What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 10, 2:44 PM EDT, 3 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 10, 2:44 PM EDT, 3 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
244 PM EDT TUE MAY 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
EAST OF FRONT DEW POINTS AND INSTABILITY INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THIS EVENING.  THIS COMBINED WITH UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS KEEP THE
THREAT OF STORM TSTMS INTO THE EVENING.  WINDS THE PRIMARY ISSUE.
POPS LOWER TONIGHT AS SUNS ENERGY REMOVED.  SIMILAR PATTERN SETS UP
FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON EXCEPT THE PRESENCE OF STRONG DYNAMICS WILL
BE LESSENED.  AS A RESULT HAVE GONE WITH CHANCE POPS THEN.  KEPT
CLOSE TO GUIDANCE TEMPS RAISING MINS A BIT TONIGHT WITH HIGH DEW
POINTS AND CLOUD REMNANTS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FOCUS OF NEW MODEL RUNS CONTINUES TO BE OVER THE SW PORTION OF
FORECAST AREA. MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO HOURLY POP FORECAST
BUT KEPT THE SAME PATTERN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
QUASI-STATIONARY COLD FRONT REMAINS TO OUR SOUTHWEST AS WEAK WAVES
RIPPLE THROUGH BAROCLINIC ZONE THROUGH THE PERIOD. EXPECT SHOWER
DEVELOPMENT TO CONTINUE ALONG THE BOUNDARY...WITH DIURNAL
ENHANCEMENT. MODELS EACH HAVE THEIR OWN TAKE ON HOW THEY HANDLE
FRONT JUXTAPOSITION OF THE FRONT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
HOWEVER...WHETHER FRONT WAGGLES NORTH OR SOUTH NEAR OUR FORECAST
AREA WILL PRIMARILY BE DRIVEN BY MESOSCALE PROCESS WHICH MODELS
MAY NOT BE HANDLING ALL THAT WELL. SO..BEST FORECAST APPROACH WAS
TO KEEP CHC POPS TRENDING HIGHER DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH
HIGHER CHANCES IN VICINITY OF THE FRONT.

FOR TEMPS...USED RAW CONSENSUS MOS VALUES WITH A FEW TWEAKS...
WHICH RESULTED IN LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS FCSTED VALUES. MAIN
TWEAKS WERE TO KEEP OVERNIGHT MINS ON THE WARM SIDE OF MOS
VALUES...DUE TO THE LACK OF RADIATIONAL COOLING...AS RAGGED
SKIES DURING THE MORNING HOURS SHOULD HELP KEEP MORNING LOWS FROM
DIPPING MUCH. THIS TREND WAS ALSO FEATURED IN THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST PACKAGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
OVERALL PATTERN SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE. HOWEVER...MODELS DO PUSH
FRONTAL BOUNDARY EAST OF THE AREA BY SATURDAY MORNING AS AN AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE WORKS ITS WAY TO THE EAST. THE ECMWF CONTS TO BE
THE SLOWER OF THE MODELS IN PUSHING LOW PRESSURE AREA TO THE
EAST...AND BASED ON THE STAGNANT NATURE OF THE WX PATTERN...THE
MODEL OF CHOICE IS THE ECMWF IN HOW IT HANDLES OVERALL SYNOPTIC
PATTERN. USED HPC VALUES WITH MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO POPULATE
GRIDDED FCST.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS OVER SW PORTION OF FORECAST AREA INTO THIS
EVENING WITH STRONG GUSTS MOST LIKELY THE GREATEST THREAT.  CLOUD
BASES EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 3000 FT EXCEPT MVFR IN THE CLOSE
VICINITY TO STORMS.  CLOUD REMNANTS EXPECTED TONIGHT SO HAVE
MINIMIZED FOG THREAT TO MVFR IN RIVER VALLEYS WITH SOME IFR TOWARDS
DAWN OVER SOUTHERN PORTION OF FORECAST AREA WHERE MOST PRECIPITATION
WILL OCCUR.  EVERYTHING IMPROVING TO VFR WEDNESDAY MORNING.
