AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1234 PM EST SUN DEC 23 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST TODAY. LOW PRESSURE BRINGS MAINLY RAIN TO
THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY...MOSTLY ENDING AS A MIX MONDAY
NIGHT. A STRONGER STORM BRINGS MORE PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
1220 AM UPDATE...VERY INTERESTING FEATURE CURRENTLY ACROSS
KY...AND INTO WV/VA...OF A THIN SNAKE-LIKE RADAR ECHO ON THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE MOISTURE RETURNING FROM THE SOUTH. BASED ON
REPORTS RECEIVED BY NWS JKL...DID INCLUDE SOME SPRINKLES/FLURRIES
FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH THIS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
ONE LAST WEAK SHORT WAVE IN FAST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL SWEEP
RAPIDLY BY LATER THIS MORNING. THIS WILL DRAG A WEAK AND TOTALLY
INACTIVE COOL FRONT...WITH HARDLY ANY CLOUDS...INTO THE FAR NORTHERN
PORTION OF OUR AREA BY EVENING. THE FRONT THEN STALLS AS THE UPPER
FLOW BACKS TO A WESTERLY DIRECTION.

AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST TODAY...HI RES MODELS AGREE ON
A DAY OF ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. SOUTHWEST FLOW DURING THE DAY ON THE
BACK SIDE OF THE DEPARTING SURFACE HIGH BRINGS MILDER AIR NORTHWARD
INTO OUR AREA...WITH TEMPERATURES REACHING WELL INTO THE 40S PER
MODEL GUIDANCE.

THE UPPER FLOW THEN BECOMES FAST ZONAL LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. A
WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...UNDER A RELATIVELY LOW AMPLITUDE SHORT
WAVE IN THE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT...IS FORECAST BY ALL THE MODELS TO
APPROACH RAPIDLY FROM THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST LATER TONIGHT. ONLY
SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN THE TRACK...TIMING...AND STRENGTH OF THE
SYSTEM ARE SEEN IN THE MODELS...AS THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE DESTINED
TO TRACK JUST WEST OF OUR AREA. THUS...ALL THE MODELS SHOW A RAPID
INCREASE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CLOUDS TONIGHT ON STRENGTHENING
SOUTHWESTERLY 850 MB WINDS. THIS WILL KEEP THE TEMPERATURES MILDER
THAN LAST NIGHT. DEEPER MOISTURE AND PRECIPITATION ARRIVES AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND WILL BE MOSTLY ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF THE AREA BY
MONDAY MORNING IN THE FORM OF LIGHT RAIN. ANY PRECIPITATION THAT
WOULD MAKE IT INTO NORTHERN AREAS BEFORE DAWN MONDAY MAY START A
VERY LIGHT WINTER MIX. THUS...NO ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
MODELS SHOW A WEAK STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE
AREA...WHILE A SFC LOW PRESSURE CENTER INTENSIFIES ACROSS THE MID
PLAINS...AND MOVES NORTHEAST INTO KY AND WV. THIS LOW TRACKS ALONG
THE OH RIVER THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...INCREASING CHANCES OF PCPN
FROM THE SOUTH. PREVIOUS FORECAST POPS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE OF WHAT
MODELS ARE SHOWING TODAY. MADE MINOR TWEAKS ON THE ONSET AND
SPREADING HIGH LIKELY POPS NORTH MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST OH AND
EASTERN MOUNTAINS.

WITH THE WARM SURGE OF AIR NORTHWARD ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...AND
COLDER AIR NEAR THE SURFACE...COULD SEE A MIX AT THE ONSET
MONDAY...WITH SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...BEFORE ENOUGH WARMING IS ABLE TO OCCUR
FOR A CHANGEOVER TO RAIN. ANY ACCUMULATIONS OF FREEZING RAIN OR
SLEET AT THIS TIME SHOULD BE LIGHT AS OVERALL PERIOD OF TRANSITION
FROM A MIX TO RAIN SHOULD BE BRIEF.

NEARBY THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER...A COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST THROUGH
THE CWA MONDAY EVENING/MONDAY NIGHT...WITH DRIER AIR GRADUALLY
WORKING ITS WAY IN IN ITS WAKE. PRECIPITATION MAY TRANSITION OVER
TO DRIZZLE OR FREEZING DRIZZLE MONDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT. MUCH
OF TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE DRY AT THIS POINT...BUT CLOUDS WILL
GRADUALLY BE ON THE INCREASE AS YET ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL APPROACH THE REGION...BRINGING A RETURN OF UNSETTLED WEATHER
FOR MID WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NO MAJOR CHANGES...STILL PICTURING A STRONGER LOW
PRESSURE...COMPARED TO MONDAY/CHRISTMAS EVE SYSTEM...LIFTING NE
OUT OF THE TN VLY ON TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.  SIDED
TOWARD THE GFS AND ECMWF RATHER THAN THE COLDER SOUTHERN TRACK OF
THE CMC. THIS MEANS THE 925 TO 850 MB LOW TRACKING NE TOWARD THE TRI
STATE AROUND
HTS...REACHING THERE DURING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

WAS ALSO A BIT FASTER INCREASING POPS SW TO NE OVERNIGHT TUESDAY
NIGHT.

THIS TRACK STILL HAS THE INCREASING SE FLOW AT 925 TO 850 MBS
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. TRIED TO HAVE AN EARLY MINIMUM
TEMPERATURE TUESDAY NIGHT WITH READINGS TRYING TO CREEP UP 06Z TO
12Z WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE DOWNSLOPE CORRIDOR W OF THE
MOUNTAINS. WILL INTRODUCE A COUPLE OF HAZARDS...THE WINTRY MIX
POSSIBLE IN THE UPSLOPE AREAS...SUCH AS POCAHONTAS COUNTY TUESDAY
NIGHT BUT ALSO OUR WESTERN COUNTIES IN SOUTHEAST OHIO AND THE OHIO
VALLEY BEING CLOSE TO THE RAIN/SNOW LINE WITH THIS SYSTEM.  OF
COURSE...ANY SHIFT SOUTH IN THE 925 TO 850 MB CIRCULATION BRINGS
MORE SYNOPTIC SNOW FOR OUR OHIO RIVER VALLEY COUNTIES.

BACKLASH SNOW SHOWERS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY...LINGERING THURSDAY NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS.  TRIED TO STAY
HIGHER ON POPS AND CLOUDS...AND A BIT COLDER THAN MEDIUM RANGE
GUIDANCE FOR THURSDAY.

FINALLY A CALMER ENVIRONMENT FOR FRIDAY...BEFORE COLD FRONT LONG
ABOUT SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE IS EXITING THE REGION AS CLOUDS INCREASE FROM THE
SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. WILL HAVE GRADUALLY
INCREASING CLOUDS...AS CEILINGS DROP INTO MVFR FROM SW TO NE
OVERNIGHT. LIGHT RAIN WILL BEGIN MOVING IN TOWARD THE END OF THE
TAF PERIOD...REACHING HTS/BKW EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. MAY EVEN SEE
SOME IFR VIS/CIG SNEAKING INTO THE SOUTH AFTER 12Z.

GENERALLY EXPECTING LIGHT FLOW OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST TODAY...WITH A
FEW GUSTS POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES. WIND WILL
GRADUALLY TURN TO SOUTH EASTERLY BY TOMORROW.
