Shower and storm chances were boosted by an upper level disturbance on the afternoon of June 12th across southeast Ohio. As temperatures rose throughout the day and low level moisture increased, strong to severe thunderstorms transpired, leading to trees being blown down along numerous state roads in Vinton County as well as one tree downed in Meigs County.

Shower and storm chances were boosted by an upper level disturbance on the afternoon of June 12th across southeast Ohio. As temperatures rose throughout the day and low level moisture increased, strong to severe thunderstorms transpired, leading to trees being blown down along numerous state roads in Vinton County as well as one tree downed in Meigs County.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 12, 1:21 PM EST, 1 hour 19 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Charleston WV 221 PM EDT Sun Jun 12 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Showers and potentially strong storms possible this afternoon/ evening. A heat wave is expected for the work week along with diurnal thunderstorms. Warm front Thursday. Cold front Friday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 138 PM Sunday... Surface analysis depicts a weak boundary lying almost west to east across our CWA this afternoon. Diurnal heating and modest low level moisture are enhancing few rain showers along this boundary. High resolution models do not represent the current weather conditions. However, model consensus points at increasing convection across the northern third of the area this evening, in response of an approaching cold front from the north. Models trends indicate that this convection should decay into light showers before reaching the OH River. However, some of the strongest storms could move into WV through this evening. Coded likely PoPs across the north through the overnight hours. The actual front sinks south through the overnight hours. So, kept at least low PoPs overnight into Monday morning. Above normal temperatures are expected with lows tonight, generally in the 60s, while highs on Monday will be around 91 degrees lowlands, ranging into the mid 70s highest elevations. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... As of 210 PM Sunday... Upper level ridging will flatten as a surface low, which will eject out of an area of low pressure across the West, will traverse east just north of the area by Tuesday. This will provide plenty of vorticity and lift in an already moisten laden environment with PWATs increasing to 2 standard deviations above normal through Tuesday. Chances of thunderstorms will reside fairly area-wide the rest of Monday night and into Tuesday with increasing chances by Tuesday morning. Strong to severe storms will be possible although the greatest opportunity for severe storm development will be across the northeast mountainous area and along the eastern mountains where the energy will be more focused while the surface low travels closely by. We will also have a fairly quasi-stationary front settled to our north which will continue unsettled weather even as the surface low pulls further away toward the southeast by Tuesday night. Temperatures will also fuel thunderstorm and instability potential as mid 90's are forecast across most of the lowlands (where heat advisory criteria will likely be reached at various locations) and mid 80's to low 90s across the higher elevations. For Wednesday, surface high pressure and upper ridging builds back in. This combined with the location of a low pressure system over the Great Lakes will move that aforementioned frontal boundary and lift it as a warm front due to a change in directional flow. This will consequently promote diurnal thunderstorms as anomalous moisture holds steady through the day. This will also be another day for heat advisory criteria being met virtually everywhere across the lowlands, including some areas in the higher elevations, as temperatures increase to the mid to upper 90's (with some locations forecast to reach 100 degrees). && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 210 PM Sunday... By Thursday, the aforementioned warm front lifts out leaving behind chances for showers and storms while more precipitation will likely occur ahead of a cold front courtesy of its parent low over the Great Lakes. The good news is that the anomalous moisture will move out as well around the evening, however this new feature will move north and drag the cold front through our area for Friday. For most of Friday morning and afternoon, chances of shower and thunderstorm activity will exist although will taper off by the early evening as the cold front kicks out ot the east. Thereafter, high pressure will build over the region at both the surface and upper levels and will thankfully shield our area for the rest of Friday and through the weekend with temperatures finally dropping to slightly below average. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 138 PM Sunday... Convection will develop this afternoon and evening as a weak surface boundary remains over the area. Shower or storms will produce IFR/LIFR visibilities under moderate to heavy rain. Strong gusty winds will be possible near thunderstorms. A cold front crosses from north to south overnight, keeping chances for showers into Monday morning. Very uncertain whether a storm will hit directly any terminal. So, coded VCTS at most sites with SHRA at PKB and CKB during the overnight hours. VFR/MVFR ceilings will prevail Monday morning before dissipating into widespread VFR by late morning. South southwest winds will become light and variable tonight. The BL should remain agitated by H850 winds around 20 knots and different outflow boundaries produced by storms. These wind conditions will suppress dense fog formation, resulting in widespread low stratus during the predawn hours. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY...
