EARLY MORNING WEATHER SUMMARY FOR THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND 
MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY 
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
400 AM EDT MON AUG 22 2005

A COOLER DAWN WAS GREETING THE START OF A NEW WORK WEEK.  AFTER A 
VERY STEAMY SATURDAY...THE MUGGY SUMMER AIR WAS NUDGED TO OUR SOUTH 
ON SUNDAY.  THE DRIER AIR ALLOWED TEMPERATURES NEAR SUNRISE...TO 
DROP INTO THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S FOR MANY COMMUNITIES.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST AND WESTERN GREAT 
LAKES TODAY...ON EAST...REACHING THE NEW ENGLAND VICINITY BY 
THURSDAY.

HOWEVER...ITS NOT QUITE THAT SIMPLE OF A FORECAST. A WEAK UPPER AIR 
DISTURBANCE WAS IN THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING...TO OUR WEST.
IT WILL LIKELY CAUSE MORE CLOUDS ACROSS EASTERN KENTUCKY AND 
SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA TODAY INTO TONIGHT...COMPARED TO FURTHER 
NORTH...IN EASTERN OHIO AND NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA.  IT WOULD NOT
BE A TOTAL SURPRISE IF A FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS...SURVIVED INTO THE 
DRIER AIR...AND REACHED INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY...SOUTHWEST 
VIRGINIA...OR SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA DURING THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS 
EVENING. THE CURRENT CHANCE OF RAIN IS LESS THAN 20 PERCENT.

A WEAK WIND FLOW...FROM THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST...WILL LIKELY DEVELOP 
ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.  THIS SHOULD GENERATE MORE CLOUDS FOR 
THE MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES...WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT...FURTHER 
WEST...SAY IN THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY COUNTIES.  AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES
SHOULD START INCREASING AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

MOISTURE MAY ALSO INCREASE IN THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY BY THE END OF 
THE WEEK...SAY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM TRIES TO 
MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.  SO THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS MAY INCREASE 
THEN.
