AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
819 PM EDT Mon Jul 27 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front crosses Tuesday. High pressure crosses Wednesday.
Low pressure passes south Thursday. Another low and cold front
approach over the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 815 PM Monday...

Forecast on track save for just a few touch-ups, with a round
of showers and thunderstorms moving east across the forecast
area, and another upstream, ahead of a cold front approaching
from the northwest.

As of 1230 PM Monday...

With dewpoints in the lower 70s in advance of an approaching
cold front, expect scattered showers and thunderstorms this
afternoon and evening. The cold front will push into the region
late tonight and slowly move southeastward through the area on
Tuesday. This will allow for additional showers and
thunderstorms. With the precipitation and cooling 850 mb
temperatures on Tuesday, expect a decrease in afternoon highs
Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 230 PM Monday...

The cold front will push out to the southeast on Tuesday night with
chances of showers and thunderstorms diminishing throughout the
night. Wednesday will be mostly dry as surface high pressure moves
in briefly behind the front. Small chances of precipitation will be
possible for the afternoon and evening hours, with the highest
chances mostly in the mountains and along the southern part of the
region. An upper level trough will also continue to stay over the
area through the period, aiding the potential for showers and
thunderstorms to occur. High temperatures on Wednesday will be
around/slightly above normal in the mid to upper 80s and
potentially reaching 90 in some locations for the lowlands, and
low 70s to low 80s for the highest elevations.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 230 PM Monday...

An upper level disturbance will affect the area on Thursday, leading
to more widespread and greater chances of showers and
thunderstorms than Wednesday. The highest precipitation chances
will be along the south, where models are showing a bit more
moisture, and the precipitation chances will likely linger
through Friday night. Models show a surface low pressure system
potentially approaching from the west sometime Friday into
Saturday, once again leading to storm chances. Upper level
troughing continues to hold in general over the area through
much of the long term period. A better developed surface low
approaches from the southwest for the end of the weekend and
into the start of the next work week. Overall, the models agree
with the general progression and timing of this low. They show
the low moving through or just the north of the area, beginning
to affect the area on Sunday and passing through on
Monday/Monday night. Temperatures should be around normal for
the remainder of the week and the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 815 PM Monday...

Two rounds of showers and thunderstorms will move south and
east across the area tonight, ahead of a cold front approaching
from the northwest. The first round was already just east of the
Ohio River as of 00Z, and will traverse WV by 06Z or so. The
second round will move across the middle Ohio Valley 00Z-06Z and
WV 06Z-12Z. IFR is possible in thunderstorms or their
associated fog tails.

The chance for thunder decreases as one goes farther south and
east, so that there is less chance with the second round, and
little chance for thunder at BKW tonight.

MVFR stratocu and mist will follow the front over the middle
Ohio Valley Tuesday morning. IFR fog is possible in areas that
receive rainfall. but there will be enough flow to prevent
widespread IFR fog.

Conditions will slowly improve across the middle Ohio Valley
Tuesday as drier air filters in behind the cold front, but
showers are likely Tuesday afternoon across central and southern
WV, with thunderstorms also possible, as the cold front slowly
crosses.

Light southwest surface flow overnight, except strong gusts
possible in thunderstorms, will become light west on Tuesday, as
the cold front crosses. Light to moderate west flow aloft
tonight will become light west on Tuesday.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: High, except with timing of
showers/thunderstorms.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing and intensity of showers and
thunderstorms could vary. Fog may form tonight in areas that
receive rainfall.
