AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
241 PM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Remnants of Helene spreading strong gusty winds and additional
rainfall thru this evening. More rain chances over the weekend into
early next week. Drier weather takes hold middle of next week.

&&

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

Key Points:

 * Flash Flood Watch in effect until 8 PM tonight for southwest
   VA, mountains of WV and the Tri-State Area.

 * High Wind Warning in effect until 8 PM tonight across the
   mountains of southwest VA and WV.

 * Wind Advisory in effect until 8 PM tonight for portions of
   the coalfields, foothills and mountains of WV, as well as
   portions of the the Tri-State Area.

Radar imagery indicate the center of circulation of Tropical Storm
Helene, roughly over eastern KY, is moving slowly west northwest.
Although most of the convection closer to its center is expected to
exit west later this afternoon, outer rain bands are noted over
VA moving towards out eastern mountains. Expect moderate to
heavy rain, and strong gusty winds along these outer bands
through this evening. These features will affect mainly the
eastern mountains and portions of the northern sections at least
through midnight.

Winds are expected to subside considerably after sunset. Flash flood
watch remains in effect until 8 PM this evening. Wind advisory and
High Wind warnings continue in effect until 8 PM this evening.

General guidance suggests plenty of low level stratus developing
tonight. Abundant low level moisture will keep lows tonight
generally in the lower 60s to upper 50s. Near normal afternoon
temperatures are anticipated on Saturday, depending on abundant
cloudiness.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 210 PM Friday...

Upper low will slowly drift back over the area Sunday into Monday,
with generally light shower activity as it does so, although heavier
amounts are possible in any enhanced showers or convection that is
able to occur, and WPC has maintained a marginal risk across the
area for Sunday, and across eastern zones for Monday.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 1208 PM Friday...

Low should open into a wave and generally move east of the area by
Tuesday. However, it will be quickly followed by a front that will
sweep across the area sometime in the Tuesday night or early
Wednesday time frame. High pressure will then build in behind the
departing system for drier, and mild conditions across the area,
along with low RH.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 144 PM Friday...

MVFR/IFR conditions will continue along bands of light to
moderate rain moving across the southern and eastern terminals
this afternoon. It appears to be a dry slot south and east of
the circulation from Helene that will spread from south to north
through early this evening, as Helene moves slowly west
northwest. Therefore, expect visibility to improve outside
showers or storms. However, ceilings may remain under MVFR/IFR
along and near the mountains tonight.

As most precipitation exits west of the area this evening, isolated
and weaker rain bands may move over our area from time to time to
produce moderate rain and gusty winds. Expect the atmosphere to
decouple some overnight, reducing winds.

Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots gusting up to 50 knots will be
possible at some terminals before the system moves west this
evening. Expect winds to decrease to 5 to 10 knots, gusting up to 28
knots along the higher elevations, but loosing the gustiness across
the lowlands outside any shower overnight tonight.

Central guidance suggest low stratus developing across the central
and northeast mountains from 06Z through 13Z Friday morning.

Surface winds 10 knots or less will prevail across the lowlands
later tonight, with few gusts along the higher elevations.
