AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
820 PM EDT THU JUL 26 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES MOVES
EAST BY SATURDAY.  HOWEVER...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN ALONG THE
EAST COAST INTO NEXT WEEK.  A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LATEST RADAR DATA AND SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS SOME SHOWERS OVER
SOUTHEAST OHIO.  THIS CONVECTION IS THE RESULT OF DAYTIME HEATING
AND A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROF MOVING SOUTHEAST INTO WESTERN OHIO.

THIS FEATURE SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME
HOURS TONIGHT.  WHILE THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BEGIN TO STABILIZE AFTER
SUNSET...UPWARD VERTICAL MOTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROF WILL
CONTINUE A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE NIGHT-TIME HOURS.

IN ADDITION...LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS WILL ONCE AGAIN
RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG...ESPECIALLY IN THE RIVER VALLEYS
AND WHERE RAIN OCCURS.

MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROF WILL APPROACH THE AREA LATE
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.  AS A RESULT...HAVE CONTINUED CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS INTO EARLY FRIDAY NIGHT.  BELIEVE LIKELY POPS ARE
APPROPRIATE AS MID-LEVEL TROF GETS CLOSER.

BELIEVE MAV TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE IS TOO WARM FOR HIGHS ON FRIDAY.
OTHERWISE...PREVIOUS TEMPERATURE GRIDS LOOKED GOOD AND HAVE
GENERALLY ONLY MADE SOME MINOR TWEAKS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
WE WILL STILL BE IN A MOIST...UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT ON SATURDAY AHEAD
OF ADVANCING LOW PRESSURE. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO LIKELY CATEGORY AS
LOW PRESSURE TRAVELS ACROSS REGION. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW SEVERE
STORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. FRONT GRUDGINGLY MOVES
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...THE GFS LOOKS BETTER THAN THE
NAM HERE. 500MB TROUGH DEEPENS AS IT REACHES THE ATLANTIC
SEABOARD...CONSEQUENTLY THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE SLOW TO
CLEAR OUR AREA...AS A RESULT LEFT AT LEAST CHANCE POPS IN EASTERN
MOUNTAINS INTO MONDAY.

DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM MOS VALUES FOR TEMPERATURES.  TENDED TO
LEAN A LITTLE COOLER DURING THE DAY SATURDAY WITH WET GROUND/CLOUD
COVER.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WITH THE LOW SETTLING OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST...MODELS TRY TO SHOW
DRYING THROUGH THE COLUMN IN THE NORTHWESTERN ZONES. COULD NOT
ELIMINATE POPS IN THE NORTHEASTERN MOUNTAINS DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF
THE TROUGH AXIS EVEN INTO MONDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE...MOST OF THE AREA
LOOKS TO BE DRY IN THE LONG TERM...WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES
CONTINUING THROUGH THE PERIODS AS A RESULT OF PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL LOW IS STILL IMPACTING THE REGION.  ONE LAST SHORTWAVE
IS DROPPING INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH...WHICH IS CAUSING A LINE OF
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM.  THUS HAVE ADDED TSTORMS TO
ALL BUT PKB.  THE LINE IS NEAR CRW AS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ENE.  IT
COULD IMPACT CKB/EKN/BKW AFTER 2Z.  ONCE THIS CONVECTION EXITS THE
REGION AFTER 4Z...WEATHER SHOULD SETTLE DOWN.  FOG WILL THEN BECOME
A POTENTIAL ISSUE AS SOME CLEARING COMBINED WITH THE WET GROUND WILL
PRODUCE MVFR TO IFR FOG.  HAVE ADDED THE FOG TO ALL SITES.  THE
CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN AGAIN FROM THE WEST...WHICH SHOULD HELP
BRING THE FOG UP A LITTLE EARLIER IN THE MORNING.  SOME SHOWERS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THIS NEXT SHORTWAVE...BUT FOR NOW...THE CHANCES ARE
SMALL SO HAVE NOT INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST.

DURING THE DAY TOMORROW...EXPECT MORE MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS
AROUND THE AREA.  A STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL ENTER THE REGION DURING
THE AFTERNOON SO MORE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
THUNDERSTORMS MAY STILL RESULT IN TEMPORARY MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS EACH
AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  IN ADDITION...FOG MAY
RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS EACH NIGHT THROUGH
THE PERIOD.
