Forecast Discussion

The National Weather Service in Charleston, WV has issued a Flash Flood Watch in effect until 5:00 PM Wednesday, September 26.  The warm front that has contributed to the rain the past 24 hours has lifted north of the region. Rain chances today should primarily be during the afternoon, as a weak shortwave passes through the region. The potential for severe thunderstorms does not look impressive due to warmer air aloft limiting instability, lack of a forcing mechanism, and widespread cloud coverage. Precipitable water values are rather high, so any shower or thunderstorm can produce heavy rainfall. The potential for stronger thunderstorms exists tonight into Wednesday ahead of an incoming cold front. Due to the saturated ground, it will not take a significant wind gust to cause trees to topple over. Lingering moisture could allow for a couple showers to linger throughout the day on Thursday. Dry and sunny conditions will dominate Friday through the weekend as high pressure builds into the region.
