AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
326 PM EDT Sun May 19 2024

  Wednesday afternoon through Sunday.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 325 PM EDT SUN MAY 19 2024

Southwest/northeast oriented ridging at all levels will slowly pass
east over the region during the period, resulting in dry weather
with mainly clear skies. Strong, nearly full sun (within about a
month of summer solstice) will result in very warm afternoon
temperatures on Monday, well into the 80s. Our atmosphere aloft
will continue to be very dry, creating good radiating conditions.
With light low levels winds, valleys will readily decouple from
the flow each evening, leading to typical ridge/valley min
temperature differences, as well as valley fog. The temperatures
differences will be greatest on Monday night, as weak warm air
advection keeps ridges warmer than tonight.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 325 PM EDT SUN MAY 19 2024

An updated long term discussion will be sent shortly.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 201 PM EDT SUN MAY 19 2024

and winds less than 10 kts are forecast through the period. The
fog is forecast to temporarily affect a few TAF sites with sub-VFR
conditions.
