AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1110 AM EDT FRI APR 10 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AHEAD OF COLD
FRONT WHICH CROSSES MIDDAY. HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER COLD
FRONT FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1100 AM UPDATE...ALLOWED FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACROSS THE WEST TO
EXPIRE. STILL HAVE THE COLD FRONT RIGHT ALONG THE OHIO RIVER WITH
A VERY THIN LINE OF SHOWERS...HOWEVER DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO CAUSE
ANY NEW FLASH FLOODING ISSUES AS IT PROGRESSES EAST TODAY.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION DEVELOPING
WELL AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...ACROSS NORTHEAST
KY...AND SOUTHEAST OH EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE
QUICKLY NORTH NORTHEAST TO PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS...AND HEAVY
DOWNPOURS ALONG THEIR PATH. CODED HIGH LIKELY POPS WITH THIS
ACTIVITY. ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THESE AREAS AND MOVE AROUND 50 KNOTS INTO
WV THIS MORNING. ISOLATED STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE TODAY.
MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF THIS
CONVECTION IN THEIR QPF FIELDS.
LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW IS GENERALLY OUT OF THE SOUTH AT THE SFC
AROUND 10 KNOTS...SOUTHWEST...AROUND 50 KNOTS AT H850.
TRAINING OF SEVERAL STORMS COULD ISOLATED PRODUCE WATER PROBLEMS
ALONG LOW SPOTS AND SMALL CREEKS. KEPT PREVIOUS FLASH FLOOD
WATCH.
COLD FRONT ARRIVES TO WESTERN ZONES MID TO LATE THIS MORNING.
GFS/ECMWF ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR IN TIMING WITH THE FRONT...WHILE NAM
LAGS BEHIND A BIT. DID NOT CHANGE PREVIOUS FORECAST TIMING A WHOLE
LOT.
DRYING CONDITIONS EXPECTED SPREADING FROM WEST TO EAST LATER THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WITH SOME
LOW LEVEL CLOUDS LINGERING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN A DRY WEEKEND...
ALONG WITH A WARMING TREND. A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST
WILL BRING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR MONDAY.
MODELS ARE SLOWER WITH THE PRECIP LATE IN THE PERIOD...SO HAVE
SLOWED DOWN THE PRECIP CHANCES MONDAY. ALSO SOME QUESTION ON THE
POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR MONDAY. HAVE MAINTAINED SLIGHT
CHANCE OF STORMS IN THE FORECAST. BUT LACK OF ANY REAL INSTABILITY
IN THE MODELS SUGGESTS THUNDER...IF IT OCCURS AT ALL...WILL BE VERY
LIMITED IN COVERAGE.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE COOL SUNDAY NIGHT AS CENTER OF SURFACE
HIGH SHOULD BE NEARBY. CURRENTLY HAVE UPPER 20S ACROSS THE HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS...WITH 30S ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA,
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS DEPICT ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM MEANDERING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS
OUR REGION FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. WHILE SPECIFIC DETAILS MAY BE
DIFFERENT FOR EACH SYSTEM THAT RUNS ALONG THIS FRONT...THE GENERAL
SCENARIO IS FOR WARM...MOIST AND RELATIVELY UNSTABLE AIR IN PLACE
TO PRESENT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ANYTIME FOR MUCH OF
THE WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING RAPIDLY
NORTH NORTHEAST ACROSS THE OH VALLEY AND PORTIONS OF WV ALONG THE
OH RIVER. THIS CONVECTION IS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
LOCATED IL AND WESTERN KY. EXPECT PERIODS OF MVFR WITH STRONG
GUSTY WINDS PEAKING UP TO 30 KNOTS WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS.
BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR ARE POSSIBLE OVER HTS AND PKB THIS MORNING.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST TO AFFECT CRW AND OTHER
EASTERN SITES THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
BRIEF MVFR CIGS AND THEN VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL FOLLOW BEHIND
THE FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
