Area forecast discussion, Sep 9, 1:31 PM EDT, 2 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 131 PM EDT WED SEP 9 2009 .SYNOPSIS... UPPER LEVEL LOW HANGS AROUND THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDER FOR SOME LOCATIONS. THE LOW GRADUALLY EXITS FRIDAY...GIVING WAY TO UPPER RIDGE AND DRIER AIR OVER THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER EASTERN KY HAS GENERATED SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING...MAINLY OVER SOUTHERN WV AND OUR SW VA COUNTIES. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALSO BEGUN TO SPRING UP THIS MORNING EAST OF CRW. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON WITH DAYTIME HEATING. BEST CHANCES STILL APPEAR TO BE OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WHERE THE BEST INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE EXIST. IN ADDITION TO THE UPPER LOW OVER EASTERN KENTUCKY...A SECONDARY LOW OVER EASTERN PA/MD HAS GENERATED SHOWERS OVER EASTERN OH/SW PA. THESE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO OUR NORTHERN WV AND SE OHIO ZONES WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WITH THE OVERALL LIGHT FLOW PATTERN IN PLACE...STORMS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR POTENTIAL WATER ISSUES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... ONE UPPER LOW IS CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER NORTHCENTRAL KENTUCKY AND ANOTHER IS OVER NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA. MODELS FORECAST THESE TWO TO ROTATE AROUND EACH OTHER THIS PERIOD...WITH THE NET EFFECT OF A BROAD UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER OUR CWA BY THURSDAY MORNING. JUST LOOKING AT THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES...IT DOES LOOK TEMPTING TO THROW HIGH POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY. HOWEVER...THE VERTICAL MOTION AND THERMODYNAMICS FIELDS TELL A DIFFERENT STORY. MOISTURE IS NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE...AROUND 1 TO 1.3 INCHES...WITH HIGHEST VALUES IN THE SOUTH. THERE IS LITTLE LOW LEVEL FOCUSING AS SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDS SOUTHWESTWARD FROM NEW ENGLAND ACROSS OUR AREA...ACTUALLY LEADING TO SOME DOWNSLOPING WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. ATMOSPHERIC SOUNDINGS SHOW MARGINAL CAPE WITH HEATING...EXCEPT BETTER DOWN SOUTH WITH MORE MOISTURE. MOST OF THE UPPER SUPPORT WITH THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA UPPER LOW WILL BE NORTH IN PENNSYLVANIA AS THE LOW SHIFTS WEST NORTHWEST. THUS...THE BETTER DYNAMICS...MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY LOOK TO BE WITH THE KENTUCKY UPPER LOW AS IT DROPS SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AREAS. INITIALLY...A TROUGH AXIS FROM THE KENTUCKY UPPER LOW EXTENDING EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN WV COAL FIELDS IS SUPPORTING ISOLATED ELEVATED NOCTURNAL CONVECTION. THIS WILL DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY AS THE TODAY FORECAST GETS UNDER WAY. THUS...FOR TODAY...THERE WILL BE A STRONG GRADIENT OF CAT POPS IN THE SOUTH TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS CENTRAL AND NORTH TODAY. OUTSIDE OF THE EARLY MORNING ACTIVITY...INSERTED THUNDER ONLY ACROSS THE SOUTH...WITH JUST ISOLATED SHOWERS CENTRAL AND NORTH. MODEL TEMP GUIDANCE CLOSE AND LOOKS GOOD. EXCEPT POSSIBLY ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH WITH ANY SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS...DO NOT EXPECT WATER PROBLEMS. MOST OF THE SHOWERS WILL DISSIPATE BY EARLY EVENING...EXCEPT ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH WHERE SOME UPPER SUPPORT CONTINUES. MODEL TEMP GUIDANCE TONIGHT AGAIN CLOSE AND LOOKS REASONABLE. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... THE MAIN THEME THIS PERIOD IS THE UPPER LOW STILL SPINNING OVER THE REGION...THEN GRADUALLY GIVING WAY TO RIDGING AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. WHILE NAM REMAINS THE MODEL THAT RETROGRADES THE LOW FARTHEST WEST /AND SLOWEST WITH THE EVENTUAL NORTHEASTWARD PUSH OUT OF OUR AREA/...ITS SOLUTION IS NOT AS EXTREME NOW AS IT WAS PREVIOUSLY. CONVERSELY...THE GFS REMAINS THE QUICKEST TO KICK THE LOW EAST...BUT NOT AS FAST AS IN PREVIOUS RUNS. THE 12Z ECMWF IS SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. ODDLY ENOUGH...THE GEM AND SREF SUGGEST THE ACTUAL CENTER OF CIRCULATION FOR THE UPPER LOW WILL STAY ALONG OR JUST EAST OF THE APPALACHIAN SPINE AFTER IT CROSSES...INSTEAD OF RETROGRADING BACK INTO THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY LIKE THE REST OF THE MODELS. WHILE THERE ARE DIFFERENCES...THERE IS ALSO SOME CONVERGING OF SOLUTIONS COMPARED TO PRIOR RUNS. MY FORECAST REPRESENTS A BLEND...IN HOPES OF REFLECTING THE COMMON TARGET THAT THE MODELS APPEAR TO BE TRYING TO REACH. FOR THURSDAY...EITHER THE RETROGRADING UPPER LOW OR AT LEAST A VORTICITY LOBE APPEARS SET TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN TO SOUTHERN ZONES. I PLACED CHANCE POPS IN THE SOUTHERN ZONES...AS WELL AS AGAINST THE EAST SLOPES WITH THE MOIST FLOW ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE CIRCULATION RUNNING INTO THE MOUNTAINS...BUT MUCH OF LOWLANDS LOOKS TO STAY DRY ESPECIALLY NORTH. BY FRIDAY...UPPER LOW WILL BE EXITING YET STILL ALSO IN OUR VICINITY...HOWEVER...DRIER AIR WILL BE WORKING INTO THE CIRCULATION. PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL BE DROPPING WELL UNDER AN INCH AND A QUARTER...EVEN UNDER AN INCH ACCORDING TO THE NAM. COVERAGE OF ANY SHOWERS WILL BE VERY LIMITED...AND I ONLY PLACED LOW CHANCE POPS IN THE MOUNTAINS. ALL MODELS TRANSITION TO UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BY SATURDAY...YIELDING A DRY PLEASANT DAY. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... HAVE GONE WITH HPC THINKING WITH SOME MINOR TWEAKS. UPPER LOW SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST WITH UPPER RIDGING DEVELOPING ACROSS AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. LOW PRESSURE...AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT...WILL DRIFT EASTWARD FROM THE PLAINS THROUGH THE PERIOD. AN ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL PUSH EAST INTO THE REGION TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. SUNDAY SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY...WITH MAINLY DIURNAL PRECIPITATION MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HPC TEMP GUIDANCE LOOKED GOOD AND WAS GENERALLY FOLLOWED. && .AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... 18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY... AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE REGION WILL GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY OVER SOUTHERN WV AND SW VA. MUCH OF THE THUNDERSTORM/SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET...HOWEVER SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. EXPECT HEAVY RAIN...REDUCED VISIBILITIES...AND SMALL HAIL IN VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS. PATCHY DENSE FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE PRECIPITATION OCCURS TODAY AND WHERE CLEARING TAKES PLACE. AFTER 18Z THURSDAY... NO WIDESPREAD AVIATION RESTRICTIONS ANTICIPATED. && .RLX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WV...NONE. OH...NONE. KY...NONE. VA...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...MDP/JMV NEAR TERM...SL/JMV SHORT TERM...MDP LONG TERM...JSH AVIATION...SL
