Area forecast discussion, Aug 5, 2:32 PM EDT, 1 hour before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 232 PM EDT THU AUG 5 2010 .SYNOPSIS... COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRY AND COOLER AIR WILL FOLLOW FOR FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... NASTY PREFRONTAL QLCS CONTINUES TO RACE EASTWARD ACROSS KANAWHA VALLEY. WITH AMOUNT OF SUN EARLIER ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AREAS...DESTABILIZATION OCCURRED RAPIDLY...HELPING THE LONGEVITY OF THIS QLCS. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF TREES DOWN IN ITS WAKE...WITH SEVERAL RECORDED GUSTS BETWEEN 45 AND 65MPH. HAVE QLCS MAINTAINING ITS INTENSITY GIVEN AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AHEAD OF IT. NORTHERN END LOOKS TO ROLL THRU EKN BETWEEN 1930 AND 20Z...WITH DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE. EXPECT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT INTO AFTN HRS HEADING SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN MNTS AND SW VA...WHERE LCL HI RES MODELS SHOW AREA OF DEFORMATION INTERACTING WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. ONE SUCH BOUNDARY CROSSING KANAWHA VALLEY ATTM AND THIS COULD SERVE AS ADDITIONAL FOCUS FOR CONVECTION AS IT MOVES SE INTO AFTN HRS. REWORKED POPS TO INSERT CAT POPS JUST AHEAD OF FRONT AND WHERE QLCS IS EXPECTED TO TRACK INTO AFTN HRS. COLD FRONT AS OF 18Z LOCATED ON DOORSTEP OF CWA IN SE OH. COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THRU THIS EVENING...AND EXIT SW VA BY SUNRISE FRIDAY. SOME LOW STRATUS COULD DEVELOP ALONG MTNS TONIGHT AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE GETS TRAPPED BELOW INVERSION. ANY STRATUS FORMATION COULD WREAK HAVOC ON FG FORMATION. BELIEVE AREAS CLOSER TO OH RVR AND SE OH STAND THE BEST CHANCE OF RECEIVING IFR FG BY MORNING. WILL GO AHEAD AND CHOP OFF SE OH AND NORTHERN WV FROM FLASH FLOOD WATCH. SVR WATCH 547 WILL ALSO BE TRIMMED DOWN SHORTLY. FG AND ANY STRATUS WILL LIFT BY 14Z...MAYBE HANGING ON TILL 15Z ACROSS THE MTNS BEFORE MIXING OUT. SFC HIGH BUILDS IN FROM NORTH FRIDAY...WITH ONLY SOME 4KFT CU EXPECTED...MOST ABUNDANT ACROSS THE SOUTH. ROLLED CLOSE TO INHERITED TEMPS FOR TONIGHT WHICH KEEPS THINGS MUGGY ACROSS SOUTH.

THE WEEKEND IS LOOKING VERY PLEASANT ATTM WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE MOVING EASTWARD TOWARD OUR AREA AND SURFACE PRESSURE TAKING UP RESIDENCE IN OUR AREA.

EXPECTING DAYTIME MAX TEMPS IN THE LOWLANDS TO REACH INTO THE MID 80S ON SATURDAY AND INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S ON SUNDAY...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. KEPT THE MAX AND MIN TEMPS NEAR GUIDANCE ALLOWING FOR EXTRA COOLING AT NIGHT AND WARMING DURING THE DAY WITH THE RELATIVELY CLEAR SKIES. && LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN LEADING TO A MOSTLY DRY AND HOT LONG TERM FORECAST. WENT WITH AN EVEN MIXTURE OF THE ECMWF AND GFS THROUGH MONDAY...BUT THEN RELIED HEAVILY ON THE ECMWF FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE TWO MODELS HAD REASONABLE AGREEMENT THROUGH MONDAY BUT THEN THEIR SOLUTIONS DIVERGED SIGNIFICANTLY BEGINNING WITH DAY 5. DECIDED TO STICK WITH THE ECMWF DUE TO HPCS CONFIDENCE IN ITS SOLUTION AND DUE TO THE MODELS CONSISTENCY. THAT BEING SAID...EXPECTING DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING. A WEAKENING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO OUR AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING BRINGING A FEW SHOWERS INTO OUR AREA. ONLY HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR RAIN AND STORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY DUE TO MODEL DISAGREEMENTS ABOUT THE COLD FRONTS POSITION AND WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL MAKE IT INTO OUR CWA. ANOTHER SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN AND STORMS COMES THURSDAY EVENING IN THE EASTERN HIGH TERRAIN. A MORE WIDESPREAD CHANCE OF RAIN WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BUT HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO AS IT IS VERY LATE IN THE PERIOD. FOR TEMPERATURES WENT WITH HPC GUIDANCE AS A BASE AND TWEAKED THE TEMPS DOWN ACCORDINGLY...AS THE MAX AND MINS SEEMED RELATIVELY HIGH ACROSS THE BOARD. DAYTIME MAX TEMPS FROM HPC WERE ESPECIALLY WARM...LOWERED THEM CONSIDERABLY BUT STILL ANTICIPATING DAYTIME MAX TEMPS CLOSE TO OR EXCEEDING 90 DEGREES IN THE LOWLANDS THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED. && .AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... 18Z THURSDAY THRU 18Z FRIDAY... QLCS MOVING THRU KANAWHA VALLEY AS OF 18Z. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 60MPH POSSIBLE AS KRLX HAS JUST EXPERIENCED. KEKN MAY BE IN LINE BY 1930Z FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGING WINDS.

HAVE IFR CEILINGS FOR KEKN LATE TONIGHT. ANY STRATUS FORMATION COULD WREAK HAVOC ON FG FORMATION. BELIEVE AREAS CLOSER TO OH RVR AND SE OH STAND THE BEST CHANCE OF RECEIVING IFR FG BY MORNING.
