Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
133 PM EDT SUN MAY 15 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure builds in today...but a weak upper level trough
could kick off mountain showers. Unsettled weather possible for
much of next week, as low pressure systems cross the region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1000 AM UPDATE...
No changes this morning to the forecast package. Cloud cover
eroding over the Tri State and Tug Fork Valley as high pressure
presses into the Ohio Valley.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
Fairly dense layer of clouds across the forecast area...although
IR satellite shows the clouds beginning to break up some across
the west. Mainly isolated rain showers continue early this
morning across the northern CWA, with snow showers at higher
elevations.

Upper level trough axis and area of positive vorticity cross this
afternoon, with an uptick in coverage of rain showers across the
north. This will also keep clouds in place longer across the
north, while southern CWA will see clouds break up through the
day.

Afternoon highs will top out 10-15 degrees below average
today...with a rather chilly NW breeze.

High pressure begins nosing in from the west this afternoon, and
should be firmly in control tonight. This spells mostly clear
skies and winds becoming light or calm after midnight. Efficient
radiation will lead to a cold night by mid-May standards. After
collaborating with surrounding offices, will go with a freeze
watch for Pocahontas and Randolph counties. Anticipate the need
for a frost advisory across other parts of the CWA eventually, will
continue mention in HWO for now with some uncertainty on how
quickly winds will decouple tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
High pressure will crest overhead on Monday and then slide to our
east by Monday evening. Guidance has slowed down the arrival of
frontal boundary Monday night...and precipitation will start to
spread northeast across the region starting around 00Z Tuesday.
Several weak short waves will ride across this boundary over a 36
to 48 hour period. This will keep a likely chance for showers in
the forecast through Wednesday morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The Tuesday system pulls east on Wednesday as an upper level trof
pivots into the region. A surface high will build into the upper
Ohio Valley by Thursday and carry thru Friday. Next weekend is
looking rather unsettled as the pattern tries to take on an omega
block look to it.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Still have a few lingering showers/snow showers across the PKB-
CKB-EKN line...but should continue to see slow decrease of this
activity through the remainder of the afternoon. Sky will clear
tonight...as winds subside to less than 10kts...with VFR through
18Z Monday.
