NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 3, 3:57 PM EST, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 457 PM EDT TUE JUN 3 2014 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 420 PM EDT TUE JUN 3 2014 LATE THIS AFTERNOON...A COLD FRONT TRIALING SOUTH ROM LOW PRESSURE OVER ONTARIO/QUEBEC HAS SAGGED SOUTH TOWARD THE MIDDLE AND LOWER OH VALLEY REGION. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD EVENTUALLY STALL NEAR THE OH RIVER OR PERHAPS INTO THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA LATER TONIGHT BEFORE RETREATING NORTH ON WED AS LOW PRESSURE ORGANIZES OVER THE PLAINS IN RESPONSE TO A MID LEVEL WAVE WORKING INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO ROTATE ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND LOWER OH VALLEY REGION AND INTO THE APPALACHIANS BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. AT THE SFC...THE LOW SHOULD TRACK EAST TO EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS THE MIDWEST REGION TOMORROW MORNING AND NEAR THE UPPER OH VALLEY REGION AND CENTRAL APPALACHIANS LATE ON WED EVENING. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT SHOULD WORK INTO EAST KY LATE IN THE PERIOD... BUT NOT PASS SOUTH OF ALL OF EAST KY UNTIL EARLY IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD...ON THU. A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS IS ALREADY IN PLACE IN THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS THE OH AND TN VALLEY REGIONS. SOME CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG AND IN ADVANCE OF THE BOUNDARY...BUT THE BULK OF THIS HAS REMAINS NORTH OF THE OH RIVER...SO FAR. ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS EAST KY SO FAR WITH A THUNDERSTORM RECENTLY HAVING DEVELOPED OVER CENTRAL KY TO THE SW OF LEX. THE NEAR TERM MODELS GENERALLY HAVE ACTIVITY INCREASING A BIT INTO THE EVENING THEN SOME DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...WITH THE REGION IN THE WARM SECTOR SOME ISOLATED ACTIVITY CANNOT BE RULED OUT AGAIN...TOWARD DAWN. CONVECTION DURING THROUGH LATE WED AFTERNOON SHOULD FOCUS CLOSER TO THE RETREATING WARM FRONT AND TO ITS NORTHEAST WHILE AT THE SAME TIME...ACTIVITY SHOULD BE ORGANIZING INTO AN MCS OR AN MCS OF LEFTOVER ACTIVITY THAT IS NOW OVER THE PLAINS STRENGTHENING OVER THE MIDWEST. THE MAIN WEATHER CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT FROM WED EVENING INTO WED NIGHT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE A THREAT. TIMING OF THIS EVENT AND EVOLUTION REMAIN SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME...HOWEVER...SUBSTANTIAL SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE EVENING WITH A WARM AND MOIST UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE. THE SHEAR THEN FOCUSES MORE IN THE LOWER LEVELS. INITIALLY NEAR AND TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF THE SFC LOW TRACK AND ATTENDANT WARM FRONT ON WED AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...DISCRETE CONVECTION WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES WOULD ALSO BE POSSIBLE. ATTM...THIS APPEARS MORE PROBABLE MAINLY NORTH OF EAST KY..GENERALLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 64. THE DURING THE MID TO LATE EVENING...THE MODEL CONSENSUS SEEMS TO TAKE THE MAIN THRUST OF A POSSIBLE MCS ACROSS SOUTHERN IL/IN/ACROSS OH AND NORTHERN KY TOWARD THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. THIS WOULD PUT THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MTN PARKWAY FROM THIS POTENTIAL MCS OR ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG OUTFLOWS AND IN ADVANCE OF THE TRAILING COLD FRONT. CONVECTION ON THE SOUTHERN AND SOUTHWEST EXTENT ACROSS EAST KY BASED ON SHEAR AND INSTABILITY FORECASTS WOULD FAVOR A STRONG TO SEVERE SQUALL LINE OR BOW ARRIVING IN ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 64 PRIOR TO SUNSET AND THEN CROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY ABOUT 5Z. THIS OF COURSE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION SHOULD OUTRUN THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT AND SHOWERS AND SOME EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE UNTIL THE FRONT CROSS THE AREA...OR BEYOND THE END OF THE NEAR TERM PERIOD. THE MULTIPLE THREATS CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWO...WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS THE 60 TO 75 RANGE BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT...THOUGH HAIL AND AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. WITH PW PROGGED TO CLIMB INTO THE 1.6 TO 1.75 RANGE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME TRAINING AT LEAST ON THE SW FLANK OF ANY MCS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE. THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN RATHER DRY ACROSS THE REGION...SO UNLESS AN AREAS GETS HIT HARD TONIGHT OR ON WED...POOR DRAINAGE AND PONDING OF WATER WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE MOST LIKELY IMPACTS. WE HAVE CONTINUED WITH BOTH SEVERE ATTRIBUTES FROM JUST PRIOR TO SUNSET ON WED EVENING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF THU IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST. ALONG WITH THIS A LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ATTRIBUTE IS ALSO INCLUDED FROM THE EVENING INTO OVERNIGHT. .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY) ISSUED AT 300 PM EDT TUE JUN 3 2014 MODELS ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT. PATTERN CAN BE BEST DESCRIBED AS PROGRESSIVE WITH THE CORE OF THE WESTERLIES GENERALLY SOUTH OF THE NORTHERN TIER...A BIT FURTHER SOUTH FOR MAIN STORM TRACKS THAN TYPICALLY FOUND THIS TIME OF YEAR. CONSEQUENTLY SYSTEMS WILL TEND TO PASS COMPLETELY THROUGH OUR AREA VERSUS STALLING OUT ON TOP OF US AS IS TYPICAL OF MORE RECENT SUMMERS...OR METEOROLOGICAL SUMMERS. MOST SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN EXTENDED MODEL SOLUTIONS SHOW UP IN THE TIMING OF SYSTEMS THROUGH OUR CURRENT PROGRESSIVE PATTERN. SHORT WAVE RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION BEHIND EXITING COLD FRONTAL SYSTEM EARLY IN THE PERIOD. CORRESPONDING CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRANSIT THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY TO START THE WEEKEND...PUSHING THE SURFACE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. NEXT SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE RAPIDLY OVER THE PLAINS DURING THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...PULLING A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY BACK NORTHWARD THROUGH OUR AREA LATE SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT AND ANOTHER COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH EASTERN KENTUCKY LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON OR SUNDAY NIGHT. A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE EASTERN CONUS TO FINISH OUT THE FORECAST. FOR SENSIBLE WEATHER JUST FOLLOWED ALONG WITH A BLEND OF MODEL GUIDANCE IN AN EFFORT TO MITIGATE TIMING DIFFERENCES. OF COURSE WITH PROGRESSIVE PATTERN AND WESTERLIES SO FAR SOUTH TEMPERATURES SHOULD GENERALLY RUN ABOUT AVERAGE OR SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORM. FRIDAY LOOKS TO BE A NEAR PERFECT DAY FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES WITH PLEASANTLY WARM...AND DRY/LOW HUMIDITY WEATHER. SATURDAY APPEARS GOOD ENOUGH BUT WITH INCREASING WARMTH AND MORE MUGGY CONDITIONS. BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL ARRIVE VERY LATE SATURDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT...THEN AGAIN LATE SUNDAY OR MORE LIKELY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. ALSO...CAN NOT RULE OUT SOMETHING BETWEEN THE WARM FRONTAL PASSAGE SATURDAY NIGHT AND THE APPROACH OF THE COLD FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT...EARLY MONDAY SINCE WE WILL FIND OURSELVES IN THE WARM SECTOR. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 200 PM EDT TUE JUN 3 2014 CLOUD BASES CONTINUE TO RISE IN THE WAKE OF THE SHOWERS FROM EARLIER TODAY. OVERALL...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A COLD FRONT SAGS TOWARD THE AREA AND LEAVES MOST OF THE CWA IN THE WARM SECTOR. THE BOUNDARY SHOULD STALL ABOUT 6Z TO 12Z OR SO...AND THEN RETREATS NORTH LATE IN THE PERIOD. ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA 18Z TO 02Z...AND SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION MAY DEVELOP CLOSER TO THE BOUNDARY AND THEN MIGRATE TOWARD THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CWA 22Z TO 4Z. OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION...MVFR AND POSSIBLY SOME IFR VALLEY FOG IS POSSIBLE 5Z TO 13Z. SOME STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM...JP LONG TERM...RAY AVIATION...JP
