Severe Thunderstorm Warning 112, NWS Charleston, WV

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
147 PM EDT TUE JUN 9 2009

.SYNOPSIS...COLD FRONT STATIONARY NEAR OR OVER THE AREA TONIGHT...
THEN PUSHES NORTH ON WEDNESDAY. NEXT COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE
THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION.
THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF STORMS WAS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO AND
PORTIONS OF NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA...WHERE A FEW OF THE STORMS
HAVE ALREADY BECOME SEVERE.

EXPECT THE CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE LATE EVENING
HOURS...BEFORE DISSIPATING.

CONTINUED PREVIOUS THINKING OF PATCHY DENSE FOG ACROSS THE FAVORED
VALLEY LOCATIONS.

FOG AND ANY ASSOCIATED LOW CLOUDS SHOULD BURN OFF EARLY WEDNESDAY.

WITH DAYTIME HEATING...EXPECT SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD ONCE AGAIN
DEVELOP. GFS/NAM SUGGEST GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF STORMS WILL BE
ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO DURING THE AFTERNOON.

THESE MODELS ARE ALSO SUGGESTING A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SEE NO REAL REASON TO DOUBT IT
AND HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS.

USED A BLEND OF MAX/MET NUMBERS AS WELL AS PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR
TEMPS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AFTER THE DIFFUSE FRONT LIFTS BACK NORTH THROUGH THE CWA...THE
SHORT TERM FORECAST WILL BE DOMINATED BY NUMEROUS RIPPLES IN THE
UPPER LEVEL FLOW THAT WILL SERVE TO SPARK CONVECTION ACROSS THE
AREA AS THE WARM SECTOR REIGNS. CHALLENGE COMES FROM TRYING TO PUT
HIGHER POPS IN AREAS WHERE MODELS AGREE ON STRONGER UPPER LEVEL
FORCING ELEMENTS...BUT EVEN THIS FAR OUT...IT REMAINS A DAUNTING
TASK. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS
WELL INTO THE 60S.

FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A SATURATED COLUMN FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RISING TO AROUND 2 INCHES.
WITH THE PATTERN OF RECURRING CONVECTION...WATER ISSUES WILL BECOME
A CONCERN FOR LOCATIONS THAT RECEIVE MULTIPLE BOUTS OF
THUNDERSTORMS. ON THE OTHER HAND...WATER LOADING SHOULD DIMINISH THE
SEVERE THREAT.

AS THE SURFACE LOW PASSES TO THE NORTHEAST...THE STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL PASS THROUGH THE CWA WITH A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE OF AIRMASS. THE
MID LEVEL RIDGE THAT HAD BEEN STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP THE PREVIOUS
FRONT FROM MOVING THROUGH WITH WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW WILL GIVE WAY
THIS TIME. A BRIEF CLEARING TREND WILL ALSO ENSUE BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT. WHILE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED IN THE WARM SECTOR...THE WARM AND
HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY SHOULD BE HELD IN
CHECK WITH POOR INSOLATION.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW TIMING ISSUES WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT
THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD...HOWEVER...THE 12Z GFS LOOKS TO BE
TRENDING TOWARD THE ECMWF SO PERHAPS THE MODELS ARE GETTING MORE IN
SYNC.  FOR NOW...IT APPEARS THAT THE INITIAL COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
WILL BE COMPLETE BY 12Z FRIDAY...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW IN PLACE AT
THAT TIME.  THE DEEPER MOISTURE WILL BE PULLING OUT...SO A SMALL
CHANCE OF SHOWERS EARLY SHOULD GIVE WAY TO DRY WEATHER IN THE
AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION.  THE SKY MAKE
TAKE LONGER TO CLEAR HOWEVER AS THE NW FLOW AND LINGERING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE MAY HOLD ONTO THE CLOUDS LONGER.

FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...SFC HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD PROVIDE
DRY WEATHER AS THE MOISTURE IS LIMITED AT BEST ACROSS THE AREA.  THE
QUESTION THEN BECOMES HOW QUICKLY WILL THE FRONT RETURN NORTHWARD.
THE CANADIAN AND EARLIER GFS RUNS QUICKLY BROUGHT THE FRONT BACK
NORTH AND SUGGESTED IT COULD RAIN AS EARLY AS SATURDAY NIGHT.  FOR
NOW HAVE JUST BEGUN TO EDGE THE CHANCES FOR RAIN BACK INTO THE
REGION LATE SAT NIGHT AND THEN INCREASE THEM SOME SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY AS ENERGY EJECTS OUT OF THE SWRN US TROUGH AND RIDES ACROSS
THE RIDGE OVER THE SERN US.  MOISTURE WILL DEFINITELY BE ON THE
INCREASE AND WITH THE UNCERTAINTY ON THE TIMING OF THE WAVES...A
CHANCE FOR A SHOWER IS POSSIBLE ANY TIME SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.  FOR
TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY FOLLOWED ALONG WITH THE HPC GUIDANCE AS
THEY COMPARED WELL WITH THE 850 MB TEMP FCST AND ALSO WITH THE
CLOUDS AROUND...WHICH SHOULD HOLD THE HIGHS DOWN JUST A TOUCH DAY 6
AND 7 ALONG WITH ALLOWING FOR A SLOW MODERATION OVERNIGHT FOR LOWS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGES SHOW SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST OHIO AND
NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA. THESE STORMS ARE DEVELOPING IN RESPONSE TO
A COLD FRONT WHICH WAS PUSHING SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE REGION.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE JUST ABOUT
EVERYWHERE THIS AFTERNOON. OUTSIDE OF THE STORMS...VFR CONDITIONS
ARE ANTICIPATED. SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.

THE STORMS SHOULD DIMINSH AFTER SUNSET...WITH MOST OF THE REGION
DRY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. DEPENDING ON WHAT AREAS RECEIVE RAIN
TODAY...PATCHY DENSE FOG IS POSSIBLE AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH FAVORED
VALLEY LOCATIONS SEEING IFR/LIFE CONDITIONS.

THE FOG SHOULD BURN OFF EARLY WEDNESDAY WITH VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED EVERYWHERE BY 15Z.

TAFPKB.
