What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Mar 20, 4:16 AM EDT, 0 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 4:16 AM EDT, 0 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
416 AM EDT Tue Mar 20 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure system will bring unsettled weather to the region
into Thursday. High pressure takes control late week with
another low pressure system next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 345 AM Tuesday...

Surface low currently moving by south of the CWA, and you can start
to see the portion that will break off and park over the forecast
area over the next couple days in response to a couple upper level
systems.  First area of precip associated with this now moving
across the northern half of the forecast area, and down the
Appalachian spine. Dry slot already moving into the WV lowlands. Did
not go completely dry in this dry slot...instead maintaining slight
chance to low end chance POPs for any isolated to scattered
showers...such as the ones moving through eastern KY right now.

Still have a bit of wintry mix across the far northern mountains
early this morning so will leave current winter weather advisory in
place. Otherwise, for today expect rain across the forecast area.
The first upper level low passes quickly today and does not pull in
any significantly colder air.

Attention then turns to the second upper level low, which will
reinvigorate the surface feature tonight and pull in much colder
air. This will bring a transition from rain to snow this evening
into tonight....beginning first across SE Ohio and in the WV
mountains. Main concern with snow tonight is warmer boundary layer
and surface temperatures which will eat into snow accumulations at
first. But we also have a decent area of strong frontogenesis on the
N/E side of the surface low. This should drive a mesoscale type area
of heavier snow which may be able to overcome the less than ideal
low level temps. Even outside of this area, more synoptic level
forcing should still drive decent snowfall rates. Snow should be a
wetter, heavier snow with ratios starting out in the 5-10:1 range
and increasing to 10-15:1 late tonight. Have upgraded the winter
storm watch to a warning across generally the mountains. And
then converted the rest of the watch to a winter weather
advisory. Main concern is whether any mesoscale features could
push localized areas into warning criteria.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 325 AM Tuesday...

Snow will continue across the area on Wednesday as an upper
level low and surface low continue to wrap rounds of
precipitation across the region. Could be some heavier bands at
times on Wednesday, and current thinking is this will generally
be the case across the central mountains, and across Ohio, just
north of our CWA, but any sort of heavy bands are very difficult
to predict, and with the flip flopping of models over time,
leads to even less confidence in pinpointing heavier bands.
Overall, leaned towards WPC guidance with respect to snowfall
totals, which leans heavily on the NAM and SREF. There is a bit
of a concern as to how much snow will actually be able to
accumulate across our lowland counties on Wednesday, with models
suggesting boundary layer temperatures hovering around the 40
degree mark, or warmer. Elected to lower temperatures a bit
Wednesday afternoon from the blended guidance, but even with
doing that, still looking at minimal accumulations across much
of the lowland counties Wednesday afternoon, but with moderate
accumulations continuing across the mountains at times.

Precipitation will gradually taper off across the area Wednesday
evening as the low moves off to the east, with just some light
upslope snow showers lingering across the higher terrain through
early Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 330 AM Tuesday...

Overall dry through much of Friday with high pressure in
control. Weather becomes more unsettled from the weekend onward,
as a low pressure system, and multiple upper waves move through
the area. Precipitation could be heavy at times early next week
with Gulf moisture surging into the region.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 200 AM Tuesday...

An area of rain is lifting through the forecast area early this
morning. As upper and surface lows drift in today expect
ceilings to lower with MVFR area wide. Expect a decrease in
shower activity after this first area moves through, but then
will be on the increase again by late afternoon as better
forcing arrives. Rain will change over to snow tonight as
colder air arrives with MVFR to IFR expected.
