What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 8, 2:53 PM EDT, 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 2:53 PM EDT, 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
253 PM EDT TUE JUL 8 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK COLD FRONT PASSING NOW. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE BRINGS DRIER AIR TO THE REGION THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY..
ANOTHER SYSTEM LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND ON MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CONVECTION HAS FIRED ALONG A WEAK COLD FRONT THAT IS NOW PASSING
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FROM SPC...WINDS ARE
PRIMARILY THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE STORMS...ALTHOUGH BETTER
DYNAMICS ARE CLEARLY NORTH OF OUR CWA IN PITTSBURGH AND STATE
COLLEGE. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OVER THE NORTHERN ZONES NOT QUITE IN THE
40KT RANGE...AND HAS AN ORIENTATION THAT IS MORE PARALLEL TO THE
CURRENT LINE. THIS HINDERS THE WIND POTENTIAL SOMEWHAT.

BEHIND THE FRONT...SOME BRIEF STABILIZATION IS POSSIBLE...WHICH
COULD ERODE FROM THE MID LEVELS AGAIN INTO THE EVENING WHICH WOULD
ALLOW FOR A SECOND ROUND OF MORE ISOLATED CONVECTION THAN
ANYTHING. HAVE KEPT THE POPS LINGERING THROUGH THE CWA DURING THE
DAYTIME HEATING HOURS...EVEN BEHIND THE FRONT. DRY THE WESTERN
ZONES OUT OVERNIGHT.

DEWPOINTS STAY UP OVERNIGHT WITH MUGGY CONDITIONS
LINGERING...ESPECIALLY WHERE RAIN FALLS TODAY...WHICH WILL BE AT
MOST AREAS...ESPECIALLY THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA.

EXPECTING DIURNAL CUMULUS WEDNESDAY THAT MAY LOOK ROBUST AT
TIMES...BUT VERY LIMITED IN THE MOISTURE AVAILABLE ABOVE THE LOW
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. ISOLATED SHOWERS...OR A BRIEF STORM OR
TOW...CANNOT BE RULED OUT WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE
DAY/EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES WITH A BRIEF AMPLIFICATION OF
THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S. FOR THE END OF THE WORKWEEK.
THIS WILL BRING COOLER HIGH PRESSURE DOWN OVER THE AREA WITH DRY
WEATHER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. LOOK FOR TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO
MID 80S FOR HIGHS AND LOWS AROUND 60.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE NEXT SHORT WAVE AND COLD FRONT IN THE WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT WILL APPROACH FOR THE WEEKEND. OF COURSE...THERE ARE MODEL
DIFFERENCES IN THE EXACT TRACK AND ESPECIALLY THE TIMING OF THE
SYSTEM...BUT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS HAS THIS SYSTEM AFFECTING OUR
AREA MAINLY SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH INCREASING HEAT...HUMIDITY AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THIS LEAVES SATURDAY AS A TRANSITION DAY WITH DRY
WEATHER...BUT HEAT AND HUMIDITY BEGINNING TO INCREASE AS THE HIGH
SLIDES OFF THE COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LINE OF CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED QUICKLY AND WILL BE CROSSING THE
OHIO RIVER SOON. CKB...EKN...AND PKB ARE IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH...PRIMARILY FOR WIND...BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW WITH THE
APPROACHING LINE...WINDS ALOFT ARE PARALLEL TO THE LINE AS IT
MOVES TO THE EAST. THIS WILL HAMPER THE WIND GUSTS SOMEWHAT...SO
WILL KEEP TAF GUSTS BELOW 40KTS.

TIMING THE LINE IS USUALLY TRICKY...AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION.
TEMPOS WERE A NECESSITY TODAY BECAUSE OF THIS...BUT WORKED TO KEEP
THEM UNDER 2 HOURS.

MAY GET SOME REDEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...BUT THE
THREAT FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL RETURN.

WINDS WILL GUST OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST TO 25KTS. THERE WILL BE A
FRONTAL PASSAGE IN THE NEXT TWO HOURS...BUT THE WIND SHIFT WILL BE
MINIMAL TO NONE...AND IT SHOULD NOT AFFECT VELOCITIES AS MUCH AS
THE LINE OF STORMS.

GETTING INTO TONIGHT BECOMES CHALLENGING AS WELL. LOCALES
RECEIVING RAIN...AS TYPICAL...WILL HAVE A BETTER SHOT AT
FOG...ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS THE WIND MAY TRY TO STAY ABOVE CALM.
THIS WILL MAKE FOG/MIST DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONABLE...BUT THE
SYNOPTIC WIND MAY BE TRUMPED BY MESO HIGH AIR FROM CONVECTION
EARLIER IN THE PERIOD.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: LOW TO MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: CONFIDENCE IS HIGH WITH THE CONVECTIVE
OCCURRENCES...JUST NOT THE TIMING AS MUCH. FOG/MIST TONIGHT IS
ALSO IN QUESTION.
