NWS Louisville, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 28, 1:14 PM CST, 3 hours 31 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 314 PM EDT THU JUN 28 2007 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND FRIDAY)... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON-GOING THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT AS A WEAK COOL FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION. THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON WAS STILL WELL TO OUR NORTH IN THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES...AND WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHWARD TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE LMK CWFA FRIDAY MORNING. IT SHOULD BE JUST SOUTH OF THE TENNESSEE BORDER BY EARLY AFTERNOON TOMORROW. BEST DEEP LAYER RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL COME LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING WITH IMPRESSIVE PRECIPITABLE WATER AMOUNTS OF 1.8 TO 2 INCHES AND SURFACE DEW POINTS AROUND 70 DEGREES. AS A RESULT SHOWERS AND STORMS LOOK LIKELY TONIGHT. AS SEEN PREVIOUSLY OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL GENERATE LOCALLY TORRENTIAL RAINFALL. IF ANY TRAINING OCCURS A FEW SELECT LOCATIONS COULD RECEIVE SOME IMPRESSIVE AMOUNTS OF RAIN. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE IN A LARGE-SCALE DROUGHT...VERY LOCALIZED WATER PROBLEMS COULD STILL CROP UP TONIGHT AS WAS SEEN THIS MORNING IN BARREN COUNTY WHERE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN FELL OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF HOURS. WHILE AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT THIS AFTERNOON...ANYTHING SEVERE WOULD LIKELY BE THE RESULT OF LOCAL INTER-STORM MECHANICS. A LACK OF DRY AIR ALOFT...LOW MDPI NUMBERS...HIGH FREEZING LEVELS...WEAK MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AND MODEST INSTABILITY SHOULD KEEP MOST STORMS BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE BIGGER CONCERN. SPEAKING OF STORMS...REMEMBER THIS IS LIGHTNING SAFETY WEEK. SEE HTTP://WWW.LIGHTNINGSAFETY.NOAA.GOV. WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR TOMORROW WITH THE FRONT IN THE VICINITY...BUT WILL TAPER POPS OFF FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS THE FRONT CROSSES THROUGH. AIR TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES LOWER TOMORROW LEADING TO MORE COMFORTABLE CONDITIONS. 13 .LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)... FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT... IN GENERAL THE MAIN WESTERLIES STORM TRACK IS EXPECTED TO HOLD WELL TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE OHIO VALLEY REGION DURING THIS EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD. TO VARYING DEGREES...THE LONG RANGE MODEL DATA INDICATE A WESTWARD RETROGRESSION OF THE MEAN 500MB FLOW PATTERN. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO A BRIEF COOLDOWN INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... THE WESTERN NOAM RIDGE REBUILDS A BIT FURTHER TO THE WEST AND THEN EXTENDS TO THE EAST AND FORCES THE EASTERN CANADA VORTEX OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS IN TURN WILL ALLOW A RETURN TO THE MORE HOT AND SOMEWHAT HUMID WEATHER AGAIN WITH THE INITIAL WARMUP ON SUNDAY. IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT ANY GOOD PCPN CHANCES FOR THE EXTENDED TERM. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE CNTRL U.S. LATE IN THE PERIOD AND RESULT IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSTMS ON THURSDAY. TEMPS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S ON SATURDAY...INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S ON SUNDAY AND UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S TO FOR MUCH IF NOT ALL OF THE NEXT WORKWEEK. --21 .AVIATION (18Z TAFS)... THUNDERSTORMS ARE WELL UNDERWAY IN THE LEXINGTON AREA AND WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE IN COVERAGE AT SDF. THUS...I HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR VICINITY THUNDER AT THOSE LOCATIONS AND TRIED TO PINPOINT PREVAILING TSRA AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE CAPABLE OF VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS OVER SMALL AREAS...WHERE ONE PART OF TOWN MAY DROP TO IFR OR EVEN LIFR CONDITIONS FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME WHILE ANOTHER PART OF TOWN REMAINS VFR. IMPOSSIBLE TO FORECAST THAT EXACTLY...SO TRIED TO SUGGEST LOWER VSBYS/CIGS WITH TEMPOS IN THE MVFR CATEGORY. IF IT APPEARS AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP AT A TAF SITE WILL AMEND ASAP. CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN MORE SCATTERED AT BOWLING GREEN. SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT BUT IN THE TAFS I HIT THE STORMS HARDEST DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS STILL POSSIBLE TOMORROW MORNING AS A VERY WEAK FRONT SLIPS SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION. MVFR FOG AGAIN A POSSIBILITY. 13 && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
