AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
307 PM EDT WED JUN 4 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT CONTINUES THE CONVECTION...AND FLOOD AND SEVERE THREAT
INTO TONIGHT.  IT LIFTS NORTH OF THE AREA BY FIRST THING THURSDAY
MORNING.  HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SURFACE AND ALOFT THURSDAY ON.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
CONVECTIVE WAVE TRAIN MACHINE KEEPS CHURNING COMPLEXES EAST THROUGH
THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN HIGH...OVER
1.75 INCHES IN SOME CASES...AND STRONG DYNAMICS SETTING THE STAGE
FOR LINE ECHOES WITH POTENT WINDS AND THE OCCASIONAL ROTATION WITHIN
STORMS. OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS INTO THE OVERNIGHT...EXPECTING A
SLOW AND GRADUAL INFLUENCE OF A STRENGTHENING 500HPA RIDGE OFF TO
THE SOUTH. ALSO...AN UPSTREAM UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL ASSIST IN
ALTERING THE OVERALL PATTERN...AND PUTTING AN END TO THE CONVECTIVE
PATTERN. BEFORE IT ENDS...THE PATH WILL TAKE THE COMPLEXES TO THE
NORTH OUT OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT...AND ADVECTION OF HIGHER 500HPA
HEIGHTS WILL COMMENCE. THIS WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER
TIME BERMUDA HIGH DOMINATING THE WEATHER.

KEPT OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES BASED ON CURRENT VALUES DESPITE THE
FACT IT IS STILL EARLY AFTERNOON. NOT EXPECTING MUCH OF AN
INCREASE...SO SET UP MIN T VALUES ONLY A SMALL HANDFUL OF DEGREES
BELOW THE CURRENT TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
WARM FRONT LIFTS N OF THE AREA FIRST THING THU MORNING...TAKING MOST
OF THE CONVECTION WITH IT.  A VERY WARM AND MOIST AIR MASS
ENCOMPASSES THE AREA IN THE WAKE OPF THE WARM FRONT...WITH DEW
POINTS NEAR 70 DRIVING CAPES UP TO 2 GRAND J/KG.  WITH SOUTHERN EDGE
OF WESTERLIES OVER NORTHERN EDGE OF FORECAST AREA...WITH UPPER LEVEL
DIV THERE AS WELL AS IN THE MOUNTAINS...OPTED TO MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHC
POPS UP N AND IN THE MOUNTAINS.  IF ACTIVITY THIS EVENING LAST DEEP
ENOUGH INTO TONIGHT...THEN LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES IN THE MORNING COULD
HELP PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP THU AFTERNOON.

ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO FORM THURSDAY AFTERNOON SHOULD DIE WITH
THE SUNSET OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER.  IN AN AIR MASS THIS
MOIST...THUNDERSTORMS REFORM ON THEIR OWN OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND
BECOME TONIGHT TO GET RID OF AFTER SUNSET.

NONETHELESS...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SURFACE AND ALOFT SHOULD ALLOW
THE WEATHER TO SETTLE DOWN EVEN FURTHER FROM FRI FORWARD...AS WE
GET INTO THE SUMMER HEAT...AND JUST THE MINIMAL CHANCE FOR AN
AFTERNOON OR EVENING MOUNTAIN THUNDERSTORM.  USED ELEVATED HEAT
SOURCE TOOL TO DEPICT THESE POPS AS WELL AS THE CLOUDS.  ON
SATURDAY...A WEAK COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE W MAY TRIGGER
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS IN E OH AS WELL.

USED A BLEND OF THE NUMBERS FOR HIGHS THU AND FRI AS THE HIGH MAV
APPEARS A BIT TOO HIGH GIVEN ONGOING RAIN / WET GROUNDS.  CLOSE TO
THE WELL-CONVERGED NUMBERS FOR LOWS THU NT AND FRI NT.  STAYED JUST
BELOW THE MEX FOR HIGHS SAT AND CLOSE TO IT FOR LOWS SAT NT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HEAT WAVE REGIME IN FIRM CONTROL THIS PERIOD.  USED DIURNAL TOOL TO
DEPICT CUMULUS IN THE GRIDS AND RAN POPS OFF OF THAT TO DEPICT THE
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A MOUNTAIN THUNDERSTORM EACH AFTERNOON.  OTHERWISE
DECIDED NOT TO BITE ON HPC POPS FOR MON AS EVEN THE CANADIAN DOES
NOT SHOW ANY FEATURE NEARBY THEN.

DID NOT STRAY FAR FROM THE MEX AT ALL IN THIS BENIGN PATTERN AS THE
GROUND WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO DRY OUT.  THERE SHOULD NOT
BE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES FROM DAY TO DAY...WENT 2F LOWER DAY 7 PER
MEX/CLIMO.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CONVECTION ROLLING THROUGH THE CWA...MAINLY AFFECTING THE NORTHERN
SITES. CRW AND BKW HAVE BEEN SPARED SO FAR TODAY. ANOTHER WAVE OF
CONVECTION IS GETTING ORGANIZED BACK IN SOUTHWESTERN OHIO AND
NORTHERN KENTUCKY...AND IS PROPAGATING EASTWARD. CONVECTION WILL
BRING CEILINGS DOWN TO MVFR CRITERIA...AND JUST ABOVE THAT TO VFR
AROUND 4KFT WHEN NOT EXPERIENCING A TSRA. VISIBILITIES WILL ALSO
FLUCTUATE DOWN TO IFR BRIEFLY IN STORMS. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY IN
STORMS AND HAVE CARRIED TEMPOS WITH GUSTS TO 30KT.

EXPECTING CONVECTION TO DIE DOWN INTO THE OVERNIGHT...AND WINDS TO
SUBSIDE...AND WILL SEE LOCATIONS FOG IN WITH THE WELL SATURATED
GROUND.

AVIATION OUTLOOK /AFTER 18Z THURSDAY/... IFR IN FOG POSSIBLE THURSDAY
NIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT ANOTHER A FEW HOURS FOR THE
AFTERNOON CONVECTION SWINGING THROUGH THE WET GROUND COUNTIES ACROSS
SOUTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA.

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