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 7, 7:15 PM EST, 1 hour 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 7, 7:15 PM EST, 1 hour 56 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Charleston WV 715 PM EST Thu Feb 7 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Strong cold front arrives tonight bringing cold high pressure this weekend. Unsettled zonal pattern returns late Sunday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 130 PM... Showers and thunderstorms ongoing in the Ohio River Valley. Extended the Flood Watch through the night with an additional 0.5 to 0.75 inches of rain expected. The showers move north of the region by late evening with winds steadily picking up ahead of a cold front expected tonight. As the low pressure system to the northwest moves towards the Great Lakes its associated cold front sweeps southeast across the area overnight. Look for about an 0.25 to 0.5 inches of rain and gusty winds (anywhere from 25-40mph). Winds start to slowly decrease into the predawn hours and should continue thereafter. By early morning we will be in the cold sector behind the front where temperatures become non diurnal. From that point on temperatures will keep decreasing through Friday with a blustery day. There will be some snow flakes in the mountains before the clouds disappear, however little to no accumulations are expected. By Friday late afternoon skies become mostly clear and lows drop down to the teens overnight with possible single digits in the highest elevations. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 215 PM Thursday... Cold through Saturday night as high pressure settles in over the southern Great Lakes. Very few changes made for this quiet portion of the forecast. Heights aloft and lower level temperatures begins recovering into Saturday night in zonal flow. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 215 PM Thursday... With the pattern aloft becoming zonal and a baroclinic zone setting up just south of the Ohio Valley, another unsettled/wet period returns to the region. Will be in and out of precipitation late Sunday through Tuesday, where the front end could be snow/wintry mix Sunday night in weak overrunning along the stationary boundary. Beyond that, mainly rain expected. Cold front Tuesday, with another temperature drop into the middle of the week. && .AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 710 PM Thursday... Rain showers associated with a strong cold front will move across the region from west to east this evening. As showers move across the area tonight, reductions in both Cigs and Vsbys is anticipated. Expecting primarily MVFR conditions to develop with this activity, but brief periods of IFR conditions will not be out of the question as heavier pockets of rain would bring a greater reduction to Vsbys. Thus, have elected to keep any IFR out of the TAFs tonight as confidence is low on exactly where this could occur, but will monitor observations closely tonight and amend if necessary. Another concern for tonight will be strong wind gusts throughout the region. As the cold front crosses tonight, WNW winds could gust as high as 30 kts across the lowlands and possibly 40+ kts in the mountains. Wind gusts should remain fairly breezy into Friday with 20+ kts in the lowlands and 35+ kts in the mountains. Precipitation will continue in the mountains Friday morning and with colder air rushing into the area overnight, expecting a transition to snow showers by Friday morning. As a result, have mentioned snow showers in the TAFs at EKN by Friday morning with possible IFR conditions developing during this time. Conditions will then improve to VFR area-wide by Friday afternoon as high pressure builds in from the northwest. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z SATURDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium. ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: If heavier pockets of rain impact the area tonight, brief periods of IFR will be possible.
