AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
724 PM EDT THU APR 2 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
WARM SECTOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. WAVE ALONG STRONG FRONTAL
ZONE WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE FRIDAY. COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH FRIDAY
EVENING. COOLER SATURDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN. DRY EASTER.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
PREVIOUS FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK. NO CHANGES NECESSARY.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW...
WARM FRONT PASSED THIS MORNING GIVING PLENTY OF SHOWERS IN ITS
WAKE. VORT MAXES RIDING UP BACK OF EASTERLY MOVING UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WITH THETA E RIDGING IS HELPING TO MAINTAIN STORMS THROUGH
THIS EVENING. THE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IS
ELEVATED SO IT IS NOT CAUSING A LOT OF IMPACTS AT THE SURFACE
SHORT OF LIGHT RAIN AND SOME GUSTY WINDS DUE TO THE LOWER LEVEL
DRY AIR. MILD TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT EXCEPT IN COLD
POOLS FOLLOWING ROUNDS OF SHOWERS.
FOR THE NEXT SYSTEM...AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE AND ATTENDANT COLD
FRONT WILL TAKE ITS TIME TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA OVER THE NEXT 36
HOURS. THE BIGGEST CONCERN WILL BE REPETITIVE RAIN. THIS WILL BE
EXACERBATED BY TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS WITH 1000 J/KG OF CAPE. ANOTHER
CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS IN THUNDERSTORMS AND A
SMALL RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS THIS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM HAS
A LOT OF FAVORABLE DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH IT...UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH...LOW LEVEL JET...HIGH BULK SHEAR...HIGH MOISTURE TRANSPORT
AT 850 HPA...STRONG VORT MAX...145 KT JET AND STRONG SURFACE COLD
FRONT. ALL OF THESE WILL CULMINATE INTO AN ACTIVE WEATHER PERIOD.
AN AREAL FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF AROUND 2
INCHES OF RAINFALL FROM THIS SYSTEM.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AFTER A LULL IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW LEVEL WINDS DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY...THE 925 TO 870 FLOW INCREASES AGAIN INTO THE 30 TO 50 KNOT
RANGE BY 00Z SATURDAY. COULD NOT RULE OUT A CONVECTIVE WARNING INTO
THE EVENING. IN TERMS OF WATER...THE LAST ROUNDS MAY BE THE MOST
TROUBLESOME...IF THEY OCCUR OVER THE PREVIOUSLY WET AREAS FROM THE
THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY CONVECTION...SO FLOOD WATCH
CONTINUES UNTIL AFTER FROPA.
EVEN IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT...WITH DEEPENING LOW WAVE...WILL
INCLUDE SOME GUSTS NEAR 30 KNOTS IN THE COLD AIR ADVECTION...
STARTING 03Z SATURDAY IN THE WEST...REACHING MOUNTAINS BY 06Z
SATURDAY.
STILL LEFT AN INCH OR LESS OF SNOW OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN OF OUR
CENTRAL WV MOUNTAINS BY 12Z SATURDAY. STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS QUICKLY
THIN FROM WEST TO EAST ON SATURDAY.
WENT A BIT COLDER SATURDAY NIGHT...FIGURING CLEAR SKY AND DIMINISHING
WINDS.
EASTER SUNDAY STILL APPEARS RELATIVELY PLEASANT. NO MAJOR CHANGES.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AFTER A BREAK IN THE SHORT TERM...THE PATTERN REVERTS BACK TO ONE
SIMILAR TO THAT IN THE NEAR TERM FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THE
POSSIBILITY FOR REPETITIVE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LEADS
TO THE CONCERN FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WHICH HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE
HWO.
NRN STREAM L/W TROUGH OVER ERN CANADA DURING THE SHORT TERM LIFTS
OUT NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM...AND THEN A NEW ONE STARTS
TO BECOME REESTABLISHED NEAR THE END OF THE PERIOD. THIS LEAVES
MUCH OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD DOMINATED BY THE SRN STREAM...WITH
SEVERAL S/W TROUGHS MOVING THROUGH THE GENERALLY WSW UPPER LEVEL
FLOW.
AT THE SFC...LOW PRESSURE MOVES NEWD OUT OF THE CENTRAL CONUS AND
INTO THE GREAT LAKES...AND THEN GRADUALLY DISPLACES HIGH PRESSURE
OVER EASTERN CANADA...TAKING UNTIL EARLY DAY 7 TO DO SO. WITH ONLY
WEAK PACIFIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS FROM
THE W...THE FCST AREA IS LEFT IN A WAVY FRONTAL ZONE THROUGH THE END
OF THE PERIOD...BEFORE CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS BUILDING SWD
INTO THE MIDWEST IN RESPONSE TO THE NEW L/W TROUGH BECOMING
ESTABLISHED OVER EASTERN CANADA.
THE LOW CENTERS TRACK MAINLY N OF THE FCST AREA THIS PERIOD...HENCE
THE ON AND OFF ROUNDS OF CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION. THE FCST DEPICTS
AN INITIAL WARM WAVE PASSING THROUGH MON. THE FIRST MAIN LOW CENTER
TRACKS N OF THE AREA LATE TUE AND TUE NT...WITH THE NEXT LIKELY
ROUND OF PRECIPITATION. THIS IS MOST STRONGLY SUPPORTED BY THE
CANADIAN. A THIRD CROSSES THU INTO THU NT. HAVE THE THUNDERSTORM
CHANCE DURING THE PERIOD MOSTLY ACROSS SRN PORTIONS OF THE FCST AREA.
TEMPERATURES ARE CLOSE TO WPC WITH LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS. DO
HAVE TEMPERATURES SLOWLY RISING OVERNIGHT SUN NT WITH THE INITIAL
WARM WAVE MOVING IN. POPS ARE RATHER HIGH ON AVERAGE FOR A DAY 4
THROUGH 7 PERIOD.
&&
.AVIATION /23Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITH CONVECTION MOVING FROM NORTHEAST
KY INTO WV THIS EVENING. HTS COULD SEE STRONG GUSTY WINDS ALONG A
BOW ECHO STRUCTURE FROM 00-02Z.
THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS UNSTABLE TONIGHT FOR ADDITIONAL STORMS TO
DEVELOP AND AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
PINPOINTING THESE STORMS IS QUITE DIFFICULT. THEREFORE...INCLUDED
VCTS AT SOME SITES TO ACCOUNT FOR STORMS PASSING BY.
CEILINGS SHOULD DROP BRIEFLY ALONG SHOWERS OR STORMS UNDER
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN.
AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES...THOUGH RESTRICTED VISIBILITIES DUE
TO HEAVIER RAIN WILL LIKELY BE THE BIGGEST IMPACT TO FLIGHT
CONDITIONS.
DISCREPANCIES AMONG MODELS ON THE TIMING OF THE PASSING COLD FRONT
ARE EVIDENT. SOME MODELS SHOW THE FRONT ENTERING SOUTHEAST OH
AROUND 00Z FRIDAY. OTHERS...AROUND 03-06Z. HOWEVER...EXPECT
SHOWERS OR STORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE FRIDAY MORNING WITH THIS ACTIVITY.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: COVERAGE OF IFR MAY BE GREATER THAN THE TAFS
THOUGH BELIEVE AREAL EXTENT WILL BE LIMITED. MAINLY OCCURRING
AROUND HEAVIER CONVECTIVE SHOWERS.
EXPERIMENTAL TABLE OF FLIGHT CATEGORY OBJECTIVELY SHOWS CONSISTENCY

H = HIGH: TAF CONSISTENT WITH ALL MODELS OR ALL BUT ONE MODEL.

.HYDROLOGY...
INITIALLY RELATIVELY DRY SOIL CONDITIONS FOR EARLY APRIL AND STREAMS
AOB NORMAL FLOW. SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE 1 TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN
WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. IF THE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
EMBEDDED CONVECTION INTO FRIDAY EVENING OVERLAP...CAUSING
REPETITIVE HEAVIER SHOWERS OVER THE SAME SMALL STREAM BASIN...WATER
CONCERNS WOULD INCREASE WITH AMOUNTS TOWARD 2 INCHES OR MORE.
STRONG RISES ON RIVERS SUCH AS THE HOCKING...LITTLE KANAWHA...WEST
FORK...AND TYGART VALLEY...EXPECTED.
CONVECTIVE NATURE MAY TRY TO PUSH HEAVIER RAIN AXIS SOUTH OF MODEL
EMPHASIS/FOCUS. WE TRENDED SOUTH ON THE WATCH...BUT MAY NEED TO INCLUDE
EXTREME SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA...IF THAT CONVECTIVE AXIS GOES EVEN
FURTHER SOUTH.
