK OF MOISTURE EXITS TO THE NORTHEAST.

.LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
KY...FLOOD WATCH FROM 6 AM EST /5 AM CST/ THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING FOR
     ALL OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY.

...HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND
SOUTHERN INDIANA THIS MORNING...

REPORTS FROM BOTH OFFICIAL AND VOLUNTEER SOURCES THROUGHOUT
CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA INDICATE A MULTITUDE OF
WINTER PRECIPITATION CONDITIONS OCCURRING THIS MORNING. FREEZING
RAIN...SLEET...AND SNOW WERE OCCURRING IN MANY LOCATIONS NORTH OF
THE BLUEGRASS PARKWAY IN KENTUCKY...THOUGH LOCATIONS AS FAR NORTH
AS THE OHIO RIVER IN OLDHAM COUNTY WERE STILL SEEING LIQUID
RAINFALL.

NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER...SNOW AND SLEET WERE THE MOST COMMON
FORMS OF PRECIPITATION. 2 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW WAS REPORTED NEAR
NEW PEKIN IN WASHINGTON COUNTY...WITH AN INCH OF SLUSHY SNOW ON
THE ROADS NEAR ENGLISH IN CRAWFORD COUNTY.

YOU ARE ..STRONGLY.. URGED TO DELAY ANY UNNECESSARY TRAVEL THIS
MORNING IN NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN INDIANA.

WHILE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO WARM EVER SO SLIGHTLY DURING
THE DAY...SLICK ROADS WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS
DRIVING CONDITIONS THROUGH AT LEAST MID DAY. NUMEROUS TRAFFIC
ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED...AND MORE ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR. THE
SAFEST WAY TO AVOID BEING IN ONE OF THEM IS TO STAY OFF THE ROADS
UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE.
