Area forecast discussion, Nov 1, 1:42 AM EDT, 1 hour 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
142 AM EDT FRI NOV 1 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY. COLD FRONT TONIGHT WITH GUSTY SHOWERS.
COOLER FOR THE WEEKEND...WITH A REINFORCING FRONT SATURDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
130 AM UPDATE...
ACTIVE WEATHER CURRENTLY ONGOING. SVR THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA WAS ISSUED RECENTLY MAINLY FOR STRONG WIND
POTENTIAL...WITH VERY LITTLE LIGHTNING BEING OBSERVED AS EXPECTED.
OBSERVATIONS TO THE WEST OF OUR AREA ARE ON THE MARGINAL SIDE
WITH RESPECT TO SEVERE STRONG WIND CRITERIA...MAINLY AROUND THE
50MPH RANGE. YET NUMEROUS REPORTS BEING RECEIVED IN THOSE AREAS OF
WIND DAMAGE. MAIN LINE OF SHOWERS NOW ENTERING INTO OUR SE OHIO
ZONES. SHOULD CONTINUE MARCHING QUICKLY EASTWARD...ROUGHLY OVER
OUR CENTRAL ZONES BY 07Z- 08Z...AND INTO OUR EASTERN MOUNTAIN
ZONES BY THE 09Z- 10Z TIME FRAME. CONSIDERED AN UPGRADE OF THE
CURRENT WIND ADVISORY TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR POCAHONTAS AND
RANDOLPH COUNTIES...BUT DECIDED TO LET THE ADVISORY WITH GUSTS TO
50MPH AND CURRENT SVR WATCH HANDLE ANY STRONGER GUSTS AT THIS
TIME.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MADE A FEW CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. ADDED IN A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDER LATER TONIGHT...AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND
MOVES THROUGH THE CWA. IN ADDITION...INCREASED WINDS SLIGHTLY FROM
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE LOWLANDS...BASED
ON CURRENT OBSERVATIONS JUST TO THE WEST OF CWA OUT AHEAD OF
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. OTHERWISE...MADE NO MAJOR CHANGES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
RAIN SHWRS INCRG IN CVRG TDA AS VERY STRONG TROF IN SRN PLNS LIFTS
NEWD TWD THE GRTLKS RGN TNGT. OCNL SHWRS WILL CONT THIS EVE AS
LOW-LVL JET OF 70-80 KT PROVIDES IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE ADVCTN INTO
THE RGN. WHILE IT MAY NOT RAIN CONSTANTLY THRU EARLY EVE...SHWRS
CAN BE XPCD PERIODICALLY MOST ZONES.

RAIN CVRG WILL BCM MORE WDSPRD OVNGT AS CDFNT APRCHS AND UPR
FORCING INCRS. A NARROW LINE OF CNVCTN IS XPCD TO FORM ALONG THE
FRONT AND WILL MOVE ACRS ENTIRE FCST AREA LATE TNGT. CATEGORICAL
POPS WERE CONTD OVNGT...WITH LOW CHCS FOR TSRA INCLUDED WITH
PASSAGE OF CDFNT OWING TO MODEST ELEVATED INSTBY. ALTHOUGH CAPE
PROFILES ARE NOT DP...CLD TOPS MAY BE SUFFICIENTLY ABV FRZG LVL TO
YIELD ICE CRYSTALS.

APART FROM RAIN...WIND WILL BE ANOTHER ISSUE. TIGHT PRES GRADIENT
AND VERY STRONG KINEMATICS SUGGEST GUSTY WINDS A STRONG PSBLTY.
THERMODYNAMICS DO NOT FAVOR MIXING OF THESE STRONG WINDS ALOFT TO
THE GROUND...BUT MDT-HVY PCPN COULD TRANSPORT SOME OF THIS
MOMENTUM DOWNWARD.

MTNS MOST LKLY AREA TO EXPERIENCE HIGHEST GUSTS...WHERE WIND ADZY
RMNS IN EFFECT TNGT. GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 KT ARE XPCD AS H9 FLOW
INCRS CONSIDERABLY.

PCPN WILL BE EXITING ERN ZONES FRI MRNG. CLD CVR WILL RMN QUITE
ABUNDANT IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL BNDRY OWING TO MSTR PRESENCE
AND STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AMID COLD AIR ADVCTN. STRATOCU MAY BGN
TO ERODE LATE IN THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A SECONDARY CDFNT WILL MOVE SEWD SAT NGT FROM THE GRTLKS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A SHRTWV TROF. COLDER AIR WILL ACCOMPANY THIS
WAVE...BUT WILL ARRIVE AFTER DEPARTURE OF LGT PCPN SAT AFTN AND
EVE.

IN THE WAKE OF THE CDFNT...STEEP LAPSE RATES AND MSTR FETCH FROM
THE LAKES WILL ACTIVATE THE UPSLP PCPN MACHINE...WITH RAIN SHWRS
XPCD SAT NGT ALONG WEST-FACING SLOPES OF THE MTNS. HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS MAY BE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW SHWRS SAT NGT...BUT ONLY A
BRIEF WINDOW FOR PCPN BFR INVERSION HEIGHTS DROP SHOULD LMT
ACCUMS.

SFC RDG BUILDS INTO THE RGN ON SUN...BRINGING WINDS TO LGT NLY.
DRY AIR WILL INVADE...WHICH WILL HELP ERODE ANY CLDS AND SUPPRESS
ANY LINGERING PCPN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
WRN CONUS TROF AND ERN CONUS RDG WILL CHARACTERIZE THE H5 PATTERN
THRU EARLY-MID WK. RDG AXIS ALOFT AND SFC HIPRES WILL SUPPRESS
PCPN THRU FCST AREA MON-TUE.

AS SFC HIPRES MOVES INTO THE ATLC...RETURN FLOW WILL PROMOTE
MODEST UPSLP FLOW E OF THE MTNS. VERY LGT PCPN MAY IMPACT THE ERN
RDGS TUE NGT-WED...BUT FLOW WILL BE DOWNSLOPE FOR MOST OF THE
FCST AREA.

THE WRN CONUS TROF WILL PROGRESS EWD BY MID-WK. VERY STRONG FLOW
/WITH SLY H9 FLOW OF 40-50 KT/ WILL DVLP AHEAD OF THIS WAVE...
WHICH WILL TRANSPORT MSTR NWD INTO THE GRTLKS RGN. A VERY STRONG
CDFNT ALSO IS XPCD TO PROGRESS EWD THRU OHVLY INTO WV DURG THIS
TIME.

MEXMOS ALREADY IS PROVIDING A VERY STRONG SIGNAL FOR A WET WED NGT
OR THU. ECMWF IS SLOWER...BUT ALSO WAS SLOWER WITH THE CURRENT
SYSTEM AND EVENTUALLY CAUGHT UP TO THE GFS. A WINDY AND RAINY MID-
WK CAN BE XPCD FOR WV WITH COOLER TEMPS BY LATE IN THE WK.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
06Z FRIDAY THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY...

COLD FRONT WITH STRONG LINE OF SHOWERS/WINDS CURRENTLY PUSHING
INTO SE OHIO AT THIS TIME. THIS LINE WILL MARCH ACROSS THE
AREA...ROUGHLY LOCATED PKB-HTS AROUND 07Z...CRW AROUND 07Z-
08Z...AND EASTERN TERMINALS BY AND AFTER 08Z. STRONG GUSTY WINDS
UPWARDS OF 40-50KTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS LINE OF SHOWERS.
ADDITIONALLY...WHILE RELATIVELY STRONG WINDS AT THE SURFACE MAY
PRECLUDE THE TECHNICAL DEFINITION OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR...SUSTAINED
WINDS OFF-SFC OF AROUND 50-70KTS MAY CREATE VERY TURBULENT
CONDITIONS MAINLY BETWEEN 06Z-12Z THIS MORNING.

BEHIND THE FRONT...EXPECT IFR/LIFR CIGS...PARTICULARLY BETWEEN
06Z-13Z...GRADUALLY LIFTING TO VFR ACROSS LOWLANDS AFTER 16Z...AND
