FAIRLY UNIFORM CU FIELD OVER THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON WITH MOIST BL
IN PLACE. REMAINING DEBRIS CLOUDS HAVE SHIFTED INTO SOUTHERN COAL
FIELDS AND CENTRAL VA. OTHERWISE...SWIFT MID LEVEL FLOW LEADING TO
A FEW GUSTY WIND REPORTS HERE AND THERE. LATEST RAP AND HRRR
MODELS BOTH SEEM TO ADVERTISE THAT THE BEST FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE
INITIATION THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS
OF WV. MAIN AXIS OF INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE STRETCHES ACROSS
CENTRAL KY AND INTO SRN WV WHICH CORRELATES WELL WITH HIRES
MODELS...AND EXPECTED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. 88D RETURNS FROM

A SERIES OF UPPER DISTURBANCES IN THE WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
PATTERN..WILL KEEP A FRONTAL SYSTEM MEANDERING CLOSE TO OUR AREA. IT

WILL GET...SO WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS EACH DAY. IT
WILL CONTINUE WARM AND HUMID.
