Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
134 PM EDT Wed May 16 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Unsettled weather pattern continues into the weekend with daily
shower and thunderstorm chances in a warm and humid air mass.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 1115 AM Wednesday...

No significant changes were necessary to the near term forecast
period. Split flow pattern continues across the area, with high
moisture content air in place, out ahead of an upper shortwave
trough upstream of the area, with a stalled frontal boundary
across the CWA. Satellite estimates of PW values around 1.5
inches along and south of boundary, which at 1530Z was stretched
west to east, generally bisecting the CWA in half. This boundary
may sag a little farther south during the period, but overall
will remain relatively stationary. Multiple weak disturbances in
the flow, will aid in shower and thunderstorm development at
times, but overall timing of these individual disturbances
remains difficult. Overall, light flow, surface and aloft, will
result in slow moving showers and storms, with heavy downpours
in the moisture laden atmosphere. Heaviest rainfall amounts are
expected across the mountains, and northern WV zones during the
period, with a general 1-1.5 inches east of a line from ckb to
crw, with a general 0.75 inches of less to the west. A ffa will
likely be issued later this afternoon.

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 330 AM Wednesday...

An active upper level pattern will provide fairly widespread
shower and thunderstorm chances through the short term. This is
as an upper level low gradually moves into the lower Ohio River
Valley Thursday and then slowly moves along just north of the
Ohio River through Saturday, while a system lifts out of the
gulf with plenty of moisture. With the upper level support,
think showers and storms will become less diurnally driven with
POPs remaining overnight as well. Will also see more clouds
during the day, which means less instability and less concern
for strong to severe storms. However, with more widespread rain
and precipitable water values in the 1.5-2 inch range through
the period flooding concerns are on the increase. Have the
highest QPF across the mountains, and could see a need for a
flood or flash flood watch eventually. I think a lot of it will
depend on where and how much rain falls over the area today and
tonight. Will reword HWO to jive with increasing concern.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 330 AM Thursday...

Our synoptic pattern changes a bit for the weekend into next
week. The upper level low of the short term departs on Saturday
with a brief break before the next wave arrives Sunday night
into Monday. The GFS actually tries to give us a relatively dry
day Sunday, however the ECMWF keeps showers around. Have some
low end POPs lingering Sunday, but think the ECMWF is overdoing
it with slightly rising 500mb heights and no good upper level
forcing. We will see a cold front try to push through Monday
night into Tuesday with showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 130 PM Wednesday...

18Z Wednesday through 18Z Thursday...

Widespread MVFR conditions are starting to develop across the
higher terrain, as heavier precipitation forms across that area.
West of the higher terrain, mainly VFR conditions, although
brief MVFR/IFR conditions can be expected at times across the
lowlands as more widepsread shower and isolated thunderstorm
activity develops this afternoon and evening. As with last
night, expecting widespread MVFR and IFR conditions to develop
in low stratus and fog, generally improving after 12-14Z, with
more showers and thunderstorms developing after 16Z.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Low.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of showers and thunderstorms could
vary thru the whole period. Timing, location, and density of
fog/ceilings overnight could vary.

...A SHOWER WILL AFFECT SOUTHEASTERN PERRY...MORGAN AND NORTHWESTERN
ATHENS COUNTIES...

At 1113 AM EDT, showers were located over Shawnee, moving northeast
at 20 mph.

Locations impacted include...
Nelsonville, New Lexington, Glouster, McConnelsville, Shawnee,
Crooksville, New Straitsville, Malta, Corning, Buchtel, Jacksonville,
Murray City, Trimble, Bristol, Hemlock, Rendville, Burr Oak State
Park, Hackney and Eagleport.

Torrential rainfall is also occurring with these showers, and may
cause localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded
roadways.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to travel across
flooded roads. Find alternate routes. It takes only a few inches of
swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away.
