NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 1, 10:00 AM EST, 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 1000 AM EST SUN JAN 1 2012 .SHORT TERM.../THE REST OF TODAY/...UPDATED UPDATE THIS MORNING WAS FOR RAPID RISE IN MORNING TEMPS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF STRONG RETURN FLOW FROM THE SOUTH AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. TEMPS ARE RISING CLOSE TO 60 DEGREES IN PLACES. EXPECT EVEN OUR EASTERN VALLEYS TO HAVE SCOURED OUT BY MID DAY. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES DROP BACK DOWN QUICKLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT KICKS IN. IT APPEARS THE COLD FRONT IS JUST REACHING THE I75 CORRIDOR AT THIS TIME. ALSO MADE SIGNIFICANT INCREASES TO POPS...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTH. A FAIRLY SOLID BAND OF RAIN SHOWERS HAS DEVELOPED AND IS MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA AT A RAPID PACE... ABOUT 60 MPH. OTHERWISE...ISOLD TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL AFFECT THE REST OF OUR CWA. WINDS WILL BE QUITE GUSTY AT TIMES TODAY...ESPECIALLY AROUND ANY SHOWERS THIS MORNING. THE PREVIOUS SHORT TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... /TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY/ 07Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A DEEP...AND DEEPENING...AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE MIDWEST WITH A RAPIDLY TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT SQUEEZING THIS WAY. A WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE LOW... CENTERED JUST WEST OF ORD...SOUTHEAST TO CENTRAL KENTUCKY. ON SATELLITE...THE DEVELOPING CLOUD DECK ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BOUNDARY IS SPREADING INTO EAST KENTUCKY JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE FRONT BRINGS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE WINDS TO MIX DOWN TO THE SFC BETTER ALONG WITH A BUILDING...BUT THIN...BAND OF SHOWERS. CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS THROUGH MUCH OF EAST KENTUCKY THIS NIGHT HAS RESULTED IN A GOOD NIGHT OF RADIATIONAL COOLING FOR THE DEEPER VALLEYS AND AS SUCH A FEW OF OUR TYPICALLY COOLER SPOTS HAVE FALLEN BELOW FREEZING. MOST OF THESE SHOULD SEE TEMP RISES TOWARD DAWN AS THE WINDS PICK UP AND THE CLOUDS MOVE IN. FOR INSTANCE...THE MONTICELLO AIRPORT IN WAYNE COUNTY WENT FROM 32 DEGREES DURING THE EVENING TO A CURRENT TEMPERATURE OF 50 DEGREES AS THE WINDS PICKED UP TOWARD MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER...A FEW OF THOSE SHELTERED LOCATIONS IN FAR EAST KENTUCKY COULD STAY BELOW FREEZING THROUGH DAWN AND A POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT PCPN WITH THE FRONT WILL MEAN A RISK OF FREEZING SPRINKLES OR LIGHT SHOWERS. WILL MONITOR THIS POSSIBILITY THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS FOR A POTENTIAL SHORT DURATION SPS. OTHER SPS AND NPW PRODUCTS...FOR THE WINDS THROUGH THE DAY...WILL CONTINUE AS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED. THE MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ALOFT THROUGH THE SHORT RANGE PORTION OF THE FORECAST AS THEY ALL DEPICT THE BRIEF AMPLIFICATION OF A TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. THE FIRST POTENT WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AMPLIFICATION PASSES THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY LATER TODAY. A SECONDARY ONE THEN DIVES SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION ON MONDAY BEFORE THE WHOLE TROUGH WHIPS EAST BY MIDDAY TUESDAY ALLOWING HEIGHT RISES TO FOLLOW. THE GFS IS SLOWER AND MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THIS SECOND WAVE THAN THE NAM...BUT IN LINE WITH THE TIMING OF THE LATEST ECMWF. GIVEN THE OVERALL SIMILARITIES HAVE GONE WITH A MODEL BLEND SOLUTION AND FOLLOWED A MODIFIED...SOMEWHAT SLOWED DOWN AND ENHANCED...NAM12 SCENARIO FOR WEATHER DETAILS THROUGH TUESDAY. IT WILL BE A VERY ACTIVE 48 HOURS OR SO AS A DEEP SFC LOW PASSES BY TO THE NORTH LATER TODAY AND SWEEPS A PAIR OF FRONTS THROUGH THE CWA BY EVENING. THE FIRST...A WARM FRONT...BRINGS A BAND OF LOW TO MID CLOUDS AND A POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT PCPN...RAIN SHOWERS...EARLY THIS MORNING FOLLOWED BY THE COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH PERHAPS A FEW SPRINKLES. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM THE DEEPENING LOW TO THE NORTH AND HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR SOUTHEAST WILL BRING STRONG WINDS TO THE AREA TODAY...MAINLY IN THE NORTHWEST PARTS OF THE AREA WHERE A WIND ADVISORY WILL SHORTLY BE IN EFFECT FOR GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH. SOUTH OF THESE BLUE GRASS COUNTIES...ESSENTIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 75...A LAKE WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN HOISTED FOR WINDS UP TO 35 MPH. ELSEWHERE...THE WESTERLY WINDS WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 30 MPH WILL BE WORTHY OF THE EXISTING SPS TO HIGHLIGHT THE HIGHER GUSTS. ALL OF THESE EXISTING PRODUCTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO RUN THEIR COURSE...IN EFFECT THROUGH 8 PM TODAY. DURING THE LATTER TIME OF HIGHER WINDS...COLD AIR WILL START TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA AND RESULT IN A CHALLENGING TEMPERATURE TRACE THROUGH THE DAY FROM WEST TO EAST. ACCORDINGLY...HAVE GONE WITH A DIURNAL FROM MODEL TREND FOR HOURLY TEMPS. THE TEMPERATURE CHALLENGES CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO THE DAY MONDAY AS A SECONDARY COLD FRONT HEADS INTO THE AREA WITH ADDITIONAL...MORE ARCTIC...AIR. THIS SURGE OF COLD WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY ADDITIONAL HIGHER WINDS AND UPSLOPE FLOW. ACCORDINGLY...ANTICIPATE SNOW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP LATER MONDAY OVER OUR HIGHER TERRAIN WITH SOME ACCUMULATIONS LIKELY... PARTICULARLY AT NIGHT AND ALONG THE COUNTIES THAT BORDER VIRGINIA. ANTICIPATE AS MUCH AS THREE INCHES OF FLUFFY SNOW...FROM THE COLD AIR GIVING A HIGH RATIO...OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THOSE COUNTIES. THEREFORE WILL ISSUE A WSW TO COVER THIS CONCERN FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. DETAILS CAN BE FOUND WITHIN THAT PRODUCT TO BE ISSUED SHORTLY. THIS SHARP BLAST OF WINDY...COLD AND SNOWY WEATHER WILL BE QUITE A REMINDER OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN MISSING SO FAR THIS SEASON. FOLLOWED A BLEND OF THE RAW TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE FROM THE NAM AND THE INHERITED GRIDS ALONG WITH SOME TERRAIN BASED ADJUSTMENTS WITH SOME CONSIDERATION TO ANTICIPATED...TEMPORARY...SNOW COVER IN THE FAR EAST BY TUESDAY MORNING. AS FOR POPS...WENT HIGHER THAN THE GUIDANCE FROM LATER MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING GIVEN THE MODEL/S TYPICAL POOR PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO UPSLOPE SNOW EVENTS. .LONG TERM.../TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/ PROGRESSIVE AND LESS AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED. A FEW QUICK MOVING SHORTWAVES WILL PUSH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...BUT ANY PRECIPITATION WILL STAY WELL TO OUR NORTH. THIS WILL SET UP A QUIETER STRETCH OF WEATHER FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. WITH THE DEEPER EARLY WEEK TROUGH LIFTING OUT TO THE EAST...THIS WILL SPELL A WARMING TREND THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK WITH ANOTHER STRETCH OF MILD WEATHER ANTICIPATED BY THE END OF THE WEEK. MODELS REALLY START TO DIVERGE BY NEXT WEEKEND...BUT SEEM IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT WE MAY SEE OUR WEATHER TURN A BIT MORE ACTIVE AS A QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY REMAINS DRAPED OVER EASTERN KENTUCKY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. THIS WOULD LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A PROLONG PERIOD OF RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL FLOODING. HOWEVER...DETAILS ARE FUZZY AT THIS POINT WITH MODELS ALL OVER THE PLACE. WITH THE POSITIVE NAO...A MORE PROGRESSIVE SOLUTION WOULD BE FAVORED...WHICH COULD SAVE US FROM A MORE SERIOUS FLOODING THREAT. THE 00Z ECMWF...WHILE PRESENTLY AN OUTLIER...IS THE MOST PROGRESSIVE OF THE MODEL SOLUTIONS...AND BASED ON THE EXPECTED PATTERN...WOULD BE A PREFERRED MODEL AT THIS POINT. && .AVIATION.../12Z TO 12Z/ A WARM FRONT HAS ENTERED EAST KENTUCKY...BRINGING WITH IT A DECK OF LOW AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS AND AN INCREASE IN THE WINDS. THESE CLOUDS WILL FLIRT WITH MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. AS THIS BOUNDARY PASSES THROUGH SPRINKLES AND A FEW SHOWERS WILL CROSS THE AREA...ALONG WITH THE OCCASIONAL HIGHER WIND GUSTS. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR REMAINS CONCERN AS SOUTHWEST WINDS OFF THE SFC ARE LIKELY MOVING AT BETWEEN 40 AND 50 KTS WHILE SFC WINDS ARE STILL COMPARATIVELY LIGHT FROM THE SOUTH. IN THE WAKE OF THE WARM FRONT PASSING THROUGH...THE HIGHER SOUTHWEST WINDS JUST OFF THE SFC WILL START TO MIX DOWN MORE EFFECTIVE BY MID MORNING WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF UP TO 20 KTS EXPECTED AND GUSTS TO 30 KTS POSSIBLE. BY AFTERNOON THE WINDS BECOME MORE WESTERLY AND SOME GUSTS TO 35 TO 40 KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY OVER OUR BLUEGRASS COUNTIES AND LOCATIONS ALONG AND TO THE WEST OF INTERSTATE 75. THE WINDS WILL SETTLE SOMEWHAT AFTER SUNSET BUT REMAIN OCCASIONALLY GUSTY FROM THE WEST. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 8 PM EST THIS EVENING FOR KYZ044-050>052.
