AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1233 PM EST FRI FEB 14 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
CLIPPER PASSES THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WITH ACCUMULATING
SNOW...LINGERING INTO SATURDAY. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM BRINGS
MORE LIGHT SNOW SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
10AM UPDATE...RAISED HIGHS FOR TODAY WITH STRONG WAA...AND MAY
EVEN HAVE TO BUMP HIGHER. ALSO WORKING ON SLOWING DOWN POPS SOME
WITH THIS NEXT CLIPPER...OR AT LEAST TIGHTENING THE POP GRADIENT
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
04Z WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTING YESTERDAY/S STRONG SYSTEM
WINDING UP IMPRESSIVELY OVER THE DELMARVA PENINSULA AREA AND
SOUTHERN NJ AND CONTINUING TO MOVE RAPIDLY NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM
OUR AREA. ANOTHER S/W TROUGH SHOWING UP OVER INDIANA CURRENTLY
MOVING E/SE-WARD WHICH WILL PASS OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES BY THIS
MORNING WITH NO PRECIP. AS SUCH...REMOVED PREV SLIGHT POPS FOR THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS THIS MORNING. THE NEXT WEATHER MAKER FOR
PRIMARILY THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT IS STILL CURRENTLY WAY OUT WEST
OVER MONTANA. THIS SYSTEM WITH ITS ASSOCIATED SNOWFALL IS THE
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE NEAR TERM PERIOD.

TODAY...CURRENT W/NW FLOW ALOFT QUICKLY BACKS TO ZONAL THEN
SOUTHWEST AS THE AFOREMENTIONED S/W UPPER TROUGH QUICKLY MOVES
E/SE-WARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS WITH AXIS PROGGED TO BE NEAR
THE IL/IN BORDER BY 00Z SAT. AS IT DOES SO IT QUICKLY AMPLIFIES WITH
ITS ASSOC SFC LOW OUT AHEAD OF IT LOCATED SC KY / NC TENN REGION BY
SAME TIME. SOME LOW CLOUDS AROUND THE AREA THIS HOUR...BUT SOME OF
THE AREA MAY ACTUALLY SEE A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUN THIS MORNING BEFORE
THE CLOUDS QUICKLY ROLL BACK IN. MAX TEMPS A BIT TRICKY WITH THE
FRESH DEEP SNOWCOVER OVER MUCH OF WV AND VA AREAS. INCREASED TEMPS
JUST SLIGHTLY BUT LARGELY CONTINUED A GOOD BIT BELOW GUIDANCE AS
SUCH. EXPECT SOME UPPER 30S TO NEAR 40 FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
LOWLANDS...WITH TEMPS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND SE OHIO ZONES REMAINING
AT OR BELOW FREEZING. REGARDING PRECIP COVERAGE...NOT MUCH CHANGE
FROM PREV FCST WITH OVERALL THINKING BUT DID TIGHTEN UP THE POPS
JUST A LITTLE...BACKING OFF OF HIGHER POPS AT 18Z SOME BEFORE A
QUICK INCREASE ACROSS THE TRI-STATE AREA BY 21Z AND CATEGORICAL POPS
FOR THE SW ZONES BY 00Z SAT. EXPECT PRECIP INITIALLY ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN LOWLAND ZONES TO BEGIN AS RAIN BUT SHOULD
QUICKLY TRANSITION TO A RAIN/SNOW MIX THEN ALL SNOW WITH A DECENT
DEWPOINT DEPRESSION. TEMP PROFILES AND WBZ HEIGHTS ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTHERN ZONES INDICATE PRECIP REMAINING AS RAIN THROUGH 00Z SAT.

FRIDAY NIGHT THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS CONTINUES EAST AND IS LOCATED
JUST ABOUT OVER THE FORECAST AREA BY 12Z SAT. GOOD LARGE SCALE
FORCING FOR ASCENT OVERSPREADS THE AREA FROM W TO E OVERNIGHT AND IS
MAXIMIZED OVER THE SE ZONES BY 06Z SAT. BEST COMBO OF DYNAMICS AND
MESOSCALE LIFT APPEARS TO CROSS THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES
PRIMARILY. CONSENSUS OF QPF OUTPUT WOULD INDICATE A DECENT SWATH OF
0.25-0.35 OVER PARTS OF THE AREA. LATEST NAM12 IN FACT WITH SOME
HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE .40-.50IN AREA OVER THE CENTRAL WV
LOWLANDS...LEADING TO SOME CONCERN FOR SNOW AMOUNTS REACHING WARNING
CRITERIA. DO THINK THAT SOME OF THE PRECIP WILL FALL AS RAIN
FIRST...PARTICULARLY IN THE COALFIELDS...WHERE THE CHANGEOVER TO
SNOW DOESN/T TAKE PLACE UNTIL 00Z-03Z SAT.  AND WITH THE SYSTEM
BEING SUCH A QUICK-MOVER...SIDED WITH THE OVERALL CONSENSUS OF QPF
OUTPUT AND HAVE CODED UP A GENERAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW...WITH THE
HIGHER AXIS OF SNOW ACCUMS RUNNING ROUGHLY FROM THE TRI-STATE AREA
E/NE TOWARDS THE NICHOLAS/BRAXTON COUNTY AREAS WHERE THE BEST
OVERLAPPING OF SUFFICIENTLY COLD AIR AND HIGHER PRECIP AMOUNTS
CROSS. SOME LOWLANDS AREAS MAY SEE FOUR-INCH AMOUNTS...AND EXPECT
CLOSER TO 3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW IN THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS. TEMPS WILL
REMAIN UP JUST A BIT OVERNIGHT PRIOR TO THE FRONT...BUT THEN QUICKLY
FALL POST-FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
BY EARLY SATURDAY...THE AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EVIDENT IN
H5 CHARTS WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST...STILL SHOWING ITS INFLUENCE
OVER THE LOCAL REGION. WITH VORTICITY MAX CONTINUING PASSING
OVERHEAD...FIGURED PCPN WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST BY LATE
SATURDAY. LINGERING MOISTURE WILL FALL AS SNOW AS VERY COLD AIR
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT FILTERS IN. COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE
FRONT IS EVIDENT IN H85 LEVEL WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING FROM
MINUS 7C TO MINUS 14C EARLY SATURDAY.

THEREFORE...EXPECT ANOTHER EPISODE OF HEAVY WET SNOW...ALTHOUGH
SHORTER IN DURATION. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS INDICATE ALL SNOW...WITH
SATURATED DENDRITE GROWTH ZONE BY 12Z SATURDAY. MOISTURE BECOMES
LIMITED AFTER FROPA DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

FLOW TURNS FROM THE NORTHWEST...IDEAL TO PRODUCE LIGHT UPSLOPE
SNOW DUE TO LIMITED MOISTURE THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.

HOWEVER...YET ANOTHER CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
THE AREA LATER SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...PROVIDING YET ANOTHER
ROUND OF LIGHT SNOWFALL. WITH LESS MOISTURE TO WORK ON...THIS
LATER SYSTEM WOULD PRODUCE LESS SNOW.

TWEAKED A BLENDED BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND GMOS FOR TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON THE GENERAL PATTERN CHANGE EVOLUTION THIS
PERIOD. THE PATTERN CHANGE BEGINS WITH MEAN TROUGHING DIGGING OVER
THE WEST CENTRAL U.S. AND A SOUTHEASTERN U.S. UPPER RIDGE TRYING TO
BUILD. THIS WILL PUT US IN A GENERAL WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
WITH FUTURE WEATHER SYSTEMS TRACKING TO THE NORTH OF OUR AREA. THIS
WILL ALLOW MOISTURE AND WARMER AIR TO BE TAPPED FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO AHEAD OF THESE SYSTEMS...WITH NOT MUCH COLD AIR BEHIND THESE
SYSTEMS. THUS.. LOOK FOR MOSTLY IF NOT ALL RAIN NEXT WEEK.

MODELS IDENTIFY 2 SYSTEMS AFFECTING OUR AREA...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE
THE NORMAL TIMING DIFFERENCES. MODEL CONSENSUS BRINGS ONE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ATTENDING FRONT ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT...BRINGING A BAND OF RAIN WITH IT. THE SPEED OF THE
SYSTEM WILL KEEP RAIN AMOUNTS ON THE LIGHTER SIDE. A STRONGER SYSTEM
COMES ALONG WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...WITH A BETTER CHANCE FOR
MORE RAIN. LOOK FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB THROUGH THE 40S EARLY
IN THE WEEK...INTO THE 50S AND POSSIBLY 60S BY NEXT THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CURRENTLY VFR ACROSS THE CWA...AS ANY LINGERING MVFR CIGS ACROSS
THE NORTH A NOW BEING PUSHED BACK NORTH AS SOUTHERLY WINDS PICK
UP. CLIPPER SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST...WITH HIGH CLOUDS
ALREADY CROSSING OHIO RIVER. WARM TEMPS IN PLACE WILL LEAD TO RAIN
INITIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH...WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX NORTH. THEN AS
COLDER AIR MOVES IN ALOFT...THE RAIN ZONE SHOULD SLOWLY SHRINK
INTO THE SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS...AND THEN DISSAPEAR LATE TONIGHT.
EXPECT IFR TO LIFR VIS AND CIG IN SNOW OVERNIGHT AS THE CLIPPER
SYSTEM PASSES. GUSTY SW WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL DECREASE THIS
EVENING AS THE SUN SETS...THEN BECOME GUSTY NW AS THE CLIPPER
PASSES.
