AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1017 AM EDT SUN JUN 22 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
UNSETTLED AND CHANGEABLE ENVIRONMENT TODAY AND MONDAY...AS
SUNSHINE MIXES WITH CONVECTION. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AT 14Z...HARD TO FIGURE AREAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION TDY AND THIS
EVENING. THINKING ONE FAVORED AREA AROUND MIDDAY IS E OF THE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE BOUNDARY AT 925 TO 850 MB - THAT BEING FROM SW VA
AND SRN WV COAL FIELDS ON E INCLUDING BKW. THAT CONVECTION MAY MOVE
INTO VA AS AFTERNOON CONTINUES. ANOTHER AREA OF CONCERN IS FURTHER
W...ACROSS SE OH NE KY AND WRN WV. YET...THE 12Z ILN SOUNDING HAS
PRECIPITABLE WATER DOWN TO 0.8 INCHES FROM 1.2 INCHES AT 00Z.

FREEZING LEVEL IS STILL ARND 11 THSD WITH WET BULD ZERO ARND 9.5
THSD. CELL MOVEMENT WILL BE FASTER THAN YESTERDAY.

HARD TO FIND THE REMAINS OF YESTERDAYS FRONT...BUT EAST OF THAT
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BOUNDARY IN SE KY...BUILDUPS ARE ON VISUAL
SATELLITE IMAGERY ALONG THE KY/VA BORDER NR 14Z.

LOWERED MAX TEMPERATURE A DEGREE OR SO IN SOME OF THE
LOWLANDS...FIGURING MORE CLOUDS AND SOME 850 MB COOLING ON THE 12Z
ILN SOUNDING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
NOT TOO MANY CHANGES MADE TO THE CURRENT SHORT TERM FORECAST. MODELS
HAVE BEEN TELLING THE SAME STORY OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS BRINGING THE
MAIN LOBE OF THE 500HPA TROUGH THROUGH MONDAY AND FINALLY EXITING
MONDAY NIGHT. NORTHWEST FLOW AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL REPLACE
THE STUBBORN TROUGH AND THE SERIES OF WEAK SURFACE
TROUGHS...FRONTS...AND OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT HAVE PASSED
THROUGH THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE ATMOSPHERE LOSES JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE
AND LIFTING MECHANISMS TO OFFER A BRIEF REPRIEVE FROM THE SEEMINGLY
ENDLESS CHANCE POPS FOR TUESDAY. IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH FOR THE
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM REGIME TO KICK BACK IN AS MOISTURE SLOWLY
DEEPENS...AND IF CURRENTLY UNRESOLVED RIPPLES IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW
MATERIALIZE FOR WEDNESDAY. THIS IS NOT UNREASONABLE THINKING GIVEN
THE TIME OF YEAR.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MOSTLY ZONAL FLOW FOR THIS PERIOD.  DETAILS REGARDING INDIVIDUAL
WAVES GET HARDER TO RESOLVE WITH TIME.  WENT ALONG WITH HPC
GRIDS...WHICH ARE BASED ON ECMWF AND ENSEMBLE FORECASTS.

THINK BEST RAIN CHANCES ON WEDNESDAY LIE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
COUNTIES...AS MODELS SEEM TO BE FAVORING A SOUTHERN TRACK FOR VORT
MAX/SHORTWAVE.  WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY TRIES TO SET UP TO OUR
SOUTHWEST ON THURSDAY AND MEANDER NORTHWARD THROUGH FRIDAY.
DEWPOINTS WILL BE INCREASING BACK TOWARDS THE MID 60S AS WELL.
CHANCE POPS NECESSARY THROUGH THIS PERIOD.  FIRMLY IN THE WARM
SECTOR BY SATURDAY...WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY POSSIBLY APPROACHING
LATE.  CONTINUED THE CHANCE POPS.

TAILED BACK HPC TEMPERATURES HERE AND THERE TOWARDS ENSEMBLE
NUMBERS...BUT NO MAJOR CHANGES OTHERWISE.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THERE WILL BE SOME CLEAR AREAS THIS MORNING BEFORE CONVECTION MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. DENSE VALLEY FOG WILL LIFT BY 13Z.
HOWEVER...IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ALONG THUNDERSTORMS.

A LINE OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM IS EVIDENT IN RADAR AND
SATELLITE IMAGES DEVELOPING OVER OH AND EASTERN KY. THIS ACTIVITY
WILL REACH PARTS OF WV THIS MORNING...WHILE ADDITIONAL CONVECTION
WILL DEVELOP TODAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPCOMING COLD FRONT.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
HAVE CODED THUNDER SHOWERS ALONG THE FRONT AT PKB AND HTS FROM 17Z
TO 21Z...SPREADING EAST TO AFFECT BKW FROM 21Z TO 03Z. THE FRONT
SHOULD BE ALONG THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AROUND 00-03Z.

WITH CALM FLOW...PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND TEMPERATURES
TRYING TO COOL BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT...THERE COULD BE AREAS OF
FOG WHERE CLOUDS CLEAR LATER TONIGHT AND DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS.

AVIATION OUTLOOK /AFTER 12Z MON/...IFR FOR POSSIBLE ALONG RIVER
VALLEYS AND AREAS THAT RECEIVE RAINFALL EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.RLX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WV...NONE.
OH...NONE.
KY...NONE.
VA...NONE.
