Area forecast discussion, May 21, 3:44 PM EDT, 28 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
344 PM EDT Mon May 21 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak warm front moves northward today. Cold front crosses
Tuesday night. High pressure to end the work week but more
unsettled weather arrives in time for the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 145 PM Monday...

Front which was stalled near I-64 is starting to drift back
north early this afternoon... a trend which should continue
through the remaining of the afternoon. Starting to get showers
popping up near and south of the front which will also
gradually expand in the instability of the warm sector this
afternoon and drift northward into this evening. Also currently have
a cluster of showers and storms approaching the far NW forecast
area which. Models had been struggling a bit with activity
north of the front, but HRRR seems to have latched on to this
and carries it across the NW corner of the CWA over the next
couple hours. Shear is not all that great today -- 0-6km bulk
shear maxes out around 25kts across the west and north, but with
plenty of instability some storms may become strong to severe
with gusty outflow and hail the main threat. With slower storm
motion and precipitable water around 1.5 inches, any repetitive
cells could lead to isolated water concerns.

In a rather juicy atmosphere think at least some isolated to
scattered showers and storms will linger through the night so
kept POPs going.

A cold front will approach from the west late Tuesday. Ahead of
this front we should see areas of showers and thunderstorms
across the forecast area. Did go with an area of likely POPs
crossing from west to east through the day associated with an
upper level shortwave trough running out ahead of the surface
cold front. With lots of clouds around all day, instability is
pretty sparse, but with the upper level support and some
surface convergence an isolated stronger storm or two is
possible.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 344 PM Tuesday...

The cold front will pass through Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning with a good chance showers and a few thunderstorms. A
drier airmass moves in behind this front by Wednesday afternoon
and persists through Thursday night. Dewpoints drop into the 50s
behind the front so a dry and rather comfortable period is
expected Wednesday night through Thursday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 344 PM Tuesday...

High pressure moves east of the area on Friday, and return flow
begins to transport increasing amounts of moisture northward
from the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic into our area.
Dewpoints will increase into the 60s on Friday and there will be
a small chance for a shower and/or storm to develop over our
southern counties. This threat for showers/storms will then
expand northward Saturday through Monday. Generally kept with
the blended model guidance for the weekend forecast to wash out
any model differences regarding how fast the moisture returns
and the track of the responsible storm system which develops
over the Gulf. This results in chance PoPs throughout the
weekend with highs in the 80s Friday and Saturday, dropping to
the 70s to near 80 on Monday.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 145 PM Monday...

A warm front will lift through today with showers and
thunderstorms. Very tough to time these out to any specific
terminal so went with general vicinity mention right now and
expect amendments will be needed as cells approach different
sites. Coverage low enough to let this fall off overnight, but
still expect some echos on radar overnight. Ahead of a cold
front, expect more showers and storms on Tuesday.

Any storms will be capable of brief restrictions.
