Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
351 PM EDT Thu Oct 20 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front moves from west to east this evening into tonight with
showers and storms. Precipitation lingers Friday, possibly into
Saturday. Moisture starved cold front Sunday Night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 130 PM Thursday...

Surface boundary beginning to move again after being stalled
across Central Ohio for most of the morning. This is due to a
surface low making its way into Central Kentucky early this
afternoon. West of this front, have dense cloud cover and fairly
widespread rain. East of the front, a cumulus deck has been
developing along with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Thus,
the main feature to track through the tonight is the boundary as
it slides east.

This afternoon, with most of the CWA ahead of the front, we will
see showers and thunderstorms moving through. Used a blend of near
term, hi-res guidance to formulate POPs...with an area of likely
POPs crossing CWA through this evening. Clouds have limited
instability some, but combined with decent shear we should still
have enough instability to drive some stronger cells capable of
gusty winds. Still not real excited about these reaching severe
limits, but cannot rule out and isolated bowing segment with
damaging winds threat.

Tonight, as the front continues east, we will se more widespread
precipitation and clouds quickly lowering. Have large area of 100
POPs just behind the front, lingering into the early morning
hours. In general, looking at a 1-2" rainfall event providing some
relief to the parched ground.

Expect a slow recovery on Friday, with low stratus and
light rain/drizzle/fog lingering through much of the morning. This
will limit diurnal heating, so have fairly flat temps -- and even
non-diurnal at higher elevations of the northern mountains as
850mb temps continue to fall through the day. Afternoon highs will
be significantly cooler than today, with most locations staying in
the 50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 310 PM Thursday...

High pressure at the surface and aloft will build over the area
from the west Friday night and Saturday, as the upper trough and
associated surface low/cold front move out. Rain showers also
taper off from west to east Friday night in the low lands, and in
the mountains Saturday morning as drier air works in. Pressure
gradient between the surface low and high pressure will be tight
over our area through Saturday, so the strong cold air advection
and blustery northwest flow will bring temperatures down to well
below normal Friday night through Saturday. Gusty winds Friday
night and Saturday with temperatures in the 50s for highs Saturday
will make it seem much colder, and some wind gusts in the higher
elevations of the northern mountains may exceed 40 mph. Enough
cold air will get into the northern mountains to change rain
showers to snow showers later Friday night and Saturday morning,
but with little accumulation. Sunday will already begin a rebound
under high pressure and plenty of sunshine to boost temperatures
back into the 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 310 PM Thursday...

High pressure at the surface and aloft will be the dominating
feature through Wednesday, except for a weak and moisture starved
front dropping across the area late Sunday night and Monday
morning. Except for a sprinkle in the northern mountains with the
front, dry weather and near normal temperatures can be expected.
Thursday will see another system approaching from the west, but
with warm temperatures preceding it.

Thing

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 140 PM Thursday...

Messy TAF period ahead as a cold front moves through the forecast
area. Ahead of the cold front, have a VFR cumulus deck forming
with some showers and thunderstorms expected. Did include some
MVFR tempos in thunderstorms, using HRRR for timing. Could even
get brief IFR.

As the cold front passes tonight, more widespread rain is expected
as well as a low stratus deck moving in. This leads to IFR to LIFR
conditions once the front passes...lingering well into Friday
morning. Winds are generally southwesterly this afternoon outside
of any thunderstorms, and will shift to northwesterly behind the
front.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: IFR possible in thunderstorms into tonight.
Timing of frontal passage and drop into IFR rain/stratus may
very...as well as timing of recovery Friday.
