Area forecast discussion, May 22, 3:31 PM EDT, 1 hour 26 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
331 PM EDT SUN MAY 22 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM SOUTHERLY WINDS BRING A SUMMER LIKE AIRMASS...WITH CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MONDAY. A COLD FRONT THEN SETS UP
JUST TO OUR NORTH AND WEST.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH SMALL SCALE FEATURES IN THIS AIRMASS.
FEEL THAT MODELS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON FEATURES CURRENTLY BEARING
DOWN ON THE REGION...BUT CONFIDENCE WANES CONSIDERABLY WITH TIME AS
DIFFERENCES MULTIPLY. THEREFORE...WILL TRY TO BE SPECIFIC
INITIALLY...BUT MORE GENERIC WITH TIME. FOR LOWS TONIGHT...WILL GO
ON THE WARMER SIDE OF GUIDANCE IN THE WESTERN COUNTIES WHERE WINDS
WILL PERSIST. ON MONDAY...NAM MOS HIGHS LOOK TOO COOL...BUT MAV MOS
LOOKS TO WARM. WILL RUN A COMPROMISE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH AND LAY OUT ACROSS THE OH VALLEY DURING
THE SHORT TERM...INCLUDING SE OH. THIS SHOULD CREATE A GREATER
COVERAGE OF CONVECTION ACROSS SE OH...INTO NORTHERN WV...AIDED BY
OCCASIONAL IMPULSES TRAVELING ALONG THE BOUNDARY. MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH ONE SUCH WAVE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...AFFECTING MAINLY SE OH AND NORTHERN WV. SPC CONTINUES TO
HIGHLIGHT A BROAD AREA OF SLIGHT RISK ACROSS MS AND OH VALLEYS
TUESDAY...INCLUDING AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF OH RVR IN THE CWA.
GREATEST THREAT FOR SVR SHOULD LIE ACROSS SE OH MONDAY...EXPANDING
INTO WESTERN WV TUESDAY AS FRONT CLOSES IN. BOUNDARY WILL BEGIN TO
RETREAT NORTH INTO GREAT LAKES AREA ON WEDNESDAY IN RESPONSE TO
AMPLIFYING TROF ACROSS THE PLAINS.

CONTINUE TREND OF BLENDING IN MET GUIDANCE AS MAV LOOKS TOO WARM
GIVEN EVAPOTRANSPIRATION EFFECTS. LOW TO MID 80S LOOK GOOD OUTSIDE
OF CONVECTION WITH GENERALLY LOW 60S FOR LOWS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPR RIDGE BUILDING ALONG EAST COAST LATE THIS WEEK...WILL HELP TO
STIFF ARM EFFECTS OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO WESTERN OH VALLEY. AS
SUCH...MUCH OF THE ACTION SHOULD STAY WEST OF CWA UNTIL PERHAPS LATE
FRIDAY GIVEN CONTINUED TREND OF SLOWING THINGS DOWN. CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY EXISTS GOING INTO THE WEEKEND REGARDING IF UPR LOW
REMAINS ATTACHED TO WESTERLIES OR GETS LEFT BEHIND OVER OH VALLEY.
MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH DETAILS OF PAC ENERGY ALONG WITH STRENGTH
OF RIDGE ALONG EAST COAST. TRIED TO STAY CLOSE TO HPC
SOLUTION...KEEPING HIGH CHC POPS THRU WEEKEND. SHOULD UPR RIDGE HOLD
AND BUILD...THEN HPC SOLUTION MAY BE TOO PESSIMISTIC. TEMPS WILL
REMAIN ON THE WARM SIDE...GENERALLY LOW TO MID 80S.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
REGION IS NOW IN THE WARM SECTOR SOUTH OF A WARM FRONT. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR SMALL IMPULSES AND AFTERNOON HEATING TO CREATE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THE TIMING OF THE THUNDERSTORMS BECOME INCREASINGLY
DIFFICULT THE FURTHER OUT...AS MODELS ARE STRUGGLING. BASICALLY...VFR
CAN BE EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS.
