AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Jackson KY
324 PM EDT Sun May 17 2026

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Very warm and mainly dry weather will persist into Tuesday.

- A potential for showers and thunderstorms arrives late Tuesday
  and Tuesday night and lasts through next weekend, and along
  with it, somewhat lower temperatures.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(tonight through Monday night)
Issued at 324 PM EDT SUN MAY 17 2026

Ridging at all levels over the southeast CONUS will be our primary
influence through the short term period. The main flow aloft (out
of the southwest) and embedded waves will be going around us to
our west and north, along with the greatest low level flow off
the gulf and its moisture. Thus, clouds and precip should be
confined in that direction. This will result in clear or mostly
clear skies with another very warm day here on Monday, but with
substantial diurnal ranges of around 30 deg F for valleys. South
to southwest low level flow will keep ridges milder each night.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 324 PM EDT SUN MAY 17 2026

An updated long term discussion will be sent shortly.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 135 PM EDT SUN MAY 17 2026

A bit of valley fog will affect some locations with IFR or worse
conditions overnight and early Monday, but it is not expected to
affect TAF sites. Otherwise, VFR conditions are forecast during
the period.

&&

.JKL WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
None.
