AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
307 AM EDT Tue Apr 20 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front along the Ohio River shifts north today. Strong cold
front then blasts across the entire area tonight. High pressure
late week, followed by rain sometime this weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 230 AM Tuesday...

A cold front was drifting SE into our far northwest CWA, as of
writing, and should continue to sag southward through roughly
mid to late morning...before stalling along or just south of
the Ohio River. Sfc low pressure riding northeast along the
front this afternoon will help bulge the front back northward as
warm SSW low level flow then develops and allows for modest
moisture influx to occur throughout the region. Areas along and
east of the Appalachian spine may get clipped this afternoon by
a H5 s/w trough advecting northeast towards the Mid-Atlantic. If
enough moisture advection can occur before the s/w trough
advects through, then isolated to widely scattered showers may
occur. Thus, I have increased POPs a little bit for this
afternoon for the far eastern CWA. West of the mountains, enough
diurnal mixing should occur to preclude much, if any, showers
to develop today. Today will be the warmest day of the week
given good diurnal mixing and increasingly warm H85 temps.

Aforementioned sfc low will shift northeast of the area tonight
and swing a modified arctic airmass into the CWA during the
second half of the night...with the front likely approaching the
mountains by sunrise Wed. A band of rain showers will accompany
the front and will likely produce some local wind gusts of 30
to 40 mph, given the expected parcel downglide momentum. A
rapid decrease of thermal profile values will occur post-FROPA,
possibly allowing for a few snowflakes to occur across SE OH
before sunrise Wed. The coldest temps for "tonight" will
actually occur after sunrise Wed morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 230 PM Monday...

A strong cold front will be nearing our northwestern zones on
Tuesday night. The bulk of its progression through the forecast
area will occur during the overnight hours into Wednesday with
showers accompanying the boundary, proceeded by much colder air.
QPF amounts continue to trend light with this event, which would
impose very little rainfall accumulations for areas outside of
the mountains.

The strong cold air advection will aid in a late burst of winter
across the higher terrain after midday Wednesday, with rain
changing over to snow showers amid falling temperatures. There
remains some uncertainty with this late season snow event in
regards to how much snow will accumulate due to warming ground
conditions. We could also see a light dusting in Perry County
early Wednesday morning, but the majority of accumulation will
stay well west of the Columbus, Ohio area.

Cold air permeates over the area overnight Wednesday, which will
likely yield a widespread freeze Thursday morning. Frost/Freeze
headlines will most likely be warranted for this timeframe for
areas in the CWA where the growing season has been declared
started already this year. Temperatures will also bottom out
nearing the conclusion of the short term period into Friday
morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 230 PM Monday...

The beginning of the long term advertises much quieter weather
returning to the Central Appalachians amid dominating surface
high pressure and ridging aloft. Model consensus remains on
track in regards to the next disturbance arriving this weekend,
albeit a bit of a delay with onset timing. Details will be
finessed over the next several days in terms of rainfall
accumulation.

Another freeze is likely Friday morning with low temperatures
dipping below freezing in our most sheltered valleys and our
mountainous regions. A warming trend then ensues on Friday
within the southwest flow ahead of our weekend system.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 117 AM Tuesday...

VFR expected areawide through the 06z TAF period.

A sfc cold front is currently drifting south across central and
eastern OH and should sag a little farther south before stalling
roughly along the OH River. Front may drift south across KPKB
overnight, but should stay north of remaining regional
aerodromes. Aside from this front, quiet aviation wx conditions
expected overnight. Mainly clear skies with some mid level
cloudiness possibly developing closer to sunrise.

During the day Tues, diurnally driven shallow Cu and altocu field
may develop, but VFR should persist areawide. With that
said...iso afternoon SHRA may develop roughly east of a KBKW to
KEKN line, but coverage and chances of occurrence are too low to
mention in KBKW/KEKN TAFs at this time.

VFR to continue Tues evening before a strong and impactful cold
front arrives between 06z and 12z Wed.

Weak srly to calm sfc winds overnight...although KPKB may become
NWrly around 5 kts if the aforementioned front crosses. SWrly
sfc winds of around 10 kts with occasional gusts nearly areawide
from roughly late morning through the afternoon.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: High.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Afternoon coverage of precip may be greater
than currently indicated.
