AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Charleston WV 315 AM EDT Wed Apr 23 2025
SYNOPSIS
High pressure promotes dry weather today with rebounding daytime temperatures. A disturbance arrives late in the work week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
As of 130 AM Wednesday...
Dry weather prevails today under the guise of surface high pressure and departing ridging aloft. Clearing skies will establish slightly warmer temperatures this afternoon in comparison to Tuesday, with highs across the lowlands rebounding into the low 80s and the 60s/low 70s along the spine of the Appalachians.
A stalled frontal boundary to our south may loft isolated showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder into the coalfields during peak heating hours, but latest hi-res guidance suggests this will be a low end chance below 20 percent. Otherwise, another quiet night will be on tap tonight as the surface high slides east into the Delmarva region.
SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/
As of 310 AM Wednesday...
Key Points: * Precipitation chances creep into the area late Thursday.
* Showers and storms become more widespread on Friday.
On Thursday, moisture increases and temperatures rise above normal while a warm front edges north towards the area. Scattered showers should begin to develop, along with thunderstorms, particularly as the environment becomes less stable during the afternoon and evening hours. Some precipitation may then persist as the warm front wanders north Thursday night into Friday morning.
Southerly flow continues to transport moisture into the area behind the warm front, while a system ushers a cold front towards the area from the west. Widespread rain and thunderstorms are likely to envelop the area ahead of the cold front Friday into Friday night.
One to one and a half inch precipitable water values may support moderate to heavy showers at times, thus, a marginal risk of excessive rainfall is present for much of the area on Friday.
However, the probability of severe weather remains low.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
As of 310 AM Wednesday...
Key Points: * Drier after a cold front crosses Saturday.
* Another disturbance arrives for the new work week.
A cold front crosses the area Saturday morning, then moisture gradually erodes from northwest to southeast following the departure of the front. High pressure builds in from the north late Saturday and then remains in control through Sunday, resulting in a drier finish to the weekend.
An approaching disturbance brings moisture and precipitation chances back to the area during the first half of the new work week, although some models suggest drier conditions could continue into Monday.
AVIATION /07Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
As of 130 AM Wednesday...
The forecast area relishes under high pressure today, yielding mostly VFR conditions. Potential early morning clearing and decoupling across the northeast WV mountains may yield a brief period of fog before daybreak. Otherwise, only high level cirrus to contend with for the second half of the TAF period.
Calm winds overnight will become light out of the northeast Wednesday morning. A frontal boundary draped to the south will be in close enough vicinity to BKW to impose surface flow out of the south.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: High.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: IFR vsbys due to fog may reach EKN before daybreak.
