A FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO
1 PM EDT SATURDAY. 

THIS MORNING WAS NOT ONLY NOT AS COLD AS FORECAST...BUT IT WAS
ACTUALLY A TOUCH MILDER THAN LAST NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO FALL TO THE FREEZING MARK
AROUND SUNRISE IN LOCATIONS THAT HAVE NOT ALREADY. READINGS
SHOULD BE ABOVE FREEZING EVERYWHERE BY LATE MORNING.

FOR TONIGHT...WE ARE AGAIN FORECASTING TEMPERATURES TO DROP WELL
DOWN INTO THE 20S. WHILE OBSERVATIONS FROM THIS MORNING MAY CAST
DOUBT ON THIS AT FIRST GLANCE...THERE IS A FRESH COLD AIR MASS
SLATED TO ARRIVE THIS EVENING...LENDING CREDENCE TO THE COLD
FORECAST. THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARRIVAL
OF COLD AIR WILL ALSO SPARK SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY IN THE
MOUNTAINS...WHERE LIGHT ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN TONIGHT.

SPECIAL CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO PROTECT VEGETATION THAT IS
SENSITIVE TO TEMPERATURES THAT DROP BELOW FREEZING. NOT ALL
VEGETATION THAT HAS COME TO LIFE NEEDS PROTECTED...SOME PLANTS
ARE HARDIER...LIKE MANY ANNUALS.

A FREEZE WARNING MEANS SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE IMMINENT OR
HIGHLY LIKELY. THESE CONDITIONS WILL KILL CROPS AND OTHER
SENSITIVE VEGETATION...BUT IT IS UP TO INDIVIDUALS TO KNOW THEIR
PARTICULAR PLANTS AND WHETHER THEY NEED PROTECTED OR NOT.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
441 AM EDT FRI APR 6 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  A FEW
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL BRING SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS FROM TIME
TO TIME...PARTICULARLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. WARMER WEATHER RETURNS BY
MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK...IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF A STRONGER
WEATHER SYSTEM.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
VERY CONFUSED WEATHER PATTERN TO SAY THE LEAST...DESPITE ITS
SIMPLICITY AT FIRST GLANCE.  TEMPERATURES TOPPED OUT WELL BELOW THE
NUMBERS THURSDAY...ONLY TO ALL BUT FAIL TO DO THEIR DIURNAL DROP
OVERNIGHT.  THIS DESPITE COLD ADVECTION...WHICH...DESPITE NOT
REALIZING MUCH COOLING...HAS CONSPIRED WITH UPSLOPE TO GENERATE
MEASURABLE SNOW IN PARTS OF NORTHERN WV.  LACK OF STLT DATA HAS NOT
HELPED...BUT SURFACE OBS SUGGEST CLEARING LINE HAS JUST ABOUT MADE
IT TO THE OH RIVER.

EXPECT THE MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS TO QUIT FIRST THING THIS
MORNING...AND THE CLEARING TO PENETRATE MUCH OF THE WV LOWLANDS AS
THE APRIL SUN DEEPENS THE MIXING LAYER...ERADICATING THE HIGH LOW
LEVEL RH VALUES CURRENTLY PRESENT.

SHORT WAVE WILL APPROACH FROM THE NW LATE TODAY AND TRAVERSE THE
AREA TONIGHT.  ONE WOULD THINK THE COOLING ALOFT THIS TIME OF YEAR
WOULD CAUSE POP UP SHOWERS TO SPRING UP EVERYWHERE THIS AFTERNOON.
BUT THE AIR MASS IS SO DRY THAT SOME DOUBT IS ACTUALLY CAST ON
THIS.  WITH THE LATE ARRIVAL OF THE SHORT WAVE...THINK WE WILL SEE
LOW TOP CONVECTION GET GOING BUT NOT UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY.

ALSO...A MID LEVEL CANOPY OF CLOUD REMAINS PROGGED TO ARRIVE OUT
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVE...AND THIS IS EVIDENT AS A MID
TO HIGH DECK OVER MID MISSISSIPPI AND WESTERN TENNESSEE VALLEYS ON
STLT IMAGERY AVBL THROUGH 0315Z THIS PAST EVENING.  THIS MAY PUT A
CAP ON HEATING AND CONTRIBUTE TO DELAY OF ONSET OF CONVECTION AS
WELL.

THE HIGHEST POPS ARE ONCE AGAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT...WITH THE
HELP OF ELEVATION AND UPSLOPE.  WENT CLOSE TO HPC QPF THOUGH TRIMMED
IT BACK A BIT ACROSS THE N TO BETTER MATCH WWD GRAPHICS...WHICH ARE
MORE TIGHTLY FOCUSED ON THE TRACK OF THE SHORT WAVE FEATURE MOVING
THROUGH. CAME UP WITH ONE TO NEARLY THREE INCHES SNOWFALL STARTING
AT ABOUT 2000 FEET THE THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS UP ACROSS THE HIGHEST
ELEVATIONS AND ESPECIALLY THE WINDWARD SLOPES...BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA.

AS STATED EARLIER...THE TEMPERATURES SEEM TO BE ALL OVER THE PLACE
IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE NUMBERS.  WENT CLOSER TO THE MAV OUTLIER
TODAY GIVEN STRONG HEATING AND A DEEP MIXING WE SHOULD REALIZE THIS
TIME OF YEAR.  THE MID DECK MAY THROUGH A MONKEY WRENCH IN
THIS...TOO.  THIS EIGHTH MID MAY BE PROVING TO BE ONE TOO MANY.
WENT ABOVE THE NUMBERS TONIGHT...BUT NOT AS FAR AS WHAT IS OCCURRING
EARLY THIS MORNING.  THERE IS A FRESH COLD AIR MASS ARRIVING.
FREEZES WARNINGS CONTINUE TO BE IN ORDER THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THIS PERIOD.  GENERAL TROUGHING PATTERN WITH MUCH
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK.  EXPECTING A BRIEF LULL IN SHSN ACTIVITY AROUND 12Z SATURDAY
AS GFS/NAM SEEM TO AGREE ON MIDLEVEL VORT/SHORTWAVE EXITING THE
MOUNTAINS AT THIS TIME.  WITH MOISTURE IN PLACE AND STEEP LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES...SHSN WILL FLARE UP ONCE AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
STILL...WITH COLD ADVECTION SLOWING DOWN...EXPECTING ONLY SCATTERED
ACTIVITY.  BEST COVERAGE IN THE MOUNTAINS ALTHOUGH LOW LEVEL WINDS
NOT ABSOLUTELY IDEAL FOR UPSLOPE.

A FEW WEAK WAVES WILL THEN ROTATE ACROSS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURE ADVECTION LOOKS FAIRLY NEUTRAL SATURDAY NIGHT...AND
AIRMASS MODERATES A BIT ON SUNDAY WITH H500 HEIGHTS RISING.  KEPT
LOW POPS MAINLY CONFINED TO THE MOUNTAINS FOR THESE PERIODS.  BEEFED
UP CLOUDS A BIT MONDAY WITH LAST RIPPLE BEFORE TROUGH LIFTS
OUT...BUT GENERALLY KEPT POPS OUT OF ALL BUT THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS.

DID NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER FORECAST FOR MIDWEEK SYSTEM AT THIS POINT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS AGREE COLD UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHEASTERN CANADA THIS WEEKEND
WILL SLOWLY LIFT OUT ON MONDAY...BUT THEN ALLOW ANOTHER UPPER LOW TO
DROP OVER THE WESTERN U.S. UPPER RIDGE INTO THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI
AND OHIO VALLEYS MID WEEK. LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAINS
SUNDAY...WITH LITTLE ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION...WILL END AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FINALLY BUILDS IN FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL SUNDAY WITH
THE HELP OF CLOUDS...BUT WITH A MODERATING TREND ON MONDAY WITH
MORE SUNSHINE. WHILE ALL MODELS SHOW A MAJOR SYSTEM FOR MID
WEEK...THERE IS CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCE ON THE TRACK AND SPEED OF
THE SYSTEM. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS TO GO WITH A BLEND OF THE
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS...WHICH TRACKS THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW FROM
THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ACROSS THE CENTRAL OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY
NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER
WITH IT...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES AHEAD OF THE LOW...SO THAT PRECIP TYPE
WILL BE RAIN. THE LOW WILL THEN EXIT TO THE EAST EARLY
THURSDAY...WITH COLDER AIR AND POST FRONTAL RAIN SHOWERS.
HOWEVER...THE AIR BEHIND THE LOW DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AS COLD
AS THE AIR MASS OVER US TODAY.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
KEKN CAN STILL HAVE IFR CIGS AND VSBYS IN SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE FIRST
FEW HOURS OF THE TAF...OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE BALANCE OF
THE OVERNIGHT.  VFR WILL ALSO BE THE PREDOMINANT CONDITIONS DURING
THE DAY FRIDAY.  OUTSIDE LOWER CLOUD AT KEKN IN SNOW SHOWERS EARLY
ON...STRATOCUMULUS DECK OF 4-5 KFT EARLY ON WILL MIX HIGHER...TO AT
LEAST 6 KFT FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

AFTERNOON HEATING AND A SHORT WAVE APPROACHING FROM THE NW WILL
CAUSE AT LEAST SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO POP UP LATER THIS
AFTERNOON.  THE DRYNESS OF THE AIR MASS...AND THE TIMING OF THE
SHORT WAVE...THIS EVENING...WILL DELAY THE ONSET OF SHOWERS UNTIL
LATE IN THE DAY.  SNOW SHOWERS WILL BECOME NUMEROUS IN THE
MOUNTAINS TONIGHT...BRINGING IFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES KBKW AND
PERHAPS KEKN AGAIN TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF.

FLOW TODAY WILL BE MAINLY WNW...DIMINISHING SOMEWHAT THIS MORNING
BUT INCREASING A BIT LATE TODAY OR THIS EVENING AS WEAK SURFACE
REFLECTION OF UPPER SHORT WAVE GOES BY AND THE GRADIENT STRENGTHENS
IN ITS WAKE.

ONCE THE SNOW SHOWERS CLEAR OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS SOMETIME SATURDAY
MORNING...NO SIG WX IS XPCTD THE REST OF SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY AND
INTO TUESDAY.  A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY BRING WET WEATHER...WITH
IFR CONDITIONS...LATE TUESDAY OR TUESDAY NIGHT.
