NWS Louisville, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 6:07 PM EST, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 707 PM EDT SUN JUN 13 2010 ...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)... GIVEN THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THE MODELS RECENTLY IN SOUTHERN INDIANA AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND WITH THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN CHANGING VERY LITTLE HAVE GONE WITH A PERSISTENCE FORECAST FOR THIS SHORT TERM. MESOETA WANTS TO BREAK DOWN THE UPPER RIDGE TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY TOMORROW...BUT THIS IS LIKELY OVERDONE. THE GFS SOLUTION KEEPING THE UPPER RIDGE INTACT AND THE QUASI-STATIONARY EAST-WEST PLAINS/LAKES SURFACE TROF TO OUR NORTH SEEMS MORE PLAUSIBLE. THIS WILL KEEP US IN THE SAME WEATHER REGIME THAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...WITH A WARM MUGGY NIGHT TONIGHT...HOT AND STICKY AGAIN TOMORROW...AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SCATTERED STORMS ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL GO ABOVE GUIDANCE FOR LOWS TONIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES BOTTOMING OUT GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE 70S. SKIES SHOULD BE MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY WITH HIGH SURFACE RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND LIGHT WINDS. COULD HAVE A FEW EVENING THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL. TOMORROW WILL SEE HIGHS ONCE AGAIN AROUND THE LOWER 90S AND HEAT INDEX READINGS IN THE 100 TO 104 DEGREE RANGE. MESOETA WANTS TO GENERATE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY GENERATED BY OVERNIGHT PLAINS MCS ACTIVITY...AND BRING THIS STORMINESS INTO THE LMK CWA MONDAY AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE MESOETA/S BEHAVIOR OF BREAKING THE SOUTHEAST RIDGE DOWN TO QUICKLY WILL LEAN AWAY FROM THIS SOLUTION...AND MORE TOWARD THE GFS IDEA OF ANOTHER DAY OF GENERAL POP-UP STORMS IN THE MOIST UNSTABLE AFTERNOON AIR. .LONG TERM (MONDAY NIGHT - SUNDAY)... LITTLE CHANGE FOR THE WEEK AHEAD AS HOT AND HUMID REMAIN THE KEY WORDS THIS FORECAST PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE AREA...THOUGH SEVERAL SHORT WAVES WILL SLIDE OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES DURING THE WEEK...PROVIDING FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM GENERATION AS THEY DO. THESE WAVES WILL LIKELY SHOW UP ON OUR DOORSTEP IN THE FORM OF DECAYING MCS' EJECTING OUT OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. BECAUSE THESE ARE ELUSIVE FOR THE MODELS TO ACCOUNT THE SHORT TERM...LET ALONE THE LONG ONE...THERE IS POOR AGREEMENT IN THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE SHORT WAVES TO MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHEAST U.S. DURING THE WEEK. THE MOST CONFIDENT STATEMENT TO BE MADE IS THAT THE BETTER CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD PRECIP WILL BE NORTH RATHER THAN SOUTH. ALL GUIDANCE HINTS AT A WEAK COLD FRONT TEASING THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY BEFORE WASHING OUT AND GIVING WAY TO A WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW AGAIN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. THE FRONT SHOULD PROVIDE THE BEST CHANCE FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION...WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK LOOKING AT PRIMARILY POPCORN-LIKE DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. IN THE ABSENCE OF AN MCS...ANY STORMS THAT OCCUR WILL BE WEAK TO MARGINAL AT BEST...WITH HEAVY RAIN THE GREATEST THREAT DUE TO THE HIGH FREEZING LEVEL AND WEAK STEERING WINDS. THE GREATEST THREAT FOR THE WEEK WILL BE HEAT INDICES. WHILE THESE SHOULD REMAIN BELOW THE ADVISORY LEVEL OF 105 FOR THE MOST PART...AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL PREVENT MUCH RELIEF AT NIGHT AS TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE 70 THROUGH THE PERIOD. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL VARY LITTLE ACROSS THE AREA...RANGING FROM THE UPPER 80S TO THE MID 90S DEPENDING UPON CLOUD COVER. && .AVIATION (00Z TAF ISSUANCE)... SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD ON TO VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD HOWEVER A FEW CONCERNS ADDRESS. FIRST OF ALL...SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL MO/IL/IN THAT HAS FIRED ALONG A QUASI STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD STAY NORTH OF THE AREA. THAT BEING SAID...A FEW SHOWERS HAVE POPPED UP JUST SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER AND CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT ANY SHOWER IMPACTING A TERMINAL IN OUR UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. SINCE COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY MINIMAL SOUTH OF ANY REAL TRIGGER MECHANISM... ESPECIALLY WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...WILL LEAVE MENTION OUT OF TAFS. ALSO...WITH VERY MOIST LOWER LEVELS COULD NOT RULE OUT A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR VISBY/S TOWARD DAWN...HOWEVER BASED ON LAST NIGHTS OBS AND A BIT DRIER CONDITIONS CURRENTLY WILL KEEP VISIBILITY ABOVE 6 MILES. OTHERWISE...EXPECT LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS IN GENERAL THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH SCATTERED CU AROUND 4 TO 5 K FEET ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AT KSDF. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.
