AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
555 AM EST WED JAN 30 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG COLD FRONT TODAY WITH STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE SHOWERS AND
STORMS. MUCH COLDER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT BRINGS SNOW THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...ALONG WITH WINDY CONDITIONS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL
WV...NORTHEAST KY...AND SOUTHEAST OH UNTIL 18Z.
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST TODAY. MODELS SHOW
STRONG DYNAMICS AND PRECIPITATELY WATER OF 1.45 INCHES. WITH SOILS
ACROSS THE REGION NEARLY SATURATED...AND ADDITIONAL RAINFALL FROM
1 TO 2 INCHES...AS SUGGESTED BY HPC GUIDANCE COULD PRODUCE HIGH
RISES ON SMALL STREAM...CREEKS AND SOME OF THE MAIN RIVERS THROUGH
THURSDAY. THE MAXIMUM QPF BULLS EYE FOCUSES OVER THE NORTHEAST
MOUNTAINS WHERE WE ARE HOSTING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH.
SOME RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE ALREADY RUNNING HIGH DUE TO MELTING
SNOW AND PREVIOUS RAINFALL. SOME OF THE MAIN RIVERS MOST
VULNERABLE TO REACH FLOOD STAGE ARE THE WEST FORK AT WESTON...THE
GREENBRIER RIVER AT BUCKEYE AND ALDERSON.
THE NAM IS IN AGREEMENT WITH ALL THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS ON THE
TIMING OF A SQUALL LINE REACHING SOUTHEAST OH AROUND 15Z THIS
MORNING. MODELS SHOW H850 FLOW INCREASING JUST AHEAD OF THE SQUALL
LINE TO 50 TO 70 KNOTS IN THE WARM SECTOR...SUGGESTING UPGLIDE
LIKELY TO MIX DOWN TO THE SFC BY THE CONVECTIVE LINE. OUTFLOWS
FROM INDIVIDUAL STORMS COULD PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS AHEAD OF
THE LINE AS WELL. DECIDED TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS THROUGH 1 AM TONIGHT.
A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER COVERS THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY. THE
MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS. WITH FREEZING LEVELS ALONG THE
QLCS WILL BE AROUND 10KFT. THEREFORE...HAIL CAN NOT BE RULED OUT
WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.
THE CONVECTIVE LINE COULD PRODUCE PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN...WITH
SATURATED TERRAIN...AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS...TREES COULD BE
UPROOTED TO CAUSE POWER FLUCTUATIONS OR INTERRUPTIONS.
270K THRU 280K ISENTROPIC SFC SHOW WIND GUST COULD REACH 40 KNOTS
ALONG HIGHER ELEVATIONS THIS MORNING THROUGH TONIGHT. THEREFORE...A
WIND ADVISORY WAS ISSUED FOR PO CA...RANDOLPH AND WEBSTER THROUGH
1 AM TONIGHT. THIS ADVISORY HAS BEEN ALREADY UPGRADED TO A HIGH
WIND WARNING FROM 1 AM TO 10 AM THURSDAY...AS 280K ISENTROPIC SFC
SHOW 50 KNOTS DOWNGLIDING TO THE GROUND SPREADING FROM SOUTHEAST
OH BY 06Z TO THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS BY 09Z THURSDAY. AT THE SAME
TIME...A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE REST OF THE
AREA FROM 1 AM THROUGH 10 AM THURSDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
APPROACHING ACTIVE WEATHER FROM THE WEST WITH MULTIPLE HEADLINES
WILL PRECLUDE A LONG DISCUSSION THIS MORNING. INHERITED MAX TEMPS
FROM PREV FCST WITH HIGHS ON THURSDAY GENERALLY LOW/MID 30S LOWLANDS
STILL LOOK REASONABLE PER EXPECTED 850MB AND 925MB TEMPS. ANY
REMAINING LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE AREA AT 12Z THU WILL BE QUICKLY
WINDING DOWN ACROSS LOWLAND LOCATIONS AS STRONG LARGE SCALE FORCING
FOR SUBSIDENCE OVERSPREADS THE AREA. LIGHT UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE WITH TRAPPED LLVL MOISTURE IN THE LEE OF THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS BUT AMOUNTS SHOULD REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE WITH 850MB
WINDS OUT OF THE WEST AND THUS NOT OFF THE GREAT LAKES. WIND SPEEDS
WILL STAY UP FOR MUCH OF DAY DESPITE THE STRONG SFC LOW RAPIDLY
PULLING AWAY FROM THE AREA...WILL MAINTAIN A RELATIVELY GOOD
PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH AND 925MB WINDS ON THE ORDER OF AROUND
25-30KTS...CAN EXPECT A GENERAL 15G25KT WIND FOR MOST LOCATIONS.
STRONGER WINDS OF COURSE CAN BE EXPECTED FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN
WHERE WILL KEEP THE NEAR-TERM HIGH WIND WARNING GOING THROUGH 15Z
THU.
THE NEXT DISTURBANCE STILL ON TRACK FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AS AN UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH. EXPECT A QUICK DUSTING TO
ABOUT A HALF-INCH OR SO ACROSS THE LOWLANDS...ESPECIALLY FROM
ROUGHLY THE INTERSTATE 64 AND POINTS SOUTH...WITH ABOUT 2-3 INCHES
POSSIBLE FOR THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS BY FRIDAY MORNING. THE SYSTEM
QUICKLY MOVES THROUGH BY EARLY FRIDAY WITH COLDER TEMPERATURES STILL
IN ITS WAKE. NUDGED MAX TEMPS FRIDAY DOWN A COUPLE OF DEGREES MOST
LOCATIONS PER PROGGED 925MB TEMPS. STILL EXPECT SOME LATE DAY SUN
MAINLY ACROSS WEST AND SOUTHWEST ZONES. YET ANOTHER CLIPPER-TYPE
SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA OVERNIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT WITH THE NEXT
CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW AGAIN.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
PATTERN TO STAY COLD OVERALL WITH THE HUDSON BAY VORTEX FIRMLY IN
CONTROL. RECOVERY FROM THE AIRMASS FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT TOMORROW
WILL BE SLOW...BUT SHOULD SEE NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES RETURN INTO
THE MONDAY TIME FRAME. SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH AN ALBERTA CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM TRAVERSING THE
GREAT LAKES. AFTER A DRY SUNDAY...PRECIPITATION RETURNS EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH ANOTHER STRONGER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL ALSO
CONTAIN CLIPPER TYPE CHARACTERISTICS. IN THE END...THE COLD
AIR MASSES WILL CONTINUOUSLY BE REINFORCED DESPITE THE
AFOREMENTIONED BRIEF MODIFICATION PRIOR TO THE SECOND COLD FRONT.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS SOUTHEAST OH THIS
MORNING...SPREADING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG DAMAGING
WINDS ALONG A SQUALL LINE. EXPECT MVFR/LIFR CONDITIONS ALONG ITS
PATH. CEILINGS WILL DETERIORATE BEHIND THE FRONT...AS WELL AS WIND
GUSTS EXPECTED TO INCREASE FROM 40 TO 50 KNOTS LATER TONIGHT FROM
06Z...SPREADING EAST THROUGH 12Z.
VERY COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND A SECOND COLD FRONT WILL TRANSITION
