AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1108 PM EDT MON AUG 12 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
MID/UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES LATE TODAY AND OVERNIGHT. COLD FRONT
PASSES DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. COOLER AND DRIER...FRESHER AIR
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
1100 PM UPDATE...
EXPANDED WATCH REMAINDER OF AREA. HPC NEW EXCESSIVE PAINTS SLIGHT
RISK ACROSS MUCH OF WV OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. WITH LOW GUIDANCE ACROSS
N WV ZONES...FELT BETTER TO LEAN ON SAFE SIDE.
830 PM UPDATE...
MDLS...AS HAS BEEN THE CASE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...NOT DOING WELL
WITH DETAILS. HAD ONE DISTURBANCE TRACK ACROSS THE S WITH HEAVY
CONVECTION AHEAD OF WHICH CAUSED SOME WATER PROBLEMS IN SE KY AND
SW VA. AREA IN SOMEWHAT OF A LULL FOR NOW...ALTHOUGH SE OH IS
BEGINNING TO LIGHT UP WITH AN IMPULSE UP THAT WAY. ALSO TRACKING A
VORT MAX ACROSS C KY WITH CONVECTION ONGOING WITH THAT. FEELING IS
THIS MOVES ACROSS S KY...PERHAPS CLIPPING SW VA BY 06Z.
SFC FRONT STILL WELL NW OF AREA...TAKING UNTIL 12Z TO CROSS THRU
SE OH. THERE IS AGREEMENT ON KEEPING THINGS ACTIVE ALONG THE FRONT
THRU OVERNIGHT HRS THOUGH. HRRR/RUC/NAM SEEM TO POINT TO ANOTHER
AREA OF CONVECTION BREAKING OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...TRACKING THRU
AREA AND INTO MTNS AFTER 09Z. EVEN THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE MOVING
ALONG...WITH PWATS REMAINING EITHER SIDE OF 2 INCHES AND GIVEN
EARLIER RAINS THIS EVE...ELECTED TO EXTEND WATCH TO 15Z. THINKING
IS THOUGH...THAT NE KY AND W WV COULD BE DROPPED SEVERAL HRS
EARLIER THOUGH BUT DID NOT WANT TO GET FANCY WITH END TIMES AT
THIS JUNCTURE. DECIDED TO HOLD FOR NOW ON ANY EXPANSION GIVEN
CURRENT FFG. THERE COULD BE SOME ISO WATER ISSUES ACROSS SE OH
NEXT FEW HRS THOUGH BEFORE THAT IMPULSE MOVES OUT. HOWEVER...WITH
GUIDANCE A BIT HIGHER UP THERE...THINK WIDESPREAD THREAT IS LOW
ATTM. WILL FOLLOW TRENDS THOUGH.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW...
SEVERAL MID LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVE THROUGH OVERNIGHT. 12Z NAM
SEEMS TO HANDLE THEM FAIRLY WELL SO FAR. THE FIRST VORT MAX
STREAKS UP THE OHIO RIVER THRU HTS ARND 00Z REACH TOWARD CKB BY
03Z. OF COURSE...SUPPORT IS HEAD OF IT. SO DESPITE OLDER
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IN SRN KENTUCKY TODAY...NEWER SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THAT COMPLEX AND
WILL MOVE INTO THE TRI STATE AND SOUTHERN COUNTIES FOR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. MORE 500 MB VORT MAXES SEEM TO HANG OVER CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA AT 06Z TUESDAY.
BASING OUR FORECAST ON SURFACE FRONT NOT REACHING OUR NW COUNTIES OF
SOUTHEAST OHIO AROUND 12Z...THEN CKB-CRW LINE AROUND 18Z TUESDAY.
PLENTY OF LOW CLOUDS AND SHOWERS SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...WITH THE LOWER CLOUDS LINGERING OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS
COUNTIES THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...WHILE LIFTING IN THE OHIO VALLEY.
ISSUED FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR SOUTHERN CWA...WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
RADAR TRENDS IN CASE EXTENSION/EXPANSION IS NEEDED.
NO BIG CHANGES ON TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL BE THROUGH THE CWA TO START THE SHORT TERM...WITH
FRESHER AIR BEGINNING TO FILTER IN ON NORTHERLY FLOW.
HOWEVER...HANGING ON TO SOME SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE SHOWERS TUESDAY
NIGHT IN THE MID/UPPER LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION AND MOISTURE BACKED
UP AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS. ALSO HAVE TAIL OF A VORT MAX SLIDING
THROUGH BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z WED. MAY EVEN NEED TO LINGER SOME LOW
POPS LONGER...DEPENDING HOW LONG IT TAKES TO SCOUR OUT THAT BACKED
UP MOISTURE IN THE MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN THE FROM THE NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...HOWEVER
WITH UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LINGERING ACROSS EASTERN CANADA...WE COULD
STILL HAVE SOME HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS STREAM THROUGH ON NW FLOW. LOWER
LEVEL FLOW TURNS E/SE ACROSS VA AND EASTERN WV BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...SO WILL START TO SEE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BUILDING BACK
INTO THE MOUNTAINS LATE IN THE PERIOD.
HAVE DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE LOWER 50S...UPPER 40S AT HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS...WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AFTERNOON HIGHS SHOULD BE IN THE 70S
ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH 60S AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
EXPECT THURSDAY TO BE A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER THAN WEDNESDAY. LOWS
WILL BE 5-10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...WITH MID TO UPPER 50S ACROSS THE
LOWLANDS...AND SOME UPPER 40S SNEAKING INTO THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS...ESPECIALLY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE DRIEST AIR.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
FOLLOWED WPC THINKING WITH SOME TWEAKS. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. HOWEVER...MODEL CONSENSUS SUGGESTS A FEW MID-LEVEL
SHORTWAVES MAY TRACK EAST ACROSS THE AREA DURING THIS PERIOD.
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW/TROF IS THEN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TO OUR WEST ON
FRIDAY AND MOVE EAST LATE IN THE PERIOD.
EXPECT MAINLY DIURNAL PRECIP CHANCES WILL GIVE WAY TO BETTER CHANCES
STARTING SATURDAY...EXTENDING INTO MONDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HAVE COLD FRONT INTO SE OH BY 12Z...THEN REACHING TOWARD CKB TO
CRW 18-19Z TUESDAY.
HAVE INCREASE IN CONVECTION TONIGHT AHEAD OF SFC
FRONT...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND E OF OH RVR BY 06Z. HAVE GENERAL MVFR
CONDITIONS WITH THESE AND TEMPO IFR. OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...MVFR
FG/HZ THIS EVE WITH SOME MVFR STRATUS ABOUT.
CONDITIONS IMPROVING WITH FROPA ON TUES ALTHOUGH MVFR CIGS MAY BE
SOMEWHAT SLOW TO LIFT UNTIL AFTN. COULD BE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
ALONG FRONT IN MTNS IN AFTN BUT ELECTED TO KEEP OUT OF TAFS AT
THIS DISTANCE DUE TO CONFIDENCE LEVEL.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY...
