AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
448 AM EST SAT FEB 3 2007
.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
ARCTIC FRONT SET TO MOVE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
MOISTURE WILL BE VERY LIMITED WITH THE FRONT...WITH UPSTREAM
DEWPOINTS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS OR BELOW ZERO. DEWPOINTS FOR MET AND
MAV GUIDANCE ARE ALREADY AS MANY AS 10 TO 15 DEGREES TOO HIGH. FOR
THE LOWLANDS...I EXPECT MAINLY JUST FLURRIES...AND THUS KEPT CHANCES
FOR MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION LOW. WINDS WILL VEER FROM SOUTHWEST TO
WEST BEHIND THE FRONT...AND WILL ALSO QUICKLY BECOME ANTICYCLONIC
OVERNIGHT /AHEAD OF YET ANOTHER FRONT THAT WILL COME THROUGH
SUNDAY/...THUS EVEN UPSLOPE SNOW SHOULD BE LIMITED. I EXPECT ONLY AN
INCH TO TWO AT MOST FOR THE WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS.
THE OTHER IMMEDIATE IMPACT OF THIS SYSTEM...WILL BE WIND CHILLS
BEING SENT DOWN INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO EVEN BELOW ZERO AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT FOR MUCH OF THE CWA. EXPECT WIND CHILL ADVISORY
CRITERIA OVERNIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING FOR POCAHONTAS AND
RANDOLPH COUNTIES /ESPECIALLY HIGHER TERRAIN/...AND ADVISORY IS
BEING ISSUED WITH THIS PACKAGE. A COUPLE SOUTHEAST OHIO COUNTIES
WILL BE MARGINAL...AND MAY HAVE TO BE LATER ADDED TO THE ADVISORY.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MODELS SHOW THE WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUING THROUGH
MUCH OF NEXT WEEK...WITH A MODERATING TREND TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK
AS THE UPPER FLOW VEERS MORE TO THE WEST. NEVERTHELESS..STILL BELOW
NORMAL THROUGH THE ENTIRE WEEK. WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM FLOW
DOMINATING OUT OF THE ARCTIC REGIONS...NO BIG STORMS ARE FORECAST...
BUT A SERIES OF REINFORCING SHOTS OF ARCTIC AIR WILL INVADE THE
REGION THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. LOOKS LIKE THE BRUNT OF ARCTIC AIR
WILL ARRIVE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH SOME OF THE COLDEST
AIR IN RECENT YEARS. RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES EARLY NEXT WEEK ARE
STILL IN QUESTION...ESPECIALLY IF SOME CLOUDS AND FLURRIES LINGER IN
THE ARCTIC AIR MASS. SPEAKING OF PRECIP...OTHER THAN FLURRIES FROM
TIME TO TIME IN THE ARCTIC AIR MASSES...THE BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW
SHOWERS WILL BE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS. A CLIPPER
TYPE SYSTEM WILL BRING A BETTER CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW TOWARD THE END
OF THE WEEK ALONG WITH THE MODERATING TREND.
.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 1252 AM EST SAT FEB 3 2007/
AVIATION /06Z-06Z/...
UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS WILL WRAP UP FOR THE MOUNTAIN TERMINALS
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS OR SO...THANKS TO A COMBINATION OF
VERY DRY SURFACE AIR WORKING IN...AND WINDS BEGINNING TO VEER
MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AHEAD OF OUR NEXT COLD FRONT. THAT FRONT IS
POISED TO SWEEP NW TO SE AFTER 18Z TODAY. TAFS SHOW TERMINALS
GOING BACK INTO MVFR LATE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING BEHIND THE
FRONT...HOWEVER...IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ANY SITE COULD SLIP INTO
IFR OR WORSE FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME IF BRIEFLY CAUGHT UNDER A
HEAVIER SNOW SHOWER WITH THE FRONT. DRY AND VERY COLD AIR MASS
WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN THIS EVENING...SHUTTING DOWN LOWLAND SNOW
SHOWERS.
PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 726 PM EST FRI FEB 2 2007/
SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...
DRIER AIR CAUSING CLOUDS TO CLEAR A BIT QUICKER ON THE WESTERN EDGE
OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...AIR IS COLD ENOUGH THAT SNOW IS
BEING GENERATED VERY CLOSE TO THE CLEARING LINE. WILL UPDATE THE
FORECAST IN THESE AREAS.
AVIATION /00Z-24Z/...
CLOUDS WILL BE CLEARING FROM THE WEST OVERNIGHT WITH SNOW SHOWERS
ENDING. ARCTIC FRONT WILL ARRIVE ON SATURDAY...BRINGING MORE CLOUDS
AND SNOW SHOWERS.
PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 146 PM EST FRI FEB 2 2007/
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
USING THE NAM SOLUTION...HIGH PRESSURE REPRESENTING CENTER OF ONE OF
COLDEST AIR MASSES TO HIT THIS AREA IN SOME TIME...BUILDS IN
MONDAY NIGHT. UPSLOPE FLOW AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS OF FLUFFY SNOW
GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. WITH RADIATIVE CONDITIONS...LOWS AT
LEAST AS LOW AS THE LATEST MEX NUMBERS SEEM MOST REASONABLE.
CURRENT RUN OF THE GFS SHOWS OVERUNNING EVENT TUESDAY. THIS WAS
SUMMARILY DISCARDED BY HPC...WHICH MAKES SENSE IN LIGHT OF LACK OF
CONTINUITY WITH THIS MODEL PAST SEVERAL RUNS. OTHER MODELS LIKE THE
ECMWF AND EVEN THE NAM THROUGH 84 HOURS DO NOT SUGGEST THIS.
OTHERWISE ACCEPTED HPC THROUGH DAY 7 WITH COLD...DRY PATTERN IN
PLACE. MAXT FROM ECMWF (LOCAL INIT) FIT A LITTLE BIT BETTER WITH
NUMBERS IN LINE WITH HPC BUT WITH A BETTER PATTERN.
