KISTNERWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 4, 4:55 PM EDT, 2 hours 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 4, 4:55 PM EDT, 2 hours 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
455 PM EDT MON JUL 4 2016
.SYNOPSIS...
Weak front pushes through and dissolves overnight and Tuesday.
Very warm and humid for the balance of the weak with disturbances
along the southern edge of the upper level westerlies.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Weak surface front appeared to have pushed through most of the
area. Upper level disturbances and strong mid level flow was
making for an active afternoon and evening in the warm and humid
air that has taken control. The threat for severe weather
continues across central and southern portions of the area, where
the front pushed through first, and heating was maximized. The
strong flow was resulting in some persistent rotation mainly in
the one strongest storm, headed for the office here as 5 pm
approached..
The threat for flooding is also across central and southern
portions of the area, where most of the rain managed to focus
last night and this morning, and where convection will continue to
be heaviest through this evening. The FFA was thus trimmed along
the northwest edge in east central Ohio in coordination with
neighboring offices.
As the front dissolves and the upper level disturbances move off
to the east overnight and Tuesday, so will the potential for
showers and thunderstorms. Stratus and fog are likely to form
overnight and linger well into Tuesday morning, with the best
chance for the return of sunshine over the middle Ohio Valley
Tuesday afternoon.
Temperatures close to guidance with little change from previous,
with no change in air mass.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Zonal flow will largely keep the area unsettled through the short
term with a myriad of vort maxes aloft rotating through the Ohio
Valley. GFS keeps PW values on the high side without any appreciable
change in the airmass...but for now...the systems should be on the
progressive side. That said...given the antecedent conditions across
the area...the potential for water issues will need to be watched.
Very warm temperatures also continue...but the saturated surface
should keep a relative lid on the temperatures...with few 90 degree
readings to be seen through mid week.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Cold front slated for the later weekend time frame will knock
temperatures down a bit and bring the PW values back towards normal
with some drying aloft. Expect this to be short lived...with the
trend and tendencies to rebound back into the unsettled...high
moisture content zonal flow in the upper levels. CPC outlooks
continue with better than normal chances for above normal
temperatures for the extended time frame.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Warm front across southern Ohio and central WV will push northward
into this evening, and then back southward tonight. IFR
conditions improving to MVFR north of the front early this
afternoon likely to vary in showers and a few thunderstorms late
this afternoon and this evening, and then deteriorate back to IFR
to VLIFR overnight tonight, before improving slowly later Tuesday
morning.
Patchy MVFR cigs south of the front otherwise VFR conditions
except when thunderstorms approach from the west this afternoon.
A direct hit from a thunderstorms will bring brief IFR conditions
this afternoon and this evening. A severe thunderstorm watch is in
effect for eastern KY and southern WV through 01Z or 9 pm tonight,
where thunderstorms could bring wind gusts of over 50 kts.
As the rain pushes east and the boundary pushes south tonight,
IFR to VLIFR stratus and or fog is likely to develop across
southern sites as well overnight.
Conditions will slowly improve late Tuesday morning and early
Tuesday afternoon.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Low to Medium
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of restrictions in showers/thunderstorms
could vary especially through this evening. Timing and extent of
fog and stratus overnight into Tuesday morning could vary.
