Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 2:41 PM EDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 241 PM EDT TUE JUN 14 2005 .SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)... SEVERE PARAMETERS CONTINUE TO LOOK FAVORABLE INTO THIS EVENING AND NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE AS SEVERE WEATHER HAS ALREADY STARTED PANNING OUT JUST UPSTREAM OF FORECAST AREA. RUC...NAM AND GFS LESS BULLISH WITH EVENT NOW WITH LESS MOISTURE AND MUCH LOWER POPS. THIS APPEARS AT ODDS WITH ACTIVITY UPSTREAM BUT IT APPEARS MODELS ARE PICKING UP ON SLIGHTLY STRONGER LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW...A DIFFERENCE WHICH MAY BE JUST ENOUGH TO SHEAR THINGS OUT AS WE MOVE INTO THIS EVENING. UPPER DIV IS NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE ON NAM ANYMORE EXCEPT NORTH OF FORECAST AREA AND OTHER MODELS AGREE...GFS WAS NEVER THAT BULLISH HERE. OPTED TO STAY WITH LIKELY POPS...NEITHER INCREASING NOR DECREASING FOR THE TIME BEING AND THIS IS A COMPROMISE OF SORTS. LOWER MAV NUMBERS ON LOWS TONIGHT MOST LOCATIONS REFLECT FASTER TIMING OF PARENT MODEL ON PROGRESS OF FRONT AND WENT NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 210 PM EDT TUE JUN 14 2005) LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)... UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE WRAPPING AROUND THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS COMBINED WITH AFTERNOON HEATING COULD HELP SPARK AN AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...WITH SOME COOLER AIR MOVING IN IN THE MID LEVELS. TEMPERATURE WISE...NOT A LOT OF COOLING AT THE SFC UNTIL THURSDAY...WHEN LOW TO MID 70S ARE FIGURED. WITH UPPER LEVEL LOW RESIDING TO OUR NORTH THROUGH FRIDAY...WILL BE DIFFICULT TO GET RID OF LOW POPS ALL TOGETHER. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION (18Z TO 18Z)... (ISSUED 125 PM EDT TUE JUN 14 2005) AVIATION... OVERNIGHT FOG WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE AMOUNT OF AFTERNOON PRECIPITATION. OTHERWISE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN MIXED THROUGH MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...LIMITING LIFR FOG DEVELOPMENT. COUPLE OF LINES OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY PUSHING IN FROM WESTERN AND CENTRAL OHIO. OTHER THAN A FEW POP UP STORMS...HAVE TIMED THE FIRST LINE TO APPROACH HTS AROUND 2030Z...AND PKB MORE TOWARDS 21Z. AS THESE STORMS NEAR...MAY NEED TO INCREASE POTENTIAL WIND GUSTS ABOVE THE 40KTS CURRENTLY FORECAST FOR OUR WESTERN SITES. OTHERWISE...FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WILL KEEP BKN MID DECK ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WITH MORE BREAKS FIGURED SOUTH OF PKB AND CKB. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 1158 AM EDT TUE JUN 14 2005) SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)... WATCH BOX 480 SVR ISSUED JUST AS I WAS READY TO ISSUE SHORT TERM UPDATE SO TIMING WORKED WELL. ILN SOUNDING SHOWS VIRTUALLY NO CAP AND CU ALREADY GOING UP QUICKLY ACROSS THE AREA. CAPES UP TO 2500 J/KG ON LOW 70S DEW POINTS...AND 35-45 KTS THROUGH THE LOW AND MID LEVELS...COUPLED WITH GOOD UPPER DIV AHEAD OF APPROACHING SHORT WAVE...MAKE SEVERE ALL BUT A SLAM DUNK LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. WITH WET BULB HIGH AND SHEAR UNIDIRECTIONAL...EXPECT DAMAGING WIND TO BE THE MAIN THREAT. SOUTHERN EDGE OF THREAT NEAR HTS TO CRW CORRIDOR LOOKS GOOD AS MEAN WIND AND UPPER DIVERGENCE DROP OFF SIGNIFICANTLY SOUTH OF THERE GIVEN TRACK OF SHORT WAVE. OTHERWISE LITTLE CHANGE NEEDED TO ONGOING FORECAST. CHANGED WEATHER TERMS TO COVERAGE AND LIMITED THUNDERSTORM THREAT AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AS STABILITY IS LOST BEFORE DAWN.
