Area forecast discussion, Jul 4, 11:00 AM EDT, 2 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1100 AM EDT MON JUL 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HUMID WITH FRONT AND ASSOCIATED CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS...REMAIN
IN VICINITY INTO TONIGHT...THEN MAINLY SOUTH TUESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. NEXT FRONT PASSES THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
FRONT STILL FROM NEAR PIT-CMH-DAY-IND...IN NO HURRY MOVING SOUTH.

TALE OF 2 REGIMES...FIGURING NORTHERN COUNTIES CLOSER TO THE
FRONT...AND HAVE THE 500 MB SUPPORT WITH VORT MAX MOVG EAST THRU 21Z
TO 00Z TUESDAY.  ALSO...A BIT MORE SHEAR IN WINDS ALOFT.
HOWEVER...FIGURING ON LESS SUNSHINE AND LESS SURFACE DRIVEN CAPE.

MEANWHILE...FURTHER SOUTH...INSTABILITY DRIVEN BY SURFACE BASED
CAPE.  NEW CELLS COULD EVEN DEVELOP AHEAD...EAST...OF THE COMPLEX
MOVING INTO SOUTHEASTERN KY AT 15Z.  EQUILIBRIUM LEVEL 35 TO 40 THSD
FT...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER NEARING 2 INCHES.  SO ANY CELL CAN HAVE
HIGH DBZ RETURNS ON 88D AND THUS A DOWNPOUR.

OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES ARE THE DRIEST...MOST CAN HANDLE 2.5 INCHES OF
RAIN.  STILL WILL HAVE TO MONITOR ANY TRAINING.  RADAR RAIN
ESTIMATES WERE OVERESTIMATING LAST NIGHT.

OVERALL...LKLY POPS EXPANDED A BIT NORTH THIS AFTERNOON...TO COVER
THE NORTHERN SUPPORT.  BUT STILL THINKING THE TALLER STORMS WILL BE
SOUTH.

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE TOUGH WITH THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION AND
CLOUDS.  TRIED TO BRING MAX DOWN A DEG OR 2 IN HTS-CRW VCNTY.

THINKING A LOT OF HAZE AND MUGGY AIR AROUND OUTSIDE OF ANY LINGERING
CONVECTION THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES WITH WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
CONTINUES ACROSS OUR AREA THIS PERIOD.

MODELS CONTINUE TO NOT ONLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MCS ACTIVITY ALONG
THE EAST TO WEST FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOMEWHERE ACROSS OUR REGION THIS
PERIOD...BUT ALSO IN IDENTIFYING WEAK SHORT WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE
WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.

AT THIS TIME FRAME...ONE MUST PLAY THE SYNOPTIC FEATURES...WHICH ARE
WEAK. ON TUESDAY...MODELS IDENTIFY A SHORT WAVE DROPPING SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...THOUGH THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN JUST WHERE
THE SURFACE FRONT WILL BE TO FOCUS CONVECTION. LOOKS LIKE MODEL
CONSENSUS HAS AT LEAST THE DEEPER MOISTURE SUPPRESSED INTO OUR
SOUTHERN ZONES...AND WILL USE THIS TO PLACE THE SUPPORT FOR
SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION...RATHER THAN THE SURFACE FRONT ITSELF WHICH
WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS. THUS...MOST OF THE POPS
WILL BE SOUTH OF THE I64 CORRIDOR TUESDAY. TEMPS WILL BE NEAR
NORMAL...MAINLY DUE DUE TO CLOUDS.

SHORT WAVE MOVES PAST US WEDNESDAY WHILE THE FRONT WILL LIKELY
DISSIPATE IN PLACE. GOING MOSTLY DRY WEDNESDAY WITH ONLY VERY LOW
POPS FAR SOUTHEAST DUE TO LINGERING MOISTURE.

MODELS HAVE ORGANIZED COLD FRONT CROSSING THE AREA THURSDAY...
PRECEDED BY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY. AGAIN...TEMPS NEAR NORMAL WITH ALL THE CLOUDS AND
INCREASING SHOWERS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
DECREASED POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE BEHIND THE FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY FRIDAY. HAVE NO POPS/WX FOR THE REST OF NEXT WEEKEND.

WENT WITH HPC TEMPERATURES GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE...WITH HOLES IN THE CLOUDS...ALLOWED FOR
VALLEY FOG TO DEVELOP IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA. THIS WILL
QUICKLY IMPROVE 12Z-14Z. HOWEVER...COMPLICATED FORECAST BECAUSE OF
CLUSTERS OF INTERACTING THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THE AREA
TODAY AS WAVES MOVE ALONG A SLOWLY SAGGING FRONT. BEST CHANCES SOUTH
OF A KPKB-KCKB LINE. LEFTOVER CONVECTION MAY LINGER INTO THIS
EVENING SOUTH OF KCRW-KHTS LINE. AS CLEARING OCCURS FROM THE NORTH
TONIGHT...AND WITH TRAPPED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FROM RAINFALL FROM
TODAY...IT WILL BE A GOOD FOG NIGHT AREAWIDE WITH IFR TO LIFR FOR
MOST VALLEYS 06Z-12Z TUESDAY.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: UNCERTAINTY TO PLACEMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS.
