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 Jan 8, 2:51 PM EST, 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 8, 2:51 PM EST, 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
251 PM EST Tue Jan 8 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Strong cold front tonight with chances of snow and possible
snow squalls Wednesday into Thursday...with heavy snow in the
mountains. More snow possible this weekend as low pressure
passes to the south.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 221 PM Tuesday...

Southwest flow continues as of writing but should become more
westerly by late afternoon as a cold front slides across.
Scattered showers may occur along the front late this afternoon,
with a rumble or two possible...can't even rule out some small
hail with the strongest cells. The primary surge of CAA should
then kick in around sunset with a period of strong winds
expected late afternoon and early this evening. It should not
take much for these winds to mix to the surface and a few hours
of gusts of 40 to 50 mph are expected. By late evening, most of
the precip should be confined to the NE CWA where the greatest
lift is prog to be located. Overnight, large scale lift
increases as a strong upper level strong advects across and the
llvl flow becomes more northwesterly. This will begin to promote
the development of upslope flow across the NE CWA.

During the day Wednesday, northwest flow in the lower levels
will promote an increase in moisture fetch from the Great Lakes
in the sfc-H7 layer. This nearly saturated layer, combined with
a rather persistent signal from guidance that steep lapse rates
in the lowest couple hundred mb will exist, should result in
the best chance of snow squalls we have experienced so far this
winter season. The best chance of snow squalls (they bring
locally heavy busts of snow, brief gusty winds, and reduced
visibility) should occur from primarily sunrise through early
afternoon before lapse rates weaken in the afternoon. Despite
the chances for snow squalls lessening in the afternoon,
steadier light snow should develop in the afternoon as the
northwest/upslope flow persists. All in all, have issued a
Winter Weather Advisory for the lowlands/eastern mountains for
Wednesday to account for possibility of snow squalls and then
steadier light snow in the afternoon. The Winter Storm Watch has
been upgraded to a Warning for the NE mountains.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 215 PM Tuesday...

Northwest flow continues from the near term, thus continuing upslope
snow showers in the north/central WV mountains along with a few
lowland showers. Robust cold convection continues as well dropping
Thursday morning low temperatures into the single digits in the
mountains to near 20 in the lowlands. The upper level trough
responsible for the prolonged upslope event shifts off to the
East and high pressure builds into the Great Lakes Thursday,
increasing the northerly component to low-level winds locally.
The result here is a few upslope snow showers spreading South
into the southern WV mountains and SW VA while the lowlands
clear out.

Upsloping winds start to relax later Thursday night, and
moisture wanes, bringing mountain snow showers to an end. There
is uncertainty with how long we'll be able to squeeze out
remaining LL moisture, so a few flakes may linger into early
Friday. Additional snowfall amounts from Wednesday night onward
will be in the 3-5" along high ridges and mountains, tapering to
around an inch near the 79 corridor down through southern WV
and SWVA.

A pattern shift starts Friday with cold advection ending first
aloft, and eventually at the surface - but not before another
especially cold morning with clearing conditions and calming
winds lending to effective radiational cooling. Lows Friday
morning will be in the single digit (mountains) to upper-teens
(lowlands). High pressure traverses the Great Lakes region
Friday with warm return flow taking hold locally, rounding out
the work week. Upper level clouds start moving from the West in
late in the period ahead of the next system.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 250 PM Tuesday...

Southern stream energy will be advancing eastward across the
southern US to start the long term period with a surface low
centered in southeastern TX on Saturday morning. Recent trends have
indicated that models have more agreement in the track that the
surface low will take further into the weekend. At this point,
expecting that the low pressure system will move south of the
forecast area and emerge off the Carolina coast by Sunday morning.
This type of track would of course be more favorable for keeping
colder air in place and increase the opportunity of more of a wintry
ptype, but there is increasing concern that a warm wedge situation
may develop across the lowlands due to the inverted trough extending
into the region. This feature may be just enough to keep
temperatures warm enough and perhaps favor a rain/snow mix scenario,
especially in the southern Coalfields. While considerable
uncertainty still remains with this system, it is certainly possible
that accumulating snow could occur given upstream forcing and the
cold antecedent conditions, but confidence is too low to get into
details regarding precipitation amounts. Thinking the best approach
to this is to leave a consenus blend of POPs for this forecast
issuance until forecast confidence increases with future model runs.

Scattered snow showers could linger in the mountains Monday morning,
but will gradually decrease in coverage as an expansive area of high
pressure in the central Plains begins to build into the region from
the west.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1231 PM Tuesday...

VFR to prevail this afternoon. Sfc winds will be primary weather
threat for the first half of the TAF period as winds strengthen
this afternoon, and peak early evening, as a cold front moves
across. Gusts to 30+ kts may occur late afternoon and early
evening. Few scattered showers will be possible this afternoon
before ending early evening. Temps will then fall tonight
through Wed with additional precip developing late evening and
overnight. -SHRA should gradually switch to -SHSN late tonight
and continue through Wed. CIGs may lower to low end MVFR once
steadier precip kicks in late tonight/Wed.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of precip this afternoon may vary.
Coverage of snow on Wed may vary and may be greater than
indicated. Snow squalls may occur in the morning (rapidly
