12What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 16, 8:20 PM EDT, 6 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 8:20 PM EDT, 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Charleston WV 820 PM EDT Thu Jun 16 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Thunderstorms continue into the night. Cold front Friday with additional storms. High pressure brings dry,cooler weather this weekend. Heat and some humidity return next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 820 PM thursday... Temperatures and heat indices are lowering across the area this evening; therefore, the heat advisory has been allowed to expire. Have made a few more changes to the evening's PoPs to better reflect the current track of showers/storms. No other changes are needed at this time. As of 605 PM Thursday... Showers and thunderstorms are approaching our northwestern border this evening and are expected to gradually spread further into the area through tonight. Have updated PoPs for the evening to better reflect the current location and timing of showers and storms. Otherwise, the current forecast remains on track with no significant changes needed at this time. As of 120 PM Thursday... Latest surface map shows a stationary front to the east of our area with a cold front located to the northwest. The storms that developed across portions of our mountain counties earlier this morning had pushed east of our area. The surface front is expected to approach the area tonight before pushing southeast on Friday. While not much precipitation is associated with the front at this time. models suggest showers and storms will develop along the boundary and push into portions of southeast Ohio and the northern lowland counties of West Virginia this evening. Other more isolated storms may develop just about anywhere else across the area this afternoon and evening. SPC has indicated there is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across the northern half of our area with a marginal risk across the south. Looking at 12 UTC upper air obs from the region, mid-level lapse rates are fairly steep and the overall atmosphere should be able to support strong to possibly severe storms. For greater detail, please see the latest SPC Day one outlook.../SWODY1/. WPC also has indicated that portions of the region have a marginal risk of excessive rainfall. With PWAT values in excess of 1.5 inches, we will have to monitor for any water issues. There should be a minimum in convective activity for a period of time tonight. However, a weak mid-level wave is forecast to move across the area on Friday. The combination of the cold front, this feature and a warm moist unstable airmass suggests additional storms should develop along and ahead the boundary as it pushes southeast. Highs on Friday are forecast to still be above normal. However, they should be several degrees cooler. These cooler temperatures and drier air behind the front should result in Heat Index values only in the 80s and low 90s. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As of 310 PM Thursday... A stout late spring cold front exits right at the start of this short term period, Friday evening, taking the last of any showers and thunderstorms southeast, out of the area. Models indicate sufficiently dry low level air to preclude significant fog or stratus, although forecast soundings do suggest there can be stratus or stratocu in the mountains into Saturday morning. Otherwise, high pressure building in large and in charge from the northwest by Sunday carries with it the promise of relief from both the heat, and the thunderstorms. Central guidance shows temperatures dropping below normal this weekend, especially Saturday and Saturday night, trending a bit lower than the previous package. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 310 PM Thursday... The heat, and eventually the humidity, return next week, as ridging builds aloft. With that, the chance for showers, and afternoon and evening thunderstorms, encroaches northeast portions of the forecast area Monday night through Tuesday, as a warm front scoots across the Great Lakes and upper Ohio Valley, and then farther south through midweek, as the humidity increases, and a cold front arrives from the northwest. However, the chance for precipitation should diminish, or at least retreat northward, for the overnight and early morning hours, on loss of heating. Central guidance indicates temperatures returning well above normal, but with only a gradual and modest increase in dew points, into the mid to upper 60s across the lowlands for midweek. && .AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 805 PM Thursday... VFR is generally expected to continue through tonight, though temporary reductions to MVFR or worse may occur within storms. A few storms have developed along the mountains, while more robust storms are present to the north. Showers and storms are expected to continue near PKB, CKB, EKN, and BKW into early tonight, then coverage should diminish. Showers and storms are expected to increase in coverage again during the day Friday as a cold front crosses through the area. VFR should persist, except within these showers and storms. Winds will gradually relax through the evening, with light southwesterly flow then expected overnight. Winds strengthen to around 6-12KTs, with gusts of 15-25KTs during the day Friday. Winds remain southwesterly ahead of the front, then transition to west-northwesterly in its wake. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium. ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Duration and extent of showers/storms tonight could vary from the forecast. Patchy valley fog could be possible overnight. Timing/extent of showers and storms on Friday may also vary from the forecast.
