What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 22, 8:21 AM EST, 8 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 22, 8:21 AM EST, 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
821 AM EST Thu Feb 22 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front stalled across the south this morning, meanders
through the end of the week, as surface waves pass. Areas of
significant rainfall possible into the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 820 AM Thursday...

Added fog and drizzle for this morning near the front, and
adjusted temperatures and dew points a bit for the associated
sharp baroclinic zone across the area.

As of 600 AM Thursday...

Light to moderate rainfall continues across SE Ohio, amounts are
getting into the 0.5-0.75 range. This precip is gradually
shifting north...a trend which should continue until the surface
wave starts moving across and pulling the precip shield eastward
with it.

As of 100 AM Thursday...

Surface boundary currently stalled out across southern coal
fields and southern mountains, with a surface wave beginning to
move out of the lower Mississippi Valley. Also have 500mb
shortwave trough coming out of the southern plains. All of this
is resulting in an area of precipitation stretching from Texas
into the middle Ohio River Valley. High res models seem to have
a decent handle on this, so used a blend of HRRR and NAMNest to
tighten up POP gradients. Through this morning, have an area of
100 POPs developing across SE Ohio as the surface wave
approaches and nudges the front back to the NW. As the surface
wave passes, have the higher POPs crossing the Ohio River and
gradually decreasing as the front drifts back to the SE -- away
from the better mid and upper level support -- and stalls in or near
the SE corner of the forecast area. Have 0.5-0.75 inches of rain
with the wave today, mainly along and NW of the Ohio River. Plan
to keep an eye on new data as it rolls in this early this
morning to help decide if the flood watch need to be moved
earlier -- but with the current QPF think we can handle this
first wave with no significant issues and have not changes the
watch timing.

The next surface wave in the train approaches tonight, with a
similar trend of pushing the surface boundary back north. Have
an area of high chance POPs along the front tonight. Opted to
not go likely at this time due to lack of mid and upper level
support, anticipating scattered showers.

Temperatures through the period are very tricky, as the surface
boundary provides a rather sharp gradient. Used a blend of high
res models on the hourly temps trying to capture its meandering
over the next 24 hours. However this leads to rather low
confidence, as a 20 mile change in the boundary position will
result in up to 10-15 degrees difference in temperatures at any
given spot. In general terms... it will be very mild across the
SE with highs today near 70, but much of SE Ohio and NE Kentucky
will struggle to bump above 50.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 200 AM Thursday...

Frontal boundary lifts back north Friday with additional waves
moving along the front, enhancing precipitation, particularly
across northern zones where flood watch is in place. The front
will sag south, and waffle around the area in vicinity of Ohio
River late Friday into Saturday, before finally lifting back
north again late Saturday, as a strong low pressure system moves
northeast out of the southern plains. Good southwesterly
flow/llj/moisture tap from Gulf, with PW values rising to over
1.4 inches. Time period of greatest precipitation looks to be
Saturday night/early Sunday, with a general inch and a half of
qpf, if not more in spots. Drying trend gradually takes place on
Sunday, as high pressure builds in behind departing cold front.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 210 AM Thursday...
High pressure in control during the period with dry and mild
conditions.

&&

.AVIATION /13Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 600 AM Thursday...

Not a good day for non-instrument flight as low MVFR and IFR
conditions are expected across most of the forecast area through
the TAF period. A surface wave will move through today, with
rain showers. These are already in place across much of SE Ohio,
and will remain along and west of the Ohio River early this
morning before shifting eastward later this morning into this
afternoon. Winds are mostly out of the N to NE currently, but as
the wave passes winds will vary quite a bit from place to
place. Expect IFR stratus and rain/fog again tonight with a
surface boundary stalled in the region.
