AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
253 PM EST TUE NOV 22 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
FLOOD THREAT ON STREAMS THROUGH TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE LIFTS UP
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY THIS EVENING. COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRY WEATHER FOR THANKSGIVING.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
THE EAST TO WEST FRONT FROM YESTERDAY...FINALLY ON THE MOVE NORTH.
AT 18Z TUESDAY...THE FRONT WAS NEAR A UNI-PKB-CKB LINE. ITS HEAVIER
RAIN SHOULD LIFT NORTH BY 20Z.
BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS VEER AND INCREASE AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD
FRONT UNDER THE SURFACE LOW LIFTING NORTHEAST THROUGH INDIANA TOWARD
NORTHERN OHIO.
THE TREND TOWARD THE FASTER PRE COLD FRONTAL SHOWERS STILL SEEMS TO
BE ON TRACK. SHOWERS SHOULD INCREASE 20Z TO 04Z FROM SW TO NE.
STILL MAY BE SOME EMBEDDED THUNDER...BUT NOT MUCH RECOVER TIME FOR
LATE NOVEMBER.
LESS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE COLD FRONT...COMPARED TO THE
PREVIOUS STATIONARY AND NOW WARM FRONT...SO FIGURING ON LESS RAIN
AMOUNTS. HOWEVER...WITH THE SATURATED GROUND AND ELEVATED
STREAMS...CERTAINLY NO REASON TO DROP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH.
MAY BE A BRIEF DRY SLOT IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS SOUTHERN COUNTIES. BUT WRAP AROUND MOISTURE IN THE COOL
POOL SHOULD INCREASE BEFORE 12Z WEDNESDAY. THESE LIGHTER SHOWERS
SHOULD BE MIXING WITH SNOW AOA 3500 FEET BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT
WE STILL ARE NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE SNOW.
CLEARING RAPIDLY DEVELOPS OVER THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY COUNTIES BY 18Z
AND MOVES INTO OUR MOUNTAIN COUNTIES BY SUNSET WEDNESDAY.
HAVE NOT FINE TUNED TEMPERATURES YET...BUT DO NOT PICTURE ANY EARTH
SHAKING CHANGES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AFOREMENTIONED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL
HAVE PASSED EAST OF OUR AREA BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...TAKING MOST OF
THE PRECIPITATION WITH IT. WHAT WILL BE LEFT FOR WEDNESDAY IS A
RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND MAINLY UPSLOPE
RAIN SHOWERS...BEFORE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BY THE END OF
THE DAY. OF SPECIAL NOTE IS THE RATHER GUSTY WINDS WEDNESDAY WITH
THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AROUND THE DEPARTING LOW...ESPECIALLY IN
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS WHERE WINDS WILL GUST OVER 30 MPH. ON THE
OTHER HAND...LACK OF REALLY COLD AIR BEHIND THIS SYSTEM WILL KEEP
THE POST FRONTAL SHOWERS WEDNESDAY MOSTLY LIQUID...EXCEPT IN THE
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WHERE RAIN SHOWERS MAY
END AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW SHOWERS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING WITH LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATION. HIGH PRESSURE THAN DOMINATES
WITH QUITE DRY WEATHER THURSDAY.
AS MENTIONED BEFORE WITH THE LACK OF REALLY COLD AIR BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM...TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL ACTUALLY RECOVER A FEW DEGREES
IN THE WEST AS SUNSHINE INCREASES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...WHILE IN THE
MOUNTAINS TEMPERATURES WILL BE STEADY TO SLOWLY FALLING DURING THE
DAY WITH MODEST COLD ADVECTION AND CLOUDS/SCATTERED SHOWERS.
MODERATING TREND ON THURSDAY AS THE HIGH SHIFTS EAST AND SUNSHINE
RULES...WITH TEMPERATURES GETTING ABOVE NORMAL AGAIN.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE TO START THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH DRY WEATHER AND
ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION ON SUNDAY...SPREADING PRECIPITATION INTO
THE AREA ONCE AGAIN. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IN THE LONG TERM REMAINS
LOW...AND THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE PREFERRED OVER THE ECMWF DUE TO
ITS RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY. REGARDLESS...DEEP TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE REGION ON
SUNDAY...BEFORE A CUT OFF LOW FORMS OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL U.S...AND
SWIRLS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH THE LOW TO
THE SOUTH EARLY ON...MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE CWA SHOULD
BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN...BUT BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS CENTER OF
LOW CONTINUES TO TREK TO THE NORTH...AND ADDITIONAL ENERGY DIGGING
SOUTH ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW BRINGS A REINFORCING SHOT OF
COLDER AIR INTO THE AREA...MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL TURN TO
SNOW OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR A PERIOD TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. TOO
EARLY TO PREDICT ANY ACCUMULATIONS...AND WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES IN
THE DAYS AHEAD OF ANY SNOWFALL...EXPECTING AT THIS POINT LITTLE TO
NO ACCUMULATIONS IN THE LOWLANDS. LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS MAY BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

HALF TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE
