These storms are expected to continue through this afternoon and move over particularly flash flood-prone terrain. DISCUSSION...Current radar observations depict widely scattered thunderstorms pushing eastward across the eastern Ohio Valley and central Appalachians. Some storms over western NC and VA were initially tied to the terrain, but have begun to slowly progress east-northeast. Otherwise, thunderstorm activity spanning from eastern TN to WV is ahead of an advancing cold front and upper level trough clearly evident in GOES-East WV-ML imagery. This region also continues to fall within a favorable right entrance region of an upper jet racing northeastward from northern OH. PWATs remain high and above 2" for parts of eastern KY per SPC's mesoanalysis, with mean layer winds out of the west-southwest. This supports the ongoing and expected heavy rainfall rates as storms progress eastward. SBCAPE also continues to increase and is estimated above 3000 J/kg across southwest WV as of 18z. However, given the current coverage of thunderstorms in an east-west orientation, repeating rounds of storms are possible and likely to lead to scattered instances of flash flooding. 3-hr FFG in this region spans from 3" to as low as 1.5" along the Appalachian crest. The 12z HREF highlights a large region as having 40-60% chances for exceeding 2" per 3-hrs by 00z tonight across southern WV, eastern KY, and along the central Appalachians of southwest VA and northwest NC. The available environment combined with ongoing radar represations and CAM output leads to the expectation for additional scattered flash flooding, with the most likely impacts for the typically flood-prone terrain.
