AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
331 PM EDT FRI JUN 26 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES IN TONIGHT WITH A
COLD/OCCLUDED FRONT. NEXT FRONT EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BEEN HARD ON THE NAM THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS...AND WILL EASE UP A
BIT ON IT HERE FOR THE FORECAST TODAY. STILL CHUCKING IT OUT THE
WINDOW IN THE NEAR TERM THROUGH THIS EVENING AS IS WAS WAY TOO
AGGRESSIVE WITH THE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT...NOT INITIALIZING THE
MORNING MCS AND RESULTING STABILITY IN ITS WAKE VARY WELL.
BUT...HAVE USED IT INTO THE OVERNIGHT WITH THE APPROACHING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND AGAIN FOR SATURDAY WITH THE OCCLUSION OF THE
LOW AND THE DRY SLOT INTRUSION.
FOR THE REST OF TODAY...STILL TRYING TO ERODE THE CAP...AND THE
HRRR DID A GOOD JOB OF HOLDING THE CONVECTION BACK. USUALLY...THIS
MODEL LIKES TO BE AGGRESSIVE LIKE THE NAM WAS DOING...BUT THE
RAPID REFRESH LIKELY IS HELPING WITH THE OUTPUT HERE. STILL THINK
IT COULD TAKE A WHILE FOR THE COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO
INCREASE...AND MAY END UP BEING MORE LIKE A 23Z-00Z TIME FRAME
HERE.
WITH THE DEEPENING OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AT ALL
LEVELS...EXPECT THE WINDS TO INCREASE IN THE LOW LEVELS...AND WILL
WATCH THE NOSE OF THAT LOW LEVEL JET ARRIVE AFTER 03Z TONIGHT.
STRONG SIGNAL FOR THE GREATER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ALSO
EVIDENT IN THE LOW LEVEL THETA E CONVERGENCE. LOW TO MID LEVEL
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING ALSO COMING INTO PLAY. WITH THAT
SAID...CATEGORICAL POPS A GO TONIGHT.
AS MENTIONED BEFORE...DRY SLOT IN THE OCCLUSION LIKELY AFTER 12Z.
LOWER POPS ACCORDINGLY...BUT WILL NOT REMOVE THEM COMPLETELY AS
THE LOW MOVES OUT DURING THE DAY GIVEN THE INCREASED INSTABILITY
ALOFT THANKS TO THE COLD POOL SETTLING IN.
SPC STILL HAS THE BULK OF THE CWA IN THE SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER...WITH THE TRI STATE AREA IN THE ENHANCED RISK.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE MODELS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE LOW PRESSURE AND FRONTAL
SYSTEM EXITING TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST AROUND THE BEGINNING OF
THIS PERIOD. HAVE LINGERED HIGHER POPS SATURDAY EVENING IN THE
MOUNTAINS WITH THE FRONT...OTHERWISE WE START OFF WITH A RELATIVE
DRY SLOT OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE RATHER DEEP
LOW IS STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A VERY COOL SEASON LIKE WRAPROUND
OF MUCH COOLER AND MOIST AIR LATER SATURDAY NIGHT. HAVE RAMPED
POPS UP LATER SATURDAY NIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST IN THIS
WRAP AROUND...ALONG WITH MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES. SHOWERS WILL
THEN END FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTH SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS BRIEF HIGH
PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR MOVES IN FOR SUNDAY NIGHT. MUCH COOLER
SUNDAY NIGHT...CHILLY WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
GIVEN THE CONTINUATION OF A SERIES OF UPPER TROUGHS AND FRONTS
MOVING ACROSS THE AREA NEXT WEEK...WILL GENERALLY KEEP THIS
PERIOD UNSETTLED. HARD TO TIME THESE SYSTEMS...SO WILL BROADBRUSH
AND KEEP CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR EACH DAY NEXT
WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE MODERATE DUE TO THE CLOUDS
AND SHOWERS...EVEN AS THE COOLER CANADIAN AIRMASS EXITS EAST BY
MONDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HOLDING OFF ON CONVECTION IN THE TAFS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS GIVEN
THE DECAYING STABLE CONDITIONS FROM THE RAIN THIS MORNING.
AFTER 20Z...EXPECTING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS TO INCREASE. THIS WILL
NOT WANE WITH THE SETTING SUN AS WOULD TYPICALLY HAPPENING THE
WARM SEASON. STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL KEEP
THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE
NIGHT AND INTO THE DAY SATURDAY. DRY AIR WILL WORK ITS WAY IN FROM
THE WEST AFTER 12Z SATURDAY SO THE OHIO RIVER TERMINALS AT PKB AND
HTS WILL GET A BREAK FROM THE PRECIPITATION.
AS IS TYPICAL...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CARRY VARYING
CONDITIONS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO REPRESENT IN PREVAILING
LINES OF THE TAF. TEMPOS AND AMENDMENTS LIKELY AS THE STORMS FORM.
MOST TERMINALS ARE IN THE SLIGHT TO ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: LOW.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: CONVECTION TIMING AND CONDITIONS COULD VARY.
AFTER 18Z SATURDAY...POSSIBLE IFR IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
