Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Charleston WV
300 PM EDT Fri Mar 23 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Another late winter storm Saturday. High pressure to end the
weekend and start the next work week with a warming trend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 PM Friday...

Another late winter storm, but different than the previous two while
creating the same sort of sensible forecasting issues.

The biggest issues are fighting low level warm air advection as
the precipitation begins as snow from the tri state area through
the Tug Fork Valley. The system is complicated in the sense that
the surface low and upper level wave are largely filling, but
the f-gen forcing is holding strong while this is happening.
This gives concerns to banded snow occurring once again, but
without the benefit of cold air generation of a digging upper
level low/dynamic cooling. The NAM is definitely more aggressive
with the snow potential and the lower levels of the atmosphere
staying colder through the process. Then the temperatures will
slowly edge above freezing Saturday which will make snow
accumulations more difficult. Have a higher confidence for the
snow amounts in the far western zones where the snow will begin
a bit earlier and the colder air is in place. Further to the
south and east, locations not in the mountains such as the coal
fields will see snow accumulate in the stronger bands, but will
be fighting some melting along the way with the later start time
and weak advection. Late afternoon snow accumulations will be
most prolific in the mountains where temperatures are closer to
freezing.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT/...
As of 420 AM Friday...

Models showing a low pressure system moving south of the area
Saturday and Saturday night. Most models have shifted southward
from last night, although meso NAM remains with heavier
precipitation further north. Models also differ considerably
with the warm tongue aloft. Nam is furtherest north with the
warm air with other models further south. A third area of
concern is boundary layer temperatures. MOS guidance continues
to show lowland temperatures in the mid to upper 30s (or even
lower 40s), during the heavier precipitation. With all this
uncertainty, will only issue a winter storm watch in the higher
elevations of eastern Raleigh and Fayette counties where
confidence is highest. North of this area, many models do not
give enough QPF for warning criteria snows.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 420 AM Friday...

A high pressure system will build in for the end of the weekend
and the beginning of the next work week. As the high slides off
to the east milder temperatures can be expected across the area.

A southerly flow will allow moisture to move northward into the
area by mid week as a front approaches from the west. Models are
in general agreement with the pattern, but vary in the details. By
Thursday night, the front should push through the region.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 120 PM Friday...

Expect some stratocu development, VFR, over the northeast
terminals later this evening and tonight. Otherwise, cirrus
expands from southwest to northeast, and the ceilings will
steadily lower through the back end of the forecast with
rain/snow development from HTS to BKW. Ceilings and visibilities
will degrade in the last 4 hours of the forecast for both
terminals as precipitation sets in and the lower levels
saturate.

Wind gusts have increased this afternoon and have adjusted those
accordingly. Will decrease with sunset and decoupling of the
boundary layer.
