NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 28, 4:41 PM EST, 2 hours 19 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 541 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2014 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 541 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2014 CLUSTERS OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO SLIDE EAST ACROSS THE AREA. HAVE UPDATED TO INCLUDE HIGHER POPS IN THE SOUTH WHERE THE BETTER COVERAGE IS CURRENTLY ONGOING. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN DUE TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT AND TRAINING POTENTIAL. ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH SUNSET. UPDATES HAVE BEEN SENT. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 328 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2014 A SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS PUSHING NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN KENTUCKY THIS AFTERNOON...GENERATING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WITH PW'S NEAR 1.80...SLOW STORM MOVEMENT...AND HIGH FREEZING LEVELS...TORRENTIAL RAINFALL HAS BEEN OBSERVED THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE STORMS. THIS DISTURBANCE WILL EXIT NORTHEAST LATER THIS EVENING...AND INSTABILITY WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE THROUGH THE MID TO LATE EVENING HOURS. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY ALLOW ACTIVITY TO FADE AWAY INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER...WILL KEEP SOME LOW POPS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TO ACCOUNT FOR SOME LINGERING ACTIVITY. WITH THE RAIN TODAY...PROBABLY GOING TO SEE SOME PATCHY TO AREAS OF DENSE FOG DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND WILL INCLUDE A MENTION OF FOG IN THE HWO. EASTERN KENTUCKY MAY BE SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE DEPARTING SHORTWAVE AND ANOTHER ONE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST ON SUNDAY. HOWEVER...WITH DAYTIME INSTABILITY...WE WILL LIKELY SEE MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS. COVERAGE WILL PROBABLY WE LESS THAN TODAY...SO WILL SETTLE WITH 40 POPS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THINGS SHOULD SETTLE DOWN AGAIN SUNDAY EVENING...BUT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER WILL LINGER INTO THE NIGHT AGAIN. HIGHS ON SUNDAY SHOULD BE A BIT HIGHER REACHING THE MID 80S WITH MORE SUNSHINE. LOWS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL REMAIN MILD WITH MID TO UPPER 60S. .LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 328 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2014 THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN WILL TRANSITION THIS COMING WEEK...AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IN SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA MOVES EAST WITH TROUGHING MOVING INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY MID TO LATE WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME THE CENTER OF THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES WILL BE SHUNTED INTO THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE COUNTRY. THIS OVERALL TRANSITION WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE LOCAL WEATHER BY THE FOURTH OF JULY. AS THE UPPER TROUGHING MOVES EAST AN INITIAL COLD FRONT WILL MAKE ITS WAY TOWARDS OUR AREA ON TUESDAY. HOWEVER...WITH THE UPPER RIDGING TO OUR SOUTH HOLDING TOUGH...THIS FRONT SHOULD STALL OUT AND BECOME DIFFUSE AND LIKELY DISSIPATE ACROSS THE AREA. A BETTER PUSH OF COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL COME AFTER MID WEEK WITH A COLD FRONT PUSHING SOUTH OF THE AREA THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT. IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT LESS HUMID AIR WILL INVADE THE REGION AND FAIR WEATHER WILL PREVAIL FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND. IN FACT WE ARE FORECASTING DEWPOINTS MOSTLY IN THE VERY COMFORTABLE 50S FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. UNTIL THEN HUMID CONDITIONS AND THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 102 PM EDT SAT JUN 28 2014 SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH NORTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. WHILE THE ORGANIZED SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE DEPARTED KSME AND KLOZ...ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF THESE AIRPORTS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND CANNOT RULE OUT A SHOWER OR STORM DIRECTLY IMPACTING THESE AIRPORTS LATER ON. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE SCATTERED NATURE OF THE CONVECTION...OPTED TO GO WITH VCTS AND AMEND AS NECESSARY THIS AFTERNOON. AS FOR KJKL AND KSJS...SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE PUSHING INTO THESE AREAS AROUND 21Z OR A BIT FASTER. WE SHOULD SEE EVERYTHING DIE OFF THIS EVENING AS INSTABILITY DECREASES AND CONDITIONS STABILIZE ACROSS THE AREA. AN ISOLATED SHOWER COULD STILL IMPACT KSJS INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS...BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO GO WITH IT IN THE TAF. GIVEN THE HIGHER DEWPOINTS AND RAIN TODAY...FOG WILL BE A CONCERN LATER TONIGHT AND WILL INCLUDE A MENTION OF FOG IN ALL OF THE TAFS. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && UPDATE...GEOGERIAN SHORT TERM...KAS LONG TERM...SBH AVIATION...KAS
