AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV 330 PM EDT SAT JUL 16 2005 .SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)... THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION. THIS ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO HAVE ABUNDANT MOISTURE SO THE SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE DYING OFF ONCE THE SUNSETS AND THE ORGANIZED LIFT DISSIPATES. THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY IN THE SOUTHEAST FLOW THAT COULD TRIGGER SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS OVERNIGHT SO HAVE LEFT A SLIGHT CHANCE POP OVERNIGHT. HAVE LOWER THE SKY COVER AS WELL OVERNIGHT AS EACH OF THE LAST FEW NIGHTS THE CLOUDS HAVE BROKEN UP PRETTY WELL AS THE ATMOSPHERE LACKS LIFT. FOR TEMPERATURES...SAW NO REASON TO DEVIATE FROM PERSISTENCE AT THIS TIME. && .LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)... DENNIS IS FINALLY ON THE MOVE...BUT THIS DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY TRANSLATE INTO CONSEQUENTIAL CHANGE IN THE VERY WARM AND HUMID CONVECTIVE PATTERN OF LATE. WITH HIGH PWS...DEEP MOISTURE AND MOIST ADIABATIC PROFILES FROM THE SURFACE UP ON 12Z SOUNDINGS...TOGETHER WITH DENNIS SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH MAINLY NORTHWEST HALF OF FORECAST AREA...CHANCE POPS WARRANTED THROUGHOUT THE DAY SUNDAY ONCE AGAIN...WITH HIGH CHANCE (50%) FOR THE AFTERNOON. IN THE WAKE OF DENNIS...COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST MONDAY AND WASHES OUT TUESDAY. ETA DRIVES FRONT FARTHER SOUTH THAN GFS...LATTER GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN AGREEMENT WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES AND CENTRAL GUIDANCE. THIS GOES ALONG WITH MODEL TRENDS OF PUSHING FRONTS TOO FAR SOUTH...NOT CLIMATOLOGICALLY FOR THE MIDDLE OF JULY WITH LONG WAVE RIDGE OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. WITH THIS IN MIND...DID INCREASE POPS FROM THE NORTHWEST MONDAY...DROPPED OFF MONDAY NIGHT AND THEN BACK IN FOR TUESDAY. FOR THE EXTENDED...DIURNAL SUMMER CYCLE OF CONVECTION CONTINUES IN THE ABSENCE OF A COOL...DRY CANADIAN AIR MASS TO CLEAN OUT THE MESS LEFT BEHIND BY DENNIS. ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES LATE IN THE WEEK BUT THIS WAS HELD BACK IN THE FORECAST GRIDS PER SAME LINE OF REASONING AS ITS PREDECESSOR EARLIER IN THE WEEK. THE TEMPERATURES WERE CLOSE TO GUIDANCE ON LOWS AND A BLEND ON HIGHS...HIGHER THAN THE LOW MAV NUMBERS IN MOST CASES. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION (18Z TO 18Z)... (ISSUED 200 PM EDT SAT JUL 16 2005) AVIATION... SCATTERED CONVECTION IS WELL UNDERWAY ACROSS THE REGION AT THIS TIME. THE SKY HAS CLEARED IN MANY AREAS...BUT WHERE THE CLOUDS ARE IS ALSO WHERE THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LOCATED. FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS...BUT WITH THE CONVECTION AROUND...CONDITIONS WILL TEMPORARILY DROP INTO MVFR OR IFR RANGE WHEN THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE PAST. BY TONIGHT...EXPECT THE VFR CONDITION TO BE PREVALENT AS THE SKY IS INITIALLY SCATTERED TO CLEAR. SOME FOG SHOULD DEVELOP OVERNIGHT WITH POSSIBLY SOME MID DECK CLOUDS AS WELL. EXPECT MOST LOCATION TO REMAIN AT MVFR LEVELS WITH THE FOG...BUT SOME DIPS LOWER THAN THAT AFTER 6Z ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AT EKN. FOR SUNDAY...WILL BE WATCH SEVERAL SHORTWAVES THAT ARE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD IN THE FLOW. THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS CONVECTION HAS BEGUN EARLY AROUND 14Z OR SO ACROSS THE NRN SITES AND WITH THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY COMING...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THAT HAPPENS AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING...BUT AT THIS POINT..HAVE NOT INCLUDED THIS IN THE TAF. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 1015 AM EDT SAT JUL 16 2005) SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)... MID MORNING CONVECTION IS AGAIN FIRING THIS MORNING OVER NRN WV WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS BEGINNING TO BREAK OUT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS. EXPECTING ACTIVITY TO REPEAT MUCH OF WHAT WAS SEEN THE LAST FEW DAYS WHERE CONVECTION SEEMS TO LAST THROUGH MID TO LATE AFTERNOON BEFORE DYING OUT AND ACTUALLY ALLOWING SOME LATE DAY SUN. HAVE THE POPS PEAKING AROUND 20Z BEFORE BRINGING THEM DOWN LATE IN THE DAY HAVE ALSO LOWERED THE SKY GRIDS LATE IN THE DAY AS WELL AS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. TWEAK TEMPERATURES UP A BIT BASED ON PERSISTENCE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 227 AM EDT SAT JUL 16 2005) LONG TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)... RIDGING PATTERN BECOMES MORE ESTABLISHED THROUGH SUNDAY AND MONDAY. EXPECT DECREASING CHANCES OF AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON...AS POTENTIAL FOR CAPPING INCREASES. RAN WITH A 40 POP FOR SUNDAY AND 30 FOR MONDAY TO REFLECT THIS THINKING. DESPITE DECREASING POPS...PW VALUES REMAIN HIGH AND STORM MOTIONS WILL NOT BE VERY QUICK...SO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS ARE STILL POSSIBLE. ALLOW POPS TO DROP OFF TO SLIGHT CHANCE DURING THE NIGHT...BUT RELUCTANT TO GO WITH SUB-15 POPS AT ANY TIME DUE TO CONTINUED PRESENCE OF TROPICAL AIRMASS. LEANED TOWARDS THE HIGHER SIDE OF GUIDANCE NUMBERS SUNDAY AND MONDAY AFTERNOONS...WITH H850 TEMPS STILL RIDING AROUND THE +17/+18 RANGE. THERE STILL WILL BE PLENTY OF CLOUDS AROUND BUT EXPECT ENOUGH BREAKS TO ALLOW UPPER 80S TO BE REALIZED OVER MANY AREAS. GUIDANCE WELL-CLUSTERED DURING THE NIGHTTIME PERIODS AND STAYED CLOSE. FRONTAL BOUNDARY STILL SLATED TO ENTER/CROSS AREA ON TUESDAY. DEPENDING ON TIMING...COULD PROVIDE A MORE CONCENTRATED AREA OF RAINFALL WITH BETTER CHANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER. BEHIND THIS FRONT...LESS HUMID AIR WILL INVADE. ELECTED NOT TO TOUCH THIS PORTION OF FORECAST FOR NOW TO ALLOW MORE FINE-TUNING WITH FUTURE MODEL RUNS. && .RLX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WV...NONE. OH...NONE. KY...NONE. VA...NONE. && SHORT TERM...ESS LONG TERM...TRM
