AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
147 AM EDT MON MAR 19 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND STORMS DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OVERNIGHT.
RIDGING ALOFT AND SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM HITS THE AREA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM THIS MORNING/...
UPDATED POPS/WX GRIDS PER MCS LIKE FEATURE AFFECTING THE NORTHERN
HALF OVERNIGHT. ADDITIONAL ISOLATED STORMS WILL DEVELOP UNDER WEAK
NORTHWEST FLOW AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. KEPT DRY MOST OF
THE EXTREME SOUTHERN SECTIONS. ADJUSTED SKY GRIDS PER LATEST
SATELLITE IMAGES AND MOS/CMC GUIDANCE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW...
10PM UPDATE...ONLY CHANGE WAS TO DECREASE POPS OVER SOUTHERN HALF
OF CWA AND RAISE POPS OVER NORTHERN ZONES WHERE CONVECTION STILL
PERSISTS AT THIS HOUR. OTHERWISE...NO MAJOR CHANGES NEEDED.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... ONE MID LEVEL VORT CENTER EXITS
EASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...AS ANOTHER ENTERS FROM THE
WEST. MATURE FEATURE EXITING THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS CONTAINS MAINLY
WEAKENING STRATIFORM PRECIPITATION...WHILE THE FEATURE MOVING
ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO IS JUST STARTING TO GENERATE MORE CONVECTIVE
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. MAIN FOCUS FOR SHOWER
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST OH AND CENTRAL WV AS THIS MID
LEVEL VORT CENTER TRACKS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
HOWEVER...CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT MAY ALSO OCCUR ACROSS CENTRAL KY
AND MOVE INTO SOUTHERN COALFIELDS WHERE FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS
IN PLACE FOR THREE COUNTIES.

FOR TEMPS...MAINLY USED SREF BIAS CORRECTED GRIDS FOR MAX AND MIN
TEMPS FOR TONIGHT AND MONDAY WITH SOME MINOR TWEAKS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MAIN THEME FOR THIS PERIOD WILL BE THE CONTINUED WELL ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.  BUT THE DEW POINTS
WILL ALSO REMAIN HIGHER THAN NORMAL...MOSTLY IN THE LOW AND MID 50S.

SHOWERS MAY LINGER MONDAY EVENING ACROSS THE ROUTE 50 CORRIDOR ON
NORTH AND DOWN INTO THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.

THE WEAK LOW LEVEL FLOW...UNDER THE BUILDING MID LEVEL RIDGE...WILL
TURN TO SOUTHEAST ON TUESDAY. MOISTURE REMAINS MARGINAL.  WILL LEAVE
SOME 20 TO 30 POPS ON OUR UPSLOPE AREAS...INCLUDING THE BKW VCNTY
BOTH TUESDAY...AND NOW...WILL INCLUDE THAT PATTERN FOR WEDNESDAY
TOO. THOSE POPS MAY MOVE FURTHER WEST...OR WNW...INTO ERN KENTUCKY
ON WEDNESDAY TOO.

HARD TO BELIEVE WE CONTINUE TO FORECAST OVERNIGHT MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES ALMOST AS WARM AS OUR NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURE...
SUCH AS THE MID 50S FOR THE LOWLANDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPPER RIDGE HOLDS OFF S/W TROF TO THE W LONG ENOUGH TO KEEP THE
WEATHER DRY THROUGH THU...SAVE PERHAPS FOR SCATTERED DIURNAL
CONVECTION.  AFTER THAT...MODEL DIFFERENCES ARISE ON TIMING OF UPPER
LOW AS IT TRACKS THROUGH A LONG WAVE RIDGE POSITION.  KEY IS TIMING
OF NORTHERN STREAM S/W ENERGY OVER TOP OF SAID RIDGE...WHICH AFFECTS
TIMING OF THE UPPER LOW AND HOW FAR N OR S IT ENDS UP AS IT
APPROACHES THE E COAST OVER THE WEEKEND.

WENT LARGELY WITH HPC ON POP AND SKY FOR TIMING...WHICH WOULD HAVE
SYSTEM APPROACHING THU NT AND FRI AND THEN MOVES THROUGH FRI NT AND
SAT.  LOOKS LIKE SYSTEM WILL BE WEAKENING AS IT APPROACHES...BUT
STILL MOISTURE LADEN...WITH PW VALUES OF BETWEEN 1.2 TO 1.35
INCHES...NOT ONLY WAY ABOVE NORMAL...BUT IN FACT IN THE 99TH
PERCENTILE...FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.  SO ANY RAINFALL WITH SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE COULD BECOME
EXCESSIVE.  WILL LEAVE WATER MENTION IN RWS BUT CONTINUE TO KEEP
OUT OF HWO FROM THIS DISTANCE...PARTICULARLY GIVEN TIMING
UNCERTAINTY.

THE WEATHER SHOULD DRY OUT AND COOL DOWN A BIT IN THE WAKE OF THIS
SYSTEM LATE IN THE WEEKEND.

MINOR CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES VIA BLENDING IN CONSALL OR BCCONSALL.
HAVE THU A LITTLE WARMER AND THEN SLOWER COOLING TREND INTO THE
WEEKEND WITH SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONVECTION...ASSOCIATED WITH A PASSING SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO
FLARE UP ACROSS THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF OUR CWA TO AFFECT JUST
NORTH TO PKB...AND PERHAPS DIRECTLY AFFECTING CKB...AND EKN
THROUGH AT LEAST 09Z. IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
FREQUENT LIGHTNING ALONG THE STRONGEST STORMS. GUSTY WINDS UP TO
25 KNOTS AND SMALL HAIL CAN NOT BE RULED OUT AT THESE SITES.
THEREFORE...MENTIONED ACCORDINGLY IN THEIR TAFS.

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EVIDENT ON RADAR IMAGES TO PASS ACROSS CRW BEFORE
06Z...FOLLOWED BY ISOLATED SHOWERS OR STORMS THROUGH 07Z. THESE
ACTIVITY WILL LAST ONLY FEW MINUTES AND ITS COVERAGE IS SO SMALL
THAT IT COULD BE A HIT OR MISS ATTM. THEREFORE...JUST INCLUDED
GUSTY WINDS DURING THE FIRST HOUR.

EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT...AND MONDAY.
EXCEPT FOR PATCHY DENSE FOG IN PLACES WHERE THE SKY CLEARS
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON FOG FORMATION DESPITE HIGH
DEWPOINTS...SO LEFT IT OUT OF TAF.

BETTER CHANCES FOR CLEAR SKIES MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. DENSE FOG
WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE MONDAY NIGHT MAINLY RIVER VALLEYS AND AREAS
THAT RECEIVED RAIN OVERNIGHT. THESE CONDITIONS COULD OCCUR OUTSIDE
OF THE CURRENT TAF PERIOD. THEREFORE...WILL CONSIDER INCLUDING
THEM AT 12Z ISSUANCE.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE...HIGH.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: DEVELOPMENT/LOCATION OF ANY FOG LATE TONIGHT WILL BE
DEPENDENT ON THE AMOUNT OF CLEARING THAT CAN TAKE PLACE...AND
WHETHER OR NOT WINDS BECOME CALM OVERNIGHT.
