AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 405 PM EDT MON SEP 8 2014 .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 405 PM EDT MON SEP 8 2014 IN GENERAL MORNING MODELS RUNS ARE SHOWING DECENT AGREEMENT. MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE IS CURRENTLY PUSHING NORTHEAST OUT OF OUR AREA AND INTO THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY. MOST CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN IN THE SOUTHEAST WHERE THERE HAS BEEN LESS CLOUD COVER...AMPLE SFC HEATING FOR DIURNAL INSTABILITY. WHILE EFFECTS OF SHORT WAVE ON OUR AREA HAS BEEN LIMITED...SFC MOISTURE/DEW POINTS HAS RISEN CONSIDERABLY AS A RESULT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF FOG TONIGHT. HOWEVER EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL NOT BE AS COOL AS THIS MORNINGS. SO FOG MAY NOT BE QUITE AS DENSE AS THIS MORNING. JUST THE SAME DID PASS ON CONCERNS TO INCOMING SHIFT. OTHERWISE...WEATHER WILL BE DRIVEN BY BROAD ZONAL FLOW WITH LITTLE IF ANY ACTIVE WEATHER THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMS AS WELL. .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 405 PM EDT MON SEP 8 2014 MAJOR PATTERN CHANGE WILL OCCUR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD...WITH A TRANSITION TO FALL LIKE WEATHER. CONTINUES TO BE GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON A POTENT COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA ON THURSDAY. BEST DYNAMICS WILL REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA...AND FRONT WILL BECOME SHEARED AS SURFACE LOW MOVES INTO QUEBEC ON THURSDAY. WITH A MORE WEST-EAST ORIENTATION TO THE FRONT AND PWS FORECAST IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES ON THURSDAY...AROUND THE 99TH PERCENTILE...WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION FOR HEAVY RAINS. HEAVY RAIN LOOKS TO BE A GREATER THREAT THAN SEVERE WEATHER AT THIS TIME. THE FRONT WILL USHER IN MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. REINFORCING SURGES OF COOL AIR WILL OCCUR THIS WEEKEND AND AGAIN NEXT WEEK...AND THERE WILL BE SHOWER CHANCES FOR AT LEAST PARTS OF THE AREA WITH THESE. AFTER THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE ON THURSDAY TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE BELOW NORMAL INTO NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 259 PM EDT MON SEP 8 2014 PESKY LOW STRATUS AND FOG FINALLY LIFTED BY MID DAY. STILL SEEING SOME INTERMITTENT MVFR CIGS AT A FEW PLACES BUT DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD CONTINUE TO WORK ITS MAGIC LIFTING BASES JUST A BIT MORE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. RADAR DOES SHOW SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY KICKING OFF. BUT DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN SLOW. HIGH RES MODELS SUGGEST THAT A CLUSTER OF STORMS MAY DEVELOP AND MOVE NORTHWARD OUT OF TN LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AFFECTING MAINLY OUR SOUTHWESTERN TERMINALS. WILL WATCH CLOSELY BUT CURRENT THINKING IS THAT ACTIVITY WILL GENERALLY LEAN TOWARDS BEING MORE ISOLD OVER THOSE AREAS AND MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE OVER OUR FAR SOUTH AND EAST. EXPECT FOG TO REDEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA AGAIN TONIGHT...BUT NOT QUITE AS WIDESPREAD AND DENSE AS THIS MORNING. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD... GENERALLY FROM THE WEST SOUTHWEST DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SHORT TERM...RAY LONG TERM...SBH AVIATION...RAY
