AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
939 PM EDT SUN MAR 27 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT EARLY MONDAY MORNING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERS IN
COOLER TEMPERATURES INTO MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE TUESDAY. WARMER
WEDNESDAY. LOW PRESSURE/FRONT THURSDAY. COOLER AIR AGAIN OVER WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
POSSIBILITY OF SOME STRONG STORMS THIS EVENING...PARTICULARLY
ACROSS WESTERN ZONES...AS LINE OF STORMS IN NW OHIO...INDIANA AND
WESTERN KY CONTINUES TO RACE EASTWARDS...AS A COLD FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...CURRENTLY MOVING
NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES...AND A NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER
SHORTWAVE TROUGH PUSHES EAST INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
REGION. MAIN THREAT WILL BE STRONG WINDS...WITH STRENGTHENING
SHEAR OF 60+KTS OUT AHEAD OF FRONT. THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE OF
WEAKENING OF STORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE LINE...AS
SOUTHERN STORMS STRENGTHEN...AND IT IS STILL YET TO BE SEEN HOW IT
WILL ALL PLAY OUT...BUT THERE IS A RISK FOR STRONG WINDS TONIGHT
WITH ANY CONVECTION...MAINLY ACROSS OUR WEST.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS... WITH MORNING UPDATE HAD PUT IN
SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AS A PSEUDO WARM FRONT LIFTS ACROSS
CWA...HOWEVER RADAR ECHOS HAVE LARGELY DRIED UP SO TOOK THAT
MENTION BACK OUT. HRRR STILL TRIES TO KICK OFF A SHOWER OR
TWO...BUT WITH THICK CIRRUS NOW IN PLACE...DO NOT SEE US BEING
ABLE TO POP ANYTHING MORE THAN SOME CU.

HAVE CLOUDS CONTINUING TO INCREASE AND LOWER INTO THIS EVENING...AS
A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM STARTS MAKING ITS WAY UP THE ATLANTIC
COAST. STILL THINKING WE COULD GET SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS ACROSS THE EASTERN SLOPES LATER THIS AFTERNOON OR
EVENING...SO LEFT SOME LOW POPS THERE. OTHERWISE...ATTENTION TURNS
TO NORTHERN STREAM LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH WILL LIFT THROUGH THE
GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. THIS WILL DRIVE A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE CWA
LATE TONIGHT/EARLY MONDAY. HAVE 80-100 POPS ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT AS IT CROSSES. MUCH LIKE THE LAST DECENT COLD FRONT WE
HAD PASS...PWATS DRY UP SOME AS THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST...SO HAVE
HIGHEST QPF ACROSS SE OHIO -- GENERALLY 0.5 INCH...TAPERING DOWN
TO ONLY AROUND 0.25 INCH ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS.

ANY INSTABILITY OF NOTE REMAINS LARGELY TO OUR WEST UNTIL SOME
200-400J/KG CAPE SLIDES THROUGH RIGHT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND BY
THAT TIME WE ARE GETTING INTO THE DIURNAL MINIMUM FOR CONVECTION.
HAVE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDER IN THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY
EASTWARD TO AROUND THE I-79 CORRIDOR BEFORE FADING OUT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
850 MB THERMAL TROF PASSES AROUND 12Z TUESDAY...12Z NAM AND ECMWF
ABOUT 1 TO 2C COLDER THAN THE 12Z GFS.  LOWERED MIN TEMP AOA 4000
THSD A DEGREE OR TWO...TRENDING COLDER THAN GFS.

OVERNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT...THINNING MOISTURE UNDER THE SUBSIDENCE
INVERSION AOB 5 THSD FT...SO CLOUD COVER TOUGH...WITH HOLES OPENING
UP.  STILL HAVE THE LOWERING POPS OVER OUR CENTRAL MOUNTAINS FOR
SPOTTY LIGHT RAIN SHOWER...MAYBE A SPOTTY LIGHT SNOW SHOWER UP HIGH.

STILL THOUGHT ENOUGH CLEARING IN NE KENTUCKY MONDAY NIGHT FOR
POSSIBLE MIN TEMP NEAR FREEZING FOR DAWN TUESDAY. WILL INSERT IN OUR
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR KY SINCE THAT IS WHERE OUR SPRING
FREEZE PROGRAM AS ALREADY STARTED. WITH MARGINAL TEMPERATURES AND
CLOUD CONCERNS FOR AT LEAST PART OF THE NIGHT...DID NOT POST A
FREEZE WATCH.

WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER OUR VICINITY AT START OF TUESDAY
NIGHT...THOUGHT NOCTURNAL INVERSION MAY FORM IN VALLEYS BEFORE THE
THE LOW LEVEL FLOW FROM THE SOUTHEAST INCREASES 06Z TO 12Z
WEDNESDAY.  SO LOWERED MIN TEMPS IN THE SHELTERED VALLEYS.

ANOTHER NICE MARCH DAY FOR WEDNESDAY...FOR THIS WARM MARCH OF 2016.
A LARGE DIURNAL TEMP SPREAD WITH 850 TEMPS WARMING TO 14C IN SRN
LOWLANDS BY LATE AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MODELS SUGGEST THAT A SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVE OFF THE  ATLANTIC COAST
ALLOWING A WARM FRONT TO LIFT NORTH EARLY THURSDAY. THIS WARM FRONT
COULD BRING SOME RAIN EARLY THURSDAY...BUT THE AREA WILL REMAIN IN
THE WARM SECTOR OF A SFC LOW PRESSURE WITH POSSIBLE CONVECTION AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY. THEREFORE...KEPT LIKELY
POPS FOR THURSDAY. MODELS SHOW LOW SFC CAPE AND HIGH DEEP LAYERED
SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER UP TO 1.25 INCHES. THESE
PARAMETER COULD ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. THEREFORE...KEPT THUNDER UNDER LIKELY POPS FOR THURSDAY.

BY 12Z FRIDAY...THE FRONT WILL BE JUST EAST OF THE
APPALACHIANS...BUT A SECONDARY FRONT WILL REINFORCE THE COLD AIR.
THE AREA REMAINS UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER
BUT FASTER SYSTEM CROSS THE GREAT LAKES SATURDAY.

USED THE WPC GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR THROUGH 06Z...EXCEPT MAYBE SOME MVFR CLOUDS ALONG EASTERN
SLOPES...AFFECTING SITES SUCH AS KBKW. WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS WILL
GRADUALLY DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA AFTER 06Z AS A COLD
FRONT...ALONG WITH SCT SHRA AND TSRA SPREAD FROM WEST TO EAST
ACROSS THE REGION. IN ADDITION...GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP
AS THE FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE REGION...PARTICULARLY AFTER
06-09Z...WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS IN THE LOWER 20 KTS.

PRECIPITATION WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER
12Z...ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD MVFR AND LOCAL IFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE TO
LINGER THROUGH AT LEAST 18-20Z...WHEN SOME GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TO
LOW VFR WILL TAKE PLACE FROM WEST TO EAST. MOUNTAINS MAY NOT SEE
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR DURING THE PERIOD.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF PRECIPITATION AND ASSOCIATED MVFR
CONDITIONS MAY VARY FROM FORECAST. MORE WIDESPREAD IFR MAY OCCUR
ON MONDAY BEHIND THE FRONT THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.
