AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
342 PM EDT SUN JUN 24 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
VERY WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ACROSS OUR WARM AND MOIST
ATMOSPHERE TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE
AREA LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. DRY WEATHER PATTERN FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
UNSETTLED PATTERN CONTINUES WITH A 500HPA LOW STILL MEANDERING
EASTWARD IN ILLINOIS...AND DECENT AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE THROUGHOUT THE
COLUMN. CLOUD COVER CONTINUES TO PLAGUE THE REGION FROM THE
SYSTEM...WITH MOST LOCATIONS IN THE CWA ONLY SEEING A FEW PEAKS OF
SUN AT A TIME. THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING OFF AND ON RAIN
SHOWERS FOR MOST OF THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. CLEARING IS
TAKING PLACE TO THE SOUTH...AND CONVECTION IS GETTING INTO GEAR AS
WE SPEAK. STILL FEEL SOME THUNDER IS POSSIBLE IN OUR AREAS...BUT
WILL WE TOUGHER WITHOUT THIS ASSISTANCE.

FORECAST FOR TONIGHT WILL HINGE ON ACTIVITY TO THE SOUTHWEST. COULD
SEE SOME RESIDUAL RAINFALL FROM THE CONVECTION DURING THE DAY AND
EVENING. ANY LINGERING RAIN COULD BE ENHANCED BY A VORT MAX PUSHING
THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST OHIO COUNTIES...AND HAVE UPPED POPS TO BE IN
TOLERANCE WITH WESTERN NEIGHBORS.

MORE OF THE SAME FOR MONDAY...CLOUD COVER WILL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT
OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE REGION. ELEVATED HEAT SOURCES TO THE EAST
WILL PLAY A ROLE IN THUNDERSTORM FORMATION...WHILE A BIT MORE
FORCING WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE LOW LANDS. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES HAVE
COME DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE NEAR 90 DEGREE VALUES BACK TO THE
MID 80S...AND ADJUSTED THEM ACCORDINGLY...WHILE REMAINING ON THE
HIGH SIDE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
GUIDANCE SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC STATES EXTENDING
EAST INTO THE OH VALLEY AND SOUTHEAST U.S. TUESDAY. NAM AND GFS SHOW
H5 RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE APPALACHIANS LATE TUE AND WED.

NAM SHOWS DEWPOINT ISSUES THRU THE PERIOD...IN THE MID 70S ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTH OF CWA.  IN THE ABSENCE OF SYNOPTIC FORCING...AND
MODELS SHOWING SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE OF
PRECIP WITH ELEVATED HEAT SOURCE IN THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS TUE AND
WED. WENT DRY ELSEWHERE.

PLENTY OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED UNDER A RELAXED FLOW SUGGESTS WARM
TEMPERATURES TUE AND WED. PREFERRED WARMER FWC MOS NUMBERS.
HOWEVER...USED 2 OR 3 DEGREES ABOVE MAV GUIDANCE FOR THE HIGHS TO
SHOW MORE DETAILS. INCREASING DEWPOINTS WILL KEEP LOWS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 60S LOWLANDS RANGING TO THE UPPER 50S HIGHEST ELEVATIONS AHEAD
OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT THU. CHANCE POPS ENTER THE NORTHWEST
SECTIONS ON WED NIGHT AHEAD OF EXPECTED COLD FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A BLEND AMONG THE GFS AND ECMWF SEEMS THE BEST SOLUTION FOR
EXPECTED PATTERN WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA AND TRAILING
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE AREA LATE THU INTO FRI. GFS SHOWS QPF
AHEAD OF BOUNDARY DURING MAX HEATING ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH
STRONGER CONVECTION ALONG THE COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT INTO FRI
MORNING.  MINOR TWEAKS IN TIMING OF THE FRONT ARRIVAL MADE...
HOPEFULLY BRINGING SOME RAINFALL TO ALLEVIATE CURRENT DRY
CONDITIONS.

DRIER AIR MASS AND COOLER TEMPS EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT LATE FRI
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  GRADUALLY REMOVED POPS FRI AFTERNOON AND
EVENING CLEARING SKIES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HPC GUIDANCE HAVE A GOOD
HANDLE IN THERMS OF TEMPS AND SKY CONDITIONS FROM DAY 4 TO 7.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THE AREA.
POSSIBILITY OF CB REMAINS...ALTHOUGH MAY HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME
FORMING WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT FROM DIURNAL HEATING. DESPITE
THAT...PLENTY OF MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT.

LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING WILL KEEP NIGHT TIME ACTIVITY TO A
MINIMUM...HOWEVER WE WILL WATCH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TRACK
ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY.

MONDAY...MORE DIURNAL HEATING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EXPECTED.

&&
