Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
1221 AM EST Sat Feb 17 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure builds in behind the front overnight. Next low
pressure system late Saturday/Saturday night. High pressure
Sunday. Warm front Monday, and then a cold front midweek.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
As of 940 PM Friday...

Flood watch issued for SW VA where the highest QPF associated
with low pressure passing south of the area Saturday and
Saturday night is expected. The system exiting tonight pulls in
enough cold air for snow accumulation over the higher terrain
with the new system Saturday afternoon and night, and a winter
weather advisory is issued there for snow and sleet, ending as
freezing drizzle early Sunday morning, as we lose ice crystals
in cloud. Thanks to neighboring offices for collaboration on
these.

As of 715 PM Friday...

Forecast on track save for minor adjustments on PoP to fine tune
exodus of precipitation this evening. Flash flood watch allowed
to expire.

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 /TONIGHT 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 /05Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 1220 AM Saturday...

Weak cold air advection taking place over moisture laden
surface. This leads to generally MVFR conditions with isolated
IFR through early Saturday. Gradients strong enough to mostly
keep conditions as a stratcu deck, the exception being mountain
sites. High pressure passes tonight and another low pressure
system moves in for Saturday.

Will see recovery to VFR conditions Saturday morning. However,
precipitation will be moving in with widespread MVFR ceilings
and visibility values with southwesterly flow.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Low in eastern mountains. Medium elsewhere.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Clearing and subsequent fog formation
overnight may vary. Onset of deteriorating conditions in rain
Saturday may vary.
