AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
430 PM EDT SUN APR 5 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT TONIGHT...WITH SOME GUSTY SHOWERS AND STORMS. SHOWERY AND
MUCH COLDER MONDAY. SNOW SHOWERS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY MOUNTAINS. BRIEF VISIT BY HIGH PRESSURE MIDWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MODELS SHOW STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT...MASS FIELDS ARE REASONABLY SIMILAR. ATMOSPHERE WILL
QUICKLY BECOME MORE UNSTABLE THIS EVENING...AS INTENSIFYING
SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL BRINGS MOISTURE NORTHWARD WHILE STRONG MID LEVEL
JET AXIS MOVES ACROSS WITH THE ATTENDING SHORT WAVE. THUS...HAVE
MENTIONED STRONG GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS. EXPECT THE
BAND OF CONVECTION TO BE CONCENTRATED IN A LINE ALONG AND JUST AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT. THIS WILL PROBABLY BRING THE BEST POPS ACROSS THE
AREA A BIT QUICKER THAN THE MODELS...AS THE STORMS TRY TO ACCELERATE
AWAY FROM THE FRONT. EXPECT THE FRONT TO BE NEAR THE OHIO RIVER
AROUND 03Z...I79 CORRIDOR AROUND 06Z...AND EXITING THE MOUNTAINS
AROUND 10Z. GOOD COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL KEEP THE WINDS
GUSTY...BUT ONLY ON THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN RIDGES WOULD THERE POSSIBLY
BE WIND ADVISORY. SO NO WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED. SHOULD BE A
RELATIVE MIN IN SHOWERS LATER TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT AS A MODEST
DRY SLOT MOVES ACROSS.

PREFER THE MAV TEMP GUIDANCE TONIGHT...AS TEMPS WILL BE SLOWER TO
DROP OFF INITIALLY EARLY TONIGHT...AND THE COLD AIR WAITS UNTIL JUST
AFTER THIS PERIOD IN THE FORM OF REINFORCING SHOT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
PERIOD IS DOMINATED BY VERY COOL AIR MASS...AND UNSETTLED MOIST
UPSLOPE FLOW...THAT CAUSES RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS INCLUDING SOME SNOW
ACCUMULATION /ESPECIALLY HIGHER ELEVATIONS/.

MODELS IN QUITE GOOD AGREEMENT FOR MASS FIELDS AND SURFACE LOW
PLACEMENT WITH THE SYSTEM MONDAY. WINDS ON BACKSIDE OF LOW MAY REACH
ADVISORY CRITERIA IN MOUNTAINS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH
GUSTS PERHAPS EXCEEDING 45 MPH. AFTER BRIEF DRY SLOT BEHIND FIRST
FRONT EARLY MONDAY MORNING...A SECONDARY FRONT OF SORTS /MORE
OBVIOUSLY MARKED IN THE NAM/ AND RETURN OF DEEPER MOISTURE COMES
BACK IN FROM THE WEST MIDMORNING ONWARD. RELATIVE LULL IN SHOWERS
EARLY MORNING...GETS OVERCOME BY INSTABILITY SHOWERS THROUGH THE DAY
AS COLD AIR ADVECTION ENSUES. I FEEL THE NAM QPF FIELD IS TOO DRY
GIVEN THE NOTEWORTHY INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AVAILABLE AS
SUGGESTED BY BUFKIT SOUNDINGS. PREFER GENERAL BROADBRUSH OF
SREF/GFS/ECMWF...WITH LESS ACTIVITY NORTH AND WEST OF OHIO RIVER BUT
EVERYONE SEEING AT LEAST SOME SHOWERS. 925MB TEMPERATURES TAKE UNTIL
00Z TUESDAY TO DROP BELOW ZERO FOR MOST OF THE AREA...SO CHANGE FROM
RAIN TO SNOW SHOWERS WILL TAKE TIME /EARLIEST AT HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS/.

FOR THE PERIOD OF MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...PERSISTENT
MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW EXISTS. WITH TIME...THE SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
FOCUS MORE AND MORE TOWARDS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS VERSUS THE
LOWLANDS. WIND TRAJECTORY IS INITIALLY FAVORABLE FOR ALL OF
MOUNTAINS FOR UPSLOPE SNOW...BUT SOME BACKING IN DIRECTION
EVENTUALLY FAVORS NORTHERN MOUNTAINS VERSUS FARTHER SOUTH. THOUGH
SNOW WILL BEGIN MONDAY NIGHT...IT WILL TAKE UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING
FOR DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE TO SATURATE AS BEST OF COLD CORE ARRIVES.
DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...MUCH OF SNOW THAT FALLS WILL BE MELTING
BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER SUN ANGLE THIS TIME OF YEAR...AS WELL AS WARM
GROUND. FIGURING ON INCH OR LESS FOR LOWLANDS BY DAWN
TUESDAY...THOUGH MAINLY ON ELEVATED SURFACES AND GRASSY AREAS VERSUS
ACTUAL ROADWAYS. THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS OF WEST VIRGINIA...GENERALLY
ABOVE 2000 FEET ELEVATION...COULD HAVE 2 TO 3 INCHES BY DAWN
TUESDAY...WITH ADDITIONAL LIGHT ACCUMULATION TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT.

LAST OF UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS END WEDNESDAY MORNING. GFS SUGGESTS A
CLIPPER OF SORTS ON BACK SIDE OF LARGE UPPER TROUGH WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON-EVENING...BUT WILL AWAIT MORE CONFIRMATION FROM ADDITIONAL
RUNS AND OTHER MODELS...BEFORE INTRODUCING TO THE ACTUAL FORECAST.

WITH GROWING SEASON JUST UNDERWAY FOR GENERALLY THE KY/OH/WV
TRI-STATE AREA...WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF POSSIBLE FROST/FREEZE FOR
THE AFFECTED ZONES MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GOING ALONG WITH HPC IDEA OF A GENERAL ECMWF/GFS BLEND WITH MORE
EMPHASIS ON THE EURO MODEL AS TIME GOES ON.  GENERAL EAST COAST
TROUGH PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD...LEADING TO
TEMPERATURES GENERALLY AT OR BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD.

GFS WANTS TO BRING A CLIPPER-TYPE DISTURBANCE INTO THE TROUGH LATE
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  THIS IS A NEW FEATURE THAT IS A BIT
SUSPICIOUS AND ABSENT FOR THE MOST PART FROM THE ECMWF...SO WILL BE
LEAVING ANY EFFECTS OUT FOR NOW OTHER THAN SOME CLOUDS.

MORE SIGNIFICANT H500 WAVE TREKS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY
THURSDAY...WITH WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHWARD AHEAD OF IT.  HAVE SOME
CHANCE POPS FOR LIGHT RAIN TO START. FRONT MAY STALL OVER THE CWA
FOR A TIME UNTIL SURFACE WAVE KICKS IT EAST FRIDAY NIGHT.  COULD BE
A GOOD RAINMAKER FOR OUR AREA WITH AMPLE FLOW FROM THE GULF...PUT IN
LIKELY POPS IN EVEN AT THIS DISTANCE.  A PERIOD OF UPSLOPE-DRIVEN
SHOWERS MAY OCCUR THROUGH SATURDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN
FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.

HPC TEMPERATURES LEANED MORE TOWARDS THE ENSEMBLE MOS
GUIDANCE...WHICH WAS GENERALLY COOLER AND SEEMS MORE PRUDENT IN THIS
TROUGHING PATTERN.  DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
18Z SUNDAY THRU 18Z MONDAY...
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. A BAND
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH MAY PRODUCE STRONG
GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL...ARE POSSIBLE ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. EXPECT THE FRONT TO REACH THE OHIO RIVER AROUND 03Z...THE I79
CORRIDOR AROUND 06Z AND EXITING THE MOUNTAINS AROUND 11Z. AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...EXPECT VFR OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...WITH INCREASING
SOUTHWEST WINDS. BEHIND THE FRONT...BECOMING MVFR TO IFR
CEILINGS...WITH SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS DEVELOPING BY AFTERNOON
IN THE COLDER AND UNSTABLE NORTHWEST FLOW. SOME OF THE WINDS WILL
ALSO BE GUSTY BEHIND THE FRONT.

AVIATION OUTLOOK /BEYOND 18Z MONDAY/...
IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE ALONG AND BEHIND COLD FRONT THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING.

CHARLESTON WV DOPPLER RADAR MAY HAVE INTERMITTENT BRIEF OUTAGES DUE
