Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
1209 PM EST Wed Dec 14 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front crosses tonight, followed by very cold weather Thursday
and Friday. Storm system this weekend starts as wintry mix, then
becomes all rain. Colder again to start next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1200 PM Wednesday...

Delayed onset of mountain snow showers with arrival of cold front
this evening by a couple of hours. Otherwise forecast on track.

As of 600 AM Wednesday...

Forecast on track...no changes necessary though will mention did
have a brief spout of fzra at Beckley as front passed through.

As of 140 AM Wednesday...

Only a few lingering snow showers out there as high pressure
builds. A cold front crosses the area tonight bringing a marked
drop in temperatures with lows falling into the single digits in
our Ohio counties.

Upslope forcing will likely kick off some snow showers in the
mountains and these may extend as far west as Charleston, but
accumulating snow should be light as not much moisture accompanies
the dry air associated with the cold front.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 AM Wednesday...

Main story for the short term period continues to be the frigid
cold. 850MB temps bottom out Thursday afternoon...a degree or two
either side of -20C. This should lead to afternoon highs in the
teens for most with single digits at higher elevations. Winds
across the lowland should be real strong, but gusty winds across
the ridges of the northern mountainous counties will lead to wind
chill values of -10F to -20F. This will likely require wind chill
advisories for the high terrain zones in Pocahontas and Randolph
counties. Will continue mention in HWO.

Precip wise, have some lingering isolated to scattered snow
showers across the mountains early Thursday as the coldest air
filters in and squeezes out some flakes. Not a whole lot of
moisture with this, but enough to go with some light accumulations
along the ridges through the morning. Clouds will be on the
increase Friday as moisture begins to return. Do have some low end
POPs returning to mainly SE Ohio late Friday afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 315 AM Wednesday...

Fairly complex scenario setting up Friday night into Saturday. As
a surface low sweeps from the Central Rockies into the lower Ohio
River Valley, we will see strong warm air advection kick in Friday
night. Precip will also be on the increase during this time frame.
Initially, temperatures aloft will warm faster than at the
surface leading to wintry precipitation to start with. Exact
precip type will depend on how quickly it warms up aloft, and then
how long it takes the surface temperatures to catch up. Some wet
bulbing initially will also have an impact. So with all this in
mind, have a gradual south to north transition from snow/sleet to
freezing rain and then rain. Pretty much everyone will have the
chance to see at least some freezing rain, so anticipate winter
weather headlines will be needed. Could even get some quick
accumulations of snow and sleet across the northern half of the
CWA before the freezing rain. Will continue mention in the HWO.

Temperatures will warm pretty quickly Saturday, with a transition
to all rain. Wintry precip will hang on the longest across the
eastern slopes where cold air damming will linger under SE flow
until Saturday afternoon.

A cold front will surge through Saturday night with rain. Have
high POPs transitioning across the forecast area from west to east.
Cold air begins to filter in behind the front, which should change
the rain back to snow. Some snow accumulations are possible across
much of the forecast area Sunday before the moisture thins out and
snow showers taper off from west to east through the afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 1200 PM Wednesday...

The last of the MVFR stratocu was breaking up early this
afternoon.

After the brief afternoon interlude of VFR flight conditions, a
cold front crossing this evening will bring the return of MVFR
stratocu. This will be brief out across the lowlands, or not even
occur at all along the Ohio River. Snow showers are possible in
the mountains overnight, with flurries over the lowlands, mainly
east of the Ohio River, in the arriving arctic air.

Snow showers, flurries and clouds will break up Friday morning as
very dry air moves in.

Light and variable surface winds this afternoon will strengthen
and become gusty from the west to northwest overnight and remain
so on Friday, as the arctic air moves in. Moderate west flow aloft
will veer to moderate northwest tonight and remain so on Friday.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium to high.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of MVFR ceiling may vary into Friday
morning, with brief IFR ceilings possible in the mountains
tonight. Visibilities may be lower and more persistent in the
mountains tonight into Friday morning. Gusty winds will vary.
