AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1152 AM EDT MON APR 11 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
FRONT AND LOW PASSES THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. ANOTHER LOW AND
FRONTAL SYSTEM FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE...
STILL A BIT OF A CAP IN THE MID LEVELS DESPITE SOME CONVECTION
FIRING IN SOUTHEAST OHIO...AND EXPECT EROSION OF THIS CAP OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. BUSY DAY EXPECTED WITH CONVECTION AND
POTENTIAL WATER ISSUES. COAL FIELDS ARE STRUGGLING TO RECOVER FROM
PREVIOUS RAINS...AND NORTHEAST KENTUCKY AND THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY
ARE PEGGED FOR THE MOST QPF RIGHT NOW. WIND SHOULD BE THE MAIN
THREAT WITH STORMS.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE FORMING OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WILL HANG
UP THE FRONT A BIT...AND WILL NOT ALLOW FOR A CLEAN SWEEP THROUGH
THE CWA. IT WILL ALSO LIKELY KEEP THE RAIN CONCENTRATED OVER THE
AFOREMENTIONED NE KENTUCKY AND OHIO RIVER VALLEY FOR A FEW HOURS.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FROM 1.25 TO 1.50 INCHES WILL NOT HELP
THE SITUATION.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
EVOLUTION OF SYSTEM IMPACTING THE AREA THIS PERIOD WILL BE SLOWER ON
ACCOUNT OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CLOSING OFF IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM
FLOW.  RUC INDICATES THIS IS ALREADY BEGINNING TO OCCUR OVER NW TX.

THE DAY WILL START DRY AND RATHER WARM FOR AN APRIL MORNING WITH
TEMPERATURES ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOWER TERRAIN HANGING ABOVE 70
THROUGH DAWN.

LONG LINE OF CONVECTION AHEAD OF COLD FRONT DID NOT GET GOING UNTIL
AROUND 02Z LAST EVENING...OR AROUND 9 PM LOCAL TIME /CDT/.  WHAT IS
LEFT OF WHAT IS NOW A WEAKENING LINE WILL REACH WESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE AREA AROUND MIDDAY.  ELEVATED WARM LAYER EXISTS OUT AHEAD OF THE
LINE CREATING A STRONG CAP...WHICH MODELS DISPENSE WITH THIS
AFTERNOON...ALLOWING CONVECTION TO GET GOING EARLIER...COMPARED WITH
SUNDAY UPSTREAM.

GRADIENT WINDS IN WELL-MIXED AIR MASS WILL RESULT IN GUSTS
APPROACHING ADVISORY CRITERIA.  STRONG UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR AND CAPE
RISING TO 1-1.5KJ-KG-1 PER DESTABILIZATION VIA DIURNAL HEATING AND
EROSION OF CAP SHOULD RESULT IN A LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS.
WITH FREEZING LEVEL UP NEAR 14KFT...LARGE HAIL THREAT IS MINIMAL
ALTHOUGH WITH LARGE DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS...WET BULB HEIGHT IS DOWN
AROUND 10KFT.  THIS LEAVES WIND AS THE PRIMARY THREAT...ALTHOUGH
WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ROTATION.

ONCE THE MAIN LINE MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING...A MORE WIDESPREAD
RAIN WILL EVOLVE AS THE SOUTHERN STREAM UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO CLOSE
OFF...AND A SURFACE WAVE DEVELOPS ON THE COLD FRONT AS THE FRONT
MOVES E OF THE AREA.  AT THIS TIME...AM BANKING ON THE INITIAL
CONVECTIVE LINE BEING PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH...AND THE MORE GENERALIZED
RAINFALL AFTERWARD...WILL NOT QUITE BE ENOUGH TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT
WATER PROBLEMS ALTHOUGH DO HAVE 1 TO 1.5 INCHES TOTAL QPF CODED UP.
THAT WAS ARRIVED OUT BASICALLY VIA A NAM12 / HPC BLEND.  FFG VALUES
ARE 1.5 INCHES OR HIGHER IN ONE HOUR EVEN IN AREAS THAT HAVE HAD
HEAVY RAINFALL RECENTLY.

MENTIONED WATER ISSUE IN HWO TO GO ALONG WITH THE SEVERE THREAT AND
APPRISE DAY SHIFT.

RAISED HIGHS ESPECIALLY E HALF OF AREA TODAY BASED ON SLOWER
TIMING.  USED NON-DIURNAL TEMPERATURES TONIGHT TO REFLECT COLD
ADVECTION FROM THE W.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHORT TERM PERIOD STARTS OUT UNSETTLED AS LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO
AFFECT THE AREA. COLD FRONT WILL BE TO THE EAST OF THE CWA AT THE
START OF THE PERIOD...BUT A CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL FORM IN THE BASE
OF THE SOUTHERN STREAM TROUGH...AND AFFECT THE REGION THROUGH AT
LEAST WED...KEEPING THE WEATHER COOLER AND UNSETTLED. BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT...TEMPERATURES WILL BE FALLING THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON
TUESDAY AS CAA TAKES PLACE...WITH ENOUGH COLD AIR MOVING IN TUESDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING FOR A RAIN/SNOW MIX TO FORM TUESDAY NIGHT ABOVE
2000 FEET...AND FOR SNOW TO FORM ABOVE 3500 FEET. LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAIN
ZONES.

UPPER LOW WILL LIFT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST TUESDAY NIGHT WITH JUST A
FEW UPSLOPE SHOWERS LINGERING INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL THEN BUILD IN BEHIND THE EXITING LOW FOR GRADUAL CLEARING
CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. THERE ARE SOME TIMING
AND TRACK DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THIS
LOW OUT OF THE REGION...AND AS A RESULT...ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NEEDED
TO FORECAST TIMING IN THE FUTURE. TEMPS WILL GRADUALLY WARM AS THE
WEEK PROGRESSES...AS HIGH PRESSURE SURFACE AND ALOFT IS ABLE TO
BUILD IN. ANOTHER SYSTEM IS PROGGED FOR LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
USED HPC GUIDANCE FOR THE MOST PART WITH EXTENDED MODELS GENERALLY
IN LINE ON SYSTEM PASSAGE OVER THE WEEKEND. SOME SNOW CHANCE IN
MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT WITH 850 ZERO SOUTH OF
REGION. WITH SVR WX THIS AFTERNOON GETTING LONG RANGE OUT BY EARLY
AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR TO START.  KEKN VSBY SENSOR WILL NEED LOOKED AT FOR SUSPICIOUS
MVFR VALUES DURING THE DAY.

SW FLOW INCREASES TODAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE W...WITH
GUSTS OF 30-35 KT EVEN OUTSIDE THUNDERSTORMS.  IT APPEARS EASTWARD
PROGRESS OF FRONT WILL BE SLOWED ON ACCOUNT OF A WAVE FORMING ALONG
IT.  THEREFORE HAVE THE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION AND ASSOCIATED MVFR
CONDITIONS NOT STARTING UNTIL LATER TODAY.  WHEN THUNDERSTORMS DO
ARRIVE...WIND GUSTS OF 40-50 KTS OR EVEN HIGHER ARE POSSIBLE.  IFR
OR WORSE CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR UNDERNEATH HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS...AND
WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD TONIGHT AS A MORE WIDESPREAD
RAIN FOLLOWS WHAT WILL LIKELY BE A SQUALL LINE.

LIGHT SW FLOW AT THE SURFACE AND STRONG SW FLOW ALOFT EARLY THIS
MORNING WILL LIKELY GIVE RISE TO LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR.  MIXING WILL
RELAX THIS SHEAR THIS MORNING BUT THE FLOW WILL REMAIN STRONG...AND
GUSTY AT THE SURFACE.  LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE FLOW SFC AND
ALOFT WILL SWITCH TO NW AND DIMINISH A BIT FROM W TO E AS THE WAVY
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF THUNDERSTORM LINE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING MAY DIFFER FROM CURRENT FORECAST...AS MAY ONSET AND DEGREE
OF IFR OR WORSE CONDITIONS TONIGHT.
