AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
745 PM EDT THU MAR 15 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WITH SHOWERS TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH MILD TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
730 PM UPDATE...RADAR CURRENTLY SHOWS A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS WEST OF OUR FORECAST AREA...WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SLOW
WEAKENING TREND. MODELS AND TIME OF DAY INDICATE THAT THE STORMS
SHOULD CONTINUE WEAKENING AS THEY MOVE INTO THE TRI-STATE AREA...BUT
STILL INCREASED POPS AND ADDED STRONG THUNDERSTORM WORDING TO
WEATHER FOR OUR WESTERN MOST COUNTIES FOR THE NEXT THREE HOURS.
CURRENT THINKING IS THESE STRONGER STORMS WILL MAKE IT TO ABOUT
HUNTINGTON...WEAKENING TO SCATTERED GUSTY SHOWERS FARTHER EAST.

ALSO MADE SOME SUBSTANTIAL ADJUSTMENTS TO HOURLY TEMPS THIS EVENING
BASED ON CURRENT OBS WHICH ARE MUCH COOLER THAN THE HOURLY GRIDS.
HOWEVER DID NOT MAKE ANY BIG CHANGES TO OVERNIGHT LOWS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE NEAR TERM CONTINUES TO BE CHANCES
OF PERIODIC SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA AND SUBSEQUENT
HYDRO CONCERNS.

AS OF 18Z CURRENT BATCH OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRIMARILY
ACROSS SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD
CONTINUE MOVING TO THE EAST/SOUTHEAST. STORMS MAY CONTINUE TO BE
STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE THROUGH ABOUT 21Z BEFORE WEAKER SHEAR
MOVES OVER THE AREA. IN ITS WAKE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS FORMING
ACROSS WESTERN KENTUCKY ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEXT SHORTWAVE MOVING
EAST/NORTHEAST THROUGH THE MEAN FLOW. IN SHORT...THERE SHOULD BE A
BRIEF LULL IN PRECIP COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THIS EVENING AND
POSSIBLY INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND MAKES
IN INTO THE AREA BETWEEN 06Z-09Z. WEAKER SHEAR OVERNIGHT WILL ALSO
INCREASE WITH THE APPROACH OF THE SHORTWAVE TO AROUND 25KTS. MUCAPE
ALSO INCREASES AS WELL BETWEEN 09Z-12Z WITH VALUES OF AROUND
500J-600J AS WELL. THOUGH SHEAR ISN/T IMPRESSIVE...ITS OBVIOUSLY
CLOSE ENOUGH TO KEEP AN EYE ON WITH REGARD TO SEVERE POTENTIAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LOOKING MORE LIKE A MAY OR JUNE TYPE PATTERN THAN A MID MARCH
WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY. LONG WAVE PATTERN HINTS
AT RIDGING IN THE LOWER RESOLUTION PROGS...BUT EXAMINATION OF THE
12KM NAM CONTINUES TO DEPICT NUMEROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EMBEDDED IN
THE LARGE SCALE FLOW. SAME GOES WITH THE VORTICITY FIELDS. FOR
FRIDAY...VERTICAL PROFILES EXHIBIT SIGNIFICANT INSTABILITY...AIDED
BY DEWPOINTS APPROACHING 60F OVER THE WESTERN ZONES. WILL ALSO BE
SATURATED THROUGH THE EQUILIBRIUM LEVEL...WITH MODEST CAPE...BUT
EXISTING UPWARD THROUGH THE COLUMN PAST 300MB. PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES WILL REMAIN BETWEEN 1.00 AND 1.25 INCHES...A RATHER HIGH
WATER CONTENT GIVEN THE TIME OF YEAR. NOT HELPING MATTERS IS THE
LACK OF VEGETATION TO ABSORB SOME OF THE RAINFALL...AND WITH THE
GROUND SATURATED IN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA FROM THE ACTION
ONGOING TODAY...RUNOFF WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM. MAY NEED TO
LEAVE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME...BUT
WILL LET THE EVENING SHIFT ULTIMATELY MAKE THAT DECISION. BOTTOM
LINE...TOMORROW LOOKS A LOT LIKE TODAY IN TERMS OF THE SYNOPTIC SET
UP...AND DO NOT HAVE ANY REASON TO THINK MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF
THUNDERSTORMS WILL NOT OCCUR.

INTO THE WEEKEND...CANNOT STABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE...ALTHOUGH
SATURDAY WILL HAVE SOME DRY AIR INTRUSION ABOVE 600MB. SO WHILE MORE
SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE...THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
SHOULD COME DOWN A BIT. THE RIDGE ALOFT WILL BE CENTERED JUST TO THE
EAST NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE DELMARVA...AND
SHOULD EXERT A SMALL AMOUNT OF INFLUENCE KEEPING THE NORTHERN ZONES
DRIER. LIKELY WILL NOT HAVE A FAR ENOUGH REACH TO AFFECT THE
SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES WHERE THE CHANCES FOR CONVECTION ARE
BETTER. AS A RESULT...HAVE LOWER POPS OVERALL...WITH CHANCE IN THE
SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS. SUNDAY...MAY SEE ANOTHER SLIGHT UPTICK IN
OVERALL ACTIVITY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UNSETTLED WEATHER TO CONTINUE IN THE LONG TERM...ESPECIALLY EARLY ON
AS SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION. PLENTY OF MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE
AREA...WITH PW VALUES CONTINUING TO BE OVER AN INCH...OR ABOUT 2
STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS MAY
CONTINUE TO LEAD TO WATER ISSUES ACROSS THE CWA...AND WILL HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF BREAK IN THE
PRECIPITATION MID WEEK AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING TRIES TO TAKE HOLD
ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S....HOWEVER...ANY DRYING WILL BE SHORT LIVED
AS BOTH GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN AGREEMENT OF A CUTOFF LOW FORMING TO
OUR SOUTH AND WEST....THAT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH MOISTURE NORTHWARD
INTO OUR AREA TOWARDS THE END OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD. AS A
RESULT...COULD SEE ANOTHER SOAKER OF A SITUATION...AND DEPENDING ON
HOW THE WEEK SHAPES UP...POSSIBLE CONTINUED WATER PROBLEMS. ELECTED
TO FOLLOW HPC THINKING IN THE LONG TERM...MAINLY KEEPING SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS DUE TO UNCERTAINTY.

&&

 .AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
KIND OF A MIXED BAG OF WEATHER GOING ON FOR THE TAF PERIOD. FIRST
CONCERN IS STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MOVING IN FROM THE WEST...EXPECT
THESE TO IMPACT KHTS BEFORE 02Z WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF GUSTY WINDS
AND SMALL HAIL...WILL HANDLE THIS WITH A TEMPO. THESE STORMS SHOULD
WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE EAST...SO LITTLE TO ANY IMPACT FROM THEM TO
OTHER TAF SITES.

NEXT CONCERN FOR TONIGHT IS DEVELOPMENT OF FOG. WITH A GOOD AMOUNT
OF GROUND MOISTURE AVAILABLE FROM TODAYS RAIN...ANY BREAKS IN THE
CLOUDS COULD GET THE FOG GOING. WITH THAT SAID...CLOUDS SHOULD
BE INCREASING OVERNIGHT. LAV PROBABILITIES DO SHOW AT LEAST A CHANCE
OF MVFR VISIBILITIES WITH FOG...SO TRIED TO TIME SOME MVFR FOG INTO
TAFS BASED ON PRECIP AND SKY TRENDS.

MORE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY...BRINGING PERIODS OF MVFR.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF MVFR DUE TO SHOWERS AND FOG MAY
DIFFER. COULD SEE DENSE FOG DEVELOP IN FOG PRONE AREAS TONIGHT IF
CLOUDS DO NOT INCREASE.
