AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1006 PM EST FRI DEC 25 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
ONE WAVE EXITS EAST THIS AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERS
TONIGHT. FRONT MOVES NORTH ON SATURDAY...THE OSCILLATES IN VICINITY
INTO MONDAY. COLDER AIR MID WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
1000PM UPDATE...
MUCH QUIETER THIS EVENING AS CREEKS AND STREAMS RECEDE. WILL NEED
TO MONITOR THE ELK RIVER OVERNIGHT.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
THE WAVE ALONG THE FRONT DUMPED .75 TO 1.6 INCHES 12Z TO 18Z ALONG THE
INTERSTATE 64 FROM NE KY TO CHARLESTON VICINITY...THEN LIFTING
AND WEAKENING A BIT TOWARD ELKINS AT 18Z. ONGOING FLOOD WARNINGS THRU
AFTERNOON ALONG THIS ENHANCEMENT. THE LARGER STREAMS WILL STILL BE HIGH
AS THE RAIN DIMINISHED 18Z TO 21Z THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS TRY TO HIGHLIGHT
SOUTHERN COUNTIES IN TOWARD DICKENSON AND BUCHANAN COUNTIES NEXT FEW HOURS.
A LULL IN THE RAIN SHOULD MOVE EAST...FROM EASTERN KENTUCKY...
BUT CAN NOT REMOVE CHANGE OF SHOWERS. WILL BRING MORE SUPPORT AND RAIN
BACK FROM THE SOUTHWEST 06Z TO 12Z SATURDAY...THEN LIFT INTO OHIO...WHERE
RAINS HAVE BEEN LESS TODAY...BUT WERE MORE THERE
WEDNESDAY EVENING DEC 23RD...SO NO REASON TO REMOVE THE ONGOING FLOOD
WATCH.
PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SCUD CLOUDS...SO HARD TO FORECAST VSBY FOR
AVIATION LET ALONG THE PUBLIC. FIGURING MOSTLY IN THE 1 TO 2 MILE RANGE
OVERNIGHT WITH THE LINGERING CLOUDS.
NOT MUCH TIME TO FINETUNE HOURLY TEMP TRACE...SO NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE
INTO SATURDAY. DID COOL DOWN EXTREME HIGH TERRAIN A BIT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AREA SHOULD BECOME FIRMLY ENTRENCHED IN WARM SECTOR SATURDAY NIGHT
BUT THE FRONTAL ACTION NOT TOO FAR OFF TO THE NW. THE FRONT WILL
TRY TO SAG BACK INTO THE AREA AS SUNDAY PROGRESSES...HANGING UP
PERHAPS JUST S OF THE AREA. MODELS DONT SEEM TO BE TOO IMPRESSED
WITH QPF WITH THIS AS IT MAKES ANOTHER PASS THRU. THERE SHOULD BE
A SIGNIFICANT TEMP GRADIENT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME HEATING
SUNDAY SE OF THE OH RIVER. IT NOW LOOKS LIKE SUNDAY WILL BE THE
WARMEST OF THE WEEKEND WITH HIGHS E OF THE OH RIVER MAKING A RUN
INTO THE LOWER TO PERHAPS MID 70S ESPECIALLY OVER THE COAL FIELDS.
MONDAY WILL FEATURE THIS PESKY BOUNDARY RETURNING N ONCE AGAIN AS
A WARM FRONT IN RESPONSE TO AN ORGANIZING SYSTEM EJECTING OUT OF
THE S PLAINS. THERE MAY BE SOME SHRA WITH THE WARM FRONT...BUT
AGAIN...MODELS ARE NOT THAT KEEN ON HIGH QPF OVER OUR CWA. FLOW
WILL BE INCREASING QUITE A BIT WITH SE DOWNSLOPING FLOW INCREASING
TO NEAR 40 KTS BY LATE AFTERNOON. SO MONDAY MAY ANOTHER WARM ONE
OVER THE AREA.
LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES ITS TREK NE MONDAY NIGHT...INTO THE W LAKES
WITH AN OVERALL VERTICALLY STACKED SYSTEM. THIS WILL DRIVE A
STRONG COLD FRONT THRU LATE WITH AN AREA OF MODERATE TO
POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN. ANOTHER CONCERN IS POTENTIAL FOR STRONG
WINDS WITHIN THE FRONTAL BAND GIVEN HOW STRONG THE LLJ IS PEGGED
TO BE. WE WILL MONITORING THE POTENTIAL STRONG WINDS AS THE FRONT
PASSES.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ONE MORE SYSTEM TO DEAL WITH MIDWEEK BUT AFTER THAT...WE WILL
FINALLY SEE THIS MESS CLEAR OUT OF HERE WITH MUCH COLDER AIR
WORKING IN TO END 2015 WITH PERIODS SHSN BY WEEKS END. DESPITE
THE LAST MINUTE CHILL TO END DECEMBER...THE MONTH WILL PROBABLY
STILL END UP AS THE WARMEST ON RECORD AT SOME OF OUR CLIMATE
SITES.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ATMOSPHERE IS TOTALLY WORKED OVER FROM THE EARLY RAIN TODAY. HAVE
PLENTY OF GROUND MOISTURE IN PLACE TO SUPPORT VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS DESPITE CLOUD DECKS IN PLACE. BULK OF THE RAIN IS OUT
OF THE AREA...BUT STILL CARRY IT HERE AND THERE IN THE
TAF...DEPENDING ON THE SITE.
DID FIND A PARAMETER TO POSSIBLY GRAB ONTO FOR THE CEILINGS IN THE
TAFS. 925MB FRONT IS STALLED JUST WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS. HTS AND
PKB...CURRENTLY BELOW 500FT CEILINGS...ARE ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF
THIS BOUNDARY IN A MORE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW. TO THE SOUTH OF THE
925MB FRONT...WARM AIR ADVECTION IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IS TAKING
PLACE. IN THE LATTER SITES...MAY SEE SOME HIGH END MVFR CEILINGS
ABOVE 2500FT...BUT COULD STAY VFR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT.
CONDITIONS IMPROVE OVERALL AS THE FRONT LIFTS NORTH.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: LOW.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: HIGHLY VARIABLE CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES IN
THE SATURATED LOW LEVELS. SO OBSERVATIONS COULD VARY MORE THAN
FORECAST.
