26What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this areal 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 areal flood warning went out at Feb 28, 9:31 AM EST, 1 hour 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 28, 9:31 AM EST, 1 hour 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
931 AM EST Sun Feb 28 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
Periods of moderate to heavy rain today and tonight. Cold front
exiting Monday morning brings drier conditions for the start of
the work week. Low pressure passes south Wednesday morning.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 930 AM Sunday...
Minor adjustments to PoPs were made this morning, but the
general trend remains of brief lulls in rain plausible during
the day before the more prolonged rainfall arrives tonight. A
few areal flood warnings have gone into effect today as rainfall
totals top out between 1.5-2 inches in portions of our western
areas. Multiple reports across the Kanawha Valley have been
relayed to the office this morning of flooded roadways, so
continue to heed caution if going out and about today.
As of 330 AM Sunday...
Made some updates to QPF based on latest WPC guidance to
maintain a more consistent forecast picture with the outlooked
moderate risk of excessive rainfall. This reflects more
potential overlap between multiple rain swaths this morning and
this afternoon, mainly along and north the I-64/79 corridor.
Rapid update guidance dprog/dt trends continue to suggest the
axis of heaviest rainfall totals could shift even father north.
Additional changes are possible this morning if these trends
continue.
As of 130 AM Sunday...
Moderate to heavy rainfall will work its way north through the mid
to late morning hours supported by low level convergence at the nose
of a strengthening H850 jet down low and the fringes of the right
entrance region of a 150KT H300 jet streak across the Great Lakes.
Modest elevated instability of 200-400j/kg this morning will
likely yield at least some embedded thunder. It is possible for
a few storms to become surface based along the southern fringe
of the precipitation shield this afternoon where surface
temperatures could reach the mid 60s. Given the presence of
large looping low level hodographs, MLCAPE values of 300-400j/kg
and a near saturated column will have a non-zero risk of a
brief spin-up along this effective boundary, should any storms
be able to become attached to it. Based on current guidance, the
most likely area for this to occur is NE KY eastward into the
Metro Valley.
As favorable jet dynamics begin to shift northeast this afternoon
into this evening and resultant H850 response weakens slightly,
effective warm front will stall in the vicinity of the Ohio River
with some tempering of rainfall rates expected. Frontolysis of this
feature is expected as support is lost, however lingering juicy low
level moisture will eventually be squeezed out by a cold front
approaching during the late overnight.
Another jet streak is expected to move into a favorable position for
forcing for ascent and resultant low level response by late this
evening yielding a second effective warm front, roughly bisecting
the region from west to east. This is expected to provide a renewed
focus for banded moderate to heavy precipitation slowly working
south as the jet streak shifts southeast. The big forecast question
is, how much of this area of rainfall will overlap the higher
precipitation totals from earlier in the day that will significantly
compromise moisture holding ability of the soil.
Finally, the aforementioned cold front sweeps through during the late
overnight into Monday morning yielding yet another area of moderate
precipitation. This should be a bit more progressive than the
previous two areas, however, given potential antecedent soil
moisture will likely cause some additional issues over the Lowlands.
In the mountains where upslope is maximized with this feature, could
see some more significant issues on the tail end of the event,
although this again will largely be contingent on what falls today.
Event total rainfall (inclusive of what fell yesterday) forecast has
not changed much, generally 1 to 1.5 inches across SE OH, 2 to 3
inches across central WV and 2.5 to 4 inches across SW VA and S WV.
These values should be reasonably representative of basin averages,
with locally higher values in the vicinity of the aforementioned warm
fronts and lesser values away from these features. Local impacts to
smaller creeks, streams as well as any high water trouble spots will
be highly contingent on the ultimate position of these more
significant swaths of heavy rainfall, while larger water bodies
should see a little more predictable response.
In addition to high water impacts, given the time of year with
weakened ground cover and a winter long freeze/thaw cycle, mud
slides as well as rock slides will be possible in any steeper
terrain with heavier rainfall.

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 240 AM Sunday...
Cold front and upper level short wave trough exit first thing
Monday morning, taking the moderate to heavy rain with it, with
little additional accumulation. Stratus/stratocu beneath the
frontal inversion will mix out from northwest to southeast
Monday midday and afternoon, as much drier air arrives. Even
drier air arrives behind a reinforcing moisture starved cold
front that crosses Monday night.
High pressure crosses Tuesday. After providing a cold start amid
clear, nearly calm conditions by dawn Tuesday, the strengthening
early March sun will take advantage of a lowering subsidence
inversion to take temperatures back up into the 40s for
afternoon highs.
Clouds increase Tuesday night, ahead of a southern stream
closed low that tracks south of the area Wednesday morning.
Models are still diverged on how far north precipitation sneaks
Wednesday morning, before exiting to the east by afternoon.
The column starts out cold enough for snow overnight Tuesday
night, but with surface temperatures climbing above freezing
Wednesday morning, any snow will become a wet, non-accumulating
snow and, ultimately, rain, from south to north, before ending
from west to east by Wednesday afternoon.
Temperatures close to central guidance, except a bit lower in
the valleys Tuesday morning, and otherwise a little below normal.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 240 AM Saturday...
A northern stream short wave trough drops a reinforcing
moisture starved cold front through the area Wednesday night,
as the short wave drops into a long wave trough position along
the east coast. Arctic high pressure then builds toward the
area, but the arctic air mass will have time to be modified
under the strengthening early March sun, as it takes until at
least Sunday for the high to settle in over the area. With
another southern stream low opening up as it passes south of the
area Friday night into Saturday, shunted south by the
aforementioned northern stream troughing, a period of dry, quiet
weather appears to be on tap for the latter portion of the
upcoming week.
Central guidance temperatures accepted, which reflect near
normal temperatures to start out, before dropping back below
normal as the high of arctic origin builds toward the area.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 620 AM Sunday...
Moderate to heavy rainfall lifts north through late morning,
weakens slightly this afternoon and migrates back to the south late
this afternoon into the overnight. Highly variable conditions are
expected at the terminals with this activity with embedded heavier
cells reducing visibility to near 1 mile at times. In addition, any
brief lulls in precipitation likely fill in with fog or low stratus,
especially through the mid morning hours - CRW and HTS will be the
most vulnerable to this sitting on the edge of the heavier
precipitation this morning. BKW will be the major exception with
only light showers this morning and a mainly dry afternoon with any
additional heavier rain holding off until this evening.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY...
FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Low to medium.
ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Ceilings likely waver significantly during
periods of moderate to heavy rain. Terminals near the edge of
precipitation may be in and out of fog.
