255 AM EDT WED JUN 4 2008

...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 400 AM EDT FOR
TAYLOR COUNTY...

AT 251 AM EDT...LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS REPORTED WATER 
PROBLEMS CONTINUE OVER THE WARNED AREA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN 
TAYLOR COUNTY.

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE 
ACROSS THE COUNTY...AND THIS ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL ACT TO 
MAINTAIN OR EVEN INCREASE THE WATER PROBLEMS.  

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO GRAFTON

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
858 PM EDT TUE JUN 3 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE COMMON THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS A
FRONT REMAINS DRAPED OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY. MONITORING FOR
FLOOD AND SEVERE THREAT.  UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ON THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

WITH ACTIVE WEATHER ON-GOING...WILL KEEP THIS SHORT.

AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS DEVELOPED FROM SOUTHERN
OHIO WESTWARD.  MODELS HAD A PRETTY REASONABLE HANDLE ON THESE
STORMS...WITH HIGH POPS ACROSS OUR NORTH OVERNIGHT.  HAVE PULLED THE
HIGHER POPS SOUTHWARD A LITTLE TO REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS.

EVERYTHING ELSE APPEARS TO BE REASONABLE...AND ONLY MINOR TWEAKS ARE
EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
WARM FRONT SITUATED ACROSS NORTHERN TIER OF AREA RIGHT AT THE START
OF THE PERIOD.  NEXT IN A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE TROUGHS MOVES IN FROM
THE W ALONG WITH STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL SW FEED ESPECIALLY GIVEN
MORNING HOURS WITH ENHANCED LLJ AT SUNRISE.  THIS SHOULD GIVE RISE
TO SOME KIND OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WITH HEAVY RAIN FALL MOVING
THROUGH E CNTRL OH COUNTIES IN THE MORNING AND ON TO THE ENE THROUGH
MIDDAY.  SECOND SHORT WAVE TAKES A SIMILAR TRACK IN THE AFTERNOON
LIKELY GENERATING ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION NEAR THE FRONT.

FLOW OF 40-50 KTS PLUS CAPE UP TO 2500 J/KG ON DEW POINTS AROUND
70 AND H85 THETA E VALUES NEAR 340K...SPS SLIGHT RISK ACROSS
NORTHERN PORTION OF AREA LOOKS GOOD.  THE HEAVIEST QPF IN ALL THE
MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE IN AN W-E AXIS N OF THE FORECAST
AREA...BUT THE UPPER OH BASIN LOCATION OF THIS AXIS...AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN SEVERAL TIMES TONIGHT THROUGH WED DOES
RAISE CONCERN FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.  RIVER FORECAST CRESTS ARE
COMFORTABLY BELOW FLOOD STAGE AT THIS TIME...BUT THIS WILL NEED
CLOSELY MONITORED.

AFTER WED...WARM FRONT LIFTS N OF THE AREA...PUTTING THE AREA UNDER
UPPER RIDGE WITH SUMMER LIKE WEATHER FOR THE COUNT.

STAYED MOSTLY NEAREST HIGH SIDE OF GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS WED WITH
LOWEST VALUES N.  LOWS WED NT AND THU NT LOOKED GOOD.  RAISED HIGHS
THU TO REFLECT A BLEND OF THE NUMBERS AS THE MAV /MID 90S/ STILL
SEEMS A BIT HIGH.  STAYED A LITTLE BELOW THE HIGH MAV FRI AND
LOWERED THE VALLEYS FRI NT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED BERMUDA HIGH WILL SET UP OVER THE
LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THIS WILL TRANSLATE INTO A PERIOD
OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER FOR THE CWA IN SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE FLOW.
THIS WILL EFFECTIVELY DEFLECT INCOMING SYSTEMS FROM THE WEST OFF TO
THE NORTH...AND WILL EXPECT THE RING OF FIRE TO SET UP ALONG THE
PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH. MAIN QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER OR NOT THE
PERIPHERY WILL SINK FAR ENOUGH SOUTHEAST TO CLIP THE CWA TO ENHANCE
ANY THUNDERSTORM THREATS. OTHERWISE...WILL SEE A FAIR AMOUNT OF
CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT DURING THE HEATING OF THE DAY...AND WILL EXPECT
A FEW OF THESE TO BREAK THE CAP AND MATURE INTO THUNDERSTORMS.
SHOULD BE DIFFICULT TO UTILIZE ANY CAPE HOWEVER...AND WILL EXPECT
MOST PLACES TO REMAIN DRY DURING THE DURATION OF THIS SET UP.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S GENERALLY AREA
WIDE...WITH THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS A SMALL HANDFUL OF DEGREES OFF THE
PACE OF THE LOWLANDS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH OFF
TO THE EAST OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...RADAR MOSAIC IS ALREADY SHOWING
ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHWEST OHIO.

THESE STORMS ARE MOVING EAST AND SHOULD IMPACT PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA OVERNIGHT.

EXPECT STORMS WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO AND
NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA ONCE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY.

MVFR CONDITIONS SHOULD BE COMMON IN AND NEAR THE STORMS...WITH VFR
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION. THERE COULD BE
SOME LOCAL AREAS OF IFR CIGS/VSBYS IN SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS.

AVIATION OUTLOOK /AFTER 00Z THURSDAY/...
MVFR WITH OCCASIONAL IFR WX IN RW/TRW ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO AND
NORTHERN WV WED NIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SEVERAL UPPER AIR DISTURBANCES...850 INFLOW OF 50 KNOTS FROM SW
TONIGHT...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER NEAR 2 INCHES...COULD SPELL
TRAINING OF SOME DOWNPOURS ALONG WARM FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN PORTION
OF AREA TONIGHT AND WED. 3 HR FFG COULD BE REACHED IN SPOTS ACROSS
THE NORTH WITH EACH PASSING S/W. HOWEVER...EXPECTING ENOUGH
RECOVERY TIME BETWEEN S/W TO PREVENT PROBLEMS. AS A RESULT...WILL
NOT HOIST A FLASH FLOOD WATCH ATTM. HOWEVER...THE HAZARD STILL
EXISTS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF
THE CWA TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
