AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
711 PM EDT WED APR 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG COLD FRONT PASSES BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND DAWN THURSDAY.
COOLER/DRIER AIR ARRIVES ON THURSDAY. WELCOME HIGH PRESSURE
FRIDAY TO START THE WEEKEND DRY. DRIER PATTERN NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UPDATE...
WATCHING THE DYNAMICS SLOWLY BEGIN TO INCREASE AS THE SYNOPTIC
SCALE SYSTEM APPROACHES.

CURRENTLY HAVE STRATIFORM RAIN SHIELD MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE...WITH A LITTLE BIT OF EMBEDDED
THUNDER. STILL HAVE SOME CAP IN PLACE...WHICH IS WHY WE DID NOT
FIRE EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON. BUT WATCHING THE 0-1KM STORM
RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES OFF TO THE SOUTHWEST AND SHOULD SEE SOME
ADVECTION OF THIS HIGHER SHEAR ENVIRONMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. FIGURE THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL BE BUSY.

HAVE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS POPPING IN THE NORTHERN CWA...WITH SOME
DECENT GUSTS. WITH SOME DRIER AIR AT THE SURFACE AND DEWPOINTS IN
THE 50S...INVERTED V TYPE SOUNDINGS EXIST HERE. THESE PARTICULAR
CELLS ARE UP AND DOWN VERY QUICKLY.

WILL BE KEEPING A SHARP EYE ON THE SEVERE PARAMETERS OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS. NOW ON TO THE TAFS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
STILL LIKE WHAT WE SAID LATE THIS MORNING...SO FAR SO GOOD.
HOWEVER...WANT TO ADD...CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET.

THE HIGHER DEW POINTS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS DID
HELP FORM MORE CONVECTION IN NC AND VA.  FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING...STILL ON THE WEAK SIDE OF THE APPROACHING CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX RACING NORTHEAST INTO THE TRI STATE AROUND HTS. SW VIRGINIA
AND SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA A BIT MORE FAVORABLE FOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT WITH THAT ONE COMPLEX INTO EARLY THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER...THE BEST INFLOW TO THIS COMPLEX WILL REMAINS FURTHER TO
OUR SOUTH.

LATER TONIGHT...STRONG DYNAMIC/SYNOPTIC SUPPORT STILL SWINGS THROUGH
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FRONT...AS THE LOW PRESSURE WAVE RACES TOWARD
LAKE ERIE BY 12Z THU.  I EVEN PICTURE ANOTHER ENHANCEMENT OF THE
SYNOPTIC WIND GUSTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FRONT. HAVE GUSTS OF 30 TO
35 KNOTS WITH THAT. HAVE THE FRONT REACHING OHIO RIVER COUNTIES
AROUND 06Z AND PASSING THE MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES BY 10Z.

TRIED TO HAVE THE LOWER CLOUDS AND LIGHTER SHOWERS LINGER A BIT
LONGER OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES THURSDAY MORNING.  HOWEVER...
IN THE FAST FLOW...WAS QUICK TO DROP THE POPS OVER OUR SW LOWLANDS.

HAVE TEMPERATURES RECOVERING JUST A FEW DEGREES IN THE COOLER AND
FRESHER AIR DURING THE 18Z TO 20Z TIME FRAME ON THURSDAY...WITH DEW
POINTS FALLING INTO THE 40S.

CONTINUED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH...ADDED A FEW WET MOUNTAIN COUNTIES
IN OUR CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...SINCE THE THREAT ABOUT THE SAME AS FURTHER
W.  AS INCLUDED IN THE WATCH...FIGURING RAIN AMOUNTS OF 1.5 OR
HIGHER WOULD BE A PROBLEM.  WILL ALSO NEED TO MONITOR
RIVERS...PARTICULARLY THE MUSKINGUM...HOCKING...LITTLE SANDY IN THE
WAKE OF THAT RAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
NOT SURE HOW MUCH CONFIDENCE TO ATTACH TO NAM12 SUGGESTION OF
ANOTHER LINE OF SHOWERS DEVELOPING JUST UPSTREAM OF THE PERIOD RIGHT
AT THE START OF THE PERIOD...AND THEN TRAVERSING THE AREA OVERNIGHT
THU NT.  THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH TRAILING UPPER LEVEL S/W TROF AXIS
WITHIN THE LONG WAVE TROUGH THAT SHIFTS FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE
COUNTRY TO THE E COAST THROUGH FRI.  IT ACTUALLY BECOMES NEARLY
UNSTABLE IN A NARROW AXIS JUST AHEAD OF THIS UPPER LEVEL FEATURE IN
RESPONSE TO THE COOLING ALOFT.

ONCE THAT LAST FEATURE MOVES THROUGH...THE WEATHER BREAKS FOR A
WELCOME REPRIEVE COURTESY OF HIGH PRESSURE CROSSING LATE FRI AND FRI
NT.  ADDED SOME CLOUD FOR THE MOUNTAINS FRI FOR CU IN THE MOIST
CYCLONIC FLOW AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE EXITING SFC LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM.

AFTER A NICE START TO THE WEEKEND IN LIGHT S FLOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE SLOWLY EXITING HIGH...THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES SAT NT IN THE
FORM OF WARM ADVECTION.  SLOWED THE ONSET OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS...THE LATTER MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL SUN.

THE AIR MASS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGH WILL BE DRIER AND COOLER...AND
LIKED THE LOWER MAV AS OPPOSED TO THE MET FOR HIGHS FRI...WHICH WAS
ALSO MADE FOR GOOD CONTINUITY.  LOWER 80S OFF THE MEX SEEMED HIGH
SAT GIVEN JUST 9 OR 10C AT H85.  MADE MINOR CHANGES ONLY TO LOWS THU
NT AND FRI NT...BUT LOWERED SAT NT A BIT WITH SLOWER ONSET OF NEXT
SYSTEM.  CONSENSUS MOS WITH EXTRA WEIGHT FOR MAV SEEMED TO DO THE
TRICK IN MOST CASES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
GENERALLY USED HPC GUIDANCE WITH SOME TWEAKS. REGION WILL BEGIN THE
PERIOD IN THE WARM SECTOR.  A COLD FRONT THEN PUSHES EAST ON
MONDAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE NOSING IN BY WEDNESDAY.  AN UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM SHOULD RESULT IN THE PRECIPITATION HANGING ON BEHIND THE
FRONT THROUGH TUESDAY.

ONLY MAJOR CHANGES ARE FOR POPS LATER MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
WITH HIGH PRESSURE NOSING IN...FELT POPS WOULD BE LOWER AND FORECAST
WAS CHANGED TO REFLECT THIS TREND.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
STRONG LOW LEVEL FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE WITH A POWERFUL LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF TO THE WEST. THIS FLOW WILL LIKELY INCREASE
INTO THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. EXPECTING A COLD FRONT
PASSAGE OVERNIGHT.

STRATIFORM RAIN SHIELD PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA WILL BRING MVFR
CEILINGS AT TIMES. OTHERWISE...WITH CONVECTION...OBSERVATIONS ARE
LIKELY TO BOUNCE WITH IFR POSSIBLE AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY IN
THUNDERSTORMS. WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED WITH STORMS AS
WELL...POSSIBLY PUSHING SEVERE LIMITS.

TORNADO WATCH IN PLACE INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT PERIOD...SO WILL
BE WATCHING CONVECTION CLOSELY TONIGHT.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: EXACT TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS 00Z TO 06Z CONTINUE TO DEPEND ON EVOLUTION OF
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST.  SO TIMING THE
HEAVIEST SHOWERS STILL REMAINS QUESTIONABLE.

THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA...AND WILL
CAUSE WATER TO POND ON ROADS AND QUICKLY FILL ROADSIDE DITCHES AND
SMALL STREAMS.

IN HILLY TERRAIN THERE ARE MANY LOW WATER CROSSINGS WHICH ARE
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY RAIN. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL ACROSS
FLOODED ROADS. FIND ALTERNATE ROUTES. IT TAKES ONLY A FEW INCHES OF
SWIFTLY FLOWING WATER TO CARRY VEHICLES AWAY.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS PARTICULARLY HAZARDOUS DURING HEAVY
RAIN...BECAUSE IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SEE WATER CROSSING THE ROAD.
