AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
545 AM EST FRI MAR 2 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM FRONT TODAY. COLD FRONT TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH
EACH. COLD WEATHER ESTABLISHES FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE...
HAVE SPED UP THE POPS THIS MORNING EVER SO SLIGHTLY...BASED ON
CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. WILL NEED TO WATCH CURRENT LINE OF
CONVECTION THAT IS LOCATED ALONG THE 850MB DEWPOINT GRADIENT. NOT
SURE IF THIS INITIAL LINE OF STORMS WILL SURVIVE INTO OUR
AREA...AS THEY MAY OUT RUN THE ADVECTION OF THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
AND WARMER AIR. CURRENT OBS STILL HAVE THE CWA AT FREEZING OR JUST
ABOVE...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BKW WHICH IS UP TO 45F. STILL
BELIEVE SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS OVER THE
SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES.

PRIMARY STORM THREATS TODAY REMAIN WIND AND HAIL...BUT TORNADOES
ARE A POSSIBILITY AS WELL GIVEN THE HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AS MODELS HAVE SUGGESTED...FIRST CONVECTION GETTING STARTED WITH THE
WARM ADVECTION/WARM FRONT OVER THE SOUTHERN TENNESSEE BORDER AND
SOUTHERN APPALACHIA. SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN AIRMASS EXPECTED TODAY
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE WARM FRONT. WILL EXPECT INCREASES IN SURFACE
AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...WHICH WILL HELP SET THE STAGE FOR A POTENT
DAY WEATHER WISE ACROSS OUR CWA.

FIRST BATTLE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER WITH THE DEEPENING
MOISTURE WITH THE WARM FRONT. NEED TO LOOK ABOVE 900MB/INVERSION
LAYER WITH THIS ASSESSMENT...AND ALSO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SPEED
AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AS THE LOW LEVEL DYNAMICS INCREASE ON THE
WHOLE WITH WARM FRONTAL PASSAGE. THAT BEING SAID...WHILE THUNDER IS
EXPECTED...FEEL THE COVERAGE WILL BE MORE SCATTERED LATER THIS
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON IN THIS TYPE OF REGIME.

ONCE IN THE WARM SECTOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...DROP THE POPS
DOWN TO CHANCE WITH THE THOUGHT THAT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS WELL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
CONCERNS TURN TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST AT THIS POINT WHERE SEVERE
WEATHER WILL LIKELY HAVE BEEN ONGOING...AND FAST MOVING CELLS AND
QLCS FEATURES WILL TREK TOWARDS OUR AREA. BEST LAPSE RATES WILL BE
WEST OF HERE DURING THE PRIME HEATING HOURS TODAY AS OPPOSED TO OUR
CWA...BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SPC HAS EXPANDED THE MODERATE
RISK FURTHER EAST TOWARDS THE CHARLESTON AREA...AND WILL SEE SPILL
OVER FROM ACTION FROM AREAS TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST INTO OUR NECK OF
THE WOODS. NAM BRINGS SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES OVER 1000J/KG TO THE
MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL APPALACHIANS...BUT THIS CAN BE
OVERDONE AT TIMES WITH SURFACE DEWPOINT BIASES FROM THAT MODEL. WITH
SUNSET...WILL BE LOSING THE INSTABILITY OFF THE SURFACE AND WILL NOT
HAVE THE SAME HIGH LAPSE RATES AS MENTIONED FOR THE LOWER OHIO AND
TENNESSEE VALLEYS. SO...WITH THE COLD FRONT NOT SLATED TO COME
THROUGH UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING AND INTO TONIGHT...THIS COULD HELP
CURB SOME THE STRENGTH OF STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT ITSELF.
IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT WE WILL HAVE DEALT WITH SIGNIFICANT
NUMBERS OF STORMS BY THIS POINT HOWEVER...AND THE COLD FRONT WILL
LIKELY NOT BE OUR ONLY PROBLEM TODAY/TONIGHT.

FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS FAIRLY LOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA IN BOTH
THE ONE HOUR AND THREE HOUR RANGES...THANKS TO THE ACTIVITY FROM
WEDNESDAY. WHITE NOT IN ANY EXCESSIVE RAINFALL GRAPHICS FROM
HPC...NO VEGETATION THIS TIME OF YEAR MAKES FOR MORE OF THE BURDEN
OF RAINFALL TO BE ABSORBED BY THE STREAMS...CREEKS AND RIVERS. WARM
ADVECTION RAINFALL WILL DICTATE NEEDS TODAY AS FAR AS WATCHES. RFC
QPF AMOUNTS AT THIS TIME ARE GENERALLY A BIT LOWER COMPARED TO THOSE
FROM WEDNESDAY. ALSO LOWER COMPARED TO THE ATMOSPHERIC SET UP
WEDNESDAY IS THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WHICH PEAK AT AROUND THE
1.15 INCH RANGE.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST...WARM SECTOR AIRMASS SHOULD GIVE WELL ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES TODAY APPROACHING 70F OVER THE
LOWLANDS...ALTHOUGH DO NOT THINK THERE WILL BE MANY...IF
ANY...LOCATIONS TOPPING THIS MARK. EXPECTING WINDS TO PICK UP TODAY
AS WELL...WITH GUSTS OVER 20KTS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO
TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AMPLIFYING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE OHIO VALLEY BRINGS MUCH COLDER AIR
IN THIS PERIOD...ESPECIALLY BEGINNING SUNDAY WITH A REINFORCING
SURGE OF COLD AIR AND DEEPER MOISTURE UNDER AN AMPLIFYING UPPER
TROUGH.

AHEAD OF THIS COLDER SURGE...SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE A MOSTLY DRY AND
SEASONABLE DAY...WITH A RELATIVE DRY SLOT IN SOUTHWEST FLOW UNDER A
COOLING ATMOSPHERE ALOFT. THIS WILL BRING A RATHER BLUSTERY SATURDAY
ONCE MIXING DEVELOPS...DIMINISHING AT NIGHT WITH LOSS OF HEATING.

BACK TO SUNDAY...COLD ADVECTION BEGINS IN EARNEST WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES. INTRODUCED CHANCE POPS LOW LANDS...AND LIKELY POPS IN
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WHERE SOME OROGRAPHIC UPSLOPE FLOW
WILL ENHANCE SHOWERS. NOT IDEAL UPSLOPE COMPONENT...BUT MOISTURE UP
THROUGH 700 MB IS NOTED. IN A NUTSHELL...NOTHING HEAVY. THIS TIME OF
YEAR AND DAYTIME HOURS STRONGLY SUGGEST RAIN SHOWERS...EXCEPT SNOW
SHOWERS ABOVE 2000 FEET. MAYBE AN INCH OF SNOW IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. WILL SPLIT THE COLDER MET AND MILDER MAV TEMP
GUIDANCE...RANGING FROM NEAR 40 LOW LANDS TO UPPER 20S HIGHER
MOUNTAIN ELEVATIONS.

MODELS FEATURE AN UPPER DISTURBANCE SWINGING THRU THE AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT...BUT TRACK AND SPEED ARE DIFFERENT IN THE MODELS. GIVEN THIS
LACK OF CONFIDENCE ON THIS FEATURE THIS FAR OUT...WILL TREAT THIS AS
MAINLY AN UPSLOPE EVENT. EXPECT RAIN SHOWERS TO SNOW SHOWERS LOW
LANDS WITH PERHAPS A LIGHT COATING IN SPOTS...BUT A FEW INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS. LOWS FROM THE UPPER 20S LOW LANDS TO THE UPPER TEENS
HIGHER MOUNTAINS.

FOR MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN RAPIDLY WITH LINGERING
MOUNTAINS SNOW SHOWERS ENDING EARLY AND SUNSHINE INCREASING FROM
WEST TO EAST. STILL..EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE BELOW NORMAL...IN THE
LOWER 40S LOW LANDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVES BY THE REGION.

SUNDAY NIGHT...INITIALLY LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT PUSHES
EASTWARD OUT OF THE AREA BUT WILL QUICKLY REDEVELOP DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES NW-SE THROUGH THE MEAN FLOW
AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH BASE. THIS FORCING IS MAXIMIZED OVER
THE SOUTHERN CWA AROUND 12Z MON BEFORE LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE
QUICKLY DEVELOPS ACROSS AREA BY 18Z MON IN ITS WAKE...WITH TROUGH
AXIS EAST OF AREA BY THEN. IN ADDITION...GOOD PVA AND LOW LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION AT BOTH 700MB AND 850MB SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE SOME
PRECIP OVER THE AREA...WITH HIGHEST POPS ACROSS SOUTHERN AND WESTERN
CWA BTWN 06Z-12Z MON. TEMPS WILL DROP INTO THE LOWER 30S MOST
LOCATIONS BY 06Z AND WITH MODEL CONSENSUS QPF AROUND THE 0.1 TO 0.2
INCH RANGE...AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE.

PRECIP WILL BY AND LARGE COME TO END BY MIDDAY MONDAY BUT WILL
CONTINUE SLIGHT CHANCE/LOW CHANCE POPS MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHERN ZONES
AND MOUNTAINS UNTIL 00Z TUE TO ACCOUNT FOR PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE IN PLACE WITH A 700MB BAROCLINIC ZONE PROGGED NEAR THE
WESTERN/SOUTHERN CWA MON AFTERNOON. SNOW WILL CHANGE TO RAIN HOWEVER
ACROSS LOWLANDS AS TEMPS WARM THROUGH THE 30S INTO THE 40S. ALL
PRECIP SHOULD END BY TUE 00Z WITH CLEARING SKIES. TUE MORNING WILL
BE COLDEST MORNING DURING THE PERIOD. WITH 925MB TEMPS AROUND -3C TO
-4C 12Z TUE AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES/LIGHT WINDS...HAVE CONTINUED TO
LOWER MINS A FEW DEGREES DOWN INTO THE LOW 20S ACROSS THE LOWLANDS.
HIGHS TUE WILL WARM TO NEAR SEASONAL LEVELS AND INTO THE 60S WED/THU
AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CEILINGS LOWER AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT. SHOWERS WITH SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON WILL BRING
MAINLY BRIEF MVFR TYPE RESTRICTIONS...AND HAVE CARRIED CB FOR THE
THUNDER POTENTIAL. ADDITIONAL STORMS LATER TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT
WILL HAVE STRONG OR POSSIBLY SEVERE CHARACTERISTICS WITH STRONG
WINDS AND HAIL. MAY NEED TO UPGRADE CB TO TSRA AND ADD BRIEF IFR
FOR CERTAIN TAF SITES BEYOND THE 18Z TIME FRAME...ESPECIALLY WITH
THE COLD FRONT INTO TONIGHT.

SURFACE FLOW WILL BECOME GUSTY OUT OF THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. COLD FRONT PASSES FROM 03Z TO 09Z TONIGHT...AND WILL TAKE
SHOWER AND THUNDER CHANCES WITH IT.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: EXACT TIMING AND LOCATIONS OF CONVECTION
STILL CARRIES A DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY. TEMPOS MAY BE NEEDED FOR
BRIEF IFR...GUSTY THUNDERSTORM WINDS...AND TSRA.
