THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ASSOCIATED WITH A
LINE OF FAST MOVING SHOWERS SUNDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS A
COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE...
BUT EVEN IF NO THUNDER IS HEARD...THE DAMAGING WIND RISK REMAINS.
 
EVEN AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES...GUSTY WINDS MAY REMAIN FOR
SEVERAL HOURS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
 
WEATHER SPOTTERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REPORT SIGNIFICANT WEATHER
CONDITIONS ACCORDING TO STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES.
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED.
 
...DISCUSSION...
 
MOST AREAS SHOULD BE DRY TODAY WITH MILD AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES FOR
MID NOVEMBER.  SINCE OUR DEW POINTS HAVE INCREASED...THERE COULD BE
A SPRING LIKE FEEL TO THE AIR THIS AFTERNOON.
 
OUR LOW LEVEL WIND FLOW BEGINS TO INCREASE TONIGHT.
THIS IS SIGNALING TO US...THE APPROACH OF A STRONGER SYSTEM.
 
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT WITH RAIN SHOWERS THAT WILL PRODUCE STRONG...AND POTENTIALLY
DAMAGING...WIND GUSTS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. EVEN A RUMBLE OR
TWO OF THUNDER ARE POSSIBLE.
 
THE AIR QUICKLY DRIES OUT ON MONDAY AS WINDS CONTINUE TO
BLOW...ALTHOUGH A FEW UPSLOPE RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS ARE STILL
POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES OF WEST VIRGINIA AS
THE AIR GRADUALLY TURNS COLDER MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
 
DRY WEATHER SHOULD DOMINATE FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...
WITH A SLOW IMPROVEMENT IN TEMPERATURES.
