WEATHER SUMMARY FOR THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
415 PM EDT FRI JUL 3 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT CAUSED THE COOL AND UNSETTLED JULY
WEATHER...THE PAST FEW DAYS...WAS WEAKENING AND MOVING FURTHER AWAY.
THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FAIRLY COMFORTABLE AND TRANQUIL JULY NIGHT.

UNFORTUNATELY...THE DRY WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED TO LINGER THROUGH
THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE OVER...OR
JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA BY SUNDAY MORNING. ITS ASSOCIATED MOISTURE
WILL STREAK WELL EAST OF IT...MOVING UP THE OHIO VALLEY ON
INDEPENDENCE DAY. AS A RESULT...THIS WILL BRING SOME SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...STARTING ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AND SPILLING
OVER INTO SUNDAY. THE 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS COULD BE A WET
PROPOSITION.

THIS SYSTEM...AND ITS DEEP MOISTURE...WILL MOVE OFF TO OUR SOUTHEAST
BY SUNDAY NIGHT.

DRIER AIR ARRIVES ON MONDAY...AND MAY LINGER MOST OF THE WORK WEEK.

LOOKING WAY DOWN THE ROAD...AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SHOULD FINALLY
START HEATING UP AGAIN...DURING THE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY TIME
FRAME.

&&

.NEAR TERM IMPACTS /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IMPACTS EXPECTED.

&&

.SHORT TERM IMPACTS /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY START SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE MOST
COVERAGE TO THE RAIN IS EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS COULD
EFFECT AND CANCEL SOME 4TH OF JULY OUTDOOR EVENTS AND FIREWORK
DISPLAYS. ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT MAY NEED PROTECTION.
ORGANIZERS...PLUS COUNTY AND CITY OFFICIALS...SHOULD BE PREPARED
FOR THIS SCENARIO.

SEEK AN SAFER INDOOR LOCATION...IF ANY LIGHTNING IS SEEN OR
THUNDER IS HEARD.

FINALLY MOVE OFF TO THE EAST LATER TONIGHT...PROVIDING FOR A BREAK
IN PRECIPITATION ON FRIDAY. HOWEVER...A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS MAY REMAIN

HAS THE CHANCE OF RAIN HIGHER ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN
WEST VIRGINIA...COMPARED TO COUNTIES FURTHER NORTH...IN EASTERN OHIO
AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA.

THIS WEEKEND...THE CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES STILL
BELOW NORMAL.  SO THE PHRASE...HOT AS A FIRECRACKER...COULD BE A BIG
