AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
235 PM EDT Fri May 3 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Wave moves across today with showers and storms, some heavy.
Unsettled weather continues through early Sunday. Drier and
warmer to start next week. Next system mid to late week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 1140 AM Friday...

Previous forecast mostly on track. Still looking at wave of low
pressure currently over lower OH Valley region to move northeast
into the area later this afternoon and evening, with an increase
in shower and thunderstorm activity as it does so. Several
breaks in clouds, generally east of the Ohio River today, will
help to aid in destabilization across the area, and this with
approaching wave may lead to storms on the strong side. Greatest
threats will once again be strong wind gusts, and heavy
downpours. Isolated flooding is possible, but overall threat
looks to remain rather low, with generally dry conditions, and
good storm motion. However, depending on how much
coverage/amounts of precipitation occurs today, will determine
if threat is further enhanced on Saturday. At this time, WPC has
a slight risk for excessive rainfall across much of the CWA for
Saturday.

Overall, precipitation will taper off late tonight as the wave
moves off to the east, with a break expected until late Saturday
afternoon and evening, when another wave, and frontal boundary
will move through the area. Overall severe threat on Saturday
remains low, and is mainly to the east and south of the CWA.

Areas of fog look to be a possibility again tonight,
particularly in areas that realize breaks in the clouds.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 230 PM Friday...

The last of a series of shortwaves crosses through the region
Saturday night, departing to the southeast by midday Sunday,
along with its associated showers. This allows for high pressure
and ridging aloft to encroach over the Ohio River Valley region
through the remainder of the period. During this time, expect to
see temperatures rise back up to around normal for this time of
year under mostly clear skies and calm winds.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 230 PM Friday...

The start of the long term remains fairly dry as high pressure
starts its eastward progression out of the region. By Tuesday,
the CWA will find itself within the warm sector of an
approaching disturbance, setting up another round of moisture
transport and warm air advection.

Clouds creep southward into the region by Wednesday ahead of
showers and thunderstorms in response to a shortwave
progressing overhead. These showers and storms will continue
once again Thursday before the system exits to the east by the
end of the work week. Afternoon highs are anticipated to remain
slightly above normal through the period.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 130 PM Friday...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms through 03Z, with brief
IFR/LIFR conditions, small hail, and gusty winds. After 03Z,
isold showers and thunderstorms will continue, mainly across
eastern WV, but bulk of activity will diminish. After 03Z,
expect widespread MVFR and local IFR stratus and fog. Some
general improvement to high MVFR/low VFR after 14Z Saturday,
however, showers and thunderstorms will begin to ramp back up
again towards the end of the TAF period.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS:  Timing of showers, storms, and associated
restrictions may vary today. Development and restrictions
associated with fog and/or stratus tonight may vary from
forecast.
