NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
750 PM EDT SUN MAY 2 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP MOISTURE AND AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT PRODUCING HEAVY SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. DRIER AIR QUICKLY REACHES US ON MONDAY.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT FOR FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT BEGINNING TO WANE...IN FAVOR OF CONTINUING AND
WORSENING HYDROLOGY SITUATION. AS OF 7PM...SOUTHERN OHIO
COUNTIES...AND NORTHEAST KENTUCKY...HAVE RECEIVED 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH
LOCALLY 5 INCHES RAINFALL /ESPECIALLY WESTERN CARTER KY/.
UNFORTUNATELY...STILL LOOKING AT SEVERAL HOURS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN IN THE SAME AREA...AWAITING UPSTREAM WAVE TO FINALLY KICK THE
PARKED FRONT EASTWARD. FLOOD WARNINGS AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE
BEEN ISSUED FOR THE MOST PROBLEMATIC AREAS...WITH NUMEROUS ROAD
CLOSURES AND CREEKS OUT OF BANKS ALREADY. EASILY ANOTHER INCH OR
MORE OF RAIN EXPECTED FOR THOSE SPOTS.

FARTHER EAST OF THAT HEAVY RAINFALL AXIS...STILL A POTENTIAL FLOOD
THREAT...BUT THE MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL BE MOVING EAST WITH THE
FRONT 05Z-11Z. SO WHILE LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY OCCUR IN WV/SW
VA...COURTESY OF 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN...PROBLEMS WILL NOT BE AS
DRAMATIC AS NE KY/SE OH.

AREAL AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING IS UNDERWAY...BUT THERE IS SOME
CONCERN ABOUT THE LARGER STEM RIVERS AS WELL AS THE RESPONSE
CONTINUES OVERNIGHT AND INTO MONDAY MORNING. THE LITTLE SANDY AND
HOCKING APPEAR ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO RIVER FLOODING. THE RIVER
FORECASTS ARE BEING UPDATED BASED ON THE LATEST RAINFALL ESTIMATES
AND EXPECTATIONS...AND WARNINGS MAY BE ISSUED AS NEEDED FOR THE
IMPACTED RIVERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
MODELS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT MAIN WAVE RIPPLING ALONG FRONT
WILL LIFT INTO PENNSYLVANIA BY 12Z MONDAY...ALLOWING FRONT TO SWEEP
RAPIDLY EAST ACROSS OUR AREA MONDAY MORNING. THUS...RAINFALL WILL BE
RAPIDLY DECREASING AND ENDING MOST AREAS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.
RAINFALL MONDAY WILL BE MAINLY IN THE EAST AND MAXIMIZE AROUND A
QUARTER OF AN INCH. OTHERWISE...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR
MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH CLOUDS BREAKING.

MODELS ALSO AGREE A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL RIDE EASTWARD ACROSS
THE NORTHERN OHIO VALLEY...WITH LITTLE SURFACE REFLECTION.
STILL...ENOUGH UPPER DYNAMICS AND MARGINAL MOISTURE TO INCLUDE LOW
POPS UP NORTH LATER MONDAY NIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY FOR LIGHT RAIN
SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE THEN TAKES CONTROL FOR WEDNESDAY WITH DRY AND
MILD CONDITIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
USED THE ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN AS THE BASIS FOR THE FORECAST. THIS
WOULD BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. BEHIND THE
FRONT...DRY AND COOLER WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED. TOO EARLY TO
DETERMINE AT THIS RANGE...BUT CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME FROST NEXT
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HEAVY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDER FOR ESPECIALLY THE OHIO VALLEY AREA
INITIALLY THIS EVENING BEFORE HEADING EAST ACROSS THE REST OF THE
AREA. ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT FINALLY MOVES WEST TO EAST 04Z-10Z.
WIDESPREAD MVFR AND OCCASIONAL IFR CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THIS BAND.
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND FRONT 09Z-13Z...VEERING UPSLOPE
NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY WIND MAY PRODUCE LOW STRATUS AGAINST THE
MOUNTAINS...SUCH AS KBKW AREA. DURING THE DAY MONDAY...WE QUICKLY
