Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 6:37 AM EDT, 7 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 637 AM EDT FRI JUN 15 2007 .SYNOPSIS... UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST FRIDAY...BUT BEGINS MOVING AWAY SATURDAY. DRIER WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH HOTTER AFTERNOONS BY SUNDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... CERTAINLY UNUSUALLY PROLONG UPPER AIR PATTERN THIS WORK WEEK...THAT KEPT US LOOKING BACK TOWARD THE NE RATHER THAN W. LAST MAIN SHORT WAVE AROUND THE 500 MB TROUGH OFF EAST COAST APPEARS TO BE NEAR PA/NY BORDER AT 07Z. THE 00Z NAM SEEMS SLOWER AND WETTER COMPARED TO GFS AND WRF. THE 00Z NAM TRYING TO FORM CONVECTION IN SOUTHEAST OHIO THIS AFTERNOON FROM THAT FEATURE. WE THINK THE AIR WOULD BE TOO DRY THAT FAR WEST...WITH MORE MOISTURE AVAILABLE FROM SOUTHERN WV COAL FIELDS ON SOUTH. SO NO MAJOR CHANGES TO OUR POPS...DID TRY TO MENTION A BIT HIGHER POPS (SAY 40 PCT) IN THE EXTREME S...CAN NOT GO MUCH HIGHER AT THIS EARLY HOUR OF THE MORNING...SINCE ACTION MAY SHIFT EVEN FURTHER S TOWARD THE SMOKY MOUNTAINS. THE STRATUS CLOUDS ALONG AND E OF THE CREST OF APPALACHIANS SHOULD LIFT INTO A BROKEN 2 TO 3 THSD FT CU FIELD DURING THE 13-16Z TIME FRAME. STILL HAVE FAIRLY DESCENT EAST WEST TEMPERATURE GRADIENT TODAY. AND STILL TRIED TO SAY ON HIGH SIDE IN PKB-CRW-HTS ON W. SOME FOG COULD FORM LATE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHERN WV RIVER VALLEYS AND THE VALLEYS IN THE COOLER MOUNTAIN COUNTIES. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THIS TIME PERIOD. WITH PESKY UPPER LOW FINALLY MOVING OFF TO THE EAST...MODELS AGREE THAT H500 HEIGHTS WILL RISE AND RIDGING PATTERN WILL TAKE HOLD AT LEAST INTO TUESDAY. THIS WILL MEAN MOSTLY DRY WEATHER...AND ANOTHER ROUND OF HOT TEMPERATURES. SATURDAY WILL REMAIN DRY AS MOISTURE IS TOO SCANT AND FORCING TOO MEAGER TO ALLOW ANYTHING TO DEVELOP. STILL WATCHING MINOR SHORTWAVE WHICH WILL TRY TO RIDE THE RIDGE ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES ON SUNDAY. GFS IS A BIT STRONGER WITH THE WAVE BUT HAS LESS ASSOCIATED QPF...UNDERSTANDABLE GIVEN THE NAM/S CONTINUED STRUGGLE WITH DEWPOINTS. WHILE MOISTURE WITH THE SHORTWAVE IS A BIT BETTER IN THE LOW LEVELS...WARMING MIDLEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL PUT A DAMPER ON HIGH CAPE VALUES. THINK THAT UPSLOPE/ELEVATED HEAT SOURCE WILL BE NECESSARY FOR ANY PRECIP...THUS THE NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES WERE PEGGED WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. STRENGTH OF RIDGE PREVENTS ME FROM GOING ANY HIGHER ON THE POPS AT THIS POINT. ONCE THIS DISTURBANCE PASSES...H500 RIDGE AXIS MOVES THROUGH ON MONDAY. THIS LOOKS TO BE THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE BUNCH...GFS SUGGESTS +20 H850 TEMPS IN THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE CWA. THAT TRANSLATES TO MID 90S AT THE SURFACE WITH FULL MIXING. STILL NO POPS HERE AS CAPPING AND/OR LACK OF MOISTURE SHOULD ONCE AGAIN SQUASH ANY DEVELOPMENT. BEYOND MONDAY NIGHT...STILL SOME QUESTION AS TO ULTIMATE FATE OF RIDGE. GFS WANTS TO KNOCK IT DOWN WITH A FROPA AND PUT US ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES COME TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY...WHILE ECMWF/UKMET PAINTS A SLOWER PICTURE. WILL ALLOW DAY SHIFT TO EVALUATE THIS. GENERALLY PREFERRED THE BETTER-PERFORMING MAV TEMPERATURES FOR DAYTIME HIGHS. WENT ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE MOS ENVELOPE AT NIGHT. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY TIMING ACROSS REGION VARIES GREATLY DEPENDING ON THE MODEL CHOSEN. THE ONE OUTLIER SEEMS TO BE THE GFS WHICH BRINGS THE COLD FRONT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. JUST ABOUT ALL REMAINING MODELS ARE SLOWER...SUMMERLIKE...WITH THE BOUNDARY STILL TO OUR NORTH AND EAST EVEN ON THURSDAY. WENT WITH THE EUROPEAN ET. AL. AND HELD OFF ON FRONTAL PASSAGE. THERE WILL BE INCREASING AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA THEREFORE EXPECT DIURNAL ACTIVITY TO INCREASE AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE WEEK. BUMPED TEMPERATURES UP A BIT EARLY NEXT WEEK AS DRY WEATHER CONTINUES. && .AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... 12Z FRIDAY THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY...IN THE WEAK SOUTHEAST FLOW...THE STRATUS IS SHOWING SIGNS OF BREAKING UP A BIT EARLIER THAN FIGURED BACK AT 05Z. WILL KEEP SOME SCT TO BKN 1 THSD FT E OF CREST OF APPALACHIANS...VCNTY BKW...THEN LIFTING INTO 2 TO 3 THSD FT BKN CU/STRATOCUMULUS BY 14Z. PATCHES OF CLOUDS OVERNIGHT DID KEEP FOG AT A MIMIMUM AT EKN. STILL LEFT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FORMING MAINLY S OF CRW OVER SRN WV AND SW VA AFTER 16Z...INCLUDING BKW...THEN EXITING TO S/SE AFTER 00Z. OTHERWISE SCT TO BKN CLOUDS AT 3 TO 5 THSD FT AGL. FOG FORMING AFTER 05Z SATURDAY VCNTY EKN AND AFTER 06Z IN SRN WV RVR VLYS. STILL TRICKY VSBY FORECAST AT CRW SINCE DRY VEGETATION MAY LIMIT IFR THERE. AVIATION OUTLOOK 12Z SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...LIFR/IFR FOG IS POSSIBLE AT EKN EACH NIGHT.
