...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.Short Term...(Today and tonight)
Updated at 210 AM EST Fri Dec 20 2019

Warming trend to continue today, as high pressure at the surface and 
aloft continues over the region. Only feature of note will be some 
passing high clouds. Look for high temperatures to be 5 to 10 
degrees warmer than Thursday...going to a little above normal for 
this time of year. Lows tonight also will be on the order of 5 
degrees warmer than readings this morning.

.Long Term...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 251 AM EST Fri Dec 20 2019

On Saturday, a closed upper low centered over Oklahoma is expected 
to drop due south to the Gulf Coast. Then, it is expected to travel 
east towards the Atlantic where it should arrive on Monday. 

This appears to be the only feature of interest as rain chances are 
possible in central Kentucky, mainly in the Lake Cumberland region, 
Sunday and Sunday night. Global models still have the precipitation 
tracking south of Kentucky, but the NAM and SREF are a couple that 
bring precipitation chances north into central Kentucky. Went with a 
mix of these solutions in the forecast. 

Outside of this, the Ohio Valley remains near the axis of the upper 
ridge through early Friday. Late Friday, ahead of the next trough, 
precipitation chances return.
