June 14, 2011 Forecast

Provided by RAP/UCAR
This is tomorrow's forecast for June 14, 2011.
A low pressure system is projected to move into the Missouri/Kansas region tomorrow. This low will be attached to a high pressure by a cold front, and also to another low by a stationary front.
The low and warm front attached will push slightly northward, providing the Lower Great Lakes with a bout of showers and thunderstorms around the 10am- 3pm CDT period.
A trough will ignite some isolated showers and a small potential for thunderstorms in the Northeast. Cities like Albany and New York will be affected.
A low pressure system in south Canada with a trough extending south will also provide a base for showers and potential storms. That will make the North Plains, Midwest and West Great Lakes a wet area for tomorrow, ruling out their chances to be nominated as the Place to Be.
Unfortunately, the low pressure system and warm/stationary front will ignite potentially severe thunderstorms. Some interesting key points are how instability will reach into the 3000's. Lifted Index points will plunge to     -10 or below. Wind shear is in the range for up to 60 knots.
All of these factors combined are a good indicator of potential rotating supercell storms. The Storm Prediction Center outlined much of the region associated with the low and warm/stationary front as a slight risk of severe weather, with potential of a severe weather event (hail, damaging winds and/or tornado) exceeding 30%.

June 13- Place to Be: Louisville, KY

Today's Place to Be is Louisville, Kentucky.

Louisville
HIGH- 80
Weather- Mostly Sunny

June 12- Final Bulletin on Post-Tropical Cyclone Adrian

Adrian has weakened below Tropical Storm Status and doesn't even deserve to be that at this point. See the below infrared imagery.
Adrian is literally only a strong couple of storm cells wading in the ocean. Although you can still see the bands of energy surrounding the 'center' of Adrian, This storm cell will be fading shortly.
The NHC had some trouble recognizing Adrian as well, and decided to name it 'Unknown'.

This is the final bulletin of Adrian that will be issued.
