...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 745 AM EDT FOR 
NORTHWESTERN RITCHIE AND SOUTHEASTERN PLEASANTS COUNTIES...

AT 634 AM EDT...ALTHOUGH HEAVY RAINFALL HAS MOVED OUT OF THE WARNED 
AREA...STREAMS AND CREEKS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE FROM THE PREVIOUS 
RAINFALL. IN ADDITION...LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL WAS HEADING 
TOWARD THE REGION.

DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN. DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR ON FLOODED ROADWAYS.

PLEASE REPORT HIGH WATER TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BY CALLING
TOLL FREE 877-633-6772 WHEN YOU CAN DO SO SAFELY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
425 AM EDT TUE MAY 18 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SLOWLY MOVES ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE AREA THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH NUMEROUS RIPPLES IN THE UPPER FLOW WILL
CONTINUE TO MAKE FOR A COMPLICATED EVOLUTION OF PRECIPITATION THRU
THE NEAR TERM.

AS OF 08Z THIS MORNING...A WEAK SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS DRAPED
ACROSS SOUTHERN OH INTO EASTERN KY. A COUPLE SPOKES OF ELEVATED
CONVECTIVE BANDS MOVING NORTH THRU THE AREA IN RESPONSE TO A VORT
LOBE MOVING THRU. HI RES MODELS AND EVEN SOME OF THE GLOBAL MODELS
PICKED UP ON THE LINE AFFECTING AREAS ALONG AND JUST TO WEST OF OH
RVR EARLY THIS MORNING. BOTH OF THESE LINES HAVE PRODUCED LOCALIZED
HVY RAINFALL THAT RESULTED IN SOME FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BEING ISSUED
ON THE MID SHIFT. DESPITE PW HANGING ARND AN INCH...THESE HAVE BEEN
VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS...WITH ESTIMATES ARND BETWEEN 1 AND
1.5 INCHES ALONG THE LINE.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN TAKING THIS DISTURBANCE NORTH OUT OF
THE AREA BY MID MORNING. USED LATEST WRF NMM FOR TIMING OF THIS
FEATURE. EXPECT THE FOCUS TO SHIFT TO THE CONVECTIVE LINE ALONG OH
RVR NEXT FEW HRS...WITH ONLY SCT SHRA ACROSS WV COUNTIES.

EXPECT TO SEE A LULL IN THE ACTION EARLY THIS MORNING UNTIL DAYTIME
HEATING CAN ACTIVATE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY
MOVE OUT OF SOUTHERN OH AND EASTERN KY INTO SE OH AND CENTRAL WV BY
BY LATE MORNING...WHERE IT WILL CHECK UP AS UPR LOW OPENS UP INTO A
WAVE AND BECOMES ELONGATED ACROSS OH VALLEY. THERE IS SOME QUESTION
AS TO HOW UNSTABLE THE ATMOSPHERE GETS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY. NOT CONFIDENT ON AMNT OF SUNSHINE..IF ANY...THE AREA WILL
SEE. CURRENTLY THERE IS AN EXPANSIVE LOW STRATUS DECK ACROSS
NORTHERN KY INTO OH. THINK AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF I77 STAND THE
BEST CHANCE AT SEEING SOME SUN.

NEVERTHELESS...MODELS AGREE ON LOW TOPPED CONVECTION FIRING ALONG
THE BOUNDARY...AFFECTING AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF I64 CORRIDOR ARND
MIDDAY. ONCE THE BOUNDARY BECOMES QUASI-STATIONARY...EXPECT SOME
AREAS COULD GET REPEATED HITS THRU THE AFTN. FURTHER SOUTH AND WEST
BEHIND THE BOUNDARY...COVERAGE WILL BE MORE SCT IN NATURE AMID SOME
MID LEVEL DRYING. HOWEVER...CORFIDI VECTORS SUGGEST A W-E TRAINING
SCENARIO FOR ANYTHING THAT FIRES. PW REMAIN ON THE LOW
SIDE...HANGING ARND 1 INCH TO 1.25 INCHES. EXPECT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE SHOULD OVERCOME THAT TO SOME EXTENT AIDING IN
MORE EFFICIENT PCPN PRODUCERS. NOT LOOKING AT MUCH OF SVR THREAT
WITH LOW EL AND LACK OF ANY SUBSTANTIAL CAPE. WATER LOOKS TO BE
MAIN THREAT.

CONSIDERING THE LOW FFG OVER MUCH OF THE CWA AND THE THREAT FOR
TRAINING OF CONVECTION...DECIDED TO ADD REMAINDER OF CWA IN THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT FAR NORTHERN TIER
COUNTIES INCLUDING PKB TO CKB AND EKN COULD ESCAPE UNHARMED AS
MODELS TRY TO KEEP BOUNDARY JUST SOUTH OF THESE AREAS.

INHERITED POPS FOR TODAY LOOKED GOOD REGARDING PLACEMENT AND
ORIENTATION...WITH CAT POPS ALONG BOUNDARY THIS AFTN.

THINGS SHOULD QUIET DOWN TONIGHT WITH LOSS OF INSOLATION AND ANY
INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...KEPT CHC POPS IN MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTH
NEAR THE FRONT FOR SCT SHRA.

BLENDED IN INHERITED TEMPS WITH TIGHTLY CLUSTERED GUIDANCE. THINK
AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF I64 COULD TOP OUT AT 70F ONCE AGAIN TODAY.
ACROSS THE NORTH FROM PKB TO CKB AND EKN...WILL PROBABLY STAY ON THE
COOL SIDE OF BOUNDARY WITH TEMPS STAYING IN MID 60S. LOOKING AT
COOLER AIR FILTERING IN FROM NORTH TOMORROW NIGHT WITH NORTHERN
AREAS DROPPING BACK INTO UPR 40S...WITH LWR 50S SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE EASTWARD ON WEDNESDAY...BUT MODELS SHOW
PLENTY OF LINGERING MOISTURE TO CREATE AFTERNOON INSTABILITY
SHOWERS. THEREFORE WILL INCREASE AFTERNOON POPS SOME. MODELS THEN
DIFFER A BIT IN THE TIMING OF MOISTURE EXITING OUT OF THE REGION.
MODELS HAVE REVERSED WITH NAM NOW QUICKER THAN THE GFS. WILL RUN A
COMPROMISE TIMING BETWEEN THE MODELS.

THURSDAY PROVIDES ONE DAY TO DRY OUT.

NEXT SYSTEM ARRIVES LATE THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY AS ANOTHER UPPER LOW
DROPS INTO THE AREA. CONCERNED ABOUT EXCESSIVE RAINFALL POTENTIAL
ONCE AGAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODEL GUIDANCE EXIST IN THE
EVOLUTION OF SYSTEM NEAR END OF WEEK. 06Z GFS PROGRESSES UPPER LEVEL
LOW MUCH FURTHER NORTH THAN 00Z ECMWF SOLUTION. 12Z GFS HAS 500MB
LOW TRACKING CLOSER TO THE SOUTHERLY ECMWF SOLUTION. KEPT POPS
RELATIVELY LOW FOR NOW WITH THESE INCONSISTENCIES IN MIND. THUNDER
POTENTIAL LOOKS BEST FRIDAY AS WARM FRONT SLIDES NORTHEAST ACROSS
CWA...SETTING UP LOW LEVEL WAA IN THE WARM SECTOR AND MODERATE
INSTABILITY. IN ADDITION...HEAVY RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED AT TIMES AS
SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PROVIDE A GOOD MOISTURE FEED FROM THE
GULF...WITH MODELS INDICATING PW VALUES OF 1.5 TO 1.7 INCHES
POSSIBLE. AS A RESULT...THIS SYSTEM WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR
THE POTENTIAL OF FUTURE WATER ISSUES.

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SLIDES NORTHEASTWARD SATURDAY AHEAD OF A LARGE
RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. GUIDANCE THEN HAS THE
500MB LOW TRACKING SOUTHWARD OVER THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND PHASING
TOGETHER WITH ANOTHER LOW OVER SE CONUS. THIS WOULD KEEP THE CWA IN
UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO FORECASTED TEMPS MADE WITH LATEST MEX/MAV.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
IFR CIGS ACROSS EASTERN SLOPES IN SE UPSLOPE THRU EARLY
MORNING...AFFECTING KBKW. UPR LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE NORTH THRU THE AREA THRU 12Z. ASSOCIATED SCT SHRA/TRW WILL
PRODUCE BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS NE KY/SOUTHERN WV/SW
VA/PORTIONS OF SE OH WITH ISOLATED IFR. THIS ACTIVITY WILL TEND TO
WANE OVER NEXT FEW HRS...WARRANTING LEAVING OUT OF TAF SITES.

WEAK BL WIND MAY HELP TO NEGATE WIDESPREAD FG FOR AREAS THAT
RECEIVED RAINFALL TODAY. LOW STRATUS WILL SETTLE IN ACROSS PORTIONS
OF SE OH...POSSIBLY GETTING CLOSE TO OH RVR BY DAWN. THIS WILL TEND
TO LIFT AND BREAK UP SOME DURING THE MORNING HRS. A COLD FRONT WILL
SLOWLY MOVE THRU DURING THE DAY HELPING TO SPARK OFF SHRA/TRW
BEGINNING ARND MIDDAY ACROSS SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS.

AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY...
IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT IN SHRA/TRW.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RECENT HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE PRODUCE FROM ONE TO 3
INCHES OF RAIN ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN WV/SW VA AND SE OH DURING
THE PAST 24 TO 36 HOURS. MOST SOILS ACROSS THE REGION ARE AT OR NEAR
SATURATION. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO LOWER AFTER THE
PASSAGE OF EACH HEAVY RAIN. IT WILL TAKE LESS AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL TO
CAUSE FLASH FLOODING ACROSS SATURATED AREAS. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED BY ALL MODEL GUIDANCE THROUGH TONIGHT.

THESE CONDITIONS POSE A FLASH FLOOD THREAT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.
SOUTHERN WV/SW VA/AND ALONG OH RVR ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL CONSIDERING THE HVY RAINFALL OVER THE PAST 24
HRS.
