AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
258 PM EDT THU JUN 22 2006

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
GOOD DIVERGENCE ALOFT THIS AFTERNOON WILL KEEP THE THUNDERSTORMS
GOING IN THE NW PORTION OF THE CWA UNTIL SUNSET. NE ORIENTATION OF
THE FLOW ALOFT SHOULD PUSH THE DIVERGENCE AREA TO THE NE THIS
EVENING. FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SE LATER TONIGHT AS WAVE
MOVES THROUGH FLOW. BUT...IT WILL TAKE SECOND STRONGER WAVE TO
PUSH THE FRONT SOUTH FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THIS WILL MEAN
THE FRONT WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF THE OHIO RIVER THROUGH THE
DAY FRIDAY. EXACT LOCATION OF FRONT WILL MAKE TEMPERATURE FORECAST
TRICKY. HAVE KEPT LOW TEMPS UP TONIGHT OHIO RIVER WEST BUT EXPECT
FEW CLOUDS EAST. MAX TEMP FORECAST FOR FRIDAY HAVE HELD DOWN TEMPS
OHIO RIVER WEST WITH CLOUDS AND PCPN. IN WEST VIRGINIA HAVE PUSHED
THE MAX TEMPS IN SW TO NEAR 90.

&&

.AVIATION...
EXPECT CIGS TO REMAIN IN VFR EXCEPT BRIEF MVFR IN THUNDERSTORMS.
WITH CONTINUING DRY CONDITIONS AND THE FOCUS OF THE UPPER
DIVERGENCE GUIDING THE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTH OF OUR CWA...DO
NOT EXPECT MUCH IN THE WAY OF FOG PROBLEMS. NEW TAFS WILL BETTER
FOCUS ON FOG TONIGHT AFTER WE SEE WHERE RAIN DOES OCCUR.

AVIATION...

A LINE OF CONVECTION HAS FORMED ACROSS CENTRAL OHIO...EASTWARD
THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE OF WEST VIRGINIA.  THIS LINE IS
AFFECTING THE EXTREME NORTHERN FRINGE OF OUR CWA...WITH SOME
SOUTHERN PUSH ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NE AREAS.  AS A RESULT...HAVE
ADDED THUNDERSTORMS TO OUR NORTHERN TIER SITES OF PKB (FOR THE FIRST
COUPLE OF HOURS)...AND CKB AND EKN FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNING.
THESE STORMS SEEM TO BE GOING AROUND PKB...SO A TEMPO GROUP SEEMS
REASONABLE THERE.  THE SOUTHERN SURGE IS THANKS TO AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY THE BEGAN TO SLIDE SOUTH A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO.  THIS
NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES WILL REMAIN THE PRIME AREA FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH FRONTS AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES NEAR THAT AREA.

OVERNIGHT TONIGHT STILL REMAINS THE BEST CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION AS THE COLD FRONT NEARS.  AS A RESULT...HAVE LOWERED VIS
WITH FOG AND HAVE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST.  INCLUDED THE
MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTHERN SITES...AT AT THE VERY LEAST
CB FOR THE REST...AS THEY WILL BE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE INTRUDING
FRONT.

PREV DISCUSSION...
 /ISSUED 336 AM EDT THU JUN 22 2006/

SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT/...

FRONTS REMAIN TO OUR NORTHWEST...LEAVING US IN THE WARM SECTOR
STILL.  CLOSEST TO THE FRONT...SE OHIO AND N AND W WEST VIRGINIA
WILL SEE THE BEST CHANCE OF MORNING AND AFTERNOON CONVECTION TODAY.
OTHERWISE...SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY AFTERNOON...MUCH OF THE REMAINDER
OF THE CWA SHOULD EXPERIENCE OFF AND ON HIGH CLOUDS FOR THE MOST
PART.  STILL WE ARE IN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT...SO A ROUGE
POP UP SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM WILL NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION LATER
TODAY.  TEMPERATURE WISE TODAY...MODELS ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT...SO
HAVE NOT DEVIATED MUCH.  STILL HAVE GONE A COUPLE DEGREES COOLER
ACROSS SE OHIO...WHERE MORE CLOUDS SHOULD PERSIST TODAY.

THE FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTHEASTWARD OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
OHIO...OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...GIVING SE OHIO AND NW WEST VIRGINIA A
BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  HAVE INCREASED POPS TO
LIKELY AS A RESULT ACROSS THAT AREA.  IN FACT...OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
WILL BE THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA TO RECEIVE SOME
MUCH NEEDED RAIN.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

ON FRIDAY...STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY ORIENTED FROM THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIAN...SOUTHWEST ACROSS KY WILL REMAIN STATIONARY.  A
SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL MEET AND FUSE WITH STATIONARY BOUNDARY
OVER THE AREA PROVIDING GOOD CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH FRI NIGHT. RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS ON FRI WILL RANGE FROM
AROUND ONE INCH ACROSS THE NORTH...TO NEAR HALF AN INCH ACROSS THE
SOUTH. THE REMAINDER BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN QUASI STATIONARY ACROSS WV
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH CONTINUING WITH CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FRI NIGHT THRU AT LEAST LATE SUN.

NAM/WRF SHOW CAPE MAX VALUES OF +3000 J/KG AND GOOD BL CONVERGENCE
ACROSS THE SOUTH SECTIONS FRI AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
HOWEVER...FOLLOWED HPC QPF FOR PRECIP AMOUNTS THRU THE WEEKEND. MAV
WAS CHOSEN AS LIE IN BETWEEN OF FWC AND MET NUMBERS FOR MAX AND MIN
TEMPS FRI THRU SAT NIGHT.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
KENTUCKY...SOUTHEAST OHIO...SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO OUR NORTH...WE CONTINUE TO BE ON THE WARM
AND UNSTABLE SIDE.  AS A RESULT...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER TODAY AND TONIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN OHIO AND
EXTREME NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF WEST VIRGINIA.  TONIGHT...A COLD
FRONT WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE SOUTHEASTWARD INTO OUR REGION...BRINGING A
HIGHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MUCH OF THE AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

YET ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL STILL BE POSITIONED TO OUR NORTHWEST ON
FRIDAY...ALSO SLOWLY PROGRESSING TOWARDS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS.
THIS ONE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TOO FAR SOUTH...POSSIBLY JUST
TO OUR SOUTH OF WEST VIRGINIA BY SATURDAY...AND REMAIN THERE THROUGH
THE WEEKEND...AND EARLY NEXT WEEK.  THIS WILL KEEP A GOOD CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE AREA INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
