AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

1141 AM EDT Mon Sep 15 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
Staying dry and warm initially. A bit cloudier Tues and Wed,
with low-end rain chances in the east. Dry again to end the
work week, with better rain chances by Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 1139 AM Monday...
A ridge of high pressure maintains its position over the upper Great
Lakes for the near-term, while an area of low pressure slowly moves
across the southeast Atlantic coastline. High pressure will be the
main driver of our weather pattern today across the lowlands with
high temperatures in the upper 80s to near 90. Meanwhile, much
cooler conditions are expected over the higher elevations of eastern
West Virginia with highs only in the 60s and 70s.
The coastal low will bring more of an influence Tuesday with more
cloud coverage, cooler temperatures, and a slight chance of showers
over the higher elevations. High temperatures will be seasonable for
mid-September, ranging from the 70s in the mountains to the upper
70s and lower 80s in the lowlands.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 1139 AM Monday...
The aforementioned coastal low will be located over the mid-
Atlantic for the middle of the week, bringing us more clouds,
cooler temperatures, and a slight chance of mountain showers.
This area of low pressure will pull away to the northeast
Thursday and a ridge will strengthen over the middle Ohio
Valley, which will lead to another warming trend and dry weather
areawide. High temperatures will be back in the upper 80s again
Thursday afternoon across the lowlands.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1139 AM Monday...
High pressure will remain in control Friday and Saturday with hot
and dry weather continuing. Models are suggesting that a cold front
may approach from the west Sunday, but there is still a bit of
uncertainty regarding the location and speed of this front, and if
it will actually make it into the central Appalachians before
falling apart. For now, the ensemble mean forecast is going with
seasonable temperatures and a slight chance of rain areawide,
which seems reasonable, given the pattern uncertainty.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 645 AM Monday...
Fickle valley fog has been causing varying conditions at EKN,
while CRW and HTS have both been showing hints with visibility
just under 10SM. CRW could still see a `sunrise surprise` of
fog at the terminal as it lifts out of the Elk River Valley, but
any fog around the area should burn off by 13z. Otherwise, VFR
conditions and gentle E-NE`ly breezes are expected today.
Breezes shift E-SE`ly tonight. Could be a bit of fog again
tonight, but just did VCFG for EKN and CRW for now, given
expected cloud cover. Any showers that encroach on the CWA
towards the end of the TAF period should keep clear of the
terminals until after 12z Tues.
