Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
310 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will push east across the area tonight. Strong
thunderstorms and heavy rain are possible with this cold front.
Another cold front pushes southeast later this week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 216 PM Tuesday...
Heavy rain from showers and thunderstorms tonight falling on
saturated ground could result in additional water problems
across portions of southeast Ohio as well as the northern
counties of West Virginia. With this in mind, issued another
Flash Flood Watch for this evening and tonight.
As of 200 PM Tuesday...
Latest radar mosaic shows area of showers and thunderstorms
that prevailed across much of our northern counties has begun to
move north. This trend is expected to continue and believe this
precip will exit our northern counties during the next few
hours.
Our attention then turns to our west where a line of showers
and storms has developed. These showers and storms are
associated with a cold front which should push across our area
tonight.
Expect these storms should begin to push into our far western
counties later this evening and then across the remainder of the
forecast area overnight. SPC has outlooked the western 90% of
our forecast area in some type of a severe threat. Some of our
far western zones are outlooked as an enhanced threat of severe
thunderstorms with decreasing severe threat as you move east.
Will not regurgitate SPC thinking in the most recent outlook.
In addition to severe threat tonight, some of these storms may
produce locally heavy rainfall which could cause some localized
flooding.
Some of the latest models suggest that precipitation associated
with the upper level system should continue across our northern
counties on Wednesday. So have hung onto PoPs a little longer
than what would occur with just the front.
Airmass across the northern mountain counties could become cold
enough on Wednesday for some light snow to fall. However, little
accumulation is anticipated at this time.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 PM Tuesday...
High pressure generally through the period with below normal
temperatures.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 300 pM Tuesday...
The trend north of the Friday night/Saturday system continues,
such that wintry impacts have shifted into our area. We will
continue to closely monitor this as the potential for
accumulating snow is increasing at least across a portion of the
area.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 200 PM Tuesday...
Area of showers and thunderstorms with MVFR/IFR conditions will
lift north by 20Z with vfr conditions prevailing in most locations.
Another round of showers and thunderstorms with MVFR...lcl IFR...
conditions will push east overnight with these conditions
pushing into southeast Ohio after 00Z and then spreading across
the remainder of the area by 09Z. Gusty to strong westerly
winds over 40 kts are possible in some of the stronger storms.
Outside of the storms, gusty southerly winds will become
westerly as the cold front pushes east.
The showers and storms should slowly end from the west after
12Z.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of showers and storms with a cold
front this evening through the overnight hours will likely
differ than currently forecast.

Torrential rainfall is also occurring with these storms, and may
cause localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded
roadways.
A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect. Heavy downpours could cause
rapid rises in water. If rising water is observed, move to higher
ground. Do not drive into areas covered by water.
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.
