NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
247 PM EST FRI DEC 6 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT CONTINUES SOUTHEAST WITH ABUNDANT
PRECIPITATION THROUGH TONIGHT. BRIEF HIGH PRESSURE SATURDAY.
ANOTHER WET SYSTEM SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A COUPLE MORE WAVES MOVING UP THE COLD
FRONT AS IT SLOWLY SAGS SOUTHEAST. ACTUAL COLD FRONT IS SE OF
CWA...BUT BELOW 0C AIR REMAINS MAINLY NW OF CWA...WITH SLIGHT WARM
NOSE ALOFT STILL IN PLACE AS WELL. RAIN/WINTRY MIX LINE APPEARS TO
BE NUDGING INTO NW PERRY COUNTY AS OF 18Z. TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER
ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN FAIRLY STEADY...OR VERY SLOWLY COOL THIS
AFTERNOON UNTIL NEXT WAVE PASSES AND COOLER AIR CAN BEGIN TO FILTER
IN. THAT WAVE LOOKS TO BE IN CENTRAL KY RIGHT NOW. HAVE ONE MORE
WAVE STILL PROGGED TO MOVE NW AS WELL THIS EVENING...AND THEN PRECIP
INTENSITIES SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. USED A BLEND OF NAM/RAP FOR WARM NOSE INTO
TONIGHT...THEN TRANSITIONED TO NAM/GFS BLEND...AND USED THIS TO
DEVELOP P-TYPE TRANSITION ZONE AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. THIS PROCESS
COOLED THINGS A BIT FASTER THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST...SO HAVE WINTRY
PRECIP MIXING IN JUST A BIT FASTER. DUE TO THIS...ADDED JACKSON
COUNTY OHIO TO WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW/SLEET ACCUMULATIONS.
COUNTY AVERAGE SNOW ACCUMULATION ACROSS PERRY COUNTY REMAINS
MARGINAL FOR WARNING CRITERIA...BUT STILL EXPECT A DOSE OF HEAVY
SNOW THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. HEAVIEST ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE
IN THE NW HALF OF THE COUNTY. COULD GET A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF
FREEZING RAIN ACROSS LOWLANDS AS COLDER TEMPS DROP SE THROUGH THE
NIGHT...HOWEVER WITH WARM/WET GROUND THE ONLY ICE ACCUMULATIONS
SHOULD BE VERY LIGHT AND ONLY ON ELEVATED SURFACES -- FOR EXAMPLE
TOPS OF CARS.

USED NON-DIURNAL TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...BY BLENDING
MAV/MET TEMPS TONIGHT AND MAV/CONSALL TEMPS FOR HIGHS. THIS KEEPS
TEMPS DROPPING AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. LOWER
ELEVATIONS MAY GET A LITTLE DIURNAL RISE BUT ONLY A DEGREE OR TWO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AFTER A BRIEF BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION SATURDAY...ANOTHER WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL RIDE NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLED
NEAR/ALONG MOUNTAIN ZONES TOWARDS THE REGION. AS WITH PREVIOUS
SYSTEM...GOOD MOISTURE SURGE EXPECTED IN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT...AIDED BY 30-40 KT LLJ. PW VALUES DONT LOOK AS THOUGH THEY
WILL GET AS HIGH AS WITH PREVIOUS SYSTEM...GENERALLY TOPPING OUT AT
JUST ABOVE AN INCH.

AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE REGION...A SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW
WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA. PRECIPITATION WILL INITIALLY START OFF
AS SNOW SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...BUT TRANSITION TO
SLEET...AND/OR FREEZING RAIN AT TIMES AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...AND
THE SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW BECOMES MORE DOMINANT. SIGNIFICANT ICE
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS...AND HAVE ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 09Z
SUNDAY UNTIL 09Z MONDAY ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN ZONES. LOWLAND ZONES
WILL SEE MIXED PRECIPITATION GRADUALLY CHANGE OVER TO RAIN BY LATE
MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON ON SUNDAY.

AS WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST...KEPT THE NON DIURNAL TREND SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY...AND EXPECT ALL AREAS TO TRANSITION TO RAIN BY EARLY
MONDAY MORNING. EXPECTING A GENERAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW/SLEET
ACCUMULATION SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST OHIO...AND
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WV ZONES...BEFORE THE TRANSITION TO RAIN LATER
IN THE DAY SUNDAY. ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS...HAVE A GENERAL 0.25 TO 0.5
INCHES OF ICE ACCUMULATION...THIS IS GENERALLY THE WINTER STORM
WATCH COUNTIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE FINALLY TAKES CONTROL TUESDAY AND LASTS THE
REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK...UNDER DRY WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
THIS WILL BRING LOTS OF SUNSHINE BUT COLD TEMPERATURES THROUGH MID
WEEK...THEN A SLOW WARMING TREND INTO THE 40S BY FRIDAY AS THE HIGH
CENTER SLIDES EAST OF THE AREA. WITH DRY AIR IN PLACE AND LACK OF
CLOUDS...EXPECT LARGE DIURNAL RANGES IN TEMPERATURES THIS
WEEK...BRINGING QUITE COLD NIGHTS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
GENERAL RULE THROUGH THE NIGHT WILL BE IFR CEILINGS WITH MVFR TO
IFR VISIBILITIES AS LARGE STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE
REGION. SHOULD START TO SEE CEILINGS IMPROVE EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING ACROSS SE OHIO...THEN IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR AT TAF SITES
DURING THE DAY SATURDAY AS THE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY. THIS AFTERNOON
PRECIP SHOULD BE MAINLY RAIN BUT THEN PRECIPITATION TYPE BECOMES A
TOUGH CALL AT TIME AS COLD AIR BEGINS TO FILTER IN FROM THE WEST.
WESTERN TAF SITES WILL BE THE FIRST TO CHANGE...GOING FROM RAIN TO
SLEET TO SNOW OVER A SEVERAL HOUR TIME PERIOD. CAN NOT RULE OUT A
VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN...HOWEVER PAVEMENT WITH BE WARM
AND WET SO SHOULD NOT GET ANY ICE ACCUMULATION EXCEPT POSSIBLY ON
ELEVATED SURFACES. LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL DECREASE FROM WEST TO
