AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
712 PM EDT Wed Jun 3 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A slow moving cold front this evening. Storm chances linger
through Saturday. High pressure brings dry weather Sunday
through Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 4 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
As of 600 PM Wednesday...

Updated the forecast to better represent the line of
thunderstorms moving southward over central Ohio and northern
West Virginia.

As of 210 PM Wednesday...

A cold front moves in slowly late this afternoon/evening from
the north, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the northern
part of the area. Some of these storms may be severe with
damaging winds and hail as the primary threats possible. The
storms should begin to dissipate out by Thursday morning, while
a low pressure system moves in from the west and brings more
showers and possibly thunderstorms across the area from the
northwest to the southeast. The models are showing a fair amount
of instability tomorrow, so severe weather may be possible
again in the afternoon and evening. Current forecast
precipitation accumulations over near term period are between
half an inch to an inch across the area, with the higher
amounts along the mountains and northern part of the area.
Localized water issues may occur due to the precipitation we
have received over the past few weeks still keeping some areas
relatively saturated, particularly with any heavy downpours from
the storms.

Temperatures tonight will be in the mid to upper 60s across the
lowlands, with low to mid 60s for the higher elevations. Highs
tomorrow should be in the low to mid 80s for the lowlands, with
70s to low 80s in the mountains.

&&

.SHORT TERM /4 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 200 PM Wednesday...

The quasi stationary frontal boundary over our northern sections
will become diffused by early Friday under a semi zonal flow aloft.
Model soundings show a rather dry column at most places. PWATs
around 1.5 inches and sfc dewpoints in the upper 60s will contribute
for unstable conditions Friday afternoon and evening. Sfc CAPE
values exceeding 2,500 J/Kg. Deep layered shear will be decreasing
to less that 20 knots by mid day Friday. However, models show
ripples of vorticity maxima moving over the area, bringing some
forcing. Therefore, expect showers and storms to develop along
outflow boundaries, elevated terrain and differential heating
boundaries, but they will be short lived and remain below severe
limits. Conditions could remain active Friday night per abundant low
level moisture. There is a Marginal risk for excessive rainfall
across the extreme southeast WV and southwest VA until 12Z Saturday.

A cold front is expected to push slowly southeast early Saturday,
allowing afternoon convection to fire up ahead of the front across
the southern coalfields of WV and VA. Showers and storms could be
strong ahead of the front per large instability with MUCAPE
exceeding 2500 J/Kg and deep layered shear about 35 knots.

Once the cold front pushes southeast by 00Z Sunday, northwest flow
behind the front will bring dry and pleasant weather. SFC dewpoints
will drop into the 50s Sunday afternoon under mostly clear skies.

Temperatures will remain above normal through the period except
near normal lows for Sunday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 200 PM Wednesday...

Cooler and fresher airmass filters in behind the cold front, as
a broad sfc high pressure builds in from the north. Expect a
dry extended period with moderate temperatures of next week.
Generally above normal temperatures are expected, except near
normal for Sunday night.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 700 PM Wednesday...

A line of thunderstorms will slowly push southward this evening
over central Ohio and northern West Virginia. Showers and
thunderstorms will remain a possibility over northern West
Virginia and southeastern Ohio overnight. Dense fog could form
in areas that received rainfall this afternoon and evening.

Generally VFR conditions can be expected Thursday morning, with
numerous thunderstorms developing Thursday afternoon.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z
FRIDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: High.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing and location of showers and
thunderstorms could vary. Fog may or may not develop overnight in
areas receiving rainfall this afternoon and evening.
