already fallen. Flash flooding was either occurring or expected to 
begin shortly.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
257 PM EDT Fri May 31 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front exits southeast this morning. An upper air
disturbance brings more showers and storms today. A stronger
cold front Sunday. High pressure early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
As of 245 PM Friday...

The start of this period will have some scattered showers and
thunderstorms into the evening. Instability will start to
diminish with values under 1000 J/kg of CAPE, no upper level
support and weak shear which will suppress the chances for any
strong to severe storms that may develop in the evening into
the night. The weak low shifts east and takes the unsettled
weather with it by nightfall. Most clouds will clear out and
radiational cooling will allow for temperatures to down into
the 50's by early morning. Patchy fog will develop in most areas
especially around river valleys. No precipitations is expected
for the rest of the forecast period and the area will experience
a nice break until Saturday afternoon when a broad trough with
an associated surface low approaches the area from the
northwest raising chance of precipitation in the northern half
of the area.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 210 AM Friday...

Much of Saturday will be dry, although showers and thunderstorms
are likely particularly across the north, as frontal boundary
sags south towards the area. Risk of severe on Saturday remains
low, but heavy downpours will continue to be a possibility in
the moisture laden atmosphere.

Greater chances for showers and storms on Sunday and Sunday
night as a cold front sweeps through the area. Some storms on
Sunday could be strong to severe, particularly across the north
where better dynamics will exist.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 210 AM Friday...

Cooler and less humid air mass expected for the start of next
week behind frontal passage. Unsettled weather returns by mid to
late week as a series of disturbances affect the area.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 245 PM Friday...

MVFR conditions with occasional IFR can be expected through
this forecast period. Lower MVFR ceilings will exit the area
along with a weak low to the east through this period. By the
evening most of the instability will be rung out so not
expecting any thunderstorms from late evening on. Mostly clear
skies may allow for some widespread patchy fog to occur with
heavier fog in sites that are near river valleys. Have coded IFR
conditions for fog around 9Z until 13Z, breaking up at 14Z.
Soundings do indicate the boundary layer will become saturated
and this is a good sign that fog will initiate, so confidence
is high. Wind will be near calm overnight and pick up out of the
west at around 5KT by late morning. Fair weather and VFR
conditions persist for the rest of the period, however things
will start to deteriorate as a frontal system approaches from
the northwest in the late afternoon.
