AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
605 PM EDT WED MAY 28 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS THROUGH
THURSDAY. DRIER AIR FILTERS SOUTH BY LATE FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE
FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
6PM UPDATE...JUST A FEW TWEAKS TO THE GRIDS...BASED ON CURRENT
CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES DROPPING SEVERAL DEGREES AT SOME SPOTS
THAT HAVE RECEIVED PRECIPITATION. GENERALLY AN INCH TO AN INCH AND
A HALF OF PRECIPITATION OBSERVED SO FAR ACROSS NORTHERN WV AND
ADJACENT OHIO COUNTIES THIS EVENING. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR
POTENTIAL WATER ISSUES.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
A WARM...VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE IN PLACE WITH
WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. A COLD FRONT TO OUR NORTH WILL SLOWLY
DROP SOUTH LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY INTO OUR AREA UNDER THIS WEAK
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...AND INTERACT WITH THIS SUMMER LIKE
ATMOSPHERE. THE MODELS ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT ON THE FRONT
WHICH WILL TOUCH OUR NORTHERN BORDER THIS EVENING...THEN STRUGGLE
SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE NORTH TONIGHT...POSSIBLY DISSIPATING OVER THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA DURING THURSDAY. IN ANY
CASE...REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FRONT THURSDAY...THE
DEEPER MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE SOUTHWARD WITH MOST OF THE
CONVECTION INTO SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS BY THURSDAY EVENING AS
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN. OUTSIDE OF THE DIURNAL
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THE BEST CHANCE OF ORGANIZED
STORMS WILL BE AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE NORTH TONIGHT...AND
INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS THURSDAY. WITH HEAVY RAIN
POTENTIAL OVER A RELATIVELY LONG PERIOD OF TIME...THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH THURSDAY. QPF MAY BE HIGHLY VARIABLE AND
DEPENDS ON THE EVOLUTION AND PROGRESS OF THE CONVECTION.

FOR TEMPERATURES...CONTINUE TO GO ON THE HIGH SIDE TONIGHT WITH ALL
THE MOISTURE...AND ACTUALLY LEANING ON THE COOLER SIDE NORTH
THURSDAY WITH ALL THE CLOUDS AND CONVECTION. SEEMS THE BETTER COLD
ADVECTION LAGS BEHIND THE FRONT...AND NOT MUCH OF A FACTOR IN THE
NORTH THURSDAY FOR COOLING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING SLOWLY SOUTHEAST THURSDAY
NIGHT...WITH THE BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH OF OUR AREA BETWEEN
12 TO 15 UTC FRIDAY. AS THIS FEATURE PUSHES SOUTHEAST...EXPECT
PRECIP CHANCES AND ANY HEAVY RAIN THREAT WILL ALSO PUSH SOUTHEAST.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FRIDAY WITH PRECIP CHANCES COMING
TO AN END REGION-WIDE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.  SATURDAY SHOULD BE
DRY...WITH TEMPERATURES REMAINING ABOVE NORMAL.

MET/MAV NUMBERS LOOK REASONABLE AND ARE CLOSE TO PREVIOUS FORECASTED
HIGHS/LOWS...SO WILL GENERALLY BE FOLLOWED.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
GENERALLY WENT WITH WPC THINKING WITH SOME TWEAKS. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST...ALLOWING A FRONT TO APPROACH FROM THE
NORTHWEST. SEVERAL MID-LEVEL FEATURES ARE ALSO FORECAST TO PUSH
EAST ACROSS THE AREA.

AS A RESULT...DRY CONDITIONS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL GIVE WAY TO CHANCES
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.

WPC TEMPS LOOK GOOD...BUT MADE SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO MATCH UP BETTER
WITH THE NEIGHBORS.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
18Z WEDNESDAY THRU 18Z THURSDAY...
LOTS OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY IN THE ATMOSPHERE...WITH A COLD
FRONT SLOWLY DROPPING SOUTHEASTWARD THRU THE AREA THURSDAY.

RELATIVE LULL IN THE ACTIVITY. GENERALLY BECOMING MVFR IN THE MORE
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION NORTH 06Z TO 12Z...REMAINING VFR IN THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTH. FOG WILL BE AN ISSUE 06Z TO 13Z IN AREAS THAT
RECEIVE RAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SO WILL INTRODUCE MVFR FOG
FOR NOW.
