Area forecast discussion, Nov 26, 10:56 AM EST, 2 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Charleston WV 1056 AM EST Tue Nov 26 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Tranquil weather today under high pressure. Clouds, showers and winds will increase Thursday as a cold front crosses. Another strong frontal system for the weekend into early next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 1030 AM Tuesday... No changes needed for today through this evening with a rather nice late November date already unfolding. Upper level cloudiness increases this afternoon with rain overspreading the region during the overnight. Main concern with this system will be windy to very windy conditions with a 60-70KT low level jet developing by Wednesday morning as widespread precipitation tapers off. These winds should initially struggle to transfer their momentum to the surface under warm air advection, but models do hint at rapid clearing with relatively deep convective mixing (for late November) tapping into higher wind speeds aloft prior to arrival of a cold front. With arrival of the cold front will see much more effective momentum transfer via a combination of cold air and a potential line of showers immediately ahead of the front. Winds aloft do begin to slacken by this time, so would expect a fairly narrow window of winds approaching advisory criteria for the lowlands a couple hours ahead and behind the front while windy to very windy conditions may continue in the mountains of WV through Wednesday night. Will be evaluating potential for wind advisories and perhaps even a couple high wind warnings for the highest elevations with the afternoon package. As of 510 AM Tuesday... I was inclined to modify temperatures to match current observations and trends as temps are slightly colder than anticipated at various locations. Otherwise, the forecast remains on track. As of 325 AM Tuesday... Today, southerly flow will draw in warm and moist air and combined with high pressure will help temperatures climb into the low to mid 60's by this afternoon. Mostly clear skies turn to cloudy by this evening due to mid and high clouds spreading across the area in response to a cold frontal boundary approaching from the west. This feature will progressively lower cloud heights and increase chances of rain starting around midnight tonight. Tonights lows will be anomalously higher than average with most locations not falling below 45 degrees although the mountains should be at least a few degrees cooler. With strong steering flow in place the feature will spread rain across the area quickly along with increasing winds substantially. Likely rain showers will takeover most of the area by mid-morning along with gusty winds reaching as high as 30mph areawide. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... As of 421 AM Tuesday... Surface Low pressure system lift from the southern plains, northeast reaching the Great Lakes region early Wednesday. Models suggest some intensification Wednesday afternoon. An associated cold front will cross west to east Wednesday afternoon, spreading showers and gusty winds. Model consensus in isentropic surface 285K shows cold front packing 35 knots at the surface Wednesday. While in the warm sector, temperatures will rise in the upper 60s lowlands and into th upper 40s highest elevations on Wednesday. However, strong cold advection behind the front will produce a drastic change in temperatures dropping into the mid 40s for highs Thursday afternoon. Heaviest rain still looks to be across the mid Ohio Valley region. Cold front exits to the east of the mountains by mid to late afternoon Thursday, with cooler air filtering into the region behind the front. Wind advisory may be needed for wind gust up or exceeding 40 knots. Will keep the mention for this in the HWO. Relatively tranquil weather expected on Thanksgiving Day with another surface low pressure tracks northeast && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 421 AM Tuesday... Relatively tranquil weather expected on Thanksgiving Day, while another surface low pressure tracks from the southern plains, northeast into the Great region by late Friday afternoon. Pcpn becomes widespread Friday evening. Strong southerly flow out ahead of the system will mean most precipitation will start out in the form of rain, but there is a possibility for colder weather and snow to round out the weekend/into early next week as moisture wraps around the departing low. && .AVIATION /16Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 630 AM Tuesday... This morning most fog development was suppressed although just a little valley fog resides just north of CRW and down near BKW. Today, the area will experience weaker southerly flow and mostly clear skies along with VFR into tonight. Mid to high clouds will be on the rise later today into the evening with flow starting to pick up in response to a surface low approaching to the northeast and stronger upper level flow moving in as well. This will also bring in lower clouds fairly quick and cause CIGs to progressively decrease through the overnight. By early morning Wednesday we can expect borderline MVFR CIGs and also showers to be on the increase moving in from the west. Model guidance hints at fog developing in the mountains overnight suggesting EKN/BKW may see MVFR visibility along with HTS/PKB as the rain enters the area. Winds will be on the rise and by the late Wednesday morning gusty conditons will spread across the area with all TAF sites potentially seeing up to 30KT gusts by this time frame and will continue to increase through the day. Low level wind shear will be a slight factor and even though it will be windy at the SFC, winds have potential to be a lot stronger in the boundary layer with a vigorous low level jet setting up. As such, added shear to the BKW TAF, other may have to be added in the later shift. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE: High. ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Ceilings may be lower if stratus materializes ahead of the cold front early morning on Wednesday (low probability). Also, IFR VIS is possible under a heavier shower.
