Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 9:24 PM EDT, 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 924 PM EDT FRI APR 14 2006 .SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/... BUSY EVENING. EARLIER STORMS WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH DECENT INSTABILITY AND STRONG SHEAR TO PRODUCE PLENTY OF LARGE HAIL REPORTS AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF STRONG WIND EVENTS. ATTENTION NOW TURNS UPSTREAM TO ACTIVITY CONTINUING TO ROLL TOWARDS US IN THE NW FLOW. SUNSET HAS ALLOWED SOME MID LEVEL COOLING TO REALIZE MORE INSTABILITY...AND ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO ROLL ALONG BOUNDARY FROM PREVIOUS COMPLEXES. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT WILL BE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA...NORTHEAST KENTUCKY...AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. THESE AREAS HAVE NOT RECEIVED AS MUCH RAINFALL AS AREAS TO THE NORTH. THUS...WITH CAUTION...AM KEEPING FLOOD WATCH OUT OF THE PICTURE FOR NOW. HOWEVER...IF CURRENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS ACROSS NORTHERN INDIANA/OHIO CONTINUE...A SHORT-FUSE FLOOD WATCH MAY BECOME NECESSARY. HOWEVER...SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS AS STORMS ROLL INTO MOSTLY UNSPOILED AIRMASS. RECONIFGURED POPS TO FOCUS ON CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AREAS. ALSO UPPED SKY COVER IN THESE AREAS. TEMPERATURES ACCEPTABLE FOR NOW AND SIMPLY RECALCULATED HOURLIES. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 739 PM EDT FRI APR 14 2006/ AVIATION... OBVIOUSLY A BUSY EVENING...WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN PLACE AND STRONG STORMS FIRING ACROSS NORTHERN AND EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA. HAVE INCLUDED TEMPO TSRA AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH AT LEAST 05Z OR SO...AS MORE COMPLEXES ARE FORMING OFF TO THE WEST. INCLUDED MVFR/IFR WITH THE STORMS. MAY NEED TO EXTEND TSRA LATER INTO THE NIGHT WITH FUTURE UPDATES. QUIET PERIOD FROM SUNRISE THROUGH 17Z OR SO WITH BRIEF WINDOW OF VFR CONDITIONS...FOLLOWED BY THE POSSIBILITY OF MORE STORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THESE MAY BE MORE SCATTERED IN NATURE...JUST INCLUDED CB FOR NOW. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 PM EDT FRI APR 14 2006/ SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING/... THIS TIME FRAME IS DOMINATED BY A WEAK BOUNDARY MEANDERING SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE CWA...UNTIL LOW PRESSURE GETS MORE ORGANIZED IN THE MIDWEST...AND TRAVELS EAST SOUTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY INTO THE CWA BY 12Z MONDAY MORNING. WITH H85 TEMPS IN THE 12-14C RANGE...EXPECT WARM DAYS AND NIGHTS TO CONTINUE. SOME SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL TRY TO INVADE THE NORTH AT TIMES. BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTORMS PERHAPS CRW AND SOUTH SATURDAY...BUT HAVE AT LEAST CHC POPS EVERYWHERE...AS ANY REMNANT BOUNDARIES FROM DEVELOPMENT FURTHER WEST MAY BE ENOUGH TO GET SOMETHING GOING...WITH STILL SOME INSTABILITY. LAPSE RATES THOUGH NOT AS STEEP AS FRIDAY. MODELS THEN HINT AT BOUNDARY MOVING BACK NORTH SLIGHTLY SUNDAY...AGAIN WITH SHOWER AND TSTORM CHANCES. MORE HIGHS TRICKY SUNDAY...WITH ENOUGH OF A NORTHERLY COMPONENT TO KEEP THE NORTH PERHAPS SLIGHTLY COOLER THEN CENTRAL AND SOUTH. MODELS AND SREF BEGIN TO DIFFER LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY MORNING. GFS KEEPS H5 LOW STRONGER AND CLOSED OFF...AS THE SYSTEM ENTERS THE CWA...WHERE NAM AND SREF TENDS TO OPEN THE WAVE MORE. NONETHELESS...THE MORE ORGANIZED SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF PRODUCING MORE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WITH COOLER AIR IN THE MID LEVELS AND BETTER LAPSE RATES LATE SUNDAY EVENING INTO MONDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY AFTER HIGHS AGAIN IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... SYSTEM PULLS OFF TO THE EAST ON MONDAY BRINGING AN END TO THE PRECIPITATION. SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE NAM AND GFS FOR MONDAY. GFS HAS BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT FROM RUN TO RUN...SO WILL LEAN TOWARD THE GFS. TUESDAY THEN LOOKS DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTROLS THE WEATHER. NEXT SYSTEM ON TAP FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS FRONT ARRIVES FROM THE WEST. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 150 PM EDT FRI APR 14 2006/ SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AREA IS IN BETWEEN CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES AT THIS TIME...WITH LAST STORMS PUSHING THROUGH NORTHERN MOUNTAINS AT THIS TIME AND COMPLEX UPSTREAM DEVELOPING INTO WESTERN INDIANA. SPC HAS UPGRADED SOUTHERN OHIO INTO A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS AND WITH GOOD HEATING AND STRONG DESTABILIZATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE THIS AFTERNOON OVER THAT AREA...EXPECT THE COMPLEX TO STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTHERN OHIO. THE COMPLEX SHOULD MOVE INTO OUR CWA AROUND 00Z OR SO AND ROLL EAST ACROSS THE AREA. WILL CARRY LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS OVERNIGHT WITH THIS COMPLEX. COULD CERTAINLY SEE SOME SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING AS THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE AREA WITH GREAT INSTABILITY FOR THE COMPLEX TO FEED ON. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN FAIRLY MILD WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S...AND STAYED RELATIVELY CLOSE TO MOS GUIDANCE. && .RLX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WV...NONE. OH...NONE.
