Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service Jackson KY
510 AM EDT Thu Jul 7 2022

08Z sfc analysis shows a wavy frontal boundary just to the north
of the JKL CWA placing the area firmly in the warm sector of a
larger weather pattern. This has made for another warm and muggy 
night with a few nocturnal storms ongoing just south of the
Tennessee border. The thicker clouds over the area last evening 
have thinned and cleared to the point that abundant sfc moisture 
in place has manifested in areas of fog with a few dense patches
noted - primarily on the ridgetops. Otherwise, temperatures (and 
dewpoints) are fairly uniform across the area in the upper 60s and
lower 70s, amid light winds. 

The models are in good agreement aloft through the short term 
portion of the forecast. They all depict the persistent mid level
ridge holding on for one more day before yielding to increasing
shortwave troughing to the north and shifting its core westward.
Even today, this ridge is insufficiently strong to keep energy
from dropping through northeast parts of the CWA likely helping to
spawn renewed convection through the area later today. 5h heights
then further decline aloft on Friday when a fairly strong impulse 
moves into the Ohio Valley - brushing by to the northeast during
that afternoon. Given the small model spread through the short
term did not deviate far from the blended NBM solution aside from
incorporating some mesoscale specifics from the CAMs consensus 
into the evening part of the forecast. 

Sensible weather will feature our warm, humid, and often stormy
period of weather continuing through the end of the work week.
Strong, and potentially severe, storms will probably develop later
this afternoon mainly over the Cumberland Valley. The storms will
be fueled by high levels of CAPE over the area and ample moisture.
Additionally, the DCAPE will be near 1000 j/kg over eastern
Kentucky this afternoon prompting a potential for damaging wind 
gusts while very high PW air supports the threat of excessive 
rainfall - especially where any cell training sets up. The 
instability will fade into the evening and with it the threat for 
severe weather by thunderstorm chances, diminished, remain. Strong
storm then likely return on Friday with a continued threat for 
heavy rainfall and slightly better upper level support. 

Temperatures will be quite warm again today and Friday with high 
humidities pushing heat indices toward 100 degrees, though the 
convection expectations make this far from a certainty for many 
places. Again tonight we can anticipate muggy and warm conditions 
with areas of fog developing and favoring the spots that see the 
best rain today. An SPS has been issued for the potential of high 
heat indices across the area this afternoon, as well. 

The main adjustments to the NBM starting point were to incorporate 
some enhanced details into the PoPs from the CAMs consensus into 
the evening - favoring the Cumberland Valley with the highest
values.

769 FXUS63 KLMK 270137 AFDLMK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Louisville KY 937 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 ...Forecast Update... .KEY MESSAGES... * Warm and breezy this weekend, with gusts exceeding 30 mph out of the southwest at times. * Rain chances return early next week, but above normal temperatures persist. && .UPDATE... Issued at 937 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Looking for another quiet evening across the region with mild lows only dropping into the low and mid 60s for most under steady SE winds and broken mid to upper clouds. A few gusts up in the 20 to 25 mph range are possible at times overnight. Have backed off the pops in our NW a bit as time heights really don't show much saturation in the lower half of the column. Nevertheless, will still carry a small chance of a shower mainly across southern IN overnight, where PWATs are a little higher (moisture is a little deeper). Outside of that, no other changes planned to the forecast at this time. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... Issued at 302 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Currently... Along surface troughing, a thin line of showers is moving through the region. Outside of the showers, there are scattered to broken mid-level clouds streaming overhead and temperatures in the upper 60s and mid 70s. Tonight... As the low pressure system over the central Plains strengthens and propagates northeastward, pressure gradients will tighten over the Ohio Valley. The tightening gradients will lead to breezy sustained winds of 10-14mph and gusting up to 25mph. The warm front associated with this system will sweep through the region in the overnight hours, shifting winds to a southerly direction and allowing weak moisture advection. A 45-50kt LLJ will meander into the region supporting some light, dissipating showers along and east of I-65 in the early morning hours. Low temperatures will be in the low-mid 60s. Saturday... The low pressure system will quickly move over the Great Lakes region, pulling most of the precipitation to the north of the region. Light showers will still be possible until the afternoon over southern Indiana. Gradient winds will continue to strengthen bringing breezy winds around 12-15mph and gusting up to 30mph. Skies will remain mostly cloudy, with some brief breaks towards the late afternoon. High temperatures are expected to be in the upper 70s and low 80s. Dew points will be in the upper 50s and low 60s, rendering Saturday a muggy day. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Issued at 305 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Saturday night into Sunday continue to look dry as upper level ridging promotes subsidence aloft and surface fields lack any sort of lifting mechanism. Breezy southerly to southwesterly winds will continue, particularly Sunday afternoon as the lower boundary layer mixes out. Gusts will likely be in the 20 to 30mph range during the day. A slow moving frontal boundary will then begin to push toward the region on Monday before "fizzling" out with eastward extent. Showers and perhaps a few storms will be possible near the frontal boundary, and depending on how slow the frontal boundary progresses, precipitation could linger into Tuesday. There should be some brief drying behind the front before more active weather arrives by midweek ahead of another frontal boundary. We could see a couple rounds of showers/storms with this particular setup as the frontal boundary will likely be stalled from the Great Lakes region into the southern Plains before a shortwave ejects a low into the Plains and "kicks" everything eastward toward the end of the week. Model members and their respective ensembles have a bit of spread with the timing of features and/or rain and storm chances, so confidence in the forecast details as well as any severe weather potential for this timeframe remain low. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/... Issued at 736 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Things are dry and VFR across the area at this hour, and expect that to continue through the overnight. Look for mid to high clouds with some virga also possible at times. Steady to occasionally gusty SE winds will gradually veer to SSE later tonight. A strong low level jet around 45 knots at 2 K feet will overspread the region just before Midnight, and given around 30 degree of directional shear in addition to the speed shear we are just meeting LLWS criteria. LLWS diminishes around sunrise with stronger S to SSW wind taking hold around 10 to 20 mph, occasionally gusting 20 to 30 mph. Continued mid to high clouds are expected, with perhaps a few morning very light showers around HNB. Not expecting enough impact, if at all, to mention attm. && .LMK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

179 FXUS63 KJKL 270025 AAA AFDJKL AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson KY 825 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Becoming very warm this weekend and lasting at least through the middle of next week. - Showers and thunderstorms may occur at times during the upcoming workweek, with the highest probability being Monday night and Tuesday as an upper level disturbance and dying cold front approach. && .UPDATE... Issued at 825 PM EDT FRI APR 26 2024 00Z sfc analysis shows deep low pressure to the west of the state while a warm front from this is lifting through eastern Kentucky this evening. This boundary has brought plenty of clouds and a few light showers to the area though with a weakening trend noted as the showers slip out of the state over the next hour or so. Currently, temperatures are fairly uniform in the low to mid 60s for most. Meanwhile, amid generally southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph, dewpoints are running in the mid to upper 50s. Have updated the forecast to fine tune the ending of the showers through the rest of the evening as well as to include the current obs and trends for the T/Td/Sky grids. These minor adjustments have been sent to the NDFD and web servers along with a freshening of the zones and SAFs. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night) Issued at 317 PM EDT FRI APR 26 2024 A poorly defined warm front was situated to our southwest this afternoon. A band of clouds and showers was occurring in the isentropic lift northeast of the boundary. The showers were persistent as they moved into our southern counties and are still ongoing. However, models still show them diminishing later today and early this evening as the band continues to shift northeast. Will look for them to dry up by around 10 pm. In the bigger picture, the warm front over TN extends northwest to a deep, stacked low pressure system over NE. Sprawling high pressure was centered off the East Coast. Aloft, ridging extends from eastern Ontario south to the eastern gulf. The NE low will move slowly northeast into Ontario by late Saturday, while another low pressure system develops over KS on Saturday and Saturday night. The first low will pull the warm front further north, placing us in the warm sector by Saturday. The large pressure gradient between the western Atlantic high and the plains/Midwest lows will bring us persistent southerly low level flow. However, the best moisture feed off the gulf will be to our west and northwest, and ridging aloft will be slow to budge. That being the case, there won't be any significant feature to focus precip for our area once the warm front shifts to our north, and dry weather is forecast for Saturday and Saturday night. A warm air mass in place beneath ridging aloft will result in high temperatures nearing 80 for our warmest locations on Saturday. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) Issued at 321 PM EDT FRI APR 26 2024 An active pattern in store in the extended period of the forecast for residents of eastern Kentucky, as a series of weather systems move across the eastern half of the nation. The general upper level flow pattern will start off with a broad trough of low pressure aloft in place over the western half of the CONUS early Sunday, stretching from the west coast eastward into the Great Plains. Another trough is forecast to be moving away from the east coast and out into the Atlantic Ocean to start things off, with ridging building northward from the eastern Gulf of Mexico and up the eastern seaboard into southern New England. Our first rounds of showers and storms will begins moving into our area late Monday afternoon into early Monday evening, as a trough of surface low pressure begins ejecting northeastward out of the north central Plains, ahead of the eastward moving upper trough. The cold front trailing south from the surface low will begin pushing through the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys Monday night and Tuesday. Even though the surface feature will be weakening, there should still be enough instability, lift, and moisture present to fire widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms off along and ahead of the advancing surface front to begin the week. Based on the latest runs of the GFS and ECMWF models, our highest precipitation probabilities should occur from early Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon, as the cold front is passing through. Showers and a few storms will linger behind the departed front Tuesday night, as moisture and lift left over in the wake of the upper low should be just enough to keep convection going for a bit. Based on current model trends, we will not see much of a break in the rain, as a second trough of low pressure aloft will be pushing onshore in the Pacific Northwest early Tuesday, and will be moving our way into the middle of the week. As the upper system moves east and strengthens, another area of low pressure is expected to form over the northern Plains, and will be our weather maker from mid- week onward. This second low is forecast to intensify and then nearly stall our over south central Canada on Wednesday. As this trough spins its wheels just north of the border, another weaker area of low pressure is forecast to take shape over the western slopes of the Rocky's. As these two systems moves east, their energy will phase a bit, and will make for another period of wet weather that will first begin on Wednesday, and will last heading into the upcoming weekend. Several rounds of showers and storms are expected to move through the area during this time, as several pulses of energy aloft rotate around the southern Canada trough. A few weak frontal boundaries will also move through our are, further enhancing rain chances. Based on current forecast soundings, there should be enough instability present, day and night, to keep thunderstorms rolling to finish out the extended. With persistent and increasing southerly and southwesterly flow expected across the area, plenty of warm, moisture Gulf of Mexico air will be advecting into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys all week, and will allow for an extended period of well above normal temperatures for eastern Kentucky. Daily highs should max out in the upper 70s to mid 80s until Friday, when cooler air may finally filter in, giving way to highs in the low to mid 70s for our area. No weather concerns of note at this time, but we will keep a close eye on convective potential for later this week and see if any trends develop that could indicate the potential for strong thunderstorms for our area. We may also see very modest ridge valley temperature differences Sunday night and again Tuesday night, as skies briefly clear and winds become very light. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) ISSUED AT 745 PM EDT FRI APR 26 2024 VFR conditions are expected through the period, but isolated to scattered showers and low end VFR ceilings will affect the region for a time this evening. During the night, low level flow will increase, particularly just off the surface. This raises concerns for low level wind shear overnight from the south at up to 45 kts into Saturday morning. Sfc winds will be generally from the south to southeast at less than 10 kts tonight and up to 15 kts from the south during the day, Saturday. && .JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

006 FXUS63 KPAH 262359 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 659 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Multiple chances of rain and storms forecast through next week with the most widespread rains expected late Sunday through Monday evening. - Severe storms are possible mainly over southeast Missouri and southern Illinois late this afternoon into tonight and again late Sunday into Sunday night. - South winds will gust up to 30 mph Saturday, and 30-40 mph Sunday. && .UPDATE... Issued at 659 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Updated aviation section for 00z TAF issuance. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 234 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 As of this afternoon an upper level shortwave was evident in WV imagery moving into the northern plains while a surface low was moving into NE. A warm front extends from this low across E KS, C MO, and into portions of W KY. Visible imagery shows extensive clearing has taken place across W KY and W TN. This area seems to have a pocket of dry air aloft which should keep things clear this afternoon, albeit the increasing instability. The line of showers and embedded thunderstorms that was located across south central MO this morning has fallen apart as it moved away from better forcing parked to the west. Additional development was noted across NW AR and SW MO that is lifting northeast. This seems to be resolved well in the CAMs. Additional chances of showers and thunderstorms may be possible this afternoon and overnight mainly across SE MO and southern IL. The main threat from this activity would be damaging winds with the probability of strong/severe storms still low given that the better forcing is well west and meager instability. Another disturbance and associated low pressure center will develop across the plains this weekend and will gradually move north into the Great Lakes Sunday into Sunday night. A strengthening pressure gradient between the low situated in the plains, and a surface high off the East Coast will bring breezy south winds this weekend. A boundary is expected to move through the Quad State late Sunday into Monday and will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to the area. At this time, the warm sector airmass looks to be characterized by meager instability. The southern end of an h50 jet max will likely bring increasing bulk shear through the region although this jet core will be lifting out rather quickly. Thus, the environment doesn't look overly impressive and favorable for severe weather across our area, and the current thinking remains the same that a line of storms will likely be moving through the region with a weakening trend. A damaging wind risk seems possible with any stronger convection. Heavy rains, especially in any convection, will be possible as the system moves through with PWAT values near 1.50 inches. Not expected any widespread flooding issues given the progressive nature of this system. Guidance favors a more zonal upper level pattern taking shape Tuesday through Thursday. Additionally, we will remain a southerly flow regime through much of the week favoring a moist and warm airmass with temperatures climbing into the 80's. This pattern suggests chances of showers and storms at times which the NBM has a good handle on. With that said, models haven't been in solid agreement over the past few days leading to lower confidence during this time. && .AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/... Issued at 659 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 At KCGI/KMVN, VFR conditions with scattered shra/isolated tsra between 02z-09z. KCGI could again see some isolated to scattered shra/tsra between 15z-21z. MVFR vsbys possible with storms. At KPAH, VFR conditions expected with isolated/scattered shra possible between 06z-14z. At KEVV/KOWB, conditions will be VFR with potential LLWS between 05z-14z at 020/19040kt. At all sites, surface winds will be from the south to southeast at 7-14kts with gusts of 18-23kts, increasing to 10-20kts with gusts around 25 kts after 13z. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Updated Thursday Evening, December 9, 2021 Severe weather on the table
It has been a rather active weather pattern to start December. Through the 8th, the state has averaged 1.39 inches. Attention now turns to another round of showers and storms tomorrow and Saturday. Altogether, another half to 1.5 inches will be on the table. Coverage will start tomorrow scattered in nature. Highs will jump into the 60s across much of the area behind breezy southerly winds. Shower/storm coverage and intensity then increases tomorrow night and into Saturday morning. A line of storms is expected with damaging winds as the main threat, but tornadoes also very much possible. Heavy rain also presents a flooding threat, especially for low lying areas. Now is the time to get animals out of those spots. Bottom line, this will present an overnight threat, so please have a way to get warning (highly suggest a NOAA Weather Radio).
After a brief cool down for the latter half of the weekend, temperatures go on the uphill climb next week. Outlooks hint the warm air will hang around the area through the third full week of December. Any additional rain chances look to hold off until late workweek.
