AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1227 AM EST MON DEC 5 2005

.AVIATION...

AT 05Z CLOUD TOPS ARE COOLING QUICKLY ACRS SRN WV AND SW VA AS
STRONG SYNOPTIC LIFT MOVES IN. LIGHT SNOW SHOULD START FILLING IN
ON RADAR ACRS SRN WV AND SW VA 06-10Z. MAY BE SOME SLEET
INTITIALLY S OF BKW.  STILL QUESTIONS ON THE DURATION OF THE EVENT
FOR THE EKN-BKW CORRIDOR - THINKING THE SYNOPTIC DRIVEN SNOW MAY
BE EXITING AFTER 20Z WITH SNOW SHWRS TAKING OVER FOR THE NIGHT.

STILL APPEARS CRW WILL BE ON NW FRINGE OF LIGHT SNOW. TRIED TO
LIFT CEILINGS IN HTS-PKB 06-12Z AND IT MAY LIFT INTO A MID DECK
CEILING AFTER 12Z BEFORE LOWERING INTO STRATOCUMULUS AGAIN AFTER
18Z.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 957 PM EST SUN DEC 4 2005)

SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)...

CONVEYOR OF WARM ADVECTION PRECIPITATION CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI NORTHEASTWARD TO NORFOLK AREA.  SHARP WESTERN
EDGE AS SEEN ON REGIONAL RADAR REMAINS EAST OF OUR SOUTHWEST
VIRGINIA COUNTIES AND SHOULD REMAIN THAT WAY FOR SEVERAL MORE
HOURS.  HAVE TRENDED POPS DOWN AND PUSHED BACK A BIT TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS.  TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT SEEM TO BE ON TRACK AND SHOULD SLOWLY
FALL UNDER BROKEN TO OVERCAST SKIES.

REGARDING STORM SYSTEM FOR MONDAY...LATEST 00Z NAM RUN NOT TOO MUCH
DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS RUNS...EXCEPT FOR BEING A TOUCH FURTHER EAST
WITH HEAVIER QPF AMOUNTS AND ARRIVING A LITTLE LATER.  AM BECOMING A
BIT CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE MAIN AXIS IS FURTHER SOUTH
THAN EXPECTED BUT LOOKING AT HIGH AND MID CLOUDS ON IR SAT
IMAGES...THE FLOW IS BEGINNING TO BACK AROUND WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
PRECIP TO SHIFT NORTHWESTWARD.  DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO
MODIFY HEAVY SNOW WARNING...ESPECIALLY WITHOUT 00Z GFS IN YET...AND
AT THE CURRENT TIME WILL PLAN TO LEAVE WATCH IN PLACE AND ALLOW MID
SHIFT TO UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE AS NECESSARY WHEN THEY HAVE A BETTER
LOOK AT HOW SITUATION IS UNFOLDING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 640 PM EST SUN DEC 4 2005)

AVIATION...

AREA REMAINS UNDER BLANKET OF LOW CLOUDS WITH WIDESPREAD LOW MVFR TO
IFR CEILINGS...AND LIFR AT BKW.  EXPECT SOME IMPROVEMENT FROM THE
NORTHWEST AS DRIER AIR FILTERS IN..BUT SHOULD HAVE TROUBLE IN THE
EAST AS STORM SYSTEM LIFTING INTO APPALACHIANS OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY
WILL KEEP LOW CLOUDS IN PLACE.  BKW AND EKN STAND BEST CHANCE AT
SNOWFALL AND THINK IT WILL BEGIN AT BKW AROUND 12Z AND CONDITIONS
WILL DETERIORATE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.  SHOULD SEE MVFR/VFR CONDITIONS
WEST AND MVFR TO IFR EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 303 PM EST SUN DEC 4 2005)

LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...

LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY ON WEDNESDAY AS MODELS HAVE DIFFERENT TIMING
WITH WAVES. KEPT NON SPECIFIC WITH POPS. COLD AIR REMAINS OVER THE
REGION FOR THE MIDDLE TO END OF THE WORK WEEK...WITH SOME SNOW
SHOWERS POSSIBLE...MORE SO IN THE MOUNTAINS. SOME MODERATION IN
TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE TOWARD THE WEEKEND AS THE NEXT SYSTEM
APPROACHES.
