.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
00Z Aviation Forecast Discussion.

Updated aviation discussion at 105 PM.

1047 AM... Updated thoughts on the unsettled weather this week
and the extended stretch of hot and humid weather.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) An unsettled week is expected with daily chances of showers and
thunderstorms. Training storms that repeatedly move over the
same areas can cause localized flooding.

2) Hot and muggy conditions will be widespread this week. Given the
extended stretch of hot and humid weather, heat safety will be
important.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Daily chances of showers and thunderstorms are expected over the
next week, but no particular day will be a complete washout. Keep an
eye to the sky each day this week, and anyone who hears thunder
roar should go indoors.

Showers and thunderstorms will be very isolated today, and the best
chances of them occurring will be across portions of the tri-state
area and eastward through central West Virginia. The strongest
forcing will actually be located across the Northeast U.S. and the
Tennessee Valleys, which is why any storms will be isolated across
the middle Ohio Valley and Appalachians today. If a storm does
occur, it could bring a quick burst of heavy rain, given the
very humid airmass (PWATs 1.5 to 1.8 inches).

Several mid-level disturbances will approach from the west
beginning late Monday, creating more thunderstorm chances
throughout the week. That energy will become more organized
later in the week as a cold front approaches from the west.
Therefore, the highest chances of scattered to widespread rain
will be Thursday into Friday.

Localized flooding may be a concern this week, especially in
instances of training storms that repeatedly move over the same
areas.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

Hot and muggy conditions are expected area-wide all week. A
persistent southerly flow will bring warm, humid air into the middle
Ohio Valley and Appalachians from the Gulf. Dew point temperatures
will reach the upper 60s to lower 70s area-wide, making the air feel
uncomfortably humid. Daytime highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s
will be common. Overnight temperatures will remain elevated in the
upper 60s to lower 70s, meaning there will be little relief during
the overnight hours.

Given the extended stretch of hot and humid weather, heat safety
will be important this week. Check on those who are particularly
sensitive to the heat, like the elderly and those without air
conditioning. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, take
breaks when working outdoors, and know the signs of potential heat
exhaustion or heat stroke. More information on the signs and
symptoms of heat illness can be found at weather.gov/safety/heat-
illness

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Surface flow should decouple tonight with patchy fog being the
main theme. Some fog may get into a few of the sites such as
CRW/EKN/CKB, but should not be any less than MVFR restrictions.
Any fog that may impact a site will lift out by 12Z. Temporary
conditions of IFR is possible but left mention out of TAFs due
to the lack of confidence in IFR prevailing for more than a
just a quick burst. VFR will then return to all sites for the
remainder of the period. Winds will be predominately out of the
south and light over the entire period.
