NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 11, 6:13 PM EDT, 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 11, 6:13 PM EDT, 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
613 PM EDT MON MAY 11 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA THRU THIS EVENING.
COLD FRONT CROSSES EARLY TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES FOR MID WEEK. ANOTHER SYSTEM FOR FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
UPDATED POPS TO CATEGORICAL TO ACCOUNT FOR STRONG LINE OF STORMS
EVIDENT ON RADAR CRUISING EAST NORTHEAST MAINLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. IN ADDITION...HEADLINES FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH WERE EXTENDED EAST.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW...
MODELS PUSH A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...PRECEDED BY A
PREFRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH. THIS SURFACE TROUGH WILL BE THE MAIN
FOCUS FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION WITH THIS SYSTEM...NOT MUCH
CONVECTION WITH THE FRONT ITSELF AS MUCH OF THE MOISTURE WILL BE
SWEPT OUT AHEAD OF IT. EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE DYNAMICS WILL LIFT
NORTH AND WEST OF THE AREA...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND
SHEAR FOR A FEW OF THE STORMS TO BE SEVERE IN THE WESTERN PORTION
OF THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE SURFACE TROUGH. BEST POPS WILL BE IN THE NORTH AND WEST. ANY
SEVERITY WILL DECREASE THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF HEATING. THE
FRONT ITSELF WILL BE ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER AROUND MIDNIGHT AND
EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS BEFORE DAWN TUESDAY. THUS...WILL END THE
POPS BY 12Z TUESDAY. GOOD COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
KEEP CLOUDS INTO TUESDAY MORNING...BUT WILL BREAK UP FROM WEST TO
EAST TO ALLOW SUNSHINE MOST AREAS BY EARLY AFTERNOON. TEMPS WILL
BE MUCH COOLER WITH READINGS GETTING BACK TO NEAR TO SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
RATHER QUITE SHORT TERM PERIOD WITH HIGH PRESSURE PASSING TO THE
NORTH...AND AN UPPER RIDGE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. EXPECT
TEMPERATURES AT TO JUST BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND THEN WARMING UP AGAIN ON THURSDAY. CURRENT
GUIDANCE KEEPS US ABOVE FROST LEVELS...BUT MAY NEED TO WATCH FOR THE
POTENTIAL IN THE TYPICALLY COOLER LOW SPOTS. BLENDED IN THE MET FOR
LOWS...AND USED A CONSENSUS BLEND FOR HIGHS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
TRENDED TOWARD WPC GUIDANCE FOR THE LONG TERM...ALTHOUGH DID STAY A
BIT HIGHER ON POPS FOR THE WEEKEND. WHILE DETAILS ARE SOMEWHAT MUDDY
IN THE MODELS...BOTH GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH
PRECIP FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OVERALL PATTERN APPEARS TO BE A
DIRTY UPPER LEVEL RIDGE...WITH A SLOWLY MEANDERING OR STATIONARY
SURFACE BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
18Z MONDAY THRU 18Z TUESDAY...
A PREFRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT. WHILE EXACT
TIMING IS DIFFICULT AS THE FEATURES LOSE DEFINITION...BOTH FEATURES
WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA PRIOR TO 12Z TUESDAY. OTHER THAN A THIN
BAND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG THE PREFRONTAL SURFACE
TROUGH...MAINLY WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE THE
RULE AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES...EXCEPT MORE NUMEROUS IN THE HIGHER
MOUNTAIN ELEVATIONS DURING MAX AFTERNOON HEATING. BUT STILL NOT
CONFIDENT TO GO PREVAILING THUNDER IN EKN AND BKW THIS AFTERNOON.

BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVERNIGHT...MVFR CEILINGS WILL
OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST. THESE WILL THEN BREAK UP
FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY MORNING AS DRIER AIR FILTERS IN.
HOWEVER...WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY TO OVER 20 MPH FROM THE WEST BY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION MAY VARY BY
2-3 HOURS...ALONG WITH ONSET OF MVFR CEILINGS TONIGHT BEHIND THE
FRONT.
