Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
321 AM EST Wed Jan 3 2018
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure today. Cold front tonight followed by more arctic
air. Warming up early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 310 AM Wednesday...
High pressure will provide dry weather today although some mid
to high clouds from the southeastern low will effect portions of
the area. Will go a bit below MOS guidance highs in the eastern
counties due to these clouds.
The arctic air mass will push back in tonight. With -18 to -19 C
850 mb temperatures, some light snow or flurries are possible
late tonight. With the upslope flow, ran the highest pops in the
northern mountains of WV.
The cold air tonight combined with the wind will also create low
wind chills in the higher elevations of the northern mountains.
Will issue an advisory for later tonight and Thursday. As winds
pick up late Thursday, wind chills are expected to reach below
minus 25 F in the higher elevations and continue through
Saturday morning. Will issue a wind chill watch for these
periods.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
As of 220 PM Tuesday...
Period starts dry, but that does not last long as another shot
of Arctic air arrives Wednesday night into Thursday. Initially,
the bulk of the low level moisture looks to get sucked into the
bombing surface low off the east coast, but a decent upper
level trough should still give us snow showers or flurries
starting early Thursday morning. As flow turns NW, we do get
some moisture streaming off of Lake Michigan, Thursday into
Thursday night, with minor accumulations across the lowlands and
up to 3 or 4 inches in the WV mountains. With 850mb temps
dropping into the -20s C there could be a period where the
atmosphere becomes autoconvective Thursday which could lead to
at least bands of slightly higher snow accumulations. As cold
air advection continues, periods of light snow showers or
flurries should last into Friday, tapering off from west to east
Friday into Friday night.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 220 PM Thursday...
Brief high pressure crosses for the start of the weekend, with
continued cold weather. As it heads east, we finally get some
warming flow kicking in Sunday into Sunday night as a surface
low comes off the Rockies and crosses the southern plains. This
will also begin to pump moisture into the region, with POPs on
the increase Sunday into Monday. Depending how quickly the warm
air arrives, we could see a period of wintry mix initially,
before changing over to all rain. With the prolonged cold
temperatures, the ground will take a while to warm up -- likely
longer than the air -- which could lead to some light icing.
However, this far out confidence is still rather low on how the
pattern will change. Despite that lower confidence, still went
with a non-diurnal temperature trend Sunday night. While we will
get a brief warm up Monday, cold air will rush back in behind
the surface low changing rain over snow Monday night into
Tuesday.
