Fxus61 krlx 242341 afdrlx area forecast discussion national weather service charleston wv 741 pm edt Sat aug 24 2019 Synopsis High pressure with dry and cooler weather through Sunday. Upper level system Monday night. Cold front Tuesday night. Near term through Sunday As of 730 pm Saturday... aside from a few adjustments to cloud cover for this evening, the forecast remains on track and no other changes were needed. As of 125 pm Saturday... relatively quiet weather expected through the near term period on the southern end of a surface high passing by to the north. Hi-res models try to kick off some showers this afternoon across the mountains... Think the best chance of this would be across the southern mountains where the moisture depth is better. However, this is also the area that has been shrouded in stratus all day, so should be fairly stable. Opted to remove showers from the forecast due to this. Today's cumulus deck should give way to mostly clear skies overnight, with some river valley fog by morning thanks to cool air over warm water. Much like last night, overnight lows will be below normal. High temperatures on Sunday will top out a few degrees warmer than today for most of us, with reading generally just below normal for late august. Short term Sunday night through Tuesday night As of 235 pm Saturday... southwest flow aloft will usher in deeper moisture Sunday night into Monday, ahead of an approaching S W trof. It still appears most of the shower activity will remain west of the area through Monday night. That being said, I did keep small chances across southeast oh. Upper trof deamplifies over the region Tuesday as coastal low tracks off the nc coast. Shower chances increase as the day progresses, with an afternoon storm or two possible. Another S W trof approaches late Tuesday which will drive a surface cold front thru late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. Temperatures will start out near normal, before spiking well into the 80s on Tuesday. Long term Wednesday through Saturday As of 235 pm Saturday... drier air advects into the region behind the front Wednesday and carries thru the end of the week under general northwest flow aloft. Temperatures will ease back to more seasonable levels behind the front. Aviation 00z Sunday through Thursday As of 740 pm Saturday...

MVFR stratus that had plagued bkw through much of the day has finally lifted, allowing for all sites to bestowVFR conditions. This will remain the case through the first half of the overnight period as the area remains under the influence of high pressure. The caveat to tranquil weather and mostly clear skies will be the potential for fog during the predawn hours. One forecast challenge that arose while working on the current TAF package was the notable 20-25 kt LLJ hinted by forecast soundings. If this were to come into fruition, this would inhibit fog production from occurring at most terminals. When taking into account the lowered confidence for the overnight forecast, have chosen to only include ifr at ekn at this time. The high will progress eastward toward new england through the day Sunday, veering surface winds out of a southerly direction by the afternoon. Included a two hour window for gustier winds at bkw Sunday morning as the overnight jet mixes out after sunrise. Forecast confidence and alternate scenarios through 00z Monday... forecast confidence: medium. Alternate scenarios: timing and coverage of fog tonight may vary from forecast. 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.

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.
