Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Louisville KY 1230 AM EST Mon Dec 6 2021 .Forecast Update... Issued at 1005 PM EST Sun Dec 5 2021 As the CWA remains ahead of an approaching cold front, breezy south winds are keeping temperatures very mild in the upper 50s to mid 60s, but as the front nears, expect periods of isolated to scattered storms to move from the southwest to northeast through the area. These storms will produce periods of heavy rainfall, lightning, gusty winds, and small hail. The main line of precipitation is expected to begin entering Dubois County, Indiana around 6z. Then, work its way through southern Indiana and central Kentucky during the rest of the night. Periods of heavy rain and lightning should be expected, but the greater concern is the wind profile, mainly over the western half of the CWA. Low level (0-500 m) storm relative helicity values are over 200 m2/s2. This is very favorable for low level rotation, but low level lapse rates/instability are weak which is helping keep strong storms from becoming surface based. It's also helping keep (55 knot) 850 mb winds from reaching the surface. SBCAPE/MLCAPE values are still up to 1,000 J/kg, also better over the western half of the CWA. Currently, the main line ahead of the front is firing up across southern Missouri and Illinois, and the Kentucky Mesonet is showing peak gusts just under 30 mph. && .Short Term...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 245 PM EST Sun Dec 5 2021 ...Isolated Severe Storms Possible Tonight... A mid-latitude cyclone continues to gradually strengthen from the northern Plains to Upper Midwest this afternoon, with a 1000 mb sfc low over western MN, triple point over IA, and cold front extending west across KS. A warm front extends east into the Ohio Valley and continues to lift north with time. Increasing southerly flow and an area of clearing now over the eastern CWA have boosted temperatures into the 60s to right around 70 degrees near the TN border. Sfc dewpoints continue to exhibit a gradient with mid 40s lingering in the northern Bluegrass. Elsewhere, sfc dewpoints are now in the mid/upper 50s with low 60s observed in western KY. Strong theta-e advection continues this afternoon and evening as the warm sector becomes very well established. The strengthening southwesterly LLJ and moist isentropic ascent will bring scattered showers and a few storms to the area this afternoon and evening. PWAT values have already increased to around 1.2 inches in western KY, and this axis of moisture will continue to spread north and east into central KY and southern IN. Later tonight, we see the arrival of strong, deep lift focused along the sfc cold front. The upper level trough continues to amplify over the Upper Midwest/western Great Lakes, placing the CWA under the right entrance region of a 140 kt jet streak over MI/Lake Huron. A 55 kt southwesterly LLJ will be over the area at 06z as the cold front begins to impinge on the northwestern CWA. Around this time, we're also likely to see additional multicellular development to the south in portions of south-central and west-central KY. Storm motion will be to the northeast around 45-50 kt. With such strong SW winds just off the surface, wind gusts of 30-40 mph will be possible beginning late this afternoon outside of any showers or convection. LCL-EL layer mean wind is largely parallel to the southwestward- extending cold front, and given such strong linear forcing and marginal instability, a squall line will be the primary convective mode overnight and early Monday. This will be a high shear, low CAPE QLCS capable of producing localized damaging wind gusts and tornadoes. Shear, especially low-level shear and SRH, is extremely strong. The environment immediately downstream of the QLCS will be characterized by 0-1 km shear of 40-50 kts, 0-1 km SRH above 300 m2/s2, and notable low-level veering. Above 1 km, the wind profile is largely just strong unidirectional (SW) flow with even slight backing in the mid-levels. As for instability, it is marginal. However, with a cool-season QLCS with such strong dynamics, it only takes a small amount of CAPE to get severe weather. Global model and CAM forecast soundings do suggest the elimination of a shallow low- level inversion late this evening. The arrival of sfc dewpoints near 60 certainly plays a role with that. Marginal instability on the order of 200-700 J/kg CAPE is likely to be surface-based. The 0-3 km shear vector is WSW and increases from 40 to 50 kts between 06-12z, so that does have at least some component perpendicular to the line. Bowing segments could locally increase the damaging wind and tornado threat. Very much in agreement with SPC's Day 1 expansion of the Marginal and Slight Risk areas, as well as the 2% TOR risk. Finally, there is a low-end threat for minor flooding after 06z as well. HREF PMM QPF indicates a potential for 1.5+ inches of rain in 3 hours associated with the convection. The anomalous PWAT values also support heavy rainfall rates. The heavy rainfall rates will be brief, however. Limited residence time and dry antecedent conditions will significantly reduce the threat for flash flooding. FORECAST CONFIDENCE... Confidence in isolated severe weather is medium. Confidence in flash flooding is low. TIMING... The most likely time frame for severe weather is Midnight - 7 AM EST. Rain likely clears the Bluegrass and Lake Cumberland regions by mid- morning. Expect breezy northwest flow and falling temperatures through the day. Temperatures will remain near 60 F overnight but 40s will be common by lunchtime on Monday. .Long Term...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 244 PM EST Sun Dec 5 2021 Synopsis... A very active week is in store. After tonight's heavy rain and possible severe storms, an upper level wave will bring moisture that will interact with cold surface temperatures to result in a chance of some light snow Tuesday night. Another system will follow on the heels of the Tuesday night weather-maker and bring us a chance of showers and a few storms Thursday and possibly Friday...and then a stronger disturbance will bring the threat of another round of showers and storms this weekend, especially Saturday night (as things look right now). Stay tuned to the latest weather information to keep on top of these systems and the variety of weather they will bring this week. Technical Discussion... Monday night into Tuesday look dry with zonal flow aloft and a surface high pressure of Canadian origin sliding through the Ohio Valley. This cold air mass will take temperatures Monday night down into the lower 20s. Temperatures in southern and eastern parts of central Kentucky will be 30 degrees colder at sunrise on Tuesday than they were at dawn on Monday! An upper trough will take aim at us Tuesday night and bring our next chance of unsettled weather. Isentropic lift does increase overnight on the 295K surface, but remains weak. Also, there will be significant dry air in the 925-750mb layer that falling precipitation will have to overcome, and there is some question of how much those lower levels will moisten up. The trend from the models and WPC has been to back off on snow amounts, and will continue that in this package with forecast amounts only around a trace west of I-65 and less than an inch to the east (higher amounts will be possible in the eastern Kentucky foothills and Appalachians). Keeping snowfall totals low is also in agreement with all EPS and most GEFS members. As for surface temperatures, even though most places are seeing air temperatures in the 60s today (even some 70s), with the cold Canadian high coming in Monday night with temperatures in the 20s and the mercury only recovering into the 30s on Tuesday (perhaps lower 40s near the Tennessee border), ground surface temperatures will come down from today's 2" soil readings in the mid 40s. Road surface temperature forecasts keep pavement temperatures mostly above freezing, but do suggest that a brief dip to around 32 degrees may be possible. So, it looks like the main issues for the Wednesday morning commute might be some slick spots on elevated surfaces like overpasses and bridges. Perhaps a little bit of snow in grassy areas and on rooftops as well. Precipitation will taper off Wednesday as the upper trof axis moves overhead midday and drier air moves in. We'll get a brief break Wednesday night as weak shortwave ridging passes overhead commensurate with weak pressure rises at the surface. There are some timing questions for rain later this week, but for now it looks like Thursday into Thursday night, and possibly into Friday, the next system coming in from the west will bring us a chance of showers and perhaps a few rumbles of thunder as well. The weekend looks interesting as a conspicuous upper trough barges through the eastern half of the United States while a surface low ejects from the central Plains to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Right now Saturday and Saturday evening look like the most likely time for showers and thunderstorms. There should be plenty of shear in this seasonably strong system along with some instability and high precipitable water values. ECMWF EFI is .5 to .6 with a slightly positive SoT. NAEFS is showing uncommonly robust vapor transport compared to climatology. Definitely something to keep an eye on over the coming week. From Thursday through Sunday rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches won't be out of the question. Current soil moisture levels are near normal, but with tonight's heavy rain plus the additional wet systems coming in over the next week, and a lack of green vegetation on unfrozen ground, groundwater levels may rise. We typically see increased chances of wetter than normal conditions during La Nina winters and the Climate Prediction Center is indeed forecasting increased chances of above normal precipitation this winter. Just something to watch, if groundwater levels become and remain high through the winter and potentially have an impact on late winter/early spring flooding potential. && .Aviation...(06Z TAF Issuance) Issued at 1225 AM EST Mon Dec 6 2021 Showers and storms will affect the terminals off and on through the night, with only BWG initially rain-free for the first couple hrs of the TAF period. Look for MVFR ceilings below 2000 feet at times and vis briefly dropping into IFR in the heaviest rain. Prevailing gusts will be 25-30 kt out of the SW overnight. Main squall line pushes through in the few hrs just before daybreak, and we'll keep the prevailing 25-30 kt gusts. Can't rule out 35-40 kt gusts but that will be too brief and may not even directly affect any of the terminals, so will not mention in the TAFs. Cold front pushes off to the east and southeast by mid-morning, with winds coming around to W-NW and cig/vis improving to VFR as the rain departs. Will keep gusts up around 25 kt for most of the daylight hours, with winds laying down after sunset. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IN...None.

RASThe Louisville radar (KLVX), 75 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 06:01 UTC.
11 thunderstorm wind, 2 tornado. Local standard time, as filed.
Trees and power lines were down across Boldrick Avenue near Woodlawn Avenue.
A tree was partially blocking Short Line Pike near 68 East.
Trees were reported down on Tank Pond Road.
A tree was reported down near the intersection of High Street and Fifth Street.
Trees were reported down on Yates Road near Highway 300. The dispatcher also reported that there was high water in the area.
The National Weather Service conducted a storm damage survey in Franklin County from storms that occurred early Monday morning.
The survey team determined that a tornado touched down on the 1100 block of Manley Leestown Road, about two miles north of Frankfort. Drone imagery showed a well built 40 by 60 foot barn had significant roof damage and the south wall blown out.
The skipping tornado then went through a large grove of trees. Dozens of trees were twisted and uprooted, ranging from cedar to maple to Osage orange trees. About a dozen cedar trees were twisted and laying in multiple directions.
The tornado then hit a well-built two-story house on the 100 block of Shadrick Ferry Road. The southwest side of the house had significant damage and that portion of the roof fell to the north northeasterly direction. Insulation from the house went from the north all the way to a southwesterly direction. A doorbell camera showed the distinct tornado with debris being thrown in all directions around 411 AM EST.
The tornado appeared to lift briefly before touching down on the 6000 block of Owenton Road. A brand new, well constructed 30 by 50 barn took significant damage to the roof. Both garage doors were blown in with tool chests and many heavier items being scattered about the garage. Throughout the entire barn the thick concrete foundation was shifted about an inch. Immediately next to the barn, there was a one story family residence that had no damage whatsoever.
Large sections of roof were thrown 60 yards into the neighbors trees and yard. The tornado lifted at this point. The winds were consistently between 85 and 90 mph along this narrow path, and the width was between 40 and 50 yards.
The National Weather Service would like to thank Franklin County Emergency Management Deputy Ray Kinney for his assistance with the survey.
The National Weather Service in Louisville, Kentucky conducted a storm survey in Scott County, Kentucky of storm damage that occurred early Monday morning.
The survey team determined that a tornado touched down just southwest of the Parkers Mobile Home Park in Stamping Ground. The initial touchdown was in a wooden fenced area with uprooted trees and significant damage to the wooden fence. Wind speeds were estimated to be between 80 and 85 mph initially.
The tornado increased in speed and diameter, striking the mobile home park causing|significant damage. Trailers were lifted off their foundation, some trailers were flipped|over and or turned in a different direction. Insulation and metal siding from the trailers|were thrown up into the trees. Deck pieces were thrown and impaled into the ground, trees were twisted and snapped, and numerous air conditioner units were thrown several feet. The tornado increased to around 95 mph with a width of 60 yards.
The most obvious signs of a tornado were outbuildings were picked up and thrown upwind, with insulation on both sides of the buildings.
The damage direction from the trees, and insulation from mobile homes ranged north to southeasterly.
The tornado became more of a skipping tornado as it moved to the east with the last damage being some power poles and trees at the corner of Edgewood Way and 227.
Just east of Stamping Ground, the survey team found a significant area of straight line winds along Duvall Station Road. A third of a mile swath of concentrated wind damage occurred 2 miles east of Stamping Ground.
It started out in a grove of trees with large branches and trees knocked down all facing from the southwesterly to the east northeast direction. Wind speeds were estimated initially to be 65 to 70 mph. A well constructed barn had its roof panels ripped off and doors blown in. Metal sheeting from the barn was thrown up to 500 yards down wind. Two other barns on the other side of the road had similar damage. Shingles from two family homes were thrown a hundred yards. Wind speeds from the well constructed barn, were determined to be 80 mph. The damage area was about a quarter mile by a third of a mile.
The National Weather Service would like to thank Scott county emergency manager Mike Hennigan for his assistance with the survey.
