NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 5, 11:12 PM EST, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 1112 PM EST TUE FEB 5 2008 .SHORT TERM.../THE REST OF TONIGHT/...UPDATED FORECAST PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK FOR TONIGHT. HOURLY TEMPERATURES AT SOMERSET...MONTICELLO...AND A FEW OTHER LOCATIONS IN SOUTHWEST COUNTIES HAVE BEEN SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER THAN FORECAST TONIGHT...SO ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE THERE. INCREASED THE RANGE OF TEMPERATURES FOR OUR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES BY A DEGREE OR TWO AS WELL. REST OF FORECAST WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. ALSO REMOVED OUTDATED TIMING WORDING FROM THE FIRST PERIOD OF THE ZONES AS WELL...WITH MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT WEATHER FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA UNTIL AFTER 4 AM. LATEST SURFACE OBS INDICATING DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S ACROSS ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ALONG WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW. THE WINDS ARE ACTUALLY BEGINNING TO SHIFT AROUND TO THE SOUTHWEST BASED ON THE MOST CURRENT OB...SO DEWPOINTS COULD INCREASE A BIT AS THE NIGHT GOES ON. A 60 KT LOW LEVEL JET WILL ALSO BE MAKING ITS WAY OVER EASTERN KENTUCKY TOWARD DAWN...SO CONDITIONS ARE STILL PRIMED FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA. THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/ FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM CONTINUES TO BE THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING SLOWER WITH THE FRONT...ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SEEMED TO STABILIZED ON THE PAST RUN OR TWO. STILL SOME DISAGREEMENT IN THE DETAILS THOUGH. SOME SCATTERED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS EVENING...THEN AFTER MIDNIGHT A SQUALL LINE SHOULD APPROACH FROM THE WEST. THINK THE MAIN THREAT WITH THIS LINE WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS. THE BEST TORNADO THREAT REMAINS TO THE WEST OF OUR CWA. THINK THE LINE OF CONVECTION WILL BE PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH THAT WIDESPREAD FLOODING SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. HOWEVER IF THINGS ARE LESS PROGRESSIVE...AND HEAVY RAINFALL IS PROLONGED...A FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEEDED. FELL ATTM THOUGH THAT THERE MAY BE SOME LOCALIZED HIGH WATER IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS...BUT THERE IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT THREAT OF FLOODING ATTM. WILL BE MONITORING THE HYDRO SITUATION CLOSELY HOWEVER. A 70-75 KT H8 JET MOVES ACROSS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT...WHICH WILL KEEP THUNDERSTORMS GOING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT WELL INTO THE NIGHT. EXPECTING THE SQUALL LINE TO REACH THE I 75 CORRIDOR AFTER 3 AM...BETWEEN I 75 AND US 23 TOWARDS DAWN...AND EAST OF US 23 AFTER SUNRISE. LI/S DROP TO -2...CAPES RISE TO AROUND 500 J/KG...AND SHOWALTERS DROP TO -1 TO -2 OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS...COMBINED WITH AMPLE SHEAR WILL MAINTAIN THE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING. SOME GUSTS TO 45 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE OUTSIDE OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS LATE TONIGHT...WITH GUSTS UP TO 55 MPH POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY AFTER FROPA WITH STRONG WINDS ALOFT BEING MIXED TO THE GROUND. WILL BE ISSUING A WIND ADVISORY FROM 5 AM WEDNESDAY THROUGH 7 PM WEDNESDAY FOR THIS. THIS WILL BE A HIGH END ADVISORY...ESPECIALLY ON WEDNESDAY. IT MAY BE CLOSE TO HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. COULD BE A FEW SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A VORT MAX SWINGS THROUGH. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR THURSDAY BRINGING DRY WEATHER. .LONG TERM.../THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/ A BROAD TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE OVER MOST OF THE CONUS EARLY IN THE PERIOD. AT THAT TIME...AN EMBEDDED SW/V SHOULD BE MOVING INTO THE OH VALLEY AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES. A SERIES OF SW/VS ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND...THE FIRST ON FRI NIGHT AND EARLY SAT...WITH A MORE POTENT SW/V DROPPING DOWN THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OH VALLEY LATER ON SAT AND INTO SAT NIGHT. THIS WILL SHARPEN UP AN EASTERN US THROUGH AND SEND MUCH COLDER AIR INTO THE REGION BRIEFLY OVER THE WEEKEND INTO VERY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL ON MON...WITH A SW/V ROTATING THROUGH THE FOUR CORNERS AND CLOSING OFF OVER TX LATE IN THE PERIOD. MEANWHILE...A NORTHERN STREAM TROUGH SHOULD BE MOVING INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY. AT THE SFC...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON FRI NIGHT INTO EARLY SAT...WITH A MORE POWERFUL ARCTIC COLD SAT AFTERNOON INTO SAT EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA TO END THE WEEKEND AND TO START THE NEW WEEK. A NORTHERN STREAM BOUNDARY SHOULD REACH DOWN INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND THE OH VALLEY ON TUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LATE IN THE PERIOD NORTHERN STREAM THROUGH. SFC DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE FURTHER SOUTH ON THE BOUNDARY OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY AS THE SW/V MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. LIMITED MOISTURE SHOULD RETURN NORTH...SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY LATE IN THE PERIOD. WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS DURING SEVERAL PERIODS. THE FIRST WITH THE SW/V ON THU NIGHT INTO EARLY FRI...THE SECOND ON FRI NIGHT INTO SAT...WITH THE LEAD COLD FRONT AND CONTINUING INTO SAT NIGHT WITH THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY. BELOW NORMAL TEMPS ARE EXPECTED ON SAT NIGHT THROUGH MON. TEMPS MAY STRUGGLE TO REACH 30 DEGREES IN MANY AREAS ON SUN AS 850 MB TEMPS BRIEFLY FALL AT LEAST INTO THE TEENS BELOW 0C. AS FOR PRECIP TYPE...TEMPS SHOULD BE COLD ENOUGH LATE THU NIGHT AND INTO EARLY FRI AM AND LATE FRI NIGHT INTO EARLY SAT AM FOR SNOW TO MIX WITH RAIN. AS COLDER AIR FILTERS IN BEHIND THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY...THE PRECIP TYPE SHOULD BECOME ALL SNOW. LATE IN THE PERIOD...PRECIP TYPE APPEARS TO BE PRIMARILY RAIN AS TEMPS MODERATE. && .AVIATION.../00Z TO 24Z/ WEATHER IS BASICALLY VFR AS MOST SHRA HAVE MOVED NORTH OF THE OH RVR. THE FEW LINGERING SHRA IN OUR NRN COUNTIES ARE ONLY PROVIDING LIMITED PCPN. SEVERE TSRA WATCH OVER WRN KY HAS SEVERAL VERY STRONG STORMS MOVING TO THE NE AT AROUND 35-40 MPH. BEST JET DYNAMICS LOCATED ALSO IN WRN KY. SSW SFC WINDS SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT WITH THE NOCTURNAL INVERSION WILL PROVIDE THE ELEVATED SURFACE FOR WIND SHEAR. THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY ISOLATED THUNDER WILL REMAIN NORTH OF INTERSTATE 64. WILL CONTINUE TO ONLY MENTION VCSH WITH A CB GROUP DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...UNTIL THE MAIN SQUALL LINE ARRIVES 10Z- 13Z AT THE TAF SITES. WENT WITH TWO TO THREE HOURS OF THUNDER...WITH GUSTY WINDS. THESE STORMS COULD POSSIBLY BE SEVERE WITH GUSTY WINDS THE THREAT. ONCE STORMS PASS...STRONGER WINDS FROM ALOFT SHOULD MIX DOWN WITH GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
