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 Jun 22, 1:23 PM EST, 3 hours 57 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 223 PM EDT TUE JUN 22 2010 .SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...UPDATED THE PRIMARY WEATHER ISSUE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES. THE LATEST MAV/METMOS DATA CONTINUE TO INDICATE DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S ACROSS MOST OF EASTERN KENTUCKY TODAY AND TOMORROW. WHILE WE MAY NOT FULLY REALIZE THE WIDESPREAD MID 90S TODAY...IT APPEARS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT TEMPS WILL EASILY REACH THE MID TO UPPER 90S FOR MOST LOCATIONS. THAT BEING SAID...A HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN AFFECT THROUGH 8 PM THIS EVENING...AND ANOTHER IS SCHEDULED FOR NOON TO 8 PM ON WEDNESDAY AS WELL. ONE MCS AFTER ANOTHER CONTINUE TO FORM IN THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS AND MOVE EASTWARD ALONG A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT HAS BEEN MEANDERING NORTH AND SOUTH BETWEEN THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES AND THE OHIO RIVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. THIS PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE FRONT FINALLY MOVES AWAY TO THE EAST. AN EXISTING CLUSTER OF STORMS CURRENTLY MOVING FROM ILLINOIS INTO INDIANA COULD BRUSH THE NORTHERN AND EASTERNMOST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN TONIGHT ANY EXISTING STORMS SHOULD DISSIPATE RATHER QUICKLY. THE PATTERN LOOKS TO REPEAT ITSELF TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS WELL. THE DIFFERENCE WILL BE THAT CONDITIONS DO NOT LOOK QUITE AS FAVORABLE TOMORROW...AS THE MAJORITY OF THE MODELS KEEP MCS ACTIVITY JUST OUTSIDE THE FRINGES OF THE JKL FORECAST AREA. WITH THAT IN MIND DECIDED TO GO WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR EARLY TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WILL COME ON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...AS A DECENT COLD FRONT DRIFTS ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE NORTH...LEADING TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS MAINLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. VALLEY LOCATIONS...PARTICULARLY THOSE SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY...COULD ALSO SEE SOME PATCHY FOG OVERNIGHT AS THE CLOUDS BREAK UP AND OR MOVE OUT OF THE AREA. .LONG TERM.../FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...UPDATED A WEAKENING COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO BE DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY...BUT THE TIMING/POSITIONING IS STILL UNCERTAIN. THE BEST CHANCE OF DEEP CONVECTION WILL BE IN OUR SOUTH WHERE FRONTAL PASSAGE IS THE MOST IN QUESTION. HAVE USED A 20 PERCENT POP THERE INTO FRIDAY EVENING. WARM AIR ADVECTION RETURNS TO THE LOCAL AREA DURING THE WEEKEND AS A STORM SYSTEM MOVES FROM THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES...AND ITS LOW LEVEL FLOW INFLUENCES OUR WEATHER. INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN GREATER INSTABILITY AND AN INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM THIS STORM SYSTEM SHOULD AFFECT US EARLY IN THE WORK WEEK. HOWEVER...MODEL DIFFERENCES EXIST CONCERNING THE UPPER AIR PATTERN OF A GREAT PLAINS RIDGE AND EASTERN CONUS TROUGH. THE 00Z ECMWF WAS MORE AMPLIFIED THAN THE 00Z OR 06Z RUNS OF THE GFS OR ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN. AS A RESULT...THE THE ECMWF BRINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH MORE AGGRESSIVELY THAN THE GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN. ALTHOUGH...THE 12Z RUN OF THE GFS DOES LOOK MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THE UPPER PATTERN...AND IT HAS A SECONDARY COLD FRONT DROPPING IN LATER AFTER THE FIRST ONE WASHES OUT. WILL ACCOUNT FOR UNCERTAINTY AND POTENTIAL SLOWER ARRIVAL OF COOLER/DRIER AIR MASS AND USE LOW CHANCE POPS YET ON TUESDAY. && .AVIATION.../18Z TO 18Z/ VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL AT THE TAF SITES FOR MOST OR ALL OF THE VALID PERIOD. THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THIS SET OF TAFS WILL BE WHETHER OR NOT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ABLE TO FORM IN EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON OR IF STORMS FROM A CLUSTER MOVING INTO WESTERN INDIANA ARE ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE AREA MUCH LATER TODAY. AS OF NOW...IT LOOKS AS IF NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR IN EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AN EARLIER COMPLEX OF STORMS MOVED ACROSS PARTS OF OHIO AND HAS SINCE DISSIPATED. AS NOTED ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR LOOPS...TWO OR THREE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM THE STORMS THAT MOVED ACROSS INDIANA AND OHIO EARLIER TODAY HAVE YET TO SPARK ANY SHOWERS OR STORMS AROUND THE FORECAST AREA. THESE BOUNDARIES HAVE ALREADY MOVED JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE WEATHER OFFICE WITH NOTHING MORE TO SHOW FOR THEIR PRESENCE THAN A COUPLE OF LINES OF INSIGNIFICANT CUMULUS CLOUDS. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AND ENOUGH COOLING OVERNIGHT FOR SOME PATCHY VALLEY FOG TO FORM...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE MOUNTAIN PARKWAY. LOZ AND SME COULD SEE SOME MVFR VSBYS IN LIGHT FOG AFTER 7Z TONIGHT. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
