NWS Jackson, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 18, 6:40 AM EST, 2 hours 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON KY 640 AM EST WED FEB 18 2015 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 640 AM EST WED FEB 18 2015 SNOW NOW OVERSPREADING THE AREA. MESSY ROAD BEING REPORTED ACROSS CENTRAL KENTUCKY WITH A SOLID INCH TO TWO INCHES ALREADY BEING REPORTED. UPDATED TO FRESHEN UP THE HOURLY GRIDS. OTHERWISE...EVERYTHING IS ON TRACK. && .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 327 AM EST WED FEB 18 2015 A SHARP MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION TODAY... BRINGING A SWATH OF SNOW TO THE AREA THIS MORNING. PER RADAR IMAGERY...SNOW IS JUST NOW PUSHING INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY (BETWEEN LEXINGTON AND LOUISVILLE)...WITH SOME FLURRIES OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN BATCH OF PRECIPITATION. THE RADAR TRENDS TEND TO MATCH THE LATEST HRRR/RAP FAIRLY WELL..SO WILL RELY ON THESE MODELS TO TIME STUFF THROUGH THIS MORNING. NO CHANGES MADE TO THE SNOW FORECAST AS FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK. WHILE THE SNOW SHOULD COVER THE AREA THIS MORNING...THE MORE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS WILL COME THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS THE SYSTEM THIS MORNING DEPARTS...AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT SOUTH WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING AND STRONG WINDS DEVELOPING. LAPSE RATES WILL BECOME VERY STEEP FROM SFC-700MB. WITH THE -20 HEIGHT FALLING TO AROUND 850MB...THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SNOW SQUALLS ACROSS THE REGION WITH WHITE OUT CONDITIONS AND A FEW WIND GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH. GIVEN THE HEIGHT OF THE -20C LAYER AND THE EXPECTED CONVECTIVE NATURE OF SNOW...HAVE INTRODUCED SOME ISOLATED THUNDER. THE SNOW THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE LIGHT AND FLUFFY AND PRONE TO BLOWING AND DRIFTING WHICH WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR THOSE OUT DRIVING AROUND THIS AFTERNOON. NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AS EVERYTHING REMAINS ON TRACK FOR SOME ROUGH CONDITIONS TODAY. THE GUSTY WINDS WILL SUBSIDE HEADING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT...EVENTUALLY TAPERING OFF TO FLURRIES OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...AS SNOW IS ENDING... COLD WEATHER IS STREAMING INTO THE AREA AND WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A VERY COLD STRETCH OF WEATHER. LOWS BY THURSDAY MORNING WILL BE BELOW ZERO. THIS COMBINED WITH THE WINDS...WILL PUT WIND CHILLS BETWEEN -10F AND -20F TONIGHT. FOR THIS REASON...WILL BE HOISTING A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR THE AREA. WHILE FLURRIES MAY PERSIST ON THURSDAY...THE THREAT FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOULD BE GONE. HOWEVER...IT WILL REMAIN FRIGID AND WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY...SO THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY WILL RUN THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY EVENING...BEFORE WINDS BEGIN TO SETTLE DOWN HEADING INTO TOMORROW NIGHT. .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY) ISSUED AT 620 AM EST WED FEB 18 2015 ...COLDEST TEMPERATURES IN TWO DECADES POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT... ...INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR A WINTER STORM FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY... THE MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE PATTERN CHANGE ALOFT THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS A DEEP TROUGH RETREATS TO THE NORTHEAST REPLACED BY DEEP LEVEL SOUTHWEST FLOW. AS THIS OCCURS... PLENTY OF MID LEVEL ENERGY WILL CROSS THE AREA ACCOMPANYING THE HEIGHT RISES...THOUGH THE CORE WAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS FEATURE CROSSES THE REGION QUICKER IN THE ECMWF THAN THE GFS. THE LATTER TAKES A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF ITS WAVE/S ENERGY THROUGH KENTUCKY SUNDAY NIGHT IN CONTRAST TO THE WEAKER...QUICKER AND MORE NORTHERN ECMWF. THROUGH THIS PROCESS THE WHOLE PATTERN BUCKLES WITH BROAD TROUGHING STRETCHED FROM THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE CONTINENT TO THE FAR WEST. THIS WILL BRING PACIFIC MOISTURE THROUGH THE BREADTH OF THE COUNTRY AND INTO THIS AREA IN ADDITION TO AMPLE GULF MOISTURE. EVENTUALLY THE TROUGH AXIS THINS OUT AND LAYS EAST TO WEST OVER THE AREA MAINTAINING THE ENERGY FLOW THROUGH THIS PART OF THE OHIO VALLEY THROUGH MONDAY. THE MODEL SPREAD CONTINUES TO INCREASE WITH TIME SO THAT BY 00Z WEDNESDAY THE ECMWF DEPICTS A VERY DEEP TROUGH MOVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST IN CONTRAST TO MUCH WEAKER TROUGHING OVER THE REGION FROM THE GFS. GIVEN THIS UNCERTAINTY...HAVE AGAIN FAVORED A GENERAL MODEL BLEND WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF FOR DETAILS...BUT THE GFS SOLUTION NEEDS TO BE GIVEN SOME CONSIDERATION IF ONLY FOR ITS EXTREME POTENTIAL. SENSIBLE WEATHER WILL FEATURE A BITTERLY COLD NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...THE LIKES OF WHICH WE HAVE NOT SEEN IN OVER 20 YEARS. THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR TEMPERATURES TO BOTTOM OUT TO MINUS TWENTY OR LOWER SHOULD SKIES BE CLEAR LONG ENOUGH AND WINDS CALM...GIVEN THE DEEP SNOWPACK IN PLACE. AFTER THIS EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES WILL ATTEMPT MODERATE INTO THE WEEKEND AHEAD OF THE NEXT LOW. HOWEVER...THE COLD AIR WILL BE INITIALLY HARD TO DISLODGE AND SET THE STAGE FOR A CLASH OF AIR MASSES FED BY SOUTHWEST FLOW FROM BOTH THE PACIFIC AND THE GULF OF MEXICO. ACCORDINGLY...THERE IS HEIGHTENED CONCERN FOR ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT WINTER PCPN EVENT STARTING FRIDAY NIGHT AND LASTING INTO THE DAY SATURDAY. THE MODEL DISCREPANCIES MAKE FOR A DIFFICULT AND LOWER CONFIDENCE FORECAST. THE ECMWF SUGGESTS MORE IN THE WAY OF SNOW AND SLEET BEFORE A MORE BRIEF TRANSITION TO RAIN BY AFTERNOON AND THROUGH MUCH OF SATURDAY NIGHT. MEANWHILE...THE GFS IS MORE ROBUST AND SUSTAINED WITH THE SYSTEM ITSELF AND ALSO BRINGS UP WARMER AIR AND MORE IN THE WAY OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. WITH SUCH A WARM SURGE...A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN WILL BE A CONCERN FROM LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING DURING THE TRANSITION...AS WELL. ADDITIONALLY...FLOODING DUE TO THE RAINS AND MELTING SNOW WILL BE A RISK OVER THE WEEKEND. FOR THIS REASON...WILL ISSUE AN SPS TO ADDRESS THE MESS AHEAD OF US. THINGS SHOULD SETTLE SOMEWHAT LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK WITH A RENEWED SURGE OF COLDER AIR IN THE WAKE OF THE WEEKEND SYSTEM. THE ECMWF...MORE SO THAN THE MORE BENIGN GFS...SUGGESTS THAT A SNOW THREAT WILL REDEVELOP MONDAY AHEAD OF A ANOTHER ARCTIC PUSH TO CLOSE OUT THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST. GIVEN THE MODEL DIFFERENCES...ESPECIALLY FOR SENSIBLE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND AND BEYOND...THE CR BLENDER GRIDS MAY NOT REPRESENT THE BEST SOLUTION...BUT ONE OF LEAST REGRETS AND MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AS SUCH...HAVE MADE SOME TWEAKS TO HEDGE MORE TOWARD THE ECMWF SCENARIO. ALSO...WENT FOR THE RECORD SETTING COLD FRIDAY MORNING WITH THE GRIDS...IGNORING THE MILDER MOS GUIDANCE IN FAVOR OF THE RAW MODEL DATA...DUE TO THE SNOW COVER AND HISTORIC NATURE OF THIS AIR MASS. OTHERWISE...ONLY MADE MINOR TWEAKS TO TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD...MAINLY TO ADD TERRAIN DETAILS AT NIGHT. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY MORNING) ISSUED AT 640 AM EST WED FEB 18 2015 A POTENT WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING...BRINGING WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOW TO THE REGION. MVFR CIGS WILL SET IN QUICKLY THIS MORNING IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. THE WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOULD EXIT BY MIDDAY...BUT MOISTURE FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL INTERACT WITH A SECONDARY DISTURBANCE PUSHING ACROSS THE AREA...TO YIELD CONVECTIVE SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THESE SNOW SHOWERS WILL CAUSE NEAR WHITE OUT CONDITIONS AT TIMES AND BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS. THESE SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE INTERMITTENT THROUGH EARLY EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING TO WEAKER SNOW SHOWERS FOR TONIGHT. WINDS IN AND AROUND THE SNOW SQUALLS COULD ALSO GUST TO 30 MPH AT TIMES. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
