Allowed flood watch to expire as flood warnings have largely replaced it in areal extent. As of 946 PM Thursday... With the loss of instability, and following convection trends, disorganized convection continues moving across the area this evening. Therefore, removed mention of thunderstorms during the overnight hours. However, expecting storms to develop once again early Friday. Rest of forecast remains on track. As of 515 PM Thursday... Expanded the Food Watch farther east and south, which now encompasses all of our lowlands, all until 2 AM early Friday morning. This is also more in line with Tornado Watch 105, in effect until 9 PM tonight. As of 235 PM Thursday... Key Points: * Afternoon and evening thunderstorms pose a risk for severe weather, with damaging winds, tornadoes, hail, and locally heavy downpours all possible. * A Flood Watch is in effect for southeast Ohio and parts of West Virginia through tonight. * A Wind Advisory remains in effect for the West Virginia foothills and mountains through this evening. Active weather today will serve up the possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms, the risk of flooding, and breezy to strong non-convective winds. Severe: An advancing low pressure system will set forth a round of severe weather from now until late tonight. Lingering capping inversion/convective inhibition noted on SPC's Mesoanalysis page at the start of forecast diagnosing earlier this afternoon has since eroded, pointing to a destabilizing environment currently underway. Areas that have poked out of the clouds for a time this afternoon have risen a few degrees warmer than areas such as southeast Ohio, who remain masked beneath rain and overcast skies. Should see an uptick in convective activity shortly after this discussion issuance in response to boosting surface temperatures and increasing instability outside of the lower Ohio Valley cloud shield. South to southwesterly mid-level steering flow will propagate storms up from the JKL/MRX forecast areas into the Central Appalachians. Damaging wind gusts will be able to thrive in healthy and mature storms under the aid of breezy to strong low to mid level flow. Increasing wind shear will gradually increase the concern for rotation in storms this afternoon that could reach down to the surface as tornadoes. While not as prominent today due to wind shear limiting vertical growth of storms, a threat for hail will remain present in convection as well today. Activity begins to wind down late tonight as the surface low sends a cold front through the forecast area. The parent H5 trough will continue to press through the area into the end of the work week, keeping the small chance of showers and thunderstorms alive even on Friday. However, little to no instability will be present with storms for the end of the period and therefore the severe threat will be limited. Hydro: Locally heavy downpours associated with convection poses a concern for flooding and a rise along creeks and rivers. This will especially be the case in the event of training storms along already saturated soils present from previous rainfall. A few spots along the Muskingum River in southeast Ohio remain in Action Stage at the time of writing and is anticipated to rise out of its banks on Friday once more. With these concerns, opted to hoist a Flood Watch for this afternoon into late tonight for southeast Ohio and parts of West Virginia that are the most susceptible after last week's deluge of rainfall. Non-Convective Winds: Outside of showers and storms, a strong low level jet currently resides over the Central Appalachians out ahead of the low pressure system. Aforementioned capping inversion held off strong winds from mixing down to the surface, but local observations show wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph now prominent this afternoon. Still anticipating advisory level gusts along the West Virginia foothills and mountains through this evening, so will allow the Wind Advisory to cruise through this evening as planned. Winds remain fairly breezy and strong on Friday, and could foresee another Advisory being needed late tomorrow night into the start of the weekend. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 155 PM Thursday... Gusty winds and continued showery conditions on Friday night into Saturday as tight pressure gradient remains over the area, and several shortwaves move through the region. Some of the higher terrain counties could even see some flakes of snow, but little to no accumulation is expected. As the day progresses Saturday, it should become drier and less windy as the system pulls off to our east and high pressure attempts to build in briefly. Models differ on Sunday, but it looks like we could be in the warm sector of an approaching system, with a cold front dropping south into the region later Sunday into Monday, eventually briefly stalling out before lifting back north in the long term. This will yield showery conditions, with the possibility of isolated thunderstorms Sunday into Sunday evening/night. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 155 PM Thursday... Aforementioned front will lift back north as a warm front early next week, generally later Monday into Tuesday, with a cold front arriving by the middle of next week. Above normal temperatures along with unsettled weather can be expected during the period. && .AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 200 AM Friday... The region remains under the influence of surface low pressure slowly ejecting northeast into the Lower Great Lakes through much of this TAF period. Cool advection will yield stratocumulus ceilings 009-015 with periodic showers affecting all terminals. Breezy conditions will limit any more significant visibility restrictions to the heaviest showers. Limited instability could also yield some isolated thunder with the heaviest showers, especially this afternoon - confidence in convective coverage is presently too low for any mention of VCTS in the TAFs however. Winds breezy from the west through the period, generally 12-18KTs with gusts 25-30KTs. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 06Z SATURDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium. ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Visibility in any heavier showers could decrease more than advertised. Isolated thunderstorms possible this afternoon.
