Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 1:10 AM EDT, 3 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
110 AM EDT THU JUN 3 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
FRONT MEANDERS OVERNIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH BATCHES OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. LINGERING SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE NORTH
FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM STRONG CONVECTION HAS RUN OUT WELL AHEAD OF
THE LINE...WHICH HAS NOW WEAKENED TO ONLY SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDER. HOWEVER...IMMEDIATELY BEHIND IT...NEW CONVECTION IS ALREADY
DEVELOPING IN CENTRAL OHIO ALONG THE ACTUAL WEAK SURFACE FRONT. THIS
IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF WHAT WILL BE A PERIOD WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORM BATCHES WITH EACH DISTURBANCE THAT RUNS THROUGH A BUSY
WESTERLY FLOW...ALONG THE MEANDERING SURFACE FRONT. BASED ON LATEST
MODELS...I WENT AHEAD AND FURTHER BUMPED POPS INTO THE 60-70 PCNT
RANGE FOR MOST OF THE AREA THURSDAY...THOUGH THE SPECIFICS WILL VERY
MUCH BE DICTATED BY MESOSCALE INFLUENCES. THERE IS CONCERN THAT
IF THE FRONTAL AXIS REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY...AND TRAINING
CONVECTION CAN DEVELOP...WATER PROBLEMS COULD RESULT.

HIGH DEWPOINTS OVERNIGHT WILL LET VALLEY FOG DEVELOP FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA...DESPITE AMOUNT OF CLOUDS. LOW TEMPERATURES SHOULD END UP ON
THE HIGH SIDE OF GUIDANCE. WARM AND HUMID DAY THURSDAY...WITH
BLENDED GUIDANCE NUMBERS FOR HIGHS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VARIES BY
MODEL...BUT LOOKS TO BE AROUND AN INCH AND THREE QUARTERS ALONG THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...SO FAIRLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH
THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP. STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THURSDAY...WITH WIND AS A PRIMARY CONCERN BECAUSE OF THE BRISK FLOW
ALOFT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...UNSETTLED
WEATHER CONTINUES TO REMAIN IN THE SHORT TERM...WITH CONTINUED RUN
TO RUN INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE MODELS. COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
STALL OUT OVER REGION THURSDAY NIGHT...BEFORE MOVING NORTH ON FRIDAY
AS A WARM FRONT AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS TO APPROACH
THE REGION. WITH THE WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS...AND MODELS CONTINUING
TO INDICATE PW VALUES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IN THE 1.6 TO 1.8 INCH
RANGE...SO ANY STORMS THAT DO OCCUR WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
HEAVY DOWNPOURS. ON SATURDAY...ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE REGION...KEEPING THE
THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING. YET ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM IS PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH LATE IN THE PERIOD...FOR CONTINUED
UNSETTLED WEATHER.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
DECIDED TO BASE THE EXTENDED FORECAST ON AN EVEN MIXTURE OF THE GFS
AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS...WITH THE GFS HAVING A MORE PROGRESSIVE
SOLUTION...WHILE THE ECMWF FORECAST IS A LITTLE SLOW.  THERE IS A
RELATIVELY DECENT AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST DUE
TO THE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS...HAVE THEREFORE
KEPT POPS AT OR BELOW THE HIGH CHANCE RANGE.

THAT BEING SAID...THE COLD FRONT WILL STILL BE SLOWLY PASSING
THROUGH OUR AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND PROVIDE THE FORCING NECESSARY
FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA.  THE RAIN WILL
LINGER OVER THE EASTERN HIGHER TERRAIN MONDAY MORNING...AND DIURNAL
THUNDERSTORMS MAY ALSO FORM OVER THE EASTERN HIGH TERRAIN MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE AREA WILL DRY OUT BEGINNING TUESDAY AS THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE
DRIES OUT AND A SURFACE HIGH TAKES UP RESIDENCE OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION. RAIN WILL RETURN LATE THURSDAY MORNING AS AN UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE DRIFTS THROUGH FROM THE WEST AND INTERACTS WITH THE
REESTABLISHED GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE FEED.

TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD WILL REMAIN NEAR THE SEASONAL
AVERAGE.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF IFR AND GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED THIS
EVENING. THE LINE WILL CARRY THROUGH SOUTHEAST OHIO
01Z-03Z...THROUGH CENTRAL TO NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA 03Z-06Z. BEHIND
THAT LINE...PARTIAL CLEARING ALONG WITH ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
SHOULD YIELD VALLEY MVFR TO IFR FOG FOR MUCH OF THE AREA...INCLUDING
POTENTIAL FOR VERY LOW CIGS IN SOME SPOTS 09Z-12Z. NEW CLUSTERS OF
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN DURING THE DAY
THURSDAY...WITH ASSOCIATED BRIEF IFR.

AFTER 00Z FRIDAY...
BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

&&
