AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
509 PM EDT SAT SEP 3 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY.
TROPICAL MOISTURE THEN FLOWS NORTHWARD FOR THE NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
5 PM UPDATE. STORMS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP ALONG OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES FROM MOUNTAIN CONVECTION...SHIFTING WEST INTO THE
LOWLANDS. WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE REDEVELOPMENT ALONG THESE
BOUNDARIES THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS THEY PROPAGATE WEST.
INCREASED POPS MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA BEFORE
DISSIPATING WITH LOSS OF THE BUILT UP AFTERNOON CAPE.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC SHOWS SHRA/TSRA FIRING OVER THE RIDGES AND
INTO VA PIEDMONT AS OF 18Z. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONT INTO AFTN
HRS GIVEN LAPSE RATES AND ELEV HEAT SOURCE AMID PROXIMITY TO
DISTURBANCE TRAVERSING S THRU CENTRAL VA. COVERAGE WILL EXPAND S
DOWN THE MTNS CHAIN INTO SW VA THRU 21Z. FLOW REMAINS RATHER
WEAK...WITH CELL MOVEMENT MORE TOWARD SW AT A SLOW PACE. GIVEN THE
LOOK TO SOUNDINGS...HAVE INSERTED GUSTY WINDS AND LCL HVY RAIN IN
MTNS. OUTSIDE OF MTNS...HAVE INSERTED SCHC POPS SOUTH OF A PKB-CKB
LINE. VIS SAT SHOWS SOME VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT IN SOME OF THE CU SE
OH INTO KANAWHA VALLEY. THERE COULD BE A FEW ROGUE CELLS TO
DEVELOP NEXT FEW HRS...HENCE THE SCHC POPS.
MIXING ALOFT OF DRY AIR INDEED HAS OCCURRED ACROSS PORTIONS OF SE
OH INTO THE PKB AREA...NIXING THREAT OF HI NEAR 100F.
ELSEWHERE...WILL CONT HEADLINES ELSEWHERE WITH HI EITHER SIDE OF
100F.
EVE HZ GIVES WAY TO PATCHY RVR VALLEY FG. DONT EXPECT IT TO BE AS
DENSE AS LAST NIGHT GIVEN PUFF AT H925. FG LIFTS INTO MORNING HZ
TOMORROW WITH INCREASING MID/HI CLOUDS AS DAY WEARS ON. STRONG
BAROCLINIC ZONE APPROACHES IN THE AFTN WITH A BAND OF CONVECTION
POISED TO AFFECT SE OH THRU AFTN. HAVE CAT POPS ACROSS THIS AREA
THRU 00Z. ELSEWHERE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL AID IN ADVECTING IN
MOISTURE N FROM TS LEE OVER THE GULF COAST. CANT RULE OUT
CONVECTION FIRING ACROSS THE LOWLANDS IN AFTN...BUT EXPECT MOST OF
ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF SE OH TO BE ACROSS THE MTNS.
FOR TEMPS...USED LAST NIGHT MINT AS A BASE FOR OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
AND TWEAKED A DEGREE UP MOST PLACES...KEEPING MANY LOCATIONS FROM
DIPPING BELOW 70F. WENT A LIL WARMER FOR TOMORROW THAN
GUIDANCE EAST OF OH RVR WHERE MORE SUN IS EXPECTED.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
BASED ON THE NAM HISTORY WITH TROPICAL SYSTEMS...HAVE NOT USED THAT
MODEL. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE A GOOD GENERAL AGREEMENT THROUGH THESE
PERIODS. A COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY...PROVIDING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE TROPICAL SYSTEM
THEN MOVES NORTHWARD PUSHING THE HEAVY MOISTURE BACK WESTWARD ON
TUESDAY. THE SYSTEM THEN SLOWLY MOVES TOWARD THE REGION. THERE IS A
GOOD POSSIBLY OF FLOOD WATCHES BEING POSTED WITH THIS SYSTEM.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FOR WEDNESDAY...USED A BLEND OF THE GFS/ECMWF...WITH SOME ADJUSTMENT
FOR THE HURRICANE CENTERS TRACK OF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM. THEN TRENDED
TO A GEFS/ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEAN BLEND.
THIS BRINGS THE TROPICAL SYSTEM SLOWLY NORTHWARD TOWARD THE
REGION...WITH THE SYSTEM EVENTUALLY BECOMING CUT OFF FROM THE FLOW
AND REMAINING OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE
FORECAST BECOMES EXTRA TRICKY AS VERY DRY AIR WEST OF THE TROPICAL
SYSTEM BECOMES ENTRAINED INTO THE SYSTEM...ROTATING AROUND IT.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
21Z SATURDAY THRU 18Z SUNDAY...
EXPECT CONVECTION TO CONTINUE ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SHIFTING
WESTWARD FROM THE MOUNTAINS INTO THE EASTERN LOW LANDS THRU 02Z.
AFTER 02Z...SOME MVFR HAZE...AND MVFR/IFR RIVER AND VALLEY AFTER 06Z.
AFTER 13Z FG LIFTS TO A PERIOD OF MVFR HZ 13-16Z BEFORE MIXING OUT.
MID/HI CLOUDS INCREASE THRU THE DAY AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT
WITH SHRA/TSRA EXPECTED ALONG AND WEST OF OH RVR IN AFTN. SHOULD
ALSO SEE SOME CONVECTION FIRE AGAIN IN MTNS. IFR CONDITIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED IN ANY CONVECTION...OTHERWISE VFR SHOULD PREVAIL.
