Fxus63 kjkl 230030 aaa afdjkl area forecast discussion... Updated national weather service jackson ky 830 pm edt Wed may 22 2019 Update Issued at 815 pm edt Wed may 22 2019 23z sfc analysis shows high pressure through the southeast parts of the country with mid level ridging building overhead. This is suppressing any convection heading toward our area from the west. Skies ahead of the dying showers are mostly clear and allowed temperatures to reach record levels in the mid to upper 80s through most of the jkl CWA this afternoon with even a few reports of low 90s. Now readings have fallen back into the lower 80s while dewpoints are generally in the lower 60s. Winds are starting to settle to light and variable after being breezy from the southwest earlier in the afternoon. Expect the skies to become mostly clear later this evening with decent radiational conditions setting up a ridge to valley temperature split. Some light river valley fog can be expected toward dawn, but as it has been the past few nights it should only affect a small part of the area. Have updated the forecast mainly to fine tune the sky cover for the rest of the evening. Also added in the latest obs and trends for the t TD grids. These have been sent to the ndfd and web servers. Short term (this evening through Thursday night) issued at 357 pm edt Wed may 22 2019 a ridge axis sits along the east coast this afternoon with an area of low pressure over the northern plains. A stalled frontal boundary is draped across the ohio river valley. Southwest winds have transported much milder air into the region today with temperatures in the mid to upper 80s presently. The mild conditions will continue tonight with lows generally in the 60s. A few of our eastern valleys could dip into the upper 50s. A shortwave will track into the great lakes on Thursday, pushing a frontal boundary to the south along the ohio river. Still a bit of question how far south this boundary makes it as it will be pushing into the ridge. However, this should provide some weak height falls allowing for at last a slight chance for a few showers and storms to develop Thursday afternoon, mainly across areas of northern kentucky. A few showers or storms could develop along the higher terrain in southeast kentucky, but even this is uncertain. Either way, most of the area will stay dry as the activity should be fairly sporadic. The frontal boundary could keep the threat of a shower or storm going into Thursday night, but instability should be decreasing with only the threat of a shower continuing in northeast kentucky through dawn on Friday. Highs on Thursday should stay in the mid to upper 80s. If a storm can get going on Thursday afternoon or evening, some gusty winds

would be possible as the shear is sufficient to allow for a few organized storms. Long term (Friday through Wednesday) issued at 357 pm edt Wed may 22 2019 a summertime upper level ridge will be setup south the gulf coast to the great lakes to begin the period on Friday. This ridging should limit better convective coverage, but afternoon highs will meet convective temperatures. However, coverage will be isolated in nature given the lack of better forcing mechanisms. The ridge will shift and we will see more localized zonal flow across the ohio valley. This could open more convective potential through the weekend, but coverage should still remain spotty on Saturday. Then by Sunday a upper level wave at the 500 mb level will ride along the zonal westerly flow. This will increase coverage especially across northern portions of the cwa. The better shear and instability will be north and will have to see how this trends. The biggest concern for lesser severe risk would be the lack of balance in the shear and CAPE parameters in this setup. After this the placement of upper level features becomes more disjointed from model to model. On Monday the placement of the ridge will keep us open to diurnally driven convection. This will keep a slight to chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms on Monday. However, by Tuesday into Wednesday the models struggle with the location of the ridge axis, as the GFS for example pushes a trough east quicker changing the orientation of the ridge axis. This will have implications on if and when will we see additional convection through the remainder of the period. Therefore will keep the chances of mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms in the isolated category both Tuesday and Wednesday. The temperatures will average around 10 degrees above normal for this time of year through the extended period. There will also be some days where record high temperatures could be met or exceeded under this summer time airmass. Aviation (for the 00z tafs through 00z Thursday evening) issued at 830 pm edt Wed may 22 2019 vfr conditions will continue through the forecast period. Any river valley fog will not affect the TAF sites. Winds will be light and variable through the night with a pick up during the day Thursday from the southwest to between 5 and 10 kts.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
