Hail and Damaging Winds in Kentucky, June 15, 2011

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY
1123 AM EDT WED JUN 15 2011

...FORECAST UPDATE...

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN IOWA WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EAST
NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES. ITS WARM FRONT EXTENDS SE TOWARDS
BOWLING GREEN WITH AMPLE ELEVATED SHOWERS/STORMS NORTH AND EAST OF
THIS WARM FRONT...BASICALLY ANYWHERE ALONG AND EAST OF I-65. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO POSE A HEAVY RAIN...CONTINUOUS LIGHTNING
AND SUB-SEVERE (MOSTLY) HAIL THREAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

AFTER THE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON WARM FRONTAL PRECIP...WE SHOULD
SEE REDEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SYSTEM/S COLD FRONT...WHICH NOW EXTENDS
SOUTH FROM THE IOWA SFC LOW TO SRN/SWRN MISSOURI. INCONSISTENT
MODELS MAKE THIS A DIFFICULT FORECAST BUT WOULD THINK THE FOCUS
ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE MAINLY ACROSS SRN KY AND MOSTLY ACROSS TN
THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH WARM SECTOR STORMS ARE ALREADY DEVELOPING
FROM ARKANSAS TO TENNESSEE. MAIN THREATS WITH WARM SECTOR STORMS
THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE HAIL AND DMG WINDS.

FOR THE MORNING UPDATE...LOWERED POPS OVER THE NWRN HALF OF THE CWA
TO CHC POPS THIS AFTERNOON WITH LIKELY POPS OVER THE FAR SOUTH AND
EAST. LOWERED HIGHS AS WELL OVER THE NORTH GIVEN THE CURRENT
READINGS AND MORNING PRECIP/CLOUD COVER. UPDATE OUT SHORTLY.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

A BUSY SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD WITH 2 GOOD CHANGES OF CONVECTION
ON THE WAY.  FIRST OF ALL WE HAVE AN MCS OVER ILLINOIS/IOWA/NORTHERN
MISSOURI THIS MORNING AT THE BASE OF A POTENT MID LEVEL TROUGH AND
NOSE OF A GOOD LLJ.  FARTHER SOUTH OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI ANOTHER
MCS IS ON THE RISE JUST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT STEMMING FROM AN IOWA
SFC LOW PRESSURE.  THIS SOUTHERN MCS HAS STRENGTHENED THIS MORNING
AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP NORTHWARD.  THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE 2
MCS/S IS EXPECTED TO FILL IN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS CREATING A
BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION.  THIS CONVECTION WILL MOVE EAST INTO
SOUTHWEST INDIANA AND WEST CENTRAL KY BY AROUND 10 TO 12Z THIS
MORNING.  BECAUSE WE LIE NORTH OF A WARM FRONT WHICH WAS OVER SE
MISSOURI AND WESTERN TENNESSEE AS OF 7Z...CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO
BE ELEVATED AS IT MAKES IT/S WAY EAST ACROSS OUR REGION DURING THE
MORNING HOURS.  MOST AREAS SHOULD SEE A GOOD QUARTER TO A HALF INCH
OF RAIN WITH MAYBE SOME SMALL HAIL POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST STORMS.

THEN THE 12Z SPC WRF AND THE 0Z NAM/GFS HINT AT A BREAK IN
CONVECTION OR A DECREASE IN COVERAGE OF CONVECTION FOR THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS.  DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL HAVE
TIME TO RE-ENERGIZE AND BECOME MUCH MORE UNSTABLE AS WE ENTER THE
WARM SECTOR OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM.  HOWEVER...INSTABILITY MAY BE
LIMITED TO HOW LONG MORNING RAINS AND CLOUDS STICK AROUND.
NEVERTHELESS...IF WE DO DE-STABILIZE WELL...OUR WESTERN COUNTIES
WOULD HAVE THE MOST INSTABILITY DUE TO THE LONGER RECOVERY TIME AND
CONVECTION MAY RE-FIRE THERE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT BY
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.  LEFT OVER BOUNDARIES FROM THIS MORNING/S
CONVECTION MAY ALSO HELP FOCUS NEW AFTERNOON STORMS.  SHOULD THESE
STORMS MATERIALIZE...BULK SHEER PARAMETERS INDICATE THAT THEY COULD
BE SUPERCELLULAR IN NATURE (0-6 KM BS 45-60 KTS AND 0-1 KM BS 20-25
KTS).  MOSTLY UNIDIRECTIONAL LL WINDS DEPICTED BY HODOGRAPHS WOULD
SUGGEST THE POSSIBILITY OF SPLITTING SUPERCELLS.  ALSO A GOOD
CORRIDOR OF 200 TO 250 HELICITY DEVELOPS OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN KY
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS.  THESE FACTORS COULD
LEAD TO A TORNADO OR TWO.  CAPE VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
2500 TO 3500 RANGE THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD THE ATMOSPHERE RECOVER
FULLY...SO LARGE HAIL WILL BE ANOTHER THREAT.  AS STORMS TRANSITION
TO MORE SHORT LINE SEGMENTS AND WITH STEEP LL LAPSE RATES...DAMAGING
WINDS WILL BE A CONCERN AS WELL.  THE BEST TIME FOR SEVERE WEATHER
TODAY WILL BE MID AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING SO KEEP ABREAST OF
DEVELOPING WEATHER DURING THIS TIME FRAME.  AND AGAIN...THE STRENGTH
OF THE STORMS WILL REMAIN CONDITIONAL ON ATMOSPHERE RECOVERY AFTER
THIS MORNING/S CONVECTION.

AS FOR TEMPS...WE/LL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR TODAY SO DESPITE CLOUDS
AND RAIN...BELIEVE HIGHS SHOULD REACH THE LOW TO MID 80S.  TONIGHT
LOWS SHOULD HOLD IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY - TUESDAY)...

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

A LOW AMPLITUDE AND SLOWLY PROGRESSIVE FLOW ACROSS THE CONUS AT
500MB IS EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY SOUTH OF A SERIES OF UPPER
DISTURBANCES ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND THE NORTHERN STATES.
DRIER AIR WILL ARRIVE FROM THE WEST BY EARLY THURSDAY BEHIND AN
OCCLUDED FRONT EXITING THE COMMONWEALTH. EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES
THURSDAY WITH DEWPOINTS FALLING INTO THE UPPER 50S BY LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. WITH WEST WINDS AND PLENTY OF SUN...TEMPERATURES THURSDAY
WILL ACTUALLY WARM SLIGHTLY COMPARED TO WEDNESDAY'S HIGHS...REACHING
THE MID TO UPPER 80S.

A BROAD BUT NOT ESPECIALLY DEEP TROUGH WILL DOMINATE THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL SLOWLY WORK ITS WAY
TOWARDS THE NORTHERN PLAINS BY LATE SUNDAY.

A GENERAL WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN FRIDAY ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO
VALLEY AND BY SUNDAY...HOT AND HUMID WEATHER SIMILAR TO WHAT WE
EXPERIENCED EARLY THIS MONTH IS LIKELY. BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND
SOUTHWEST FLOW...BOTH ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE WILL MOVE AS FAR
NORTH AS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES.

WE DO HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRECIPITATION FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES ARE FORECAST TO CREST A FLAT RIDGE
EXPECTED TO BE CENTERED OVER KANSAS. IN ADDITION...A WARM FRONT WILL
SLOWLY MOVE NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY DURING THE
EARLY PORTION OF THE WEEKEND. THE NAM IS THE SLOWEST WITH THE
POSITIONING OF THIS WARM FRONT AND DOES NOT MOVE IT NORTHEAST OF THE
BLUEGRASS REGION UNTIL SATURDAY AFTERNOON. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
CONVECTION COULD ARRIVE AS EARLY AS FRIDAY MORNING AS BOTH THE GFS
AND THE NAM FORECAST A NOCTURNAL CONVECTION SYSTEM TO CROSS CENTRAL
MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS FRIDAY.
DEWPOINTS WILL INCREASE MARKEDLY BE FRIDAY AFTERNOON...SO THE NIGHT
TIME HOURS EARLY SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY MONDAY WILL FEEL MUGGY.

HIGHS WILL EXCEED 90 CERTAINLY BY SUNDAY AND POSSIBLY ON SATURDAY.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...

BY MONDAY...500MB RIDGING WILL HAVE STRENGTHENED OVER THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY. THE STORM TRACK IS EXPECTED TO HAVE SHIFTED TO OUR
NORTHWEST...EXTENDING FROM THE LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY THROUGH THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES. HOT HUMID WEATHER WITH LIGHT WINDS ARE LIKELY
FOR THE FIRST PORTION OF THE WORK WEEK WITH LITTLE OPPORTUNITY FOR
CONVECTION.

&&

.AVIATION (12Z TAF ISSUANCE)...

CONVECTION HAS COMMENCED OVER THE REGION EARLIER THAN PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST.  THE 0Z SPC WRF HAS THE BEST HANDLE ON THIS
CONVECTION...THEREFORE WILL USE IT FOR THE TAF FORECAST.  STORMS
SHOULD BE NEAR OR ONGOING AT THE TAF SITES AT TAF ISSUANCE AND
CONTINUE ON AND OFF THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.  THERE MAY BE SOME
GUSTY WINDS OR SMALL HAIL ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS.  FOR
NOW WILL KEEP TAFS IN VFR CONDITIONS WITH -TSRA AND AMEND AS
NECESSARY FOR STRONGER STORMS WHICH MAY REDUCE VSBYS TO MVFR IN
HEAVY RAIN.

STORMS SHOULD BE DONE BY EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON.  UNLIKE PREVIOUS
FORECASTS...CHANCES FOR RE-DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS FOR THIS EVENING
ARE LOOKING SLIM.  THEREFORE WILL DOWNGRADE TO VCSH AND CB GROUPS
FOR THIS EVENING AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.

AS FOR WINDS...THE TAF SITES SHOULD STAY LIGHT SE DURING THE
MORNING HOURS.  THEN SHIFT TO THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON PICKING UP
SPEED INTO THE 10 TO 12 KT RANGE WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE.
AFTER THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE DURING THE LATE EVENING/OVERNIGHT
HOURS...WINDS SHOULD SHIFT TO THE WEST.
