Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 6:56 PM EDT, 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
656 PM EDT TUE JUL 9 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
MUGGY MIDSUMMER ENVIRONMENT. DISTURBANCES ALOFT BRING MORE ROUNDS
OF SHOWERS/STORMS INTO THURSDAY. FLASH FLOOD CONCERNS CONTINUE.
WELCOME RELIEF IN WAKE OF COLD FRONT THURSDAY. DRIER FRIDAY/SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WILL UPDATE THE FORECAST TO BETTER HANDLE THE BAND OF PRECIPITATION
MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN COUNTIES THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE 12Z GFS WAS EVEN FASTER WITH THE DRIER AIR ARRIVING ON
THURSDAY.  BUT...WILL NOT GO THAT FAST ON REMOVING THE POPS.

WILL STILL LEAVE AT LEAST SOME CHANCE POPS WITH THE SURFACE
FRONT.  HAVE FRONT PASSING THE OHIO RIVER COUNTIES AROUND PKB BY
15Z...THEN REACHING THE WV MOUNTAINOUS AROUND BKW AROUND 21Z.
STILL THINKING LOW STRATUS OR FOG FORMING THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
DAWN FRIDAY. WITH WET SOILS...TRIED TO KEEP THE AREAS UNDER THE
STRATUS AND FOG A BIT HIGHER ON THE MINIMUM TEMPERATURE ON THURSDAY
NIGHT.

BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ARE FROM THE NORTH ON FRIDAY...LOWERING DEW
POINTS DURING THE DAY.  A WELCOME AND NEEDED CHANGE IN OUR MID
SUMMER ENVIRONMENT EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WILL GENERALLY FOLLOW WPC THINKING FOR THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL GENERALLY BE IN CONTROL
THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. A COLD FRONT SHOULD THEN APPROACH FROM
THE NORTHWEST LATE.

HOWEVER...ECMWF AND GFS BOTH SUGGEST AN UPPER TROUGH WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE EASTERN STATES.  THE GFS ACTUALLY INDICATES THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE TROUGH WILL CUT-OFF AND MOVE WEST...ALLOWING AN UPPER
RIDGE TO BUILD ACROSS THE AREA BY SUNDAY...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW
DEVELOPING SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.  THE ECMWF ACTUALLY KEEPS THE
TROUGH IN THE VICINITY INTO TUESDAY.

COMBINATION OF EASTERLY FLOW AND THE POSSIBLE UPPER LEVEL WEAKNESS
SHOULD KEEP MAINLY DIURNAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CAUSE RESTRICTIONS OVER
SOUTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA THIS EVENING. ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY. SOME MVFR FOG RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
LATER TONIGHT IN AREAS RECEIVING RAINFALL...BUT SOME WINDS STIRRING
SHOULD LIMIT FOG DEVELOPMENT.
