AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
249 AM EDT SAT JUL 18 2015

.SYNOPSIS...

HOT AND HUMID FOR THE WEEKEND. SOME AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE.  COLD FRONT IN VICINITY EARLY IN WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

NAM DOES NOT HAVE THE COMPLEX MOVING THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING...SO
NOT SURE THAT THE MOISTURE FIELDS ARE REPRESENTATIVE AT LATER TIMES.
THEREFORE WILL RELY MORE ON THE HRRR AND THE GFS WHICH HANDLE THE
COMPLEX A BIT BETTER...THOUGH NOT PERFECTLY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
SOME THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...BUT DRY AIR PUNCHING IN FROM THE WEST
WILL LIMIT ACTIVITY TO THE MOUNTAINS BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
DRY AIR WILL ALSO CAP THE AREA DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
HOURS. WITH THE MOIST GROUND...MET MOS LOOKS WAY TO HIGH FOR TODAYS
HIGHS. WILL STAY CLOSER TO THE GFS MOS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... A VERY SIMILAR DAY AS TODAY
IS EXPECTED ON SUNDAY WITH JUST AN ISOLATED SHOT A SHOWER OR STORM
AND MAINLY OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN. BY SUNDAY EVENING...A S/W TROF AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MAKE A RUN INTO THE AREA WITH A LINE OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE ON THE STRONG SIDE OVER SE
OH. HAVE SOME LIKELY POPS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT UNTIL
THE TROF CAN PASS AND THE FRONT SLIP S. WHILE THE UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE PASSES SAFELY THRU...THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID FOR THE
SURFACE BOUNDARY WHICH WILL RETURN N INTO THE AREA LATE MONDAY AND
BECOME NEARLY QUASI STATIONARY. THIS COMBINED WITH GOOD INSTABILITY
AND SOME PERTURBATIONS IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW...MEANS A RENEWED
FLASH FLOOD THREAT MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

THINK BEST SHOT OF REACHING HEAT ADV CRITERIA ON SUNDAY WOULD
GENERALLY BE ALONG AND S OF I64. OTHERWISE...UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S
COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 70S MEANS HEAT INDICES IN THE MID
TO UPPER 90S.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA ON MONDAY. THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ON MONDAY...BUT THIS
IS STILL UP IN THE AIR A BIT...AND WILL RELY SOMEWHAT ON TIMING OF
FRONT. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL EVENTUALLY STALL OUT ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA BRIEFLY...BEFORE SAGGING SOUTH LATER IN
THE DAY ON TUESDAY. HOWEVER...ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE AREA
MID TO LATE WEEK. THUS...HEADING INTO YET ANOTHER WET
PERIOD...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR CONTINUED WATER PROBLEMS.
HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWO.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE REMAINS OF A COMPLEX WILL MOVE THROUGH EASTERN KY...SOUTHERN
WV...AND SOUTHWESTERN VA EARLY THIS MORNING. SOME HEAVIER
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRIEFLY CAUSE SOME IFR OR MVFR CONDITIONS...BUT
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME.

A CUMULUS DECK WILL THEN FORM ON SATURDAY...STARTING A BIT LOWER
THAN NORMAL DUE TO THE HIGH HUMIDITY. SOME SCATTERED AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS. THESE ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS DRY AIR WILL PUSH IN
FROM THE WEST.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: HIGH.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS...DUE TO THE SCATTERED AND LIMITED NATURE OF ANY
IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING...THESE CONDITIONS
ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BKW TAF...JUST LIGHTER PRECIPITATION.

AFTER 06Z SUNDAY...

IFR IN MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS/STORMS SUNDAY NIGHT OR MONDAY NEAR
FRONT.

&&

.RLX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WV...NONE.
OH...NONE.
KY...NONE.
VA...NONE.
