AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
100 PM EDT FRI JUL 27 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES MOVES
EAST BY SATURDAY. THIS WILL BRING A SURFACE COLD FRONT INTO
VICINITY. HOWEVER...AN NEW UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT...THEN REMAIN ALONG THE EAST COAST INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS...HAVE UPDATED POP GRIDS TO INCLUDE
LIKELY POPS IN MANY LOCATIONS.  FEEL BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION FROM
SW PA INTO EASTERN KY WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EAST INTO OUR FORECAST
AREA TODAY.  HAVE ALSO CHANGED THE GRIDS TO REFLECT AREAL
COVERAGE...INSTEAD OF PROBABILITY.

STILL FEEL MAX TEMPS ARE ATTAINABLE...SO NO CHANGES MADE TO THEM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT IN THE AREA RIGHT AT THE START OF
THE PERIOD MOVE ON THROUGH DURING THE DAY SATURDAY.  GFS IS A BIT
SLOWER WITH ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION THAN IS THE NAM.  THE TWO
MODELS ARE SIMILAR ON SURFACE FEATURES AND GFS TIES THE
PRECIPITATION MORE CLOSELY WITH SURFACE FEATURE.  THE PRECIPITATION
WILL LIKELY BE IN THE FORM OF A NOCTURNAL COMPLEX AS SUGGESTED BY
SHOWALTERS NEAR ZERO 12Z SAT ALONG WITH DECENT H85 THETA E FEED.

THIS COMPLEX CONTINUES INTO SATURDAY AND PERHAPS UNDERGOES A
METAMORPHOSIS FOR THE AFTERNOON.  NAM IS...AS USUAL...INDICATING
MORE INSTABILITY THAN THE GFS...WITH UP TO TWO KGKJ-1 OF CAPE ALONG
WITH TWO INCHES PW...THE GFS PEAKS AT LESS THAN A KGKJ-1 OF CAPE.
REALITY WILL LIKELY FALL SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN.

THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR OVER A WEEK...LIKE A
SUMMER GUEST THAT HAS WORN OUT THEIR WELCOME...FINALLY EXITS
SATURDAY NIGHT.  THIS...ALONG WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING...WILL ALLOW
THE WEATHER TO SETTLE DOWN.

BOTH MODELS ARE CLOSE ON ANOTHER SHORT WAVE APPROACHING SUNDAY.
THIS COMES OUT OF A SPEED MAX NOW RIDING OVER TOP OF THE RIDGE OVER
SOUTHWESTERN CANADA...AND BECOMES BARELY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM ITS
PREDECESSOR.  BUT IT DOES SHARPEN UP WITH A POSITIVE TILT OVER THE
AREA AS THE UPSTREAM RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE GREAT LAKES.  THE TIMING
OF THIS SHORT WAVE COINCIDES WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY FOR A GOOD
CHANCE FOR LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY.

UPPER TROUGH IS SLOW TO EXIT NEXT WEEK BUT SHOULD JUST ABOUT MAKE
THE EAST COAST MONDAY...SO POPS ARE LIMITED TO THE MOUNTAINS.

ONGOING FORECAST FOR HIGHS SATURDAY LOOKED GOOD...CLOSE TO THE MET
WHICH IS THE MIDDLE GROUND BUT CLOSER TO THE LOWER MAV THAN THE
HIGH FWC.  OTHERWISE A BLEND OF THE NUMBERS WERE USED...WHICH
ENTAILED ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

WITH 500 MB TROF ALONG MID ATLANTIC COAST...HOPING THE NORTHERLY
FETCH WILL CONTINUE TO FEED DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR SOUTH. STILL
QUESTIONABLE HOW LOW THE DEW POINTS WILL BE ABLE TO FALL DURING
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SO...STILL HOPING FOR A DRIER PATTERN THAN
NEAR AND SHORT TERM.

A WEAK LOW LEVEL WIND FLOW FOR WEDNESDAY INTO FRIDAY. SO A DOG
DAY WEATHER PATTERN MAY BE SETTING UP FOR WED-FRIDAY. YET...SOME
LIGHT EAST LOW LEVEL FLOW POSSIBLE BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. WILL
MENTION SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER
MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES ON WEDNESDAY AND SPREAD THESE POPS A BIT WEST
ON THURSDAY. A SURFACE FRONT PICTURED OVER SRN GREAT LAKES DAY 6
INTO DAY 7...BUT SHOULD REMAIN TO OUR N. WEAK 700-500MB FLOW FM
NW MAY CAUSE SOME CONVECTION TO SINK SLOWLY S...SO 20/30 POPS DAY
7.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES INCHED UP SLIGHTLY FROM HPC GUIDANCE ACROSS
WESTERN LOWLANDS WEDNESDAY INTO FRIDAY...CLOSER TO 90 DEGREES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL LOW IS STILL IMPACTING THE REGION. SHORT WAVE TROF
MOVING ACROSS OHIO AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF WEST VIRGINIA IS
KICKING OFF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO STAY NORTH OF TAF SITES THIS MORNING WILL KEEP MOVING EASTWARD
AND OUT OF THE REGION THIS MORNING. MVFR FOG WILL DISSIPATE
QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE. ONE LAST SHORTWAVE ALONG WITH A COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS
EVENING. THIS WILL AGAIN BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
REGION. THIS SHORTWAVE COMBINED WITH HEATING TODAY WILL CAUSE THE
ATMOSPHERE TO AGAIN BECOME UNSTABLE...AND SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY
BECOME SEVERE. THE MAIN FOCUS IS EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN SECTIONS...FROM HTS/CRW/BKW LINE AND POINTS SOUTH INTO
THIS EVENING...HOWEVER ALL SITES HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR STORMS.
EXPECT IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS IN EXITING STORMS AND FOG FOR
TONIGHT.

SATURDAY 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.
