AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1015 PM EDT MON JUL 8 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH WEDNESDAY BRINGS MORE CONVECTION. A COLD
FRONT PUSHES SOUTHEAST LATE THURSDAY. DRIER AIR FOR FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS HAVE PRODUCED A LARGE AREA OF 2 TO 2.5 INCHES
OF RAIN JUST WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH VERY LOW FFG GUIDANCE
IN SOME AREAS /LESS THAN 1 INCH IN 3 HOURS AROUND ATHENS/ AND MODELS
SHOWING PLENTY MORE PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT...FEEL THAT A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH IS PRUDENT FOR COUNTIES IN THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASING AGAIN TOWARD 2 INCHES TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WILL REMAIN THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WILL ADD THE FLASH FLOOD
THREAT BACK INTO OUR HAZARDOUS WEATHER POTENTIAL FROM TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY MORNING.
POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS BECOMING ORIENTED ALONG THE FLOW.
ALSO...WILL ADD A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO EVENING...BUT THINKING THERE WILL BE SHOWERS AND
CLOUDS AROUND WEDNESDAY MORNING THAT WILL AFFECT THAT SEVERE RISK.
MAIN SUPPORT OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT REMAINS TO OUR NORTHWEST...BUT
CONCERNED ABOUT SMALL CLUSTERS FORMING OR MOVING INTO OUR CWA FROM
THE WEST OVERNIGHT...IN THE MUGGY OVERNIGHT AIR. NAM SHOWS SOME 500
MB VORT MAXIMUMS TRYING TO MOVE EAST THROUGH EASTERN KENTUCKY
OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT. FLOW WILL BE WEAKER FROM HTS-CRW ON SOUTH
TUESDAY NIGHT.
BASING THE FORECAST ON THE DEEPER MOISTURE STARTING TO EXIT THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT AS IS FREQUENTLY THE CASE IN THE DOG DAYS...WILL
HOLD ONTO SOME CHANCE POPS UNTIL THE SURFACE FRONT. THINKING THE
FRONT WILL REACH TOWARD CKB-CRW AROUND 21Z THURSDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
WITH 500 RIDGE BUILDING EAST INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...SAY
STL VCNTY...DRIER AIR SHOULD FINALLY REACH US THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. CERTAINLY NEED SOME TIME TO DRY OUT.
THE FRONT SHOULD BEGIN TO WASH OUT OVER THE PIEDMONT OF NORTH
CAROLINA BY FRIDAY. THE BIT QUESTION BECOMES...IF AND HOW QUICKLY
THE DEEPER MOISTURE CREEPS BACK WEST OR NORTHWEST. THE FLOW ALOFT
MAY BECOME SO LIGHT...THAT WE REMAIN DRIER LONGER.
WILL TRY TO BE SLOWER INCREASING POPS ESPECIALLY N OF CRW. HAVE SOME
LIKELY POPS ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES FROM SOUTHERN POCAHONTAS TO SW
VIRGINIA BY SUNDAY.
TRIED TO WARM MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES UP INTO THE MID AND UPPER 80S BY
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY FOR THE WESTERN LOWLANDS.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SOME EVENING CONVECTION WILL CAUSE SOME RESTRICTIONS ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA.
A DISTURBANCE WILL THEN PUSH SOME CLOUDS AND SHOWERS INTO EAST
CENTRAL OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA AGAIN LATER TONIGHT AND INTO
TUESDAY. DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD
PROCEED FURTHER SOUTH. RESTRICTIONS SHOULD GENERALLY BE CONFINED TO
THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING AND EXTENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
