.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CURRENTLY MOD TO HVY RAINS ARE BEGINNING
TO MOVE ACROSS THE NWRN PORTION OF WV TO THE E AND IT APPEARS THAT WITH
ADDITIONAL CELLS TO THE SW THAT WILL BE MOVING NEWD ACROSS THE SAME AREA
TRAINING OF CELLS IS LIKELY OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS. WV IMAGERY SHOWS
EMBEDDED S/WV MOVING INTO SW PA/WV FROM THE OH VALLEY. WARM FRNT HAS
LIFTED NWD WITH THE NEWD MOTION OF THIS S/WV WITH TEMPS NOW IN THE LOW
60S AS FAR N AS KEKN. WARM ADV IS ALLOWING FOR MOIST AIR WITH PW VALUES
OF 1-1.2" PER GOES SOUNDER TO BE PULLED NEWD AHEAD OF THE SFC LOW INTO
THE MTNS OF WV. THIS INCREASING INSTABILITY AHEAD OF FRNT SHOULD HELP
CNVTN TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 1-2 HRS WITH THE HELP OF UPSLOPE FROM
THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN N CENTRAL WV. LIGHTNING DATA STILL SHOWS STRIKES
OCCURRING THOUGH THE CLUSTER APPROACHING NRN WV HAS WARMED SLIGHTLY
OVER THE PAST 30 MIN. CELLS IN E KY ARE STILL LINED UP TO CROSS OVER
THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS OF WV THAT WILL BE HIT BY THE MORE NRN PART OF THE
LINE CURRENTLY STARTING TO CROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. ESTIMATE
THAT RATES OF .25-.5"/HR WILL AFFECT THE MTNS OF CENTRAL WV WITH TOTAL
AMOUNTS OF .75-1.25" OVER THE NEXT 2 HRS WHICH WILL APPROACH THE LOW
FFG OF THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
