AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
621 AM EST MON FEB 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CROSSES THE AREA TODAY.  A WARM FRONT BRINGS SNOW
TRANSITIONING TO A WINTRY MIX LATER TONIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA.  LOW PRESSURE PASSES SLOWLY TUESDAY
NIGHT.  AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSES WEDNESDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE
ARRIVES FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
WITH UP TO 10 KTS OF WIND...EXTENDED WIND CHILL ADVISORY A COUPLE OF
HOURS INTERIOR SE OH THIS MORNING...UNTIL 9 AM.  WITH EVEN STRONGER
WINDS AND LOWER TEMPERATURES IN THE MOUNTAINS...EXTENDED THE WIND
CHILL ADVISORY THERE UNTIL 11 AM THIS MORNING.

ARCTIC HIGH PASSES QUICKLY N OF THE AREA TODAY.  IN THE ABSENCE OF
MUCH OF AN UPPER RIDGE IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT...HIGH AND EVEN MID
LEVEL MOISTURE STREAKS ESE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...MAINLY SOUTHERN
PORTIONS THEREOF EARLY ON.  AS THE HIGH DRIFTS E THROUGH PA
TONIGHT...WARM FRONT CREEPS N THROUGH THE TN VALLEY TONIGHT.

TIGHT BAROCLINIC ZONE JUST N OF THE FRONT SPELLS NARROW ZONE OF
PRECIPITATION PENCILING E RIGHT INTO CNTRL PORTION OF AREA TONIGHT
WHICH BUILDS N BY DAWN TUE AS UPPER RIDGE THAT DOES EVENTUALLY BUILD
SHIFTS E OF THE AREA.  THIS TURNS UPPER FLOW  MORE TO THE
SW...WIDENING THE ZONE OF ISENTROPIC LIFT.

WITH BONE DRY AIR IN PLACE ALONG WITH COLD GROUND DUE TO CURRENT
TEMPERATURES...FREEZING RAIN IS A THREAT WHEN THE WARM LAYER ALOFT
RISES ABOVE FREEZING.  THIS OCCURS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA BY 12Z
TUE.  BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW A QUICK TRANSITION FROM SNOW TO FREEZING
RAIN AS THIS HAPPENS...WITH LITTLE IF ANY SLEET.  THIS IS ON ACCOUNT
OF THE SOUNDING PROFILE...WHICH SHOWS THAT THE WARM NOSE IS REALLY
NOT MUCH OF A NOSE AT ALL...BUT RATHER ELONGATED.

FOLLOWING HPC QPF CLOSELY...WHICH...LIKE THE NAM AND GFS...KEEPS
AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF A QUARTER INCH LIQUID MAINLY W OF THE AREA
THROUGH 12Z TUE...CAME UP WITH ABOUT 2 INCHES SNOWFALL FAR NORTHWEST
PORTION OF AREA THROUGH 12Z...WITH LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH S OF
THERE.

IN COMBINATION WITH SIMILAR AMOUNTS BEYOND 12Z TUE MORNING...LOOKING
AT TWO TO FOUR INCH SNOW TOTALS INTERIOR SE OHIO AND ONE TO TWO
INCHES SOUTH OF THERE TO ABOUT AN HTS-CKB LINE.  SE OF
THERE...AMOUNTS ARE LESS AND POPS ARE UNDER 50 PERCENT.  ICE
AMOUNTS LOOK LIKE FIVE TO TWENTY HUNDREDTHS ACROSS THESE SAME
AREA...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN OUR SOUTHERN OH COUNTIES.

THIS WARRANTS AN ADVISORY FOR THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND ICE AS
NEITHER OF THE TWO HIT WARNING CRITERIA.  WITH AN INCH OR LESS
SNOWFALL THROUGH 2 AM AND FREEZING RAIN NOT COMMENCING UNTIL BETWEEN
2 AND 4 AM...ADVISORY BEGINS 2 AM TUE.  WITH WARM FRONT SURGING N
TUE FOLLOWED BY STRONG S FLOW...TEMPERATURES QUICKLY RISE ABOVE
FREEZING THROUGHOUT THE ADVISORY AREA WITHIN A MATTER OF JUST A
COUPLE OF HOURS...WITH ALL LOCALES ABOVE FREEZING BY NOON...SUCH IS
THE END TIME OF THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY.

ONGOING HIGHS FOR TODAY WERE BELOW GUIDANCE SAVE FOR THE FWC WHICH
WAS ACCEPTED .GIVEN ARCTIC AIR MASS IN PLACE.  AFTER SOME EARLY
RADIATION THIS EVENING...TEMPERATURES RISE TOWARD DAWN.  USED A
BLEND OF THE NAM12 TEMPERATURES AND THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...WHICH
ENTAILED LITTLE CHANGE S AND LOWERING OF A COUPLE OF DEGREES N.
THESE TEMPERATURES WERE OF COURSE CRITICAL TO THE WEATHER FORECAST.

USED THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND QP FORECASTS...AS DESCRIBED
ABOVE...ALONG WITH THE WARM LAYER ALOFT TOOL USING THE NAM12...TO
GENERATE THE WINTER WEATHER GRIDS...AND THE SNOW AND ICE AMOUNTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE WEATHER MESS CONTINUES TUES MRNG FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.  A WARM
LAYER ALOFT EXISTS WHILE SFC TEMPS ARE JUST BELOW 32F CREATING THE
POTPOURRI OF WINTER WEATHER.  ANY ZR RAPIDLY CHANGES OVER TO RA IN
THE SRN COAL FIELDS AND SWRN VA SHORTLY AFTER DAWN THEN QUICKLY
MOVES UP THE WINDWARD SIDE OF THE APPLCHS.  FARTHER W...COLD AIR AT
THE GROUND REMAINS ENTRENCHED ALLOWING FOR SEVERAL ADDITIONAL HRS OF
ZR.  WARM LAYER ALOFT TEMPS CLIMB ABOVE 0C BY 13Z...SO ANY SN
ACCUM WILL BE OVER THE FAR NRN COUNTIES OF PERRY AND MORGAN AND THE
NRN MTNS.  COOK METHOD YIELDS AN ADDITIONAL INCH DURING THE MRNG
BEFORE LIQUID PCPN ENSUES.  ICE ACCUM WILL BE THE HIGHEST ALONG THE
COUNTIES BORDERING THE OHIO RIVER.  SREF/GEFS PLUMES AND PTYPE PROB
INDICATE MOSTLY SN/ZR/RA TRANSITION WITH PERHAPS AN HOUR OR TWO OF
IP.  WITH THE WINTRY MIX COMMENCING IN THE PREDAWN HRS OPTED TO
INCLUDE A GOOD PORTION OF THE WV LLNDS IN THE WINTER WX ADV PER
TRAVEL HEADACHES FOR THE TUES MRNG RUSH.

SFC LOW RIDES UP THE OHIO RIVER DURING THE DAY WITH THE FRONT
FINALLY REACHING THE OHIO RIVER BY 0Z WED.  295K ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE
AND LAYERED QVEC CONV WARRANT CAT POPS AREAWIDE TUES.  RAINFALL
TOTALS AT THIS POINT WILL BE MANAGEABLE WITH VALUES UNDER AN INCH.
THIS IS WELL BELOW THE REQUIRED NUMBERS TO INITIATE HIGH WATER.
HIGHEST AMOUNTS SHALL BE ON THE OHIO RIVER FM PKB- HTS- DWU.

NCEP CHAIN DIVERGE ON THEIR SOLUTIONS HERE AFTER WHILE THEIR
RESPECTIVE EPS SHOW A LARGE SPREAD.  NAM IS FASTER PUSHING THE
BOUNDARY THROUGH WITH DRY WX TAKING HOLD FOR THE LLNDS BY 6Z WED.
MEANWHILE THE GFS IS ABOUT 3-6 HRS SLOWER. FOR THE TIME
BEING...SIDED WITH THE GFS SPEED...BUT ALLOW A DECREASE IN PCPN POT
ACR SERN OH TWRD DAWN WED.

THE MID LVL SYSTM CROSSES WEDNESDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER DO NOT EXPECT
MUCH SN FROM IT.  UPSLOPE WINDS...LLVL RH...AND THE ENERGY ALOFT
COULD PRODUCE A FEW INCHES IN THE NRN MTNS.  HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ECWMF AND GFS BOTH RESOLVED A WEAK BAROCLINIC ZONE CROSSING FRIDAY
NIGHT.  RAIN WILL BE THE PREDOMINATE PTYPE WITH SFC TEMPS WELL INTO
THE 40S.  THINGS GET MURKY THEREAFTER WITH THE FRONT BECOMING
STATIONARY IN THE MTNS AWAITING A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING UP FM
THE GULF.  WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE ERN GREAT LAKES AND
NE CAA BL FLOW ANOTHER WINTRY MIX IS PSBL FOR SAT NGT SUN MRNG PER
THE GFS.  WARM AIR THEN ENGULFS THE AREA ALLOWING FOR THE CHANGE
OVER TO RAIN.  THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME
RANGE...SO WILL NOT INCLUDE IT IN THE HWO.  CLOUDS AND COLD WEATHER
RETURN AT THE END OF THE PERIOD WITH A FULL LATITUDE TROUGH
DEVELOPING OVER THE ERN CONUS.

AFTER A STRETCH OF SEASONAL WEATHER FOR LATE WEEK...COLD AIR RETURNS
THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING JUST N OF THE AREA TODAY WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING LIGHT W TO WNW WINDS.  HAVE GUSTS AT TIMES ONLY FOR FIRST FEW
HOURS OF THE FORECAST AT BKW.

VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY WITH THE HIGH IN CONTROL.  THE
LIGHT W TO WNW WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE BY LATE IN THE
DAY.

A WARM FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE W WILL BRING INCREASING HIGH AND
MID CLOUD TODAY STARTING FIRST THING THIS MORNING.  THESE CLOUDS
WILL LOWER AND THICKEN TONIGHT AS THE HIGH RETREATS TO THE NE.  THE
FLOW WILL BECOME LIGHT SE AS A RESULT.

THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE ACROSS THE NW HALF OF THE AREA WITH IFR
SN CODED BY THE END OF THE PERIOD PKB...MVFR VSBY IN LIGHT SNOW CKB
AND MVFR VSBY IN LIGHT SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN HTS.

AVIATION OUTLOOK /AFTER 06Z MONDAY...
IFR PSBL IN SN TUE MRNG...PKB-CKB AND EVENTUALLY EKN.PCPN WILL
CHANGE FROM SN TO IP AND THEN FZRA.  THIS WILL LIFT
CONDITIONS OUT OF IFR RANGE BUT THE FREEZING RAIN COULD LAST SEVERAL
HOURS NORTHERN SITES BEFORE BECOMING JUST RAIN.
