Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
215 AM EDT THU JUN 23 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Frontal boundary lifts northeast as strong disturbance races through
06z to 12z with strong winds and downpours. Front tries to sink
back south Thursday night. High pressure for the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
200 am update...
Southwest half of forecast area may remain in a lull until 08z-
09Z, otherwise Forecast on track staring down the barrel of an
MCS.

Previous discussion...
At 02Z...still calm enough in the low levels for some valley fog
to form to in the coal fields of southern West Virginia.

Yet to the west...88D Vad winds at 925 mb already 30 knots at Ind
near 02z. 925 mb flow increases to about 40 knots by 09z over our
Ohio River counties. As winds increase late tonight...temperatures
may hold steady or rise a bit...ahead of any storms. Only cooling
expected is with the thunderstorms. 00z Nam solution still tries
to keep the main biscuit to our north overnight...in the stronger
warm frontal lift.But counting on the southwest low level inflow
to form new cells on the southwestern flank in the unstable muggy
air. This new convection should drop further south than the nam
solution. Individual cells will be racing at 50 to 60 knots after
06z. So damaging wind threat still exists. Despite the fast
movement...still concerned that back building could align the axis
of portions of the convection along the steering flow. Due to the
recent rain...decided to include the Hts Tri state in the flash
flood watch including ne Kentucky and down through the southern
coal fields of WV. The southern portion of this flash flood watch
may even have to be extended in time...well into Thursday
night...since the front will be slow to press back south.

Precipitable water increases to near 2 inches toward 09z Thursday and
lingers through 03z Saturday.

We continue to stress the need for folks to increase their weather
awareness...now through Thursday evening.

Have pops decreasing first around 10 to 11z in southeast Ohio in
the wake of the overnight rounds.  Unclear...how the convection
lingers and reforms on Thursday. Mesoscale boundaries and pockets
of sunshine will come into play. Tried to downplay the wind
potential for 12z Thursday through midday...only to bring it back
for the afternoon and evening hours.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Have several features to track during the short term period. The
first is a pesky surface low and attached cold front which will be
over the CWA to begin the period. Brief high pressure will follow
this followed by a warm front late in the period as a surface low
moves across south central Canada.

Increased POPs with surface low and cold front Friday into Friday
night, as models continue to slow its departure. NAM and GFS try to
show some QPF across the mountains Saturday in the lingering
moisture and a weak 500mb shortwave trough moving through. However,
kept things dry for now on Saturday, thinking the moisture will be
too shallow for precipitation and weak surface high pressure should
be moving through.

That surface high is already headed out by Sunday, with moisture on
the increase and a warm front lifting through the Ohio River valley.
Added some slight chance POPs and increased clouds on Sunday to
account for this. With the increase in clouds, also lowered the high
on Sunday several degrees. Stayed on the warm side of guidance with
afternoon highs in the low 90s across the lowlands though.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Starting on Monday...used a blend of the ECMWF ensemble mean and
the GEFS mean. This would have a cold front slowly approaching
from the west on Monday and Tuesday...with showers and
thunderstorms developing over the region in advance of the front.
The cold front would then push through on Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A convective complex over Indiana and Ohio will move across WV
overnight and should at some point impact most TAF sites. The main
effect of the storms will be heavy rainfall with IFr conditions at
times, but very strong wind gusts and hail are also possible.
There should be a lull later Thursday morning before another round
of thunderstorms impacts the area Thursday Afternoon into Thursday
evening with similar effects, as a cold front approaches the area.

Southwest surface flow will become a bit gusty even outside
thunderstorms Thursday and then diminish Thursday night. Moderate
to strong west flow aloft through Thursday will diminish a bit
Thursday night.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: LOW.
