Possible Outcomes
Weather forecasting involves uncertainty. Below are two scenarios representing the range of possible outcomes: the "Boom" scenario shows the worst-case/highest-impact result if conditions align unfavorably, while the "Bust" scenario shows the best-case/lowest-impact result if the forecast doesn't materialize as expected.
The 'Boom' Scenario
The NAM 'Bullseye' scenario: Convective training along a stalled surface boundary leads to 4+ inches of rain in the Northwest Pennyrile and 50mph wind gusts in the Bluegrass, resulting in localized flash flooding and minor wind damage.
The 'Bust' Scenario
The Euro 'Steady Hand' scenario: Faster entrainment of dry air into the mid-levels truncates rainfall totals to under 0.75 inches for most, with wind gusts remaining below 25mph as the LLJ stays elevated.
Model Disagreements
When models disagree, a call must be made to determine the most likely outcome. This decision is based on a combination of factors including model performance, historical data, and the models general accounting of each climatic region of Kentucky.
LLJ Momentum Transfer
The NAM is much more aggressive with surface wind gusts (40-48 mph) than the Euro or GFS (25-30 mph), despite similar 850mb jet speeds.
Why NAM Wins
The NAM's higher resolution typically captures the vertical mixing and momentum transfer of a low-level jet more accurately in high-moisture, high-shear summer environments.
The QPF Magnitude Conflict
Models disagree significantly on the intensity of rainfall. The NAM produces localized totals over 3 inches due to intense convective training, whereas the GFS and Euro show a more smeared, stratiform 0.75-1.25 inch event.
Why BLEND Wins
While the NAM likely over-forecasts the bullseye, the high PWAT environment and stalled boundary suggest higher totals than the global models suggest; a blend captures the high-end risk without the NAM's typical bias.
