Subject: [W8MWA] Advisory: Severe Weather Briefing from NWS for July 4
Message-ID: <10763DB7-6282-4EE3-9275-72DBFDE228F2@gmail.com>

The following are my notes from this morning?s briefing with Fred McMullen of the NWS Pittsburgh. (The underlining is mine.)

Due to the fact that a number of us have events today and there is potential for severe weather, I am sharing this with all three lists (NC WV Skywarn, W8MWA and K8MCR.) Given the potential severe weather threat today. It will be well worth your time to read the notes.

If severe weather does occur later today, we will activate the North Central West Virginia Skywarn Net. So please be weather aware today and, if possible, take an HT with you to any outdoor events.

Jeff, WB1AAL

================================

Given the threat for severe storms this afternoon and given all the events and activities that are going on, especially with fireworks later this evening across many communities, we'll start off with the heat risk. 

This will be the fourth consecutive day for most of the region to be in the 90s. Today the maximum heat index across will be around 100F to 105F across much of North Central West Virginia outside of the West Virginia mountains. 

Tomorrow and then Monday, the heat indexes fall back into the mid 90s. The temperatures are still going to be warm in the mid to upper 80s, but, the heat indexes won't be in the triple digit values.

As for Severe Weather, we're looking for showers to develop across parts of western Ohio. As they develop, they'll be moving east into North Central West Virginia. So, that is going to have an impact on outdoor picnics and events that are going on across our communities. 

I want to call your attention to the time between 5:00 p.m. and about 10 p.m. This is the time that is greatest risk for severe weather. Wind will be the primary threat, so downed trees and power lines will be an issue with these storms today. There will also be frequent lightning and heavy rain. Those are the categories and the impacts that we're looking for to develop later on today.

Of course, this is right during that time when a lot of the evening events go off with fireworks at dusk between 9 and 10 p.m. By 10 p.m. as we lose the sun the activity will decrease as we go through the late evening hours. 

In summary, if you have outdoor plans today, especially between 3 p.m. and 900 p.m., that's when you need to stay weather aware. And then if you get down trees or power lines from a storm, again, please report them to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh. 

This concludes the briefing. Hope everyone has a great Fourth of July.

Today, Monday, July 13, MWA conducts its open Two-meter simplex SSB net
144.210 MHz. at 8:30 PM ET.  Following that net, at 9:00 PM ET, is our
regular ARES net on the 144.430-, PL 103.5 Hz. club repeater, W8MWA.  All
hams are invited to participate ;in both nets.

On Tuesday, the cognoscenti of North Central WV hams will gather at their
usual gathering spot at Los Mariachis Restaurant at University Town Centre
in Granville, WV, right next to Westover, WV, right next to Morgantown,
WV.  Go ahead, look it up on a map.  All hams in the vicinity are welcome
at noon ET.  Alcoholic beverages are available but not necessarily
recommended.  We are able to come up with a solution to nearly every
problem, but not always the correct solution.  We gather in the rear of the
venue, so as not to bother too many of the normal customers.  Out of state
visitors are welcome, since the club president does not live in WV.

We look forward to meeting you on the air and in person.

73,
Jan, KX2A, president with a club

Subject: [W8MWA] Stepping Down from Skywarn
Message-ID: <CAAoba33qphinfzkZ4yTF6PP90Su8HjNBmkUaD8ZOQo9j7sHz=g@mail.gmail.com>

On August 1, 2026 I will be stepping down as Net Control and coordinator of
the North Central West Virginia Skywarn Net.


Skywarn has been an enjoyable, rewarding and totally pleasurable
experience. However, it has become necessary for me to reevaluate my time
and my priorities.


So what will be next for the North Central West Virginia Skywarn Net?  Its
value to the NWS Pittsburgh and to West Virginia Emergency Management has
been obvious.


I have spoken with Fred McMullen Skywarn Coordinator for the NWS
Pittsburgh; Tom Mullins, W8ZHN and Jason Hatfield, KD8FDD, who manages the
Appalachia Skywarn Net. We have decided the best way to grow Skywarn in
West Virginia is to merge the Appalachia Skywarn Net and the North Central
West Virginia Skywarn Net. This will occur on August 1, 2026.


I have throughly enjoyed working with the local hams who have supported the
North Central West Virginia Skywarn Net. Your participation in the Net and
reports to the NWS Pittsburgh are sincerely and deeply appreciated!


73 and thanks,


Jeff, WB1AAL

*With all the wildfire smoke over the area, there stands to be a more
dangerous outcome and that would be super fog. *

*In some river valleys, there may be enough moisture coupled with the smoke
to cause super fog and reduce visibility to zero. *

*Use caution if out traveling this morning.*

*The attached photo shows I-79 at Mount Morris with visibility down to less
than a quarter mile.*

>From Jeff:

Super Fog observed in Suncrest, Morgantown. WV at 0720 EDT. Visibility is
less than 0.1 mile. (See the third photo. Location is 1 mile east of the
Mon River in Suncrest.)
