AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
653 AM EDT FRI AUG 11 2006

.AVIATION...

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING AND MOVING
ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST KENTUCKY...NORTHWEST VIRGINIA AND THE
SOUTHERN COUNTIES OF WEST VIRGINIA.  VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS WERE THE
RULE ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOWLAND COUNTIES...WHILE IFR CONDITIONS WERE
POSSIBLE NEAR THE STORMS AS WELL AS THE MOUNTAIN COUNTIES.

THE STORMS SHOULD INCREASE IN INTENSITY AND AREAL COVERAGE ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES TODAY AS A MID-LEVEL STORM SYSTEM MOVES
BY.

THE STORMS SHOULD COME TO AN END ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION TONIGHT
AS THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES TO THE EAST AND DRIER AIR AT THE SURFACE
BUILDS IN.

EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP IN MANY LOCATIONS AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT AS FOG BEGINS TO DEVELOP.  THE FOG WILL BECOME MORE DENSE
WITH IFR/LIFR VSBYS/CIGS IN THE RIVER VALLEYS AS WELL AS OTHER
FAVORED MOUNTAIN VALLEYS.

 /ISSUED 400 AM EDT FRI AUG 11 2006/

SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES
PRODUCED AS MUCH AS 3-4 INCHES OF RAIN OVERNIGHT...BASED ON RAIN
GAUGES AND KFCX WSR-88D RADAR.  DID NOT RECEIVE ANY REPORTS OF MAJOR
FLOODING.  HOWEVER...THE WATER DID FLOOD QUITE A FEW OF THE ROADS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF LOGAN AND WYOMING COUNTIES.

THESE STORMS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN GENERATED BY A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROF WHICH COULD NOT REALLY BE SEEN IN THE SATELLITE IMAGERY...UNTIL
THE STORMS HAD FORMED.

THIS TROF HAS PUSHED SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA...WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN
A BREAK IN THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  HOWEVER...ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE TROF IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO WESTERN OHIO AT THIS TIME.
THIS FEATURE SHOULD RESULT IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
ONCE AGAIN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES.

HAVE BUMPED UP POPS TO CATEGORICAL ACROSS OUR NORTHWEST VA COUNTIES
FOR TODAY

DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...RESULTING
IN THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ENDING WITH CLEARING SKIES FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH.

TEMP GUIDANCE FOR TODAY APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK AND HAVE GENERALLY
FOLLOWED.  HOWEVER...LATEST GUIDANCE WAS COOLER WITH LOWS TONIGHT
AND HAVE TWEAKED THE OVERNIGHT LOWS DOWN TO REFLECT THIS TREND.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

MODELS EXIT COOL FRONT TO THE SOUTH EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...WITH
ANY LEFT OVER SHOWERS IN THE FAR SOUTH ENDING BY NOON.
OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER CENTRAL CANADA EARLY
SATURDAY RIDGES SOUTHWARD INTO OUR REGION FOR THE WEEKEND...BRINGING
DRY AND NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON A COLD FRONT THAT CROSSES OUR REGION
TUESDAY. LOOKS TO BE A STRONG ENOUGH UPPER TROUGH MOVING EASTWARD
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY TO SUPPORT AT LEAST SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY NIGHT...AND ESPECIALLY TUESDAY...
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THIS FRONT GETS A GOOD PUSH SOUTH OF OUR AREA BY
WEDNESDAY WITH RATHER STRONG CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE AGAIN RIDGING
SOUTHWARD INTO OUR REGION. THIS WILL BRING BACK DRIER WEATHER AND
NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES BY MID WEEK.

PREV DISCUSSION...
 /ISSUED 225 AM EDT FRI AUG 11 2006/

AVIATION...

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH PORTIONS OF
SOUTHERN WV...NORTHEAST KY AND SOUTHWEST VA SHOULD CONTINUE TO PUSH
SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING.  CONDITIONS NEAR THESE STORMS WILL GENERALLY
BE IN THE IFR/LIFR CATEGORIES...WITH VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
NORTH.

ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY ACROSS THE
SOUTH WITH IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS IN AND NEAR THE STORMS.  ACROSS THE
NORTH...VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL.

DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN LATE THIS AFTERNOON WHICH WILL
RESULT IN DECREASING PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND IMPROVING CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA AFTER DARK TONIGHT.
