AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 124 PM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 123 PM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014 WILL BE UPDATING NDFD AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS FOR LATEST OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THIS AFTERNOON. UPDATE ISSUED AT 1118 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014 OUTFLOW FROM THE WESTERN TN MCS WILL SERVE AS FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR CONTINUED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME NUMEROUS IN THE LAKE CUMBERLAND AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH ACTIVITY SPREADING ENE DURING THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. UPDATED NDFD AND ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS REFLECT THIS. UPDATE ISSUED AT 944 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014 UPDATED GRIDS WILL BE SENT TO NDFD AND WEB SERVERS SHORTLY AFTER 14Z. UPDATE WILL PRIMARILY BE TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST SKY COVER...TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT TRENDS. THE GOES SOUNDER IMAGERY IS SHOWING PRECIPITABLE WATER ACROSS EAST KY OF 1.6 TO 1.7 INCHES AT 12Z...WITH THE 12Z ILN AND OHX SOUNDINGS AT 1.58 AND 1.55 INCHES. AS SUCH HEAVY RAINERS STILL A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THIS AFTERNOON. STORM MOTION MAY BE SLIGHTLY GREATER TODAY AT 11 TO 14 KNOTS BASED ON MORNING SOUNDINGS. EVEN SO WITH CLUSTERS OF MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING REMAINS A POSSIBILITY ALSO LATEST SPC CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK PLACES EAST KY IN 5 PERCENT PROBABILITY FOR DAMAGING WIND. WILL ALSO BE UPDATING THE HWO TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE THREATS. UPDATE ISSUED AT 730 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014 DID AN UPDATE TO FINE TUNE POPS AND MINIMIZE THE FOG FOR THE REST OF THE MORNING. ALSO ADJUSTED SKY COVER...T...AND TD GRIDS BASED ON TH LATEST OBS AND TRENDS. THESE HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE NDFD AND WEB SERVERS WITH A NEW SET OF ZONES AND HWO TO FOLLOW BY 8 AM. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 345 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014 06Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A SIMILAR SET UP AS THE PAST FEW NIGHTS WITH A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TO THE NORTHWEST...NOW CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS...AND A WEAK BOUNDARY LYING OVER EAST KENTUCKY ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST. STEADY SOUTHWEST FLOW WELL AHEAD OF THE PLAINS LOW IS KEEPING A SUPPLY OF WARM AND HUMID AIR ACROSS EAST KENTUCKY. AS SUCH...DEWPOINTS ARE RUNNING IN THE UPPER 60S THROUGH THE AREA WHILE TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY A DEGREE OR SO HIGHER IN MOST PLACES. ON RADAR...A LATE EVENING LULL IN ACTIVITY HAS RETURNED TO EAST KENTUCKY AS A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS OVER OUR EASTERNMOST COUNTIES HAVE FADED OUT. HOWEVER...AN AREA OF MORE SUBSTANTIAL SHOWERS IS MOVING NORTHEAST OUT OF NORTH CENTRAL TENNESSEE AND SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY...HEADING TOWARD THE CWA. ON SATELLITE...MID LEVEL CLOUDS BRIEFLY REDEVELOPED EARLIER BEFORE DIMINISHING AGAIN OVER THE AREA...THOUGH A NEW UPSURGE IS NOTED IN RECENT IMAGES. SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN ENOUGH CLOUD COVER TO KEEP THE FOG FROM SHOWING UP TOO THICK IN THE AREA OBS AND WEB CAMS. THE MODELS ARE AGAIN IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ALOFT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THEY ALL TAKE THE DEEP AND BROAD CLOSED LOW FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS SLOWLY NORTHEAST INTO SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA...JUST NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES BY MONDAY NIGHT. THIS CIRCULATION WILL DOMINATE THE FLOW PATTERN OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE NATION WITH PACKETS OF ENERGY RIPPLING ALONG ITS SOUTHERN FLANK AND BRUSHING PAST KENTUCKY. THE LEADING ONE OF THESE WILL PASS BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AFTER HELPING TO FURTHER SUPPRESS THE SOUTHEAST RIDGE. ANOTHER MINOR WAVE WILL MOVE BY TO THE NORTH ON MONDAY. HEIGHTS OVER KENTUCKY WILL REMAIN SOMEWHAT SUPPRESSED INTO MONDAY EVENING EVEN THOUGH THE SOUTHERN RIDGE TRIES TO EDGE BACK NORTH INTO KENTUCKY. GIVEN THE MODEL AGREEMENT...AND THE SMALL SCALE OF THE DETERMINATIVE FEATURES...WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR A MODEL BLEND WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE HIGHER RESOLUTION NAM12 AND HRRR FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS. SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE SHOWERS...AND THEN INCREASINGLY THUNDERSTORMS...MOVING THROUGH EAST KENTUCKY TODAY AND PEAKING IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. SIMILAR TO THE PAST TWO DAYS ANY STORM WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN DUE TO HIGH PWS...GREATER THAN 1.7 INCHES...AND FAIRLY SLOW MOVEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL CELLS. WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE HWO. ANOTHER WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT CAN BE EXPECTED TO FOLLOW WITH PATCHY FOG...LOCALLY DENSE...A CONCERN ALONG WITH LINGERING SHOWERS. FOR MONDAY...THE AIR COLUMN WILL BE A TAD DRIER...BUT THIS MAY ONLY SERVE TO ALLOW FOR WARMER TEMPS AND STORMS DRIVEN BY THE BETTER INSTABILITY BY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA...BUT COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE LESSER THAN THAT OF TODAY. THE BCCONSSHORT WAS TAKEN FOR A STARTING POINT FOR THE T AND TD GRIDS THROUGH THE FIRST 24 HOURS AND THEN THE BCCONSALL USED THEREAFTER. DID MAKE SOME VERY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RIDGE AND VALLEY SPOTS TONIGHT. AS FOR POPS...ENDED UP PRETTY CLOSE TO A MOS BLEND...WITH A DIURNAL FLARE...THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. .LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 300 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014 WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE EXITS THE APPALACHIAN REGION OF EASTERN KY OVERNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT...A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE MAKING ITS WAY INTO ONTARIO...ALLOWING A DEEP TROUGH TO MOVE INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY OVERNIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY TRANSITION EASTWARD INTO TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...THOUGH IS EXPECTED TO LOSE AMPLITUDE AS IT DOES. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL KEEP A STRONG HOLD ACROSS THE SE DURING THIS TIME...BUT WILL EVENTUALLY BE SUPPRESSED MORE SWRD BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AT THE SURFACE...THE EXITING SHORTWAVE AND LOSS OF DAYTIME INSTABILITY WILL ALLOW PRECIP TO CEASE ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN KY...WHILE A BRIEF AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE TAKES OVER. THE LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CORRESPOND WITH A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE FEATURE MOVING INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL PUSH A ELONGATED COLD FRONT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY REGION BY TUESDAY EVENING/NIGHT. AT THIS POINT...THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE TO THE SOUTH WILL BLOCK THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THIS FRONT. AS A RESULT...STILL EXPECTING THE BOUNDARY TO STALL OUT AND WEAKEN ACROSS KENTUCKY DURING THE MIDWEEK. BEFORE IT IS FINALLY ABLE TO DROP SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY...WINDS WILL HAVE TRANSITIONED TO A MORE NRLY DIRECTION...AND DRIER MORE STABLE AIR WILL HAVE MOVED INTO THE REGION. POPS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE REGION BY LATE THURSDAY...WITH CLOUDS FOLLOWING SUIT. TEMPS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO DROP BY THURSDAY...REACHING THE LOW 80S FOR HIGHS...BUT WITH MUCH LESS HUMIDITY IN THE AIR. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING SHOULD KEEP POPS OUT OF EASTERN KY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. MEANWHILE...GOOD DIURNAL RADIATION WILL ALLOW FOR WARMING HIGH TEMPERATURES /BACK INTO THE MID AND UPPER 80S/ FOR SATURDAY...WHILE RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL DROP TEMPS BACK DOWN TO THE LOW 60S OVERNIGHT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 123 PM EDT SUN JUN 29 2014 NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SME AND LOZ BEING IMPACTED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND JKL AND SJS IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. AFTER LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL BRING AN INCREASED THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN LATE TONIGHT. FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TONIGHT WITH IFR OR WORSE CONDITIONS IMPACTING THE REGION INTO MONDAY MORNING. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO VFR AFTER 12Z MONDAY...BUT MORE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY AFTERNOON. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
