AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
227 PM EDT SAT JUL 6 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LEVEL LOW COMES BACK FROM THE WEST SUNDAY. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
COMMENCES FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
SENT A QUICK UPDATE TO ADJUST POPS MAINLY ACROSS THE WEST KEEPING
LIKELY POPS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OH...RANGING TO SLIGHT CHANCE OVER
EASTERN MOUNTAINS THROUGH TONIGHT.
TWEAKED HOURLY POPS PER CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE WEST AND BREAKS IN
THE SKIES TO THE EAST.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS BELOW...
UPDATE...
ADJUSTED THE POPS FOR THE BATCH OF SHOWERS PUSHING NORTHWARD
THROUGH THE TRI STATE AREA. OTHERWISE...NO MAJOR CHANGES AND JUST
GAVE THE TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS SOME TLC.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MODELS NOW KEEPING THE UPPER LEVEL FORCING ELEMENTS FAR ENOUGH TO
THE WEST THAT AN OVERALL LOWERING OF THE POPS IS WARRANTED THROUGH
THE CWA TODAY...TO A POINT. THERMODYNAMICS STILL THE MAIN DRIVER IN
THIS SET UP WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW REMAINING TO THE WEST...AND
MORE THAN ENOUGH MOISTURE CONTINUING TO STREAM NORTHWARD FROM THE
GULF OF MEXICO. PERCEPTIBLE WATER VALUES STILL PEGGED ON THE HIGH
END PUSHING 2 INCHES. DUE TO THE PERSISTENCE OF THE PATTERN...DID
NOT END UP MAKING A LOT OF CHANGES TO THE FORECAST PACKAGE.
UPPER LEVEL LOW ANCHORED OVER THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL
FINALLY LIFT OUT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL BRING MID LEVEL
DEFORMATION INTO THE CWA SATURDAY NIGHT...AND WILL SEE POPS RAMP UP
DURING THIS TIME.
KEEP WITH THE TREND OF WESTERN ZONES IN THE LOWLANDS A FEW DEGREES
OFF THE PACE OF THE EASTERN LOWLANDS GIVEN THE HIGHER CLOUD COVER.
WILL SEE A BIT MORE SUN TODAY...AND NOTCHED THE TEMPERATURES UP A
DEGREE OR TWO SOUTH/EAST OF THE OHIO RIVER.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
MONDAY MODELS SHOW SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES WHICH WILL MAKE THE
FORECAST A TAD DIFFICULT. FOR NOW LEANING TOWARDS THE SLOWER
NGM SOLUTION AS MOST MODELS WERE TRENDING SLOWER AS WELL. UPPER
LOW WILL SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT PUSHING MOST OF
THE MOISTURE EAST DURING THE DAY MONDAY. QUESTION IS STILL HOW
MUCH MOISTURE WILL WRAP AROUND AS IT LIFTS EASTWARD. KEEPING THIS
IN MIND...MONDAY WON'T BE AS DRY AS PREVIOUS FORECASTS. PRETTY
MUCH TRIED TO KEEP POPS TIMED CLOSE TO THE NGM SOLUTION. TEMPERATURES
WILL TREND A DEGREE OR TOO COOLER AS WELL WITH MORE CLOUDS AND
PRECIP AROUND.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY AS
WEAK IMPULSES TRAVERSE THROUGH THE AREA IN THE ZONAL FLOW. MUCH OF THE
ACTIVE WEATHER SHOULD DIMINISH BEHIND A COLD FRONT ON
THURSDAY...WHICH WILL BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES. TEMPS ARE
BLEND OF CURRENT GUIDANCE AND EXISTING GRIDS.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE MOST PART THROUGH THE PERIOD.
HOWEVER...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION COULD PRODUCE BRIEF
PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS ALONG THE HEAVIEST SHOWERS. DIFFICULT TO
PIN POINT EXACT LOCATION OF CONVECTION THROUGH THE EVENING. MANAGE
TO INCLUDE TEMPO GROUPS AND VCTS IN THE EXTENDED TAF.
SHOWERS OR STORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY DURING
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS SUNDAY...09Z...FROM WEST TO EAST. MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE HEAVIER SHOWERS.
PLENTY OF CLOUDINESS SHOULD KEEP THE FOG OUT TONIGHT.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM TO HIGH.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING AND LOCATION OF CONVECTION MAY
NECESSITATE TEMPOS/AMENDMENTS.
