AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
236 PM EST WED FEB 24 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
REINFORCING COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THIS EVENING. A STRONG UPPER
LOW CROSSES EARLY THURSDAY THEN STALLS TO OUR NORTH AND EAST THROUGH
THE WEEKEND BRINGING NORTHWEST FLOW.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
COMMITTING TO ADVISORY AND WARNING FORECASTS ON THIS CYCLE. GENERAL
PATTERN SHOWS FRONT SWEEPING THROUGH TONIGHT BRING COLD ADVECTION.
UPPER LOW THEN SETTLING IN OVER NORTHEAST BRINGING SUSTAINED NW FLOW
ACROSS THE REGION.  NORTHWEST FLOW WILL SET UP TONIGHT AND
STRENGTHEN LATER THURSDAY BRINGING THE SUSTAINED SNOW SHOWER
PATTERN.  AS A RESULT HAVE STARTED THE ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS
TONIGHT WITH THE INITIAL SNOW SHOWER PUSH.  THE DIFFICULT PROBLEM IS
DEFINING WHERE THE EDGE OF THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BE.  AS A RESULT
HAVE GONE WITH ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT OVER SW WV AS UPPER COLD POOL
SWINGS ACROSS THAT PART OF FORECAST AREA.  AFTER THAT HAVE DROPPED
THE ADVISORY AS I AM LOOKING FOR THE LAKE EFFECT GRADIENT TO RUN
FROM SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS OF WV THROUGH CHARLESTON TO NEAR PT
PLEASANT AND TO THE NORTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE MAIN CHANGE TO OUR GRIDS ON OUR GRAVEYARD SHIFT...FOR THIS TIME
FRAME...WAS TO INCREASE THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE OVER THE WESTERN
LOWLANDS.  AS THE UPPER LOW STALLS OVER NEW YORK...DEEPER MOISTURE
ACTUALLY ROTATES BACK SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. SO
THIS IS NOT PURELY AN UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWER EVENT.  THIS SCENARIO ALSO
HAS US INCREASING THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVIER SNOW OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL LOWLANDS INCLUDING CKB.  EXPANDED THE EXISTING WATCH TO
INCLUDE 6 COUNTIES IN NORTH CENTRAL WV.  ALSO INCREASED THE SNOW
TOTALS A BIT FOR POINTS FURTHER S AND SW INCLUDING SOUTHEAST
OHIO.

CONFIDENCE HIGH ENOUGH TO EXPAND THE EARLY WARNING...POSTED
YESTERDAY...TO INCLUDE EVEN MORE COUNTIES.  ADDED NICHOLAS...UPSHUR
AND BARBOUR COUNTIES TO THE WARNING. THE MAIN THEME IS AN
EXTENDED...OR PROLONG...PERIOD OF WIND BLOWN SNOW SHOWERS.  THINKING
THE BEST COVERAGE IS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

HAVE WIND GUSTS INCREASING THURSDAY AFTERNOON TO 30 TO 40 KNOTS OVER
THE MOUNTAINS.  THOSE STRONG WIND GUSTS COULD EASILY IMPEDE SKI LIFT
OPERATIONS THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY. WIND GUSTS TO AT LEAST 30
KNOTS POSSIBLE IN LOWLANDS.  BLOWING SNOW ALSO INCLUDED IN THE
WEATHER GRIDS FOR THE HIGH ELEVATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
GOT TO CODE UP THE END OF A SNOW EVENT ON THE EXTENDED SHIFT...TO
INCLUDE SNOW AMOUNT GRIDS DAY 3 NT AND ALSO FOR DAY 4...TO BE ABLE
TO GENERATE A STORM TOTAL GRID FOR THE WARNING/WATCH WHICH NO GOES
UNTIL 15Z SAT /DAY 4/.

IN ADDITION TO STRONG UPSLOPE FLOW...NAM AND TO A LESSER EXTENT GFS
HINT AT BANDS SPIRALING OUTWARD FROM THE AGING CYCLONE HAVING
CRANKED UP OVER THE NYC AREA EARLIER ON...ACTUALLY ROTATES INTO THE
AREA...ACCOMPANIED BY GREAT LAKES TRAJECTORY.  THIS ITSELF COULD
ENHANCE SNOWFALL EVEN OVER THE LOWLANDS UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS FRI
NT.  THIS FEATURE IMPACTS THE AREA INTO SATURDAY BEFORE ASSOCIATED
S/W TROUGH ROTATING AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW
EXITS LATE SAT.

UPSLOPE FLOW GRADUALLY DIMINISHES AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE BALANCE OF
THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.  ONE OTHER THING TO NOTE
DURING THE EVENT IS THAT THE SATURATED TO NEAR SATURATED PORTION OF
THE COLUMN GETS BARELY COLD ENOUGH FOR FAVORABLE DENDRITIC GROWTH.

FINALLY...WHILE THE TRACK OF YET ANOTHER SYSTEM EARLY NEXT WEEK
REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT WE
MISS THE STORM AS FAR AS A DIRECT IMPACT...BUT THAT UPSLOPE SNOWS
SET UP IN ITS WAKE ONCE THE SYSTEM SETS UP SOMEWHERE OFF THE E COAST
AS WE MOVE INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

USED A BLEND OF PREV FCST...GFS AND ECMWF FOR HIGHS AND LOWS...AGAIN
SHRINKING TEMPERATURES RANGES WITH HIGHER LOWS AND LOWER HIGHS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CIG LEVELS OF 1 TO 2 THOUSAND FEET WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD.
THE PROBLEM WILL BE WITH THE VISIBILITIES DROPPING PERIODICALLY
BELOW 1 MILE IN SNOW SHOWERS. AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS EVENING THE
SNOW SHOWERS WILL BECOME NUMEROUS.

AFTER 18Z THURSDAY...
SNOW SHOWERS AND ASSOCIATED INTERMITTENT IFR THURSDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY FOR THE MOUNTAINS. STRONG WIND GUSTS
BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KNOTS POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY IN THE
MOUNTAINS.
