AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
240 PM EDT Fri Aug 5 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers/storms through Wednesday, more likely in the afternoon
and evening hours. Flash flooding possible through the weekend.
Cold front end of next week brings drier conditions.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 240 PM Friday...

The area remains primed for isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms throughout the near term period as passing
shortwaves tap into moisture flowing in along southwest flow and
diurnal heating. At the time of writing, showers remained
prevalent across the western flank of the forecast area where
overcast skies vanquished any peeks of sunshine while the Middle
Ohio Valley into West Virginia observed enough clearing today
to allow for convection to sprout.

Forecast soundings depict steering flow aloft to be rather
light today, which will result in storm motion to be relatively
slow towards the northeast. Radar analysis paints small storm
cores of having 1-2" of rain encompassed within most cells this
afternoon, which coupled with slow movement spells the potential
for flash flooding. Have already seen a few instance of flash
flooding within these slow moving storms, and will likely remain
the trend heading into the evening.

Convection could remain ongoing overnight despite the loss of
daytime heating with passing shortwave contribution allowing for
its longevity. Any break that does transpire will be brief as
shower and thunderstorms redevelop early on Saturday, beginning
along the Ohio River Valley in the morning and then ramping up
along the higher terrain the afternoon and evening hours. Little
change in upper level flow will then once again support slow
moving convection and the potential for flash flooding for the
conclusion of the near term period.

Hourly temperatures will be disturbed through the course of the
afternoon by cold pools brought upon by downbursts within
thunderstorms. This will become the case once again on Saturday
afternoon when showers and thunderstorms peruse overhead.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 205 PM Friday...

Sunday will be somewhat seasonal with passing clouds and highs in
the mid to lower 80s through out the CWA. An upper level disturbance
will be situated over Western PA as well as shortwave trough that
could cause some showers and storms, some could be on the stronger
side with CAPE values around 1500-2000 J/KG. Once again this could
be a concern for flash flooding if any storms train over certain
areas. Will continue with the flood watch through Sunday
evening.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 205 PM Friday...

The beginning of the week will be much of the same as a front starts
to move into the area on Tuesday bringing more unsettled weather
before exiting on Thursday. Concerned about additional water
problems as the front moves through Wednesday. A secondary less
active front then moves through on Friday, which means next
weekend will be dry with mild temperatures and low humidity.
Current models are predicting low temperatures to be in the 60s
in the lowlands and 40s-50s in the mountains.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 155 PM Friday...

The episodic period of active weather continues through this
TAF package as showers and thunderstorms sprout during peak
heating hours. Strong and healthy storms will be capable of
depleting flight conditions as they pass over a terminal, so all
sites will have an inclusion of TEMPOs to reflect possible vsby
reductions heading into this evening. AMDs may be warranted
through the course of the next few hours pending uptick in winds
and lower vsbys than advertised.

Convection dwindles late this evening, but river valley fog then
takes control for the early morning hours Saturday. Harder hit
areas from rain today will likely observe IFR or worse fog
overnight into the predawn hours. Any fog that does develop will
then erode after sunrise Sunday morning.

Additional shower and storm chances will take shape Saturday
afternoon and will once again put a hindrance on flight rules
for the final few hours of the current TAF period.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Coverage and timing of convection may vary
this afternoon and evening pending radar trends.
