Damaging Winds and Lightning Strike in Kentucky, August 5, 2010

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
657 AM EDT THU AUG 5 2010

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

FAIRLY COMPLEX FORECAST FOR THE FIRST 12-18 HOURS OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD AS SEVERAL WEATHER ELEMENTS POSE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES.
CONVECTION CONTINUES TO SLOWLY WEAKEN ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST SECTIONS
THIS MORNING.  EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE EAST
AND INTO SOUTHEAST KY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.  TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN MILD WITH READINGS IN THE UPPER 70S TO THE LOWER 80S.

SFC COLD FRONT/WIND SHIFT LINE WAS LOCATED ACROSS CENTRAL MO AND IL
THIS MORNING AND IS SLOWLY DROPPING SOUTHEAST.  RECENT IR AND
REGIONAL RADAR COMPOSITES SHOW SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG
THE BOUNDARY AS IT HEADS SOUTHEAST.  LATEST SHORT TERM MODEL RUNS
SUGGESTS THAT STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND BEGIN TO AFFECT
OUR SOUTHERN INDIANA COUNTIES IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THEN AFFECT
PORTIONS OF NORTHERN KY AFTER SUNRISE.  SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH INTO A WARM/HUMID AIRMASS WITH DECENT
INSTABILITY.  STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN KY TODAY WITH DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE MAIN
SEVERE THREAT.  IN ADDITION...TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED
FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS.

HIGHS TODAY WILL BE ORIENTED IN A NORTH SOUTH GRADIENT WITH HIGHS IN
THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 IN THE NORTH WITH LOWER-MID 90S ACROSS
FAR SOUTHERN KY.  THE COMBINATION OF LOWER-MID 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN
THE 70S WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDEX READINGS TOPPING OUT NEAR OR AT
ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN KY.  THEREFORE...A HEAT
ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE FOR THE SOUTHERN
THIRD OF OUR FORECAST AREA.  ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS...THE
ANTICIPATED DRIER AIR WILL RESULT IN LOWER HEAT INDICES THIS
AFTERNOON.

FOR TONIGHT...SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO PUSH FURTHER SOUTH
INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY REGION. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LIKELY
PERSIST EARLY THIS EVENING ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH AND DIMINISH TOWARD
MIDNIGHT.  WILL KEEP CHC POPS IN THE FCST THIS EVENING AND THEN
DECREASE POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT.  OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL COOL INTO THE
UPPER 60S TO THE LOWER 70S WITH THE URBAN AREAS REMAINING IN THE
MID-UPPER 70S.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY - WEDNESDAY)...

FRIDAY - SUNDAY

WILL HAVE TO GET RID OF THE LINGERING COOL FRONTAL BOUNDARY ON
FRIDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON BEFORE WE CAN SETTLE IN FOR A NICE
SENSIBLE WEATHER WEEKEND. FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO BE DRAPED FROM
JKL TO BWG FRIDAY MORNING AND WILL HAVE SLIGHT CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS CONFINED TO
THE SOUTHERN BORDER. FRONT SLIDES SOUTH OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY NIGHT
WHILE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH AND MID LEVEL
FLOW AMPLIFIES IN RESPONSE TO STRENGTHENING H5 RIDGING OVER THE
SOUTH CENTRAL CONUS.

GRADUALLY RISING HEIGHTS WITH THE STRENGTHENING RIDGE THE SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING A PLEASANT WEEKEND WITH REGARD TO SENSIBLE
WEATHER. THE FRESH AIRMASS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL YIELD THE UPPER 80S
TO AROUND 90 ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON EXPECT 85 TO
90 DEGREE TEMPS WITH THE BLUEGRASS BEING THE COOLEST SPOT. THE HEAT
WILL BEGIN TO BUILD BACK IN BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS LOWER 90S ARE
EXPECTED. LOW TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND WILL RANGE IN THE MID
60S...WITH A FEW OF OUR COOLER EASTERN VALLEYS POSSIBLY DROPPING TO
THE LOWER 60S. THE FORECAST LOOKS DRY WITH REGARD TO ANY
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO STAY MOSTLY SUNNY.
WILL BE IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...SO DO HAVE TO WATCH UPSTREAM MCS
ACTIVITY...HOWEVER FEEL CHANCES ARE LOW OF THIS OCCURRING ATTM.

MONDAY - WEDNESDAY...

UPPER RIDGE CENTER WILL BE PARKED OVER THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY AT THE START OF THE WORK WEEK...MUCH CLOSER TO OUR AREA THAN
WITH THE PREVIOUS HEAT WAVE. COULD SEE TEMPERATURES AND HEAT INDICES
SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE HAD THIS WEEK AS H85 TEMPS WILL ONCE AGAIN
RISE OVER THE 20 C MARK. WITH SEVERAL DAYS OF ALREADY DRY WEATHER...
EXPECT TO SEE A QUICKER RESPONSE IN INCREASING TEMPS. CERTAINLY...MID
TO UPPER 90S APPEAR REASONABLE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF NORTHEAST TO
SOUTHWEST GRADIENT. HOWEVER...GFS ENSEMBLE NUMBERS ARE NOW COMING IN
WITH TRIPLE DIGITS SIMILAR TO MEX GUIDANCE AND AM A BIT MORE
CONCERNED SINCE THE RIDGE AXIS WILL BE CLOSER TO THE AREA. WILL HAVE
TO WATCH TRENDS AND POSSIBLY BUMP UP HIGH TEMPS NEARER TO GUIDANCE
AS THIS HAS A BIT MORE CREDIBILITY. HEAT INDICES COULD ONCE AGAIN
APPROACH ADVISORY CRITERIA ALONG AND WEST OF I 65...ALTHOUGH DEW
POINTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE QUITE AS HIGH.

&&

.AVIATION (12Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS APPROACHING THE AREA THIS MORNING
FROM THE NORTHWEST.  SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE CONTINUED TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT AND ARE ORIENTED FROM NEAR ST LOUIS TO JUST
NORTH OF CINCY.  STORMS ARE GENERALLY MOVING EAST WHILE THE LINE
GRADUALLY SINKS TO THE SOUTH.  OVERALL TREND HAS BEEN A LITTLE
SLOWER THAN THE MODELS HAVE PROGGED...SO WILL NEED TO ADJUST THE TAF
FORECASTS A BIT WITH THIS ISSUANCE.

IN THE KSDF/KLEX AREAS...FEEL THAT BEST CHCS FOR THUNDER WILL BE
AFTER 05/13Z THIS MORNING.  WILL CARRY A TEMPO GROUP BETWEEN 14-18Z
AT KSDF AND BETWEEN 16-20Z OVER AT KLEX.  STORMS SHOULD GET INTO THE
BWG AREA LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.  BEST TIME FOR
STORMS AT THE KBWG TERMINAL LOOKS TO BE BETWEEN 05/16-20Z.

ACTIVITY LOOKS TO PRESS SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS THIS EVENING WITH
IMPROVING CONDITIONS TONIGHT.  DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH
RAINFALL...COULD SEE SOME MVFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS AT KLEX AND KBWG
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT DUE TO FOG/MIST.
