What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Feb 12, 10:14 AM EST, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 10:14 AM EST, 1 hour 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
National Weather Service Charleston WV
1014 AM EST Tue Feb 12 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front crosses today with heavy rain and some snow showers
behind the front, especially in he northeast mountains. Another
cold front Friday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 1011 AM Tuesday...

Will allow Winter Weather Adv to expire at 11 AM. Area webcams
and reports indicate that several areas received significant ice
accumulations overnight/this morning, but temps are gradually
warming to around/above freezing...and should continue to slowly
warm through the morning.

Also lowered max temps for southeast Raleigh county as some cold
air remains compressed across that area.

Increased wind speeds some for tonight and Wed for expected
cold air advection. The issuance of a Wind Advisory may be
required with the upcoming main afternoon forecast package.

As of 328 AM Tuesday...

Stationary front draped over the Ohio Valley this morning with
moist SW return flow parallel with the front. Short wave moves
in from the southwest this morning and will enhance lift/heavy
rainfall across NE Kentucky through SE Ohio and Western WV.
Flood watch remains in effect and water issues appear likely as
streams/rivers continue running high.

Will also leave out winter weather advisory across the NE
mountains for now, as temperatures hover around or just below
freezing and some pockets of icing is likely occurring, but this
should not be much of an issue with ice accretion of less than
a tenth of an inch.

By this evening, negatively tilted trough tracks into Southern
Ontario with surface low tracking across the Great Lakes and
dragging a cold front through the region tonight. CAA rapidly
takes control behind the front, with rain showers turning over
to snow late tonight. Forecast soundings show decent low level
instability across the Northern CWA and the available moisture
should still be deep enough for possibly some heavier snow
showers to develop. Further south, as you get to the I64
corridor, moisture may be too shallow for any significant snow
shower activity, so for now, have kept accumulating snow across
the Northern half of the CWA, but generally only an inch or less
with higher amounts in the Northeast Mountains.

Finally, will have to watch of for a possible wind advisory in
the mountains with the CAA. Across the Lowlands we should be ok,
with gusts up to 35 mph, however, may see a few power outages
crop up due to the very wet grounds. In the higher elevations
gusts could be as high as 45 to 50 mph and a wind advisory may
be needed. Will highlight in the HWO for now.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 215 AM Tuesday...

Cold air advection and upslope flow will provide some snow
showers on Wednesday. Have increased pops in the northern
mountains for this event, where a couple of inches of snow are
possible. Also with momentum transfer, have some concern for
strong wind gusts in the higher elevations on Wednesday. May
eventually need a wind advisory.

Another system will push moisture into the area with showers Thursday
night and Friday. A cold front will then push through on Friday.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 215 AM Tuesday...

Models then diverge considerably for Saturday through Monday.
Most models have several waves, but timing and details vary
considerably. Several models would suggest a mixed precipitation
event Friday night or Saturday, but confidence during this
period is low.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 640 AM Tuesday...

Moderate to heavy rain will push from west to east through the
day as a cold front pushes into the region. Conditions will
likely be highly variable today, however at BKW expecting mostly
IFR Ceilings to prevail due to strong SE upslope flow. Behind
the front, there will a transition from rain to snow tonight and
any snow showers that go over TAF sites will cause restrictions
and will have to handle with amendments.

LLWS is also going to be an issue through the morning for CRW,
HTS and PKB this morning. Near the mountains, and up to CKB the
low level wind flow is weaker, so left out of the TAFs for now.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Conditions are likely to vary in in areas
of heavier rain.
