AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
645 PM EST SAT DEC 3 2005

.AVIATION...

COMPLEX WEATHER SITUATION OVERNIGHT AS WARM AIR SURGES NORTHWARD
OVER COOL SURFACE AIRMASS.  GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS TO START THE
PERIOD BUT CEILINGS WILL QUICKLY FALL INTO MVFR RANGE AND EVENTUALLY
BOTH CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL FALL IFR AFTER 06Z-08Z FROM
SOUTH TO NORTH...AS WARM AIR OVERRIDES COOLER AIR BELOW...IN
ADDITION TO WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION.  MAINLY EXPECTING RAIN
THROUGHOUT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SITES WITH POSSIBLY SOME MIXED
PRECIPITATION AT ONSET FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.  THE NORTHERN SITES
CAN EXPECT A MORE PROLONGED PERIOD OF MIXED PRECIPITATION PROBABLY
STARTING AS SNOW...THEN CHANGING TO FZRAPL AND EVENTUALLY RAIN.

ALL SITES LIKELY TO BE IFR AFTER 09Z THROUGH ABOUT 12Z OR SO THEN
CONDITIONS GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO MVFR DURING LATE MORNING HOURS AND
EVENTUALLY VFR FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING AFTERNOON HOURS.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 221 PM EST SAT DEC 3 2005)

SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...

MODELS HAVE COME INTO GOOD AGREEMENT ON MOVING THE SURFACE LOW UP
THROUGH CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND EASTERN OHIO TONIGHT.  A BROAD AREA OF
LIFT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT.  WITH
THE 850 INFLOW INCREASING TO 50 TO 60 KTS OVERNIGHT...EXPECT A
STRONG SURGE OF WARM AIR TO MOVE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION DURING
THE EVENING HOURS...MAINLY BETWEEN THE OHIO RIVER AND WESTERN SLOPES
OF THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS.  WHILE THE CURRENT CONDITIONS HAVE
NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS IN THE TEENS AND LOWER
20S...MUCH OF THE INITIAL MOISTURE AND PRECIP WITH GO TO SATURATING
THE ATMOSPHERE AND BUT THE INITIAL PRECIPITATION COULD BEGIN AS A
WINTRY MIX . BUT THE SURGE OF WARM AIR SHOULD TURN THE PRECIPITATION
TO RAIN IN THIS AREA.  HOWEVER...ACROSS THE GREENBRIER VALLEY AND
PARTS OF SOUTHEAST OHIO WHICH WILL BE EITHER ALONG THE TRACK OF THE
SURFACE LOW OR JUST WEST OF IT...THE WARM WEDGE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH
TO TURN THE PRECIPITATION OVER...SO THE WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL BE
DOMINATE THROUGH THE EVENT.  THUS HAVE CONTINUED THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY IN THE MOUNTAINS...BUT HAVE ALSO INCLUDED 4 OHIO COUNTIES
AS WELL.

FOR TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT...GENERALLY HAVE RISING VALUES AS THE
WARM WEDGE ADVANCES NORTHWARD.

AS THE LOW DEPARTS SUNDAY MORNING...THE RAIN...EXCEPT FOR A MIXED
BAG OVER OUR FAR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES IN OHIO...WILL QUICKLY EXIT
FROM WEST TO EAST. COLD AIR COLLAPSES ACROSS OUR REGION DURING THE
DAY SUNDAY SO THAT LINGERING RAIN SHOWERS WILL TEND TO GO OVER TO
SNOW SHOWERS...WITH MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS.

THE BIG QUESTION REMAINS OUR SECOND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL
PASS SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR REGION MONDAY. THE MODELS...WHICH HAD
DRAMATICALLY SHIFTED THE TRACK...ALONG WITH MOST OF THE PRECIP...
WELL SOUTH OF OUR REGION LAST NIGHT ON THE 00Z RUNS...HAVE NOW
SHIFTED BACK NORTHWARD TO CLIP THE MOUNTAINS WITH SIGNIFICANT SNOW.
CONTRARY TO PREVIOUS RUNS WHERE MODELS WHERE REALLY AT ODDS...THE
12Z MODELS ARE MUCH MORE IN AGREEMENT. WITH COLD AIR WELL
ESTABLISHED OVER THE REGION...ANY PRECIP WITH THE STORM ON MONDAY
WILL BE SNOW. THUS...FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO PULL SIGNIFICANT
ACCUMULATING SNOWS ON MONDAY BACK INTO THE MOUNTAINS...BUT HAVE KEPT
ACCUMULATIONS AT A MINIMUM WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS...WITH LITTLE OR NO
ACCUMULATION WEST OF A CHARLESTON-CLARKSBURG LINE.

BEHIND THE LOW MONDAY NIGHT...THERE WILL BE GOOD COLD ADVECTION ON
NORTHWEST FLOW WITH TYPICAL SNOW SHOWERS...MOSTLY OVER THE
MOUNTAINS.

LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...

COLD NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. EXPECT BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES WITH NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN TOWARD THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEKEND...ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO
MODERATE SOME AND SOME BRIEF DRYING.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 1257 PM EST SAT DEC 3 2005)

AVIATION...

SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY OVER WRN ARKANSAS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH ENE
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. BROAD AREA OF WARM ADVECTION
DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM AS 850 MB INFLOW INCREASES TO
50 TO 60 KTS OVERNIGHT. EXPECT CEILINGS TO LOWER FROM 7K TO 10K FT
THIS AFTERNOON TO MVFR LEVELS BY EARLY THIS EVENING AS
PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO BREAK OUT. ULTIMATELY EXPECT CEILINGS IN
THE 1500FT RANGE WITH THE RAIN SHIELD AS IS MOVES THROUGH WITH
VISIBILITIES DOWN TO IFR LEVELS. WARM AIR SHOULD PUSH IN
STRONGLY...BUT WITH AIRMASS INITIALLY COLD AND DRY...INITIAL PUSH
OF PCPN COULD FALL IN THE FORM OF SNOW...SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN
FOR PKB/EKN/CKB.

BY 12Z...EXPECT SFC LOW NEAR PIT TO BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT EAST
OF THE MOUNTAINS. COLD FRONT SHOULD BE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION AT
THIS TIME SO EXPECT COLDER AIR FROM THE WEST TO BEGIN TO PUSH BACK
EASTWARD...TURNING ANY LINGERING SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS BACK TO
SNOW DURING THE MORNING HOURS. CEILINGS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MVFR
RANGE DURING THE MORNING AS THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND WESTERLY
FLOW REMAIN IN PLACE.
