Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 10:47 AM CST, 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 1247 PM EDT MON JUN 22 2009 .UPDATE... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 490 AS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALLEN...BARREN...CLINTON...CUMBERLAND...METCALFE...MONROE AND RUSSELL COUNTIES IN KENTUCKY UNTIL 00Z. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE AREA WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF STRENGTHENING WITH SOME ISOLATED CELLS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE LINE. THERE WILL BE A SHORT WINDOW OF POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND SMALL HAIL BEFORE THE STORMS MOVE INTO TN OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. FURTHER WEST ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING AND THIS AREA WILL BE MONITORED FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL. OTHERWISE...LITTLE IF ANY REDEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME BEHIND THIS LINE OF STORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY. .SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)... LITTLE MOVEMENT IS EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND THE DEEP LOW OFF THE EAST COAST. CONSEQUENTLY...THE BOUNDARY WHICH HAS BEEN STRETCHED FROM GENERALLY NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY. SHOWERS THIS MORNING LOOK TO CONTINUE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. EXPECT THAT WITH DAYTIME HEATING THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO WANE IN THE EVENING WITH ONLY SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE HOT AND HUMID AGAIN TODAY...WITH HIGHS LOOKING TO BE MUCH THE SAME AS YESTERDAY. THIS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER HOWEVER. REGARDLESS...WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S OVER THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S...HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE AROUND 100 DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS IN THIS AREA. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE LOWER 70S. .LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)... SAME SONG DIFFERENT VERSE IN THE EXTENDED THIS ISSUANCE. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WEAK IMPULSES IN NORTHWEST FLOW ON LEADING EDGE OF RIDGE WILL GENERATE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS...THOUGH LITTLE AGREEMENT AMONG MODELS ON TIMING AND LOCATION OF THESE. CURRENT DRY FORECAST FROM 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY MAY BE A BIT OPTIMISTIC GIVEN THE INHERENT UNCERTAINTY OF NORTHWEST FLOW...BUT WITH NO CLEAR CUT FOCUS FOR CONVECTION DURING THE PERIOD WILL LEAVE AS IS RATHER THAN SHOTGUN LOW POPS OVER THE AREA. WITH NO INDICATION OF WHOLESALE CHANGE OF AIRMASS IN PLACE OVER THE AREA...PERSISTENCE IS THE BEST ROUTE TO TAKE FOR TEMPERATURE FORECAST. MOS DEWPOINT AND MIN TEMP FORECASTS FOR WED MORNING ARE NICE TO LOOK AT...BUT DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WEAK SURFACE GRADIENT WILL PRODUCE ENOUGH WIND TO PUSH UPPER 50 DEWPOINTS INTO LEX AND SDF ALA NAM. EVEN GFS MOS NUMBERS IN THE MID 60S APPEAR TOO OPTIMISTIC...SO WILL STAY ON WARM SIDE OF GUIDANCE FOR MINS...WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF 70...FOR EACH DAY. A LITTLE TRICKIER ON THE MAX TEMPS DEPENDING UPON CLOUDS...BUT A MEAN...MEDIAN...AND MODE OF 90 SHOULD SUFFICE. && .AVIATION (12Z TAFS)... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE INITIATED ALONG THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY ORIENTED NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. EXPECT THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY TODAY AND INTO THIS EVENING. BWG LOOKS TO REMAIN AWAY FROM THIS ACTIVITY FOR THE MORNING HOURS BUT WILL HAVE STORMS INITIATE LATER IN THE DAY. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE VFR RANGE EXCEPT IN THUNDERSTORMS WHERE BRIEF HEAVY RAIN...LOW CEILINGS...AND LOW VISIBILITIES. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
