AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
310 AM EDT FRI OCT 28 2005

.SHORT TERM (TODAY)...

GENERAL NW FLOW PATTERN TO CONTINUE TODAY. CLOUDS ARE GENERALLY
HIT AND MISS CURRENTLY IN THE COLD ADVECTION. HOWEVER...WITH LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE STILL IN PLACE...STILL EXPECT PLENTY OF DAYTIME CU
DEVELOPMENT WITH DAYTIME HEATING. AS UPPER TROUGH DIGS ACROSS PA
THIS AFTERNOON...VORT MAX TRAVELS ACROSS OR JUST NORTH OF OUR
MOUNTAIN COUNTIES. THERE MAY BE JUST ENOUGH
MOISTURE/UPSLOPE/FORCING TO SUPPORT SPRINKLES OR FLURRIES...AND
CONTINUED THIS THOUGHT FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.

COLD ADVECTION IS FAIRLY WEAK DESPITE NW FLOW. H850 TEMPERATURES
WILL NOT BE TOO DIFFERENT TODAY...AND SO FORESEE AFTERNOON HIGHS
MORE OR LESS LIKE THOSE FROM YESTERDAY. MAV IS CLOSEST TO THIS
THINKING...AND DID WELL YESTERDAY...SO DID NOT STRAY FAR FROM
THOSE NUMBERS.

&&

.LONG TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)...

WITH STORM OFF MID ATLANTIC COAST...850MB WARMING WILL BE SLOW.
INCREASED CLOUDS TONIGHT FROM OUR PREVIOUS THINKING...BUT THERE
COULD BE HOLES AND/OR THIN SPOTS...SO MINIMUM TEMPERATURE HARD TO
FIGURE.  WITH MORE CONFIDENCE IN CLEARING IN EXTREME W
OVERNIGHT...SO ISSUE ANOTHER FROST ADVISORY FOR COUNTIES IN TRI
STATE ARND HTS FOR DAWN SATURDAY. HOWEVER...DID NOT ISSUE FROST
ADVISORY FOR DAWN SATURDAY YET...FOR CRW S TO WILLIAMSON VCNTY
YET...SINCE CLOUDS AND DEW POINTS MAY STILL BE AN ISSUE THERE.  WILL
MONITOR DURING THE AFTERNOON.  OTHER COUNTIES NOT IN FROST/FREEZE
PROGRAM ANY LONGER THIS AUTUMN.

MAIN 850 MB WARMING DOES NOT COME UNTIL AFTER 15Z SATURDAY.  STRONG
INVERSION SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH MOUNTAIN VALLEYS STILL COLD.

A SPELL OF INDIAN SUMMER WX APPEARS HERE ON SUNDAY INTO HALLOWEEN
WITH 60S WIDESPREAD. FIRST MENTION OF PCPN AGAIN IS IN OHIO LATE
MONDAY AFTERNOON SPREADING NE INTO NRN WV MONDAY NIGHT.

TUESDAY FEATURE APPEARS FAIRLY WEAK AS MODELS TRY TO DIG MORE ENERGY
FURTHER S INTO LOWER MS VLY...LEAVING US WITH A WEAK MIDWEST UPPER
TROF SWINGING THRU.  DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MUCH OF ANY SURFACE
FEATURE/FRONT MOVING THRU TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT.  SO TEMPERATURES
SHOULD NOT COOL MUCH FOR WED.  ZONAL PATTERN APPEARS SETTING UP
FOR END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 132 AM EDT FRI OCT 28 2005)

AVIATION...

TRICKY NIGHT WITH COLD ADVECTION CLOUDS FLOATING IN AND OUT...AND
DEWPOINTS STILL HIGH ENOUGH TO PRODUCE FOG IN AREAS THAT ARE ABLE
TO CLEAR FOR A PERIOD. LOOKING AT SATELLITEL LOOPS...THINK THAT
THERE WILL BE JUST ENOUGH CLEARING TO ALLOW SOME MVFR/IFR FOG TO
FORM IN THE MORE FAVORABLE VALLEY LOCATIONS...WHICH OF COURSE
INCLUDES CRW AND EKN...AND PKB AND HTS TO A LESSER EXTENT.
WHATEVER FOG THERE IS WILL LIFT/BURN OFF BY 14Z. EXPECTING PLENTY
OF CU/SC DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT CEILINGS WILL REMAIN VFR. CLOUDS
WILL CLEAR BY AROUND 00Z AT THE WESTERN TERMINALS BUT HANG ON
LONGER AT BKW/EKN THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY LIGHT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 951 PM EDT THU OCT 27 2005)

SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)...

ANOTHER CHALLENGE AGAIN OVERNIGHT...THE AMOUNT OF CLOUDS OVER THE
AREA. LIKE LAST EVENING...CLOUDS HAVE ERODED OUTSIDE OF NORTHEASTERN
WEST VIRGINIA TO PRODUCE LARGE BREAKS. WITHIN THESE BREAKS
TEMPERATURES HAVE DROPPED QUITE RAPIDLY AND ARE NOT TOO FAR FROM THE
DEWPOINTS. HOWEVER...UNLIKE LAST NIGHT...COLD ADVECTION INCREASES
OVERNIGHT AS UPPER TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH THE REGION.  THIS WILL
GENERALLY BRING MORE CLOUDS LATER TONIGHT WHEREAS LAST NIGHT IT
CLEARED OUT LATE. SO WE HAVE THE PROBLEM OF...WILL THE CLOUDS HOLD
OFF LONG ENOUGH FOR FOG TO FORM LATER. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT FOG
WILL BE ABLE TO FORM AGAIN MAINLY IN VALLEYS AND LOW LYING
AREAS...BUT NOT AS DENSE AS LAST NIGHT WITH EXPECTED RETURN OF
CLOUDS LATE. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW SOME FROST TO FORM OVER SOUTHWEST
SECTIONS WHERE CLOUDS WILL TAKE LONGEST TO GET IN...SO WILL CONTINUE
FROST ADVISORY FOR THAT AREA. ALSO...WITH THE COLD ADVECTION...HAVE
LEFT SPRINKLES AND FLURRIES IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OVERNIGHT AND
CONTINUED INTO FRIDAY.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 231 PM EDT THU OCT 27 2005)

LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE MOST OF THIS TIME PERIOD...BRINGING IN A
MIX OF THE USUAL INGREDIENTS...OF FEW CLOUDS AND LIGHT WIND.  THIS
WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED COOL MORNINGS.  THE NORMAL MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ACROSS THE LOWLANDS IS RIGHT
AROUND 40 DEGREES.  SO WE SHOULD BE RUNNING 5-8 DEGREES BELOW THOSE
VALUES.  THIS SHOULD PUT AN END TO THE GROWING SEASON ACROSS
LOCATIONS WHERE IT MAY BE STILL OCCURRING...ACROSS THE EXTREME SE
PORTIONS OF THE CWA.  DEPENDING OF THE TEMPERATURES THAT COME IN
TOMORROW MORNING...WE MAY NEED TO ISSUE A FREEZE WARNING FOR EXTREME
SE OHIO...S WV...AND NE KY FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

THE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT...SETTING UP SHOP ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS THROUGH
MONDAY.  A COLD FRONT WILL WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES OUR REGION LATE
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.  CLOUDS WILL BE THE MAIN
THREAT...AND TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE THE FREEZING
MARK...LEAVING ANY PRECIPITATION THAT DOES FALL...IN A LIQUID FORM.
