AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
632 AM EST WED NOV 23 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
FLOOD THREAT ON STREAMS THROUGH TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE LIFTS UP
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY THIS EVENING. COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH
OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRY WEATHER FOR THANKSGIVING.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE CWA THIS MORNING...USHERING GUSTY WINDS
WITH DECENT CAA. ACTIVE BAND OF CONVECTION HAS FIRED ALONG A LINE OF
LIFT AND INSTABILITY RIGHT ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WHICH HAS A
WELL DEFINED RADAR SIGNATURE. FRONT IS MOVING ALONG AT ABOUT 25 TO
30 KTS AND SHOULD EXIT THE EASTERN CWA BY ABOUT 11Z.
COOL POOL 85H THERMAL TROUGH LINGERS BEHIND OVER THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS TODAY WHERE UPSLOPE FLOW KICKS IN ON BACKSIDE OF THE MAIN
UPPER LOW SYSTEM.
AFTER A BRIEF LET UP THIS MORNING...REINTRODUCED INCREASED POPS FOR
THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS. WITH CAA AND CLOUDS IN
PLACE...MAX TEMPS WILL BE DOWN FROM YESTERDAYS HIGH AND HAVE TRENDED
ON THE COOLER SIDE OF MOS. WILL CONTINUE FFA THROUGH THE MORNING
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON RATHER STRONG UPPER RIDGE AND SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING OUR WEATHER THURSDAY THROUGH THE DAY
SATURDAY. SURFACE HIGH CENTER SETS UP OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.
COASTAL STATES BY FRIDAY. THIS ALLOWS A SOUTHERLY FLOW...STILL QUITE
DRY WITH SUBSIDENCE...TO SET UP A DAYTIME WARMING TREND UNDER PLENTY
OF SUNSHINE. LOOK FOR A LARGE DIURNAL RANGE IN TEMPERATURES WITH
NEAR NORMAL LOWS BUT ABOVE NORMAL HIGHS INTO THE 60S.
NEXT SYSTEM PROGGED BY THE MODELS WOULD BE A DEEP UPPER TROUGH THAT
CLOSES OFF INTO A SIGNIFICANT UPPER LOW OVER THE MISSISSIPPI/OHIO
VALLEYS JUST AFTER THIS PERIOD. THE MEDIUM RANGE ENSEMBLE MODEL
TREND ON THIS SYSTEM IS TO CLOSE OFF THE UPPER LOW CLOSE ENOUGH TO
OUR AREA FOR SHOWERS TO REACH US LATER SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS WOULD
FALL INTO THE GFS THINKING RATHER THAN THE FARTHER WESTWARD POSITION
OF THE ECMWF.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE TO START THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH DRY WEATHER AND
ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION ON SUNDAY...SPREADING PRECIPITATION INTO
THE AREA ONCE AGAIN. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IN THE LONG TERM REMAINS
LOW...AND THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE PREFERRED OVER THE ECMWF DUE TO
ITS RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY. REGARDLESS...DEEP TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE REGION ON
SUNDAY...BEFORE A CUT OFF LOW FORMS OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL U.S...AND
SWIRLS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH THE LOW TO
THE SOUTH EARLY ON...MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE CWA SHOULD
BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN...BUT BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS CENTER OF
LOW CONTINUES TO TREK TO THE NORTH...AND ADDITIONAL ENERGY DIGGING
SOUTH ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW BRINGS A REINFORCING SHOT OF
COLDER AIR INTO THE AREA...MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL TURN TO
SNOW OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR A PERIOD TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. TOO
EARLY TO PREDICT ANY ACCUMULATIONS...AND WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES IN
THE DAYS AHEAD OF ANY SNOWFALL...EXPECTING AT THIS POINT LITTLE TO
NO ACCUMULATIONS IN THE LOWLANDS. LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS MAY BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CAA IN FULL SWING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH BRISK WESTERLY
FLOW. STRATUS DECK WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AS POST FRONTAL TROUGH
WORKS SE ACROSS THE OH RIVER VALLEY LEADING TO MOSTLY MVFR DECK...
WITH ISOLD IFR CONDITIONS OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS.
GRADUAL CLEARING TO TAKE PLACE LATER ABOUT MIDWAY THROUGH THE
PD...WITH WEAKENING GRADIENTS.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM TO HIGH.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS:TIMING OF SHOWERS AND GUSTY WIND ONSET COULD
