INTO A MESO LOW OVER S PA/NE WV WITH A TAIL LIKE FEATURE EXTENDING
SW INTO N KY. THIS HAS BEEN THE FOCUS FOR INCREASING CONVECTION
PAST FEW HRS. INSTABILITY REMAINS LIMITED ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS
BOUNDARY. HOWEVER DYNAMICS REMAIN STRONG WITH LOW LEVEL JET ON THE
ORDER OF 50 KTS IN PLACE ALONG WITH SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR.

MB VORT MAXIMUM SWINGS THROUGH ABOUT 03Z ACROSS NRN WV.

STRONG HELICITY IN THE 400 TO 500 RANGE IN THE FIRST 2 TO 3
KILOMETERS. IN THE LOW LEVELS WITH SOUTH WINDS VEERING. SO CELLS WILL
LIKELY SHOW LOW LEVEL ROTATION. YET BUOYANCY IS LIMITED.

KEEPING POPS IN THE 60 TO 80 PERCENT RANGE FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO EARLY EVENING.

HAVE SURFACE FRONT PASSING 03Z TO 06Z...WITH CLEARING IN ITS WAKE.
DID HOLD ONTO SOME LOWER CLOUDS.  STILL THINKING WINDS SUFFICIENT TO
PREVENT MUCH FOG AT DAWN...JUST A BIT IN THE DEEPER VALLEYS IN SRN
WV S OF CRW.

STILL PLEASANT DAY PICTURED ON WEDNESDAY.  NO MAJOR CHANGES IN
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
BRIEF PERIOD OF DRIER WEATHER WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BRIEFLY BUILDS INTO THE REGION. ACTIVE WEATHER HOWEVER WILL
RETURN LATER IN THE DAY THURSDAY...AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED
WITH LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST U.S. MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE
REGION. THIS...ALONG WITH MULTIPLE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING
ALONG THE FRONT...WILL TRIGGER ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...WITH HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE AT TIMES WITH ANY STORMS.
THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY BETWEEN MODELS CONCERNING PLACEMENT OF
FRONT/TRACK OF WAVES ACROSS THE AREA...BUT CONTINUED TO LEAN MORE
TOWARDS THE ECMWF/HPC SOLUN...KEEPING HIGHER POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
USED WPC THINKING WITH SOME MINOR TWEAKS.  PERIOD WILL START WITH
FRONT JUST TO OUR SOUTH.  THIS FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE
REGION SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTS
INTO THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.

WPC TEMPS LOOKED GOOD AND WERE GENERALLY USED.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STRONG MID LEVEL 500 MB DISTURBANCE WHIPS THROUGH 00Z TO 03Z
WEDNESDAY/THIS EVENING.  850 MB FLOW JET MAX OF 50 TO 55 KNOTS AHEAD
OF THIS FEATURE.  VEERING OF LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL CAUSE SOME
CONVECTIVE CELLS TO BE ROTATING.

STILL EXPECTED WIDESPREAD FAST MOVING CONVECTION TO MOVE THRU S
WV/SW VA THIS EVENING.

WIDESPREAD CEILINGS 2 TO 3 THSD FT AND VSBY AOB 3 MILES IN ANY
CONVECTION.   SOME CEILINGS 1 TO 2 THSD FT LINGERING OVER MOUNTAINS
IN WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT.

OTHERWISE EXPECT DRIER AIR TO QUICKLY CHARGE OUR WAY WITH MAINLY
