What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 3, 7:49 PM EDT, 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 7:49 PM EDT, 26 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
749 PM EDT Tue Apr 3 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will push east across the area tonight. Strong
thunderstorms and heavy rain are possible with this cold front.
Another cold front pushes southeast later this week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 740 PM Tuesday...

Convection moving in a bit ahead of schedule with a convective
watch now in place for the next few hours. Secondary line still
expected behind this initial line.

As of 216 PM Tuesday...
Heavy rain from showers and thunderstorms tonight falling on
saturated ground could result in additional water problems
across portions of southeast Ohio as well as the northern
counties of West Virginia. With this in mind, issued another
Flash Flood Watch for this evening and tonight.

As of 200 PM Tuesday...
Latest radar mosaic shows area of showers and thunderstorms
that prevailed across much of our northern counties has begun to
move north. This trend is expected to continue and believe this
precip will exit our northern counties during the next few
hours.

Our attention then turns to our west where a line of showers
and storms has developed. These showers and storms are
associated with a cold front which should push across our area
tonight.

Expect these storms should begin to push into our far western
counties later this evening and then across the remainder of the
forecast area overnight. SPC has outlooked the western 90% of
our forecast area in some type of a severe threat. Some of our
far western zones are outlooked as an enhanced threat of severe
thunderstorms with decreasing severe threat as you move east.
Will not regurgitate SPC thinking in the most recent outlook.

In addition to severe threat tonight, some of these storms may
produce locally heavy rainfall which could cause some localized
flooding.

Some of the latest models suggest that precipitation associated
with the upper level system should continue across our northern
counties on Wednesday. So have hung onto PoPs a little longer
than what would occur with just the front.

Airmass across the northern mountain counties could become cold
enough on Wednesday for some light snow to fall. However, little
accumulation is anticipated at this time.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 300 PM Tuesday...

High pressure generally through the period with below normal
temperatures.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 300 pM Tuesday...

The trend north of the Friday night/Saturday system continues,
such that wintry impacts have shifted into our area. We will
continue to closely monitor this as the potential for
accumulating snow is increasing at least across a portion of the
area.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 740 PM Tuesday...

Convection has begun early across the area, and timing the
arrival at each site was challenging to say the least.
Amendments can be expected going forward as the activity
continues to move into the middle Ohio Valley. Brief IFR likely
as well as gusty winds to 40kts, possibly higher at times.
Visibilities likely not to be lower than VFR out of
precipitation as surface and low level winds will be fairly
gusty through the period, so do not expect mist/fog to set in
once the rain exits.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Low to Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of showers and storms will likely
differ than currently forecast.
