AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
152 AM EST THU MAR 9 2006

.AVIATION...

MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS DESPITE WARM FRONT SNEAKING IN FROM THE WEST
BRINGING MID LVL CLOUDS ...BKN-OVC 5-10KFT. THE BOUNDARY EXTENDS
FROM WEST VIRGINIA WEST TO A LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER IOWA. BANDS OF
RAIN SHOWERS WILL AFFECT CRW...HTS...AND PKB THRU AROUND 08Z.  LIGHT
AND VARIABLE FLOW...MAINLY FROM THE SOUTH WILL PREVAIL. SPORADIC
WIND GUSTS UP TO 16 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR SHOWERS.

WARM FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. ADDITIONAL
BANDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
 /ISSUED 845 PM EST WED MAR 8 2006/

SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...

FIRST BAND OF MOISTURE/RAIN HAS SACRIFICED ITSELF FOR MOISTENING
THE AIR FOR THOSE THAT FOLLOW.  WILL INCREASE POP SLIGHTLY FOR THE
LATE NIGHT HOURS FOR NRN TIER OF COUNTIES WITH ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
MOVING ENE UP THE OHIO VALLEY AT 01Z. WILL ADJUST A FEW COLD SPOTS IN
GRIDS THAT WERE DEPICTED IN BUCHANAN.

AVIATION...

MAINLY VFR THRU PERIOD. SOME BRIEF MVFR POSSIBLE IN LIGHT RAIN OR
LIGHT SHOWERS 04-08Z PKB-CKB CORRIDOR. INCREASING SURFACE WINDS
AFTER 14Z.

PREV DISCUSSION...
 /ISSUED 315 PM EST WED MAR 8 2006/

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...

MODELS STILL SHOWING A TREND OF DELAYING RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY MORNING. WITH A NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH TO OUR WEST...AND
ENERGY STILL DIGGING INTO IT...PROBABLY WILL SLOW DOWN A TAD MORE
OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS. NAM KEEPS NEARLY THE ENTIRE CWA DRY THROUGH
6Z FRIDAY. THUS HAVE DELAYED HIGHER POPS 3-6 HRS FROM PREVIOUS
GRIDS. MOISTURE WILL HAVE BIG DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS TO OVERCOME...AND
STILL HESITANT TO UP POPS ANY FURTHER THAN PREVIOUS FORECASTS EAST
OF THE OHIO RIVER. STILL HAVE A BAD FEELING THAT MOST OF THE PRECIP
DIES TRYING TO CROSS THE OHIO RIVER...AND EASTERN HALF IS LEFT WITH
NO MEASURABLE PRECIP. LEFT POPS AS IS...BUT TRIED TO CUT DOWN POPS
QUICKLY INTO FRIDAY...AS MAYBE ONLY A NARROW BAND OF PRECIP MAKES IT
AROUND 12Z AT CRW/BKW. THIS IS WHERE MODELS START TO DIVERGE...WITH
GFS PUSHING THE FRONT THROUGH WITH H85 TEMPS DIFFERING BY ABOUT 5C
BY 18Z FRIDAY. DECIDED TO GO WITH THE WARMER NAM...CONSIDERING THE
STRENGTH OF THE SOUTHEAST RIDGE AND H5 HEIGHTS. THUS HAVE LEANED
TOWARDS WARMER MET NUMBERS ON FRIDAY...THOUGH THEY DO SEEM A FEW
DEGREES TO WARM. TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER GIVES 60KTS PER BUFKIT BELOW
5 KFT AT HTS ON FRIDAY. ALSO QUICK CLEARING IN THE AFTERNOON AND NOT
MUCH OF AN INVERSION MAY MEAN A BETTER CHANCE FOR 45 MPH GUSTS. HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD INTO SATURDAY MORNING...WITH LIGHT WINDS AND
TEMPS IN THE LOWER 40S AND UPPER 30S.

HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL OF THE AREA ON SATURDAY SHOULD YIELD SOME
SUNSHINE DESPITE SOME HIGH CLOUDS.  MODELS ARE IN A BIT OF
DISAGREEMENT ON THE WEATHER FOR SATURDAY AS NAM KEEPS AREA DRY AND
FOCUSES PRECIPITATION WELL TO THE WEST OVER INDIANA...WHILE GFS
BRINGS A LITTLE ENERGY OVER THE RIDGE RIGHT OVER WEST VIRGINIA
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

THINK THE GFS IS SHOWING A SPURIOUS VORT MAX WITH THIS FEATURE AND
LIKE THE NAM SOLUTION BETTER.  SO HAVE LEANED MORE OPTIMISTIC ON SKY
AND LOWER POPS THAN GFS WOULD SUGGEST.  DO KEEP LOW CHANCE POPS
ACROSS AREA THOUGH.  EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REACH INTO THE 70S
DESPITE SOME CLOUDS AS WARM 850H TEMPS AND MODEL SOUNDINGS SUPPORT
THESE NUMBERS...MID TO UPPER 60S IN SOUTHEAST OHIO.
