AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
646 AM EDT WED JUN 4 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
MOST WIDESPREAD CONVECTION WILL TRY TO LIFT FURTHER NORTH TODAY.
BUT FLOOD AND SEVERE THREAT CONTINUES. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS
NORTH ON THURSDAY. SO SUMMER HEAT IS COMING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
ACTIVE WEATHER ON-GOING THROUGHOUT THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT...WITH
SMALL STREAM FLOODING AND A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WARNINGS PLUS
MORE TORNADO WATCHES VIA SPC.

ONE MORE DAY OF ACTIVE WEATHER...BEFORE SUMMER MAKES AN APPEARANCE.

NOT TOO KEEN ON MORNING CONVECTION HTS-CRW-BKW ON SOUTH. BUT SMALL
STREAM FLOOD THREAT CONTINUES ACROSS THE EXTREME NORTH.

MAIN SUPPORT TRIES TO LIFT A BIT FURTHER NORTH TODAY...SO HOPING
THE MOST WIDESPREAD CONVECTION SHIFTS INTO WESTERN PENNSLVANIA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY 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 /SUNDAY 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 /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CONVECTION CKB-EKN SHOULD EXIT ARND 12Z. HAVE CONVECTION REDEVELOPG
AFTER 15Z. MOST WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY MAY SHIFT N TOWARD WRN PA FOR
THE 18Z WED TO 00Z THU...BUT A QUICK BAND SHOULD STILL MOVE THRU
WV 16-21Z.

ALSO INCLUDED SOME POST PRECIP FOG AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN WED NIGHT
AFTER 02Z THURSDAY AND WINDS DECREASE.

AVIATION OUTLOOK /AFTER 00Z THURSDAY/...
IFR IN VALLEY FOG POSSIBLE 04Z-12Z THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH A FEW HOURS LONGER THAN
PRIOR...SINCE AFTERNOON CONVECTION SHOULD SWING THROUGH THE WET
GROUND COUNTIES ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA.
ALSO ADDED A FEW COUNTIES TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH...AROUND EKN.

CURRENTLY NO RIVER FLOODING FORECAST...STRONG RISES ON HOCKING AND
MAYBE THE WEST FORK.
