Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
637 AM EDT Tue Mar 13 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold upslope flow continues through Thursday, with upper level
disturbances, the strongest crossing tonight into Wednesday.
A warming trend is on tap for the upcoming weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 635 AM Tuesday...

Forecast on track.

As of 450 AM Tuesday...

Northern stream upper level low digging into the Great Lakes,
and a southern stream low moving northeast off the east coast,
dumbbell about each other, before nearly merging by 12Z
Wednesday. Meanwhile, a pair of short wave troughs, moving down
the back side of the northern stream low, cross this evening,
and overnight tonight. The second one is stronger, but both
track near the southern end of the forecast area. This places
the area on the cyclonic shear side of the jet, and southern
portions of the area under the strongest lift.

Upslope snow showers continue in and along the west slopes of
the mountains, enhanced this afternoon on diurnal heating
beneath falling heights, and then the short wave troughs
tonight. Also expect the radar will be dotted with snow showers
throughout the area this afternoon, and then bands of snow
showers occur across southern to central portions of the area
tonight, including out across the lowlands, with the help of a
Lake Michigan trajectory.

Snow squalls are also possible as the first short wave
approaches late today, with the heating of the day providing
added instability. Model snow squall parameters support the
potential for snow squalls with the the second short wave
overnight tonight as well, as well as generally in, and along
the western slopes of, the mountains, later today and tonight.

Temperatures needed little adjustment in light of the latest
near term guidance blends, with colder air on tap tonight. This,
with favorable dendritic growth, will support efficient snow
accumulation.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 255 AM Tuesday...

Exiting trough axis embedded in the closed low aloft reinforces
the cold air and upslope northwesterly flow snow showers for
the mountains. This feature, beginning in the last few
hours of the near term period and lasting into the short term,
will likely be the source of the best snow potential in the
pattern. One last surface trough rotates southward through the
region giving one last enhancement to the snow for the mountains
Wednesday night, and then the closed low finally kicks out to
the northeast. Temperatures remain well below normal.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 255 AM Tuesday...

Height recovery occurs, as well as 850mb temperature recovery,
heading into the end of the week with weak high pressure
influences briefly making an appearance. Another closed upper
low pushes into the Ohio Valley west to east, but will be
filling as it does so, along with its surface low counterpart.
POPs are representative of a decaying precipitation shield as it
enters our CWA. The next chances for precipitation come from
another low pressure system Monday.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 635 AM Tuesday...

Low level northwest upslope flow will continue through the
period, with gusty surface winds. This will bring stratocu that
will be MVFR at times at night, but the mixing layer will grow
deep enough by day for VFR ceilings. The upslope flow will also
lead to snow showers at times in, and just west of, the
mountains, with MVFR to IFR conditions.

The greatest coverage of snow showers will be this afternoon on
diurnal heating, and tonight, as an upper level disturbance
crosses. Snow showers could also affect the lowlands this
afternoon and night. The afternoon coverage will dot much of
the radar, while overnight coverage tonight is more likely to
set up in a band somewhere through central and southern WV.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of MVFR stratocu and snow showers
may vary. TAFs may need updated as individual snow showers or
bands develop. Gusty winds will tend to vary.
