Fxus61 krlx 172325 afdrlx area forecast discussion national weather service charleston wv 725 pm edt Sat aug 17 2019 Synopsis Disturbances passing north this weekend. Very warm to hot the first half of next week. Cold front by late in the week. Near term through Sunday As of 725 pm Saturday... convection mainly remained north of the area, and diminished quickly this evening. Made some minor edits to the temps, winds, and sky cover this evening. River valley fog has decreased in coverage steadily over the last few days with drying, and have that trend continuing. As of 130 pm Saturday... a surface high pressure system currently centered near jackson, ky will slowly drift east through the period, with weak southwesterly flow developing tonight into Sunday. This will bring added low level moisture for Sunday. Today will be mostly dry with the high pressure system in control. A convective complex currently over central in should brush by to the nw, with an isolated t-storm possibly scraping across the far nw forecast area. High res models are in decent agreement keeping this activity just outside of the cwa, but its close enough that low end pops seems warranted. A weak upper level shortwave trough passes by to the north overnight, but again the surface high should keep keep activity to the north of the forecast area. Areas of river valley fog are expected with flow remaining weak. With a bit better moisture on Sunday, have isolated to scattered showers and storms across mainly the mountains. The GFS has more widespread QPF chances, but think it is too aggressive with mid level moisture. Temperatures remain above normal through the forecast period. Heat indices are expected to be in the upper 90s across the southwestern forecast area Sunday afternoon. Short term Sunday night through Tuesday night As of 215 pm Saturday... heat wave is prog to continue for at least the first half of the upcoming work week. H85 temps are prog to warm to approx 22 c for most of the CWA on Monday and Tuesday, with afternoon sfc temps likely to warm into the mid 90s across the lower elevations (few areas could flirt with 100 degrees). Combination of the high sfc temps along with higher dewpoints could result in some areas reaching heat advisory thresholds (however dry soil conditions could result in greater than progged diurnal mixing... And thus lower heat indices). Convective chances early next work week are not all that great as lack of significant moisture depth and very warm mid level temps should preclude much in the way of convective initiation. Although at least isolated diurnally driven convection is likely each day given the very warm temperatures.

Long term Wednesday through Saturday As of 215 pm Saturday... Wednesday will likely be another warm and humid day, although a slow lowering of height fields aloft should allow for slightly greater convective chances across the region. A cold front is then prog to push across the CWA sometime Thursday-ish with additional shower and thunderstorm chances. This front should help lower temps back to near normal levels by late in the week. Aviation 23z Saturday through Thursday As of 725 pm Saturday... continuing the trend of decreasing coverage and duration of fog in the river valleys as the area continues to dry out. The only lifr in the forecast is at ekn. Otherwise, there only brief periods of ifr fog expected tonight in clear skies and calm winds. Vfr cumulus field develops again Sunday. Forecast confidence and alternate scenarios through 00z Monday... forecast confidence: medium to high. Alternate scenarios: timing and density of fog may vary tonight. Experimental table of flight category objectively shows consistency of WFO forecast to available model information: h = high: TAF consistent with all models or all but one model. M = medium: TAF has varying level of consistency with models. L = low: TAF inconsistent with all models or all but one model.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
