The episode as NWS JKL wrote it up.
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms felled trees in Pulaski, Estill and Rockcastle counties during the afternoon and evening of August 15th.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 14, 10:18 PM EST, 42 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 1118 PM EDT SAT AUG 14 2010 .SHORT TERM.../THE REST OF TONIGHT/...UPDATED THE BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO PROGRESS EAST...WITH THE INTENSITY HAVING WANED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. HYDRO PROBLEMS REMAIN THE MAIN CONCERN...MAINLY OVER IN THE BIG SANDY REGION...WHERE SOME TRAINING IS OCCURRING. OTHERWISE...WE HAVE UPDATED TO GET RID OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 614. AN MCV APPEARS TO BE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA...NOW GETTING INTO THE PIKE COUNTY AREA...AND HAS BEEN SLOWING DOWN THE EAST PROGRESS OF THE CONVECTION IN THE SOUTH. AT THIS POINT IN TIME...IT APPEARS THAT THE REMAINING CONVECTION WILL MOVE EAST OF MOST OF THE CWA BY 6Z...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION POSSIBLE LATER TONIGHT IN THE WARM SECTOR IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. FOG COULD BECOME DENSE IN THE DEEPER VALLEYS AND LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVED HEAVIER PRECIP ON SAT...ESPECIALLY LATER ON WHEN AT LEAST PARTIAL CLEARING SHOULD OCCUR IN SOME PLACES. HOURLY TEMP AND DEWPOINT TRENDS WERE UPDATED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LATEST TRENDS. THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... /THE REST OF TONIGHT/ THE ZFP WAS UPDATED TO EXTEND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FURTHER EAST TO INCLUDE ALL BUT THE THREE SOUTH EASTERNMOST COUNTIES. THE THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO. THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/ 18Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS WEAK LOW PRESSURE IN PLACE THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. ON SATELLITE...THE CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS TO THE NORTHWEST ARE WANING AND A DECENT CU FIELD HAS SPROUTED OVER EAST KENTUCKY. AN APPARENT MCV IS SPINNING THROUGH SOUTHERN INDIANA AND THIS COULD HELP TO INITIATE MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION OVER THE REGION AND SPREAD EAST INTO THE CWA LATER IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. RIGHT NOW...DESPITE CAPE TO 4000 J/KG...NO CAP...AND NON-EXISTENT CONVECTIVE INHIBITION THE STORMS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME DEVELOPING OVER THE CWA. ONCE AGAIN HEAT INDICES ACROSS THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON EXCEEDED ADVISORY CRITERIA AND THE LENGTH OF THIS CURRENT HEAT WAVE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING. BASED ON THE CURRENTLY FORECASTED HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY AND DEWPOINTS SIMILAR TO TODAY IT APPEARS THAT HEAT INDICES WILL AGAIN EXCEED 100 DEGREES FOR A TIME. THIS WILL NECESSITATE EXTENDING THE CURRENT EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS UPDATED PRODUCT AND A NEW HWO WILL BE SENT WITH THE ZONE ISSUANCE. THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH THE DEEP TROUGH MOVING THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL SHUNT THE ABUSIVE RIDGE SOUTHWARD AS TROUGHING EXTENDS INTO THE NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY. THE NAM WAS THE STRONGEST WITH THIS TREND AND ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SUITE OF MODEL SOLUTIONS...BUT THE TRENDS OF BOTH THE GFS AND THE 12Z ECMWF APPEAR TO BE MOVING IN THIS DIRECTION AS WELL. ACCORDINGLY...WILL LEAN MOST HEAVILY TOWARD THE WEATHER SPECIFICS AS DEPICTED IN THE NAM FOR THE FORECAST THROUGH 12Z MONDAY. SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE AN INTERESTING EVENING...PREGNANT WITH POTENTIAL FOR STRONG CONVECTION AS THE AIR MASS IS QUITE UNSTABLE. AN APPROACHING MCV/VORT STREAM SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER AN ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE SYSTEM TO OUR NORTHWEST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. THIS WOULD THEN SPREAD EAST AS HINTED AT IN THE LATEST NAM12...RUC13 AND HRRR. HAVE TRIED TO DRAW A BAND OF HIGHER POPS TRAIPSING THROUGH EAST KENTUCKY THIS EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING TO SCATTERED...MAINLY SHOWERS...CONVECTION OVER OUR FAR EAST TOWARD MIDNIGHT. HAVE DROPPED POPS TONIGHT AND INCLUDED A HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT OF FOG...LOCALLY DENSE LATE. THE COLD FRONT THAT WAS ONCE THOUGHT WOULD PROVIDE SOME RELIEF FROM THE HEAT TO END THE WEEKEND WILL BE JUST APPROACHING THE CWA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND AS A RESULT HAVE PUSHED THE ARRIVAL OF HIGHER POPS BACK UNTIL MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. THIS DELAY SHOULD MEAN HIGHER TEMPS THEN CURRENT FORECAST...AND LITTLE RELIEF FROM THE HEAT UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY. THERE COULD BE MCS ACTIVITY TO THE NORTHWEST LATER TONIGHT AND THE CLOUDS OR REMAINS OF THIS COULD HURT OUR TEMPERATURE RISE SUNDAY. HOWEVER...THIS POTENTIAL IS TOO UNCERTAIN TO PIN OUR FORECAST HIGHS ON SO HAVE RAISED MAX TEMPERATURES SUNDAY A COUPLE OF DEGREES IN MOST PLACES. THESE TEMPERATURES...WHEN COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS EQUALLY HIGH AS TODAY...WILL MEAN HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR MOST OF THE CWA. ACCORDINGLY...WILL EXTEND THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING FOR ANOTHER DAY AND EXPIRE IT AT 8 PM SUNDAY. LATER THAT NIGHT THE FRONT WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF CONVECTION IN THE FORECAST...BUT LIKELY ANY DEVELOPMENT DURING THE DAY WILL BE ABLE TO PROPAGATE EAST BY LATE EVENING SO HAVE LOWERED POPS FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CWA AFTER 03Z. AGAIN MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL BE HAD WITH PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING AND BECOMING LOCALLY DENSE IN THE VALLEYS. FOR TEMPERATURES...HAVE FOLLOWED A BLEND OF PERSISTENCE...INHERITED GRIDS...AND A NOD TO THE WARM MAV MOS. ONLY MADE VERY MINOR TWEAKS BASED ON TERRAIN AT NIGHT AS THE HIGH DEWPOINTS WILL MITIGATE THE NORMAL RADIATIVE DIFFERENCES. AS FOR POPS...ENDED UP CLOSEST TO THE MET NUMBERS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PART OF THE FORECAST. .LONG TERM.../MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/ EXTENDED BEGINS WITH MODELS SHOWING GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERNS THROUGH DY4 TUESDAY. THEREAFTER SOLUTIONS DIVERGE A BIT...WITH DIFFERENCES CENTERED ON AMPLITUDE AND SPEED OF SHORT WAVE TROUGHS RIDING OVER A SUPPRESSED...AND SOMEWHAT FLATTENED SOUTHERN CONUS RIDGE. IN GENERAL...THE 12Z GFS HAS TRENDED SIGNIFICANTLY TOWARDS THE 0Z ECMWF BEYOND DY4...GIVING THE ECMWF A BIT MORE CREDENCE. THE ECMWF IS SLIGHTLY STRONGER...AND DEEPER WITH FIRST OF TWO TROUGHS THAT ROLL THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY REGIONS. WITH THE HELP OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WEAK TROPICAL WAVE CURRENTLY DANCING OVER THE GULF COAST...A SECOND TROUGH PHASES WITH THE TROPICAL WAVE AND DEEPENS INTO A MORE SIGNIFICANT EASTERN CONUS TROUGH VERY LATE IN THE PERIOD...OR JUST BEYOND. ATTM THIS TROUGH IS QUITE PROGRESSIVE WITH MODELS ADVERTISING THE RETURN OF A SHARP... STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE A BIT BEYOND THE END OF THE FORECAST WINDOW. OVERALL...CONFIDENCE IN FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE AVERAGE TO LOW...PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PHASING THAT MIGHT OCCUR WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED TROPICAL WAVE DURING THE LATTER PORTIONS OF THE EXTENDED. SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE A BREAK IN THE HEAT WAVE AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT DESCENDS THROUGH THE CWA AND STALLS NEARLY OVERHEAD. THIS WILL CREATE A DECENT POP GRADIENT FROM SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST DURING THE BULK OF THE FORECAST. A TROPICAL WAVE MAY GET PULLED NORTHWARD UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY...AND EVENTUALLY INTO OUR NECK OF THE WOODS LATE IN THE PERIOD AS THE WESTERLIES DIP SOUTHWARD AND SEND A SECOND COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. IF THIS SCENARIO PANS OUT...THIS MAY LEAD TO AN INCREASED CHANCE OF RAIN NEXT WEEKEND AND POSSIBLY SOME LOCALIZED HYDRO ISSUES. AGAIN...CONFIDENCE IS LOW...BUT SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING. PREVIOUS FORECASTS HAD A GOOD HANDLE ON OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERNS AND EVENTS. WITH SOME CONSISTENCY IN THE MOST RECENT MODEL RUNS THROUGH THE MID TERM...WENT AHEAD AND TIGHTENED UP THE POP GRADIENT ACROSS OUR CWA THROUGH THAT PORTION OF THE FORECAST. WENT WITH AN INCREASED SOLID CHANCE POP CLOSER TO THE KY/TN/VA STATE LINES...AND A GENERALLY LOWER...SLIGHT CHANCE POP ROUGHLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 64 CORRIDOR. WITH A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA THIS PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED...WITH DAILY AND MAINLY DIURNAL THUNDERSTORMS PLAYING LIKE A BROKEN RECORD. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT TEMPERATURES...PARTICULARLY AFTERNOON HIGHS SHOULD BE MUCH CLOSER TO NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. HOWEVER...IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE QUITE MUGGY. && .AVIATION.../00Z TO 24Z/ A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO WORK INTO THE REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE LINE SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT PRESSES EAST WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. FOR NOW...OPTED TO GO WITH TEMP FOR THUNDER ON STATION FOR JKL...LOZ AND SME DURING THE FIRST TWO TO FOUR HOURS. EXPECT FOG TO AFFECT THE TAF SITES TO SOME EXTENT LATER TONIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING...WITH AREAS THAT RECEIVE THE HEAVIEST RAIN PROBABLY GETTING INTO THE LIFR RANGE OR LOWER FOR VIS. FOR THIS HAVE BROUGHT JKL DOWN TO MVFR BETWEEN 10 AND 12Z WITH LOZ AND SME DOWN TO IFR VIA A TEMPO FROM 08 TO 12Z. AFTER 12Z...HAVE INCLUDED A VCTS FOR REDEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS AS A FRONT APPROACHES THE CWA SINCE CONFIDENCE IN TIMING IS LOW. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
