AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
254 PM EDT Sun Apr 14 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm and breezy afternoon starting with light rain. Powerful
cold front moves later this afternoon to bring numerous showers
and severe storms through the evening hours. High pressure
returns and lasts through much of the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 239 PM Sunday...

A vigorous surface low pressure system will track just northeast
of the area this afternoon. Meanwhile, an associated cold front
will reach the OH River around 8 PM this evening. A high deep
shear exceeding 80 knots, CAPE values exceeding 1600 J/Kg,
strong boundary layer convergence will provide enough forcing to
produce severe updrafts and consequently severe thunderstorms.
There is a Tornado Watch in effect for most parts of southeast
OH, northeast KY and eastern half of WV. The main threat will be
damaging winds. Although large hail and tornadoes can not be
ruled out. The timing of the worst thunderstorms will occur from
4pm through 10 pm tonight. Stay tuned to the NOAA weather radio
or your favorite media sources for updates on this dangerous
weather situation.

The threat for severe storms will diminish before midnight
tonight over the northeast and central mountains of WV.
Much colder air will filter in behind the cold front to drop
temperatures into the upper 30s tonight, as models consensus
points out H850 temperatures reaching minus 5C or 6C. There is a
small chance for few snow flakes or mix snow with rain to be
seen over the highest tops of our northeast mountains by Monday
morning. However, no accumulations are anticipated.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 225 PM Sunday...

Drier with high pressure over the area through the short term
period. Temperatures warm each day through the week as high
pressure/ridging continues to build over the region.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 225 PM Sunday...

We will end the week with a strong system/cold front pushing
through. This will bring a round of showers and thunderstorms,
with heavy downpours due to deep moisture fetch from Gulf of
Mexico. Still some timing differences between the models, but
severe storm could be possible if the system speeds up and hits
Thursday afternoon/evening or if a slower solution brings it
through Friday afternoon. Most guidance at this time has it
coming during the overnight hours Thursday into Friday morning,
and this would limit severe thunderstorm potential, but heavy
rain would remain a threat.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 200 PM Sunday...

VFR conditions prevailing through at least 20Z. Then, clouds
and convection will fire up this afternoon to produce periods of
IFR/LIFR along the strongest storms. Southerly flow will
increase to 15-20 knots with gusts around 40-45 knots with
strongest storms.

Weather charts analysis show a warm front slowly lifting north
producing light rain across the eastern third of the forecast
area this afternoon. This activity is expected to exit east of
the Appalachians by 4 pm. Meanwhile, the area will remain in the
warm sector of a vigorous surface low pressure system. This low
will track northeast of the area into this evening, bringing a
strong cold front which should arrive to southeast OH around 20Z
this afternoon. Numerous showers and strong thunderstorms will
develop to produce winds gusts exceeding 50 knots with the
stronger storms. Lightning and possible tornadoes are also
expected to develop from 1-2pm through at least 8pm this
evening.

LLWS and heavy turbulence is likely with this storm system. By
06Z Monday, the cold front will be east of the Appalachian,
while colder airmass move in behind the front. Available low
level moisture, and cooling temperatures could produce post rain MVFR/IFR
ceilings or fog during the late overnight hours into Monday
morning.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: High.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of severe winds and associated IFR
or worst conditions could vary. Amendments will be necessary
for direct hit storms to airports.
