Area forecast discussion, Mar 14, 7:33 PM EDT, 2 hours 28 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 733 PM EDT SAT MAR 14 2015 .SYNOPSIS... ANY LINGERING LIGHT RAIN ENDS EARLY TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. COLD FRONT EARLY TUESDAY. COLDER PATTERN TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... 730 PM UPDATE...REWORKED POPS BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS...BUT NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... MODELS FINALLY HAVE THE NORTHERN STREAM TAKING OVER THIS PERIOD...AS A SHARP SHORT WAVE AND ATTENDING COLD FRONT DROP DOWN ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...AND KICKS THE REMNANTS OF THE SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM OUT OF THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT. HOWEVER...MODELS GENERALLY AGREE ON CLOUDS LINGERING FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT IN THE COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH A FEW LINGERING UPSLOPE RAIN SHOWERS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS POSSIBLY CHANGING TO SNOW SHOWERS ON RIDGE TOPS WITH NO ACCUMULATION BEFORE ENDING. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST SUNDAY...CLEARING THE CLOUDS FROM WEST TO EAST. THE AIR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT IS COOLER AND DRIER...BUT AFTER A CHILLY NIGHT TONIGHT...INCREASING SUNSHINE WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND FROM THE 30S TONIGHT TO MAINLY THE 50S FOR HIGHS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS MAY BE GUSTY TONIGHT ON MOUNTAIN RIDGE TOPS...BUT WILL DECREASE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS THE HIGH CENTER SETTLES IN. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... HIGH PRESSURE AND RETURN FLOW BRINGS A SIGNIFICANT WARM UP MONDAY AS THE LOW LEVELS/850MB CLIMB INTO THE TEENS CELSIUS. WINDS WILL STAY UP IN THIS RETURN FLOW WITH SOME BREEZY CONDITIONS OVER THE HILL TOPS AND RIDGE TOPS IN UPGLIDING FLOW...RESULTING IN SOME 70S POSSIBLE OVER THE LOWLANDS. A FEW UPPER LEVEL VORT MAXES INCREASE THE MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE/CLOUD COVER MONDAY...SO THIS WILL KEEP THE TEMPERATURES IN CHECK FOR THE MOST PART IN A SCENARIO WHERE OVERSHOOTING THE GUIDANCE IS A GOOD TECHNIQUE. INSTEAD...WILL KEEP IT IN THE MEX MOS AREA FOR NOW. A COLD FRONT DROPS IN FROM THE NORTH TUESDAY USING A HIGHER POP/LOW QPF AMOUNT. LOSE THE FRONTOGENETIC FORCING AS IT DROPS SOUTH OF EKN/W22 AREA. TEMPERATURES DROP ONCE AGAIN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... 12Z GFS TRIES TO HAVE US DOMINATED BY THE NORTHERN BRANCH AND A DRY PATTERN THROUGH THE PERIOD. ECMWF STILL HAS A DAMPENING SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM BRUSHING US THURSDAY. SINCE WE HAVE HAD THIS IN THE FORECAST THE PAST 2 DAYS...WILL CONTINUE...AND NOT BUY INTO THE DRIER GFS YET. THE TREND SINCE FEBRUARY SEEMS TO BE THAT THESE SOUTHERN SYSTEMS HAVE COME FURTHER NORTH. WILL ALSO CONTINUE DRYING TO PUSH THE CHANCE POPS FURTHER NORTH BY FRIDAY BEFORE SHUNTING DISTURBANCES TO OUR EAST BY SATURDAY. TEMPERATURE WISE...FIGURING ON A CLEAR NIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT AND DIMINISHING WIND...SO WENT COLDER THAN PREVIOUSLY. && .AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... QUITE THE DIFFERENCE ACROSS CWA...WITH VFR ACROSS THE WEST...AND IFR IN CLOUDS AND RAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST. SOME UNCERTAINTY ON EXACTLY HOW THINGS WILL PLAY OUT TONIGHT. LOTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CURRENTLY IN PLACE...HOWEVER DRIER AIR TRYING TO WORK IN FROM THE WEST. ALSO EXPECT 925 WINDS TO REMAIN AROUND 20 KTS THROUGH THE NIGHT...SO DESPITE WET GROUND AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AM NOT HITTING FOG HARD DUE TO WINDS. FOG AND ANY LINGERING LOWER CLOUDS SHOULD DISSIPATE WITH IMPROVEMENT TO VFR EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL ALSO BRING LIGHTER WINDS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM. ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: MORE OR LESS FOG POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT DEPENDING ON WINDS. COULD SEE PERIODS OF IFR CLOUDS IN MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE NIGHT. EXPERIMENTAL TABLE OF FLIGHT CATEGORY OBJECTIVELY SHOWS CONSISTENCY OF WFO FORECAST TO AVAILABLE MODEL INFORMATION: H = HIGH: TAF CONSISTENT WITH ALL MODELS OR ALL BUT ONE MODEL.
