What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 30, 8:25 PM EDT, 1 hour 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 8:25 PM EDT, 1 hour 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
825 PM EDT FRI MAR 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH THIS EVENING. LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST JUST TO
OUR NORTH TONIGHT. COLD FRONT PASSES LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE SATURDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
8 PM UPDATE. UPDATED FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 120 ISSUED FOR
PARTS OF SOUTHEAST OHIO...NORTHEAST KENTUCKY AND NORTHWESTERN WEST
VIRGINIA TIL MIDNIGHT. ADJUSTED QUICKER TIMING OF SQUALL LINE INTO
NORTH AND WEST AREAS THIS EVENING...AND EXTENDED SHOWERS BEHIND THE
ACCOMPANYING FRONT THAT MOVES THRU TONIGHT DUE TO IMPRESSIVE LOOKING
VORT MAX OVER IOWA THIS EVENING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN THIS PERIOD WILL BE THE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH A SFC COLD FRONT WHICH WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...ALONG
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE CONVECTION.

BTWN 00Z-06Z A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE MEAN WESTERLY
FLOW WILL BEGIN TO FLATTEN OUT TO THE NORTH. BEST LARGE SCALE
FORCING FOR ASCENT REMAINS NORTH WITH IT BUT SOME WEAK LIFT IS
PRESENT OVER AREA. OVERALL UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM ALONG WITH ATTENDANT
SFC LOW IS NOTABLY SLOWER IN RECENT RUNS VERSUS YESTERDAY
RUNS...WITH THE COLD FRONT NOT INTO THE NW PART OF THE AREA UNTIL
AROUND 03Z. HAVE THE FRONT LOCATED WITH HIGHEST POPS NEAR CRW AROUND
08Z-09Z...AND SOME INDICATIONS THAT THIS MAY EVEN BE A BIT QUICK.
REGARDING SVR POTENTIAL WITH THE FRONT/PRE-FRONT ENVIRONMENT...BEST
OPPORTUNITY SHOULD COME ACROSS SOUTHEAST OHIO. WHILE STRONG WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME LOW-LEVEL DRY AIR IN PLACE...THE GREATER
THREAT SHOULD BE LARGE HAIL. BOTH 0-6K SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WILL
DECREASE AFTER 06Z AS THE COLD FRONT PROGRESSES FURTHER EAST..WHICH
SHOULD EFFECTIVELY END THE SVR THREAT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODELS HAVE THE SFC LOW PRESSURE CENTER JUST TO OUR NORTHWEST OVER
THE WV EASTERN PANHANDLE BY 12Z SAT. GFS/ECMWF HAVE SLOWED DOWN
ONCE AGAIN THE PROGRESS OF ITS COLD FRONT TO BE OVER OUR WESTERN
SLOPES 12Z SAT...EXITING THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS BY 18Z.
THEREFORE...DELAYED THE DEPARTURE OF CHANCE POPS THERE.

A BRIEF HIGH PRESSURE...BEHIND THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS WITH
NORTHWEST DRIER FLOW...TO PROVIDE PERIODS OF CLEAR SKIES SAT NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY.

WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL RIDE ALONG A WEAK SFC FRONTAL
BOUNDARY SUNDAY NIGHT PROMPTING THE RETURN OF LOW CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN SECTIONS.

USED A BLEND OF MET AND MAV GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS ON SATURDAY...WITH
A TEMP GRADIENT RANGING FROM 70 DEGREES EXTREME SOUTHERN COAL
FIELDS...TO THE LOWER 60S EXTREME NORTHERN SECTIONS. KEPT HIGHS
ON SATURDAY A DEGREE LOWER THAN THE WARMER MAV NUMBERS...GENERALLY
IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S KEPT THINGS ON THE COOLER SIDE...CLOSER TO
THE MET...RANGING FROM AROUND 60 IN THE NORTH TO CLOSE TO 70 IN
THE SOUTH.

TEMPERATURES REBOUND SUNDAY PER PERIOD OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED...SO
WENT CLOSER TO THE WARMER MAV. WITH FLOW BECOMING WEST SOUTHWEST
IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER...EXPECT MOIST ADVECTION SUNDAY NIGHT
BRINGING AN INCREASE IN DEWPOINTS INTO THE MID 50S. THEREFORE...A
WARMER SUNDAY NIGHT WAS FORECASTED. WEAK SFC FLOW AND WAA AT H850
OF ABOUT FOUR DEGREES SUGGEST A MONDAY HIGHS WILL BE EVEN
WARMER...PERHAPS INTO THE LOWER 80S

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STILL HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE OPERATIONAL LONG RANGE MODELS TO
GEL ON A CONSENSUS SOLUTION REGARDING THE EVOLUTION OF A STRONG LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM FOR THE TUESDAY TIME FRAME. AS A RESULT...WILL
CONTINUE TO LEAN ON THE HPC SOLUTIONS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED BLENDS
WHICH KEEPS THE FIRST HALF OF THE FORECAST ACTIVE IN THE LONG
TERM...AND THE SECOND HALF DRY. EXPECTING AN OVERALL AMPLIFICATION
TO THE LONG WAVE PATTERN DURING THIS TIME...WITH THE ECMWF
SUGGESTING A STRONG CLOSED LOW SITUATION OVER THE NORTHEASTERN
CONUS. WILL NEED TO WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WITH OUR NORTHERN ZONES
INCLUDING THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS IN TERMS OF
TEMPERATURES...CLOUDS...AND PRECIPITATION. HPC GOES CONSERVATIVE NOW
AND KEEPS IT DRY...MORE LIKE THE GFS.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
01Z SATURDAY THRU 00Z SUNDAY...
EXPECT A SQUALL LINE...WELL AHEAD OF COLD FRONT...TO MOVE EAST
SOUTHEAST INTO AREA BY 01Z. THIS WILL CONTINUE BUT WEAKEN BY 04Z AS
IT CROSSES THE OHIO RIVER. ALSO EXPECT SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT
WHICH MOVES THRU TONIGHT TO LINGER INTO SATURDAY MORNING AS VORT
MAX OVER IOWA MOVES ACROSS.

GENERALLY VFR AHEAD OF COLD FRONT...EXCEPT IN SQUALL LINE AND OTHER
SCATTER SHOWERS. NEAR AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...WHICH REACHES THE
OHIO RIVER AROUND 2 AM...AND THE MOUNTAINS AROUND 13Z...BECOMING
MVFR IN SHOWERS...LOCALLY IFR IN HIGHER MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS.

IMPROVING TO VFR BY 16Z WEST OF THE OHIO RIVER...AND WEST OF THE
MOUNTAINS BY 21Z. MVFR CONTINUES IN MOUNTAINS.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF COLD FRONT WITH STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
MAY VARY...ALONG WITH SUBSEQUENT FLIGHT CONDITIONS.
