Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
315 PM EST Fri Feb 16 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure builds in behind the front through tonight. Next
low pressure system late Saturday/Saturday night. High pressure
Sunday. Warm front Monday with a cold front midweek.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM Friday...

Radar images show that the bulk of pcpn associated with a
passing front will concentrate along the eastern mountains this
evening, before exiting east.

A high pressure builds from the west to provide dry weather
conditions tonight. However, another southern stream system will
move just south of the area Saturday afternoon to bring more
pcpn mainly across the southern portions of our CWA. Models
agreed in the onset of pcpn starting from our VA counties, north
into WV from 12Z through 22Z. Will have to monitor conditions
closely as soils remain saturated, streams are running high and
additional rainfall could pose a threat for additional flooding.

In addition, cold air could stay trapped along the western
slopes and protected hollows and spots. Even though there will
be warm advection under south to southwest flow, periods of FZRA
could be possible mainly over the northeast mountains. However,
confidence runs low for these conditions and decided to kick
the can to the next shift that could revise new guidance.

Temperatures will drop into the upper 20s northern half and to
the lower 30s southern half tonight. Used the consensus MOS
guidance for temperatures through the period.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 220 PM Friday...

Wintry mix to eventually snow will continue in the Northern
Mountains through early Sunday morning. An additional inch of
snow will be possible, but confidence is low still on possible
icing as latest forecast soundings support more of a snow/sleet
mix. If there is a period of freezing rain Saturday night, ice
accumulations will be less than a tenth of an inch.

High pressure moves through Sunday, with any lingering
precipitation tapering off early before sunrise. Overall, it
will be mostly dry through the day with warm air advection
starting to pour into the area once again. This will help temps
climb back into the 50s through the day. Rainfall chances will
increase again overnight with the passing of a warm front.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 230 PM Friday...

Warm front crossing the area into Monday morning and rain is
expected once again. However, models are now in much better
agreement, keeping heavier rainfall off to our west. Very warm
and dry conditions expected now for Tuesday, but showers may
start to enter SE Ohio by early Tuesday evening. Temperatures
will feel a lot like summer, with highs possibly topping 80
degrees for much of the Southern Forecast Area.

Other than some slight timing differences, models bring our
next chance for rain mid week as a cold front passes Wednesday
into Thursday. Once again we will have to watch for the
possibility of flooding, as really any rainfall at this point
looks problematic. This will be especially true if the front
stalls over the area through the end of the week, as some
guidance is now suggesting.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 210 PM Friday...

A cold front moves east of the mountains this evening, taking a
large area of rain showers and associated IFR conditions across
central and southern sites through this evening.

However, low level stratus behind the front could deteriorate
conditions once again tonight. With the antecedent pcpn and the
possibility of clearing from west to east, a low level stratus
deck if favored to develop across the area. IFR ceilings are
expected during this time period.
