AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
757 PM EDT SUN JUN 14 2009
.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONT WILL BE STATIONARY TO OUR SOUTH THRU EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
A WEAK DISTURBANCE ALONG IT MONDAY MORNING. A STRONGER DISTURBANCE
WILL PUSH THE FRONT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT WEDNESDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
CU DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE SOUTH SEEMS TO BE HINDERED SOMEWHAT THIS
AFTN BY CIRRUS BLOWOFF FROM MCS ACROSS DEEP SOUTH. HOWEVER...NOT SO
JUST TO THE W...ACROSS OH/NORTHERN KY WHERE CONVECTION IS FIRING IN
ASSOC WITH WEAK SFC LOW AND ASSOCIATED INVERTED TROUGH. SHORT
TERM/HI RES MDLS TRACK THIS FEATURE ACROSS EASTERN KY AND SW VA
03-06Z TONIGHT...ALONG WARM FRONT/DWPT GRADIENT. TO THE NE OF
THIS...DRIER AIR HAS MIXED DOWN ACROSS NORTHERN HALF OF CWA...WITH
DWPTS IN THE LOW TO MID 50S AND LIL IN THE WAY OF CLOUDS.
MDLS ARE SHOWING MODEST INSTABILITY IN VICINITY OF SFC LOW/INVERTED
TROUGH...WITH CAPE 1000-1500 J/KG AND 0-6KM BULK SHEAR 40-50KTS.
THIS WILL HELP CONVECTION TO CONT TO DEVELOP AND MOVE EAST
APPROACHING SE OH COUNTIES BY 21Z...HOWEVER...WITH A MORE STABLE
AIRMASS IN PLACE...EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO BE WANING AS IT GET MOVES
THROUGH SE OH. NOT SO ACROSS NE KY/SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS/SW
VA...WHERE MDLS SHOW TRACK MOST OF THE CONVECTION ALONG WITH SFC
FEATURE. EVEN THOUGH INSTABILITY WILL BE WANING TONIGHT...STILL
EXPECTING CONVECTION ACROSS THESE AREAS AS SFC LOW TRACKS SE ACROSS
EASTERN KY/SW VA. WENT DETERMINISTIC WITH POPS ACROSS AFOREMENTIONED
AREAS 03-06Z...WITH CHC JUST TO NORTH. NOT EXPECTING ANY WATER
PROBLEMS AS PW HOVERING AROUND AN INCH AND SPEED OF STORMS.
OTHERWISE...SETUP FOR AFTN CONVECTION ELSEWHERE SIMILAR TO
YESTERDAY. CAP ARND H6 SHOULD LIMIT IGNITION OF ANY CONVECTION TO
SOUTHERN MTNS/SW VA THIS AFTN WHERE THE ANY MEANINGFUL CAPE LIES AND
DIFF HEATING CONTRIBUTIONS...MAINTAINING SCHC POPS LATE THIS
AFTN...WENT COVERAGE ISO/SCT IN WX WORDING.
EVERYTHING QUIETS DOWN BY DAWN TOMM....WITH VALLEY FG MOSTLY
CONFINED TO NE MTNS. COULD SEE SOME FG ACROSS AREAS THAT RECEIVE
RAIN...PROVIDING ENOUGH CLEARING LATE TONIGHT.
TOMM LOOKS SIMILAR TO TDY...WITH AFTN STORMS CONFINED TO MTNS AND
SOUTHERN AREAS...WITH ELONGATED WARM FRONT REMAINING JUST W OF CWA.
LEFT ONGOING CHC POPS ALONE.
FOR TEMPS...MOSGUIDEBC HAS BEEN FAR SUPERIOR TO REST OF GUIDANCE
PAST FEW DAYS...AND SAW NO REASON TO DEVIATE MUCH FOR MINT AND MAXT
TOMM.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DO ALL IT CAN TO HANG ON ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST U.S. AS LOW PRESSURE EXERTS ITS INFLUENCE TO THE WEST.
HUMIDITIES ARE SHOWING A WARM FRONT THAT WILL DRAPE ITSELF NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST...THROUGH INDIANA AND EASTERN KENTUCKY. MEANWHILE...A
RIPPLE IN THE NORTHWESTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL AFFECT THE WESTERN
ZONES TUESDAY EVENING. MAY BE ABLE TO GO DETERMINISTIC IN THE POPS
IN FUTURE RUNS...BUT WILL LET HIGH CHANCE POPS RIDE FOR NOW ACROSS
THE TRI STATE AREA AND DOWN INTO THE COAL FIELDS.
WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY MAKE ITS WAY INTO WEST VIRGINIA TUESDAY NIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY...WITH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW STILL SHOWING SOME SIGNS
OF BEING UNSETTLED...ALTHOUGH NOT NECESSARILY AS MUCH AS WITH THE
AFOREMENTIONED DISTURBANCE. THE WARM FRONT WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT
FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY. X FACTOR HERE
COULD BE THE CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT...AS IT MAY
INHIBIT STORMS A BIT. FOR NOW...WILL LEAVE THE EQUAL CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST.
BROUGHT DOWN THE WEDNESDAY MAX T VALUES A FEW DEGREES FROM GUIDANCE
WITH THE HIGH CLOUD COVER AND RAIN CHANCES.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
PROGRESSIVE SMALL AMPLITUDE WAVES BRING TWO AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE
JUST NORTH OF THE AREA A WITH COLD FRONTS...KEEPING THE CLOUD COVER
UP AND CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION AS WELL. BOTH THE GFS AND EUROPEAN
CUT OFF THE SECOND UPPER LEVEL WAVE AS THE FLOW BECOMES MORE
AMPLIFIED FOR THE WEEKEND. GFS SHOWS A 558DKM LOW OVER SOUTHERN
ONTARIO...WHICH WILL KEEP THE TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.
COOLER AIR UP AT 500HPA WILL KEEP THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION.
CANNOT DETERMINE THUNDER CHANCES JUST YET...BUT FREEZING LEVEL WILL
COME DOWN CONSIDERABLY THIS WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ESE THROUGH
03Z...WITH HTS-CRW-BKW ON NORTHERN EDGE OF THE CONVECTION. DRY FOR NRN
WV. THINKING THE HEAVIER CONVECTIVE CELLS WOULD BE FURTHER S AND
SW...TOWARD WV/KY/VA BORDER AREAS...SO DID NOT HIT HTS-CRW-BKW CORRIDOR
HARD.
LOTS OF DEBRIS CLOUDS AT 5 TO 8 THSD FT POSSIBLE OVRNIGHT...THAT
WILL CAUSE HEADACHES FIGURING OUT THE FOG. OVERALL...HAVE NOT HIT
THE FOG AS HARD AS PREVIOUS NIGHTS/EARLY MORNING.
HAVE CLOUDS AT 2 TO 5 THSD FT BKN OVER SRN WV AND SW VA WHILE
MAINLY SCT OVER SE OHIO AND NRN WV 12Z MONDAY TO 00Z TUESDAY.
