AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Charleston WV 645 AM EST Sun Feb 26 2023 .SYNOPSIS... Weak high pressure brings relatively dry conditions through this evening. A storm system brings a warm, wet and windy return Sunday night through Monday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 325 AM Sunday... A dry quasi-stationary frontal boundary remains in place just north of the area today. Surface high pressure keeps conditions relatively dry today and for the most part of tonight. Low level clouds will gradually burn off by mid morning or early afternoon leading to mostly clear skies. Chances for rain showers return during the predawn hours late tonight, associated with a lifting warm front. Afternoon temperatures will be slightly above normal, generally in the mid to lower 50s across the lowlands, ranging into the lower 40s highest elevations of our northeast mountains. Lows tonight will range from the lower 40s extreme southern WV, KY and VA, ranging into the mid to lower 30 across our northern half including our northeast mountains. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 315 AM Sunday... Key Points: * Warm front brings rain Monday, with afternoon storms possible * Strong wind gusts develop Monday afternoon and continue through the night * Rain tapers off behind a cold front Monday night * Drier, with gusty winds diminishing on Tuesday A warm front lifts across the area as a low pressure system moves into the Great Lakes region on Monday. Rain showers are expected ahead of and along the front Monday morning, then moisture and weak instability should support continued showers along with the possibility of thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Strong gusty winds will develop by afternoon, with 35-50 mph gusts expected to mix down as a strong low level jet moves overhead. A marginal risk of severe weather has been highlighted over the western half of the CWA where there is potential for isolated storms to produce damaging winds on Monday. A cold front pushes across the CWA late Monday into Monday night as the same parent low continues to progress northeast. Rain tapers off west to east following the frontal passage, though a few showers could linger until Tuesday morning along the mountains. Wind gusts are likely to persist through the night, then finally begin to relax once the system pulls away on Tuesday. Surface high pressure crosses Tuesday into Tuesday night, with mostly dry conditions persisting into Wednesday before an approaching front brings rain chances back into the area. Temperatures remain unseasonably mild through mid week. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 315 AM Sunday... Key Points: * Cold front brings more rain Wednesday night into Thursday * Another system crosses late in the work week * Cooler temperatures possible late week into the weekend A low crossing to the northwest is expected to usher a cold front across the CWA Wednesday night into early Thursday. Precipitation coverage should lessen during the day, then moisture increases again as another system approaches from the southwest Thursday night. While the projected track of the system is remains uncertain, models show the system crossing by on Friday and then pulling away Friday night into Saturday morning. Drier conditions should then return with surface high pressure next weekend. Rain is expected across the area as mild temperatures persist through Thursday. Cooler air working into the area could introduce a wintry mix along the mountains and possibly southeast Ohio late in the work week, with more widespread snow possible before precipitation comes to an end late Friday night into early Saturday morning. && .AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 640 AM Sunday... Areas of IFR dense fog developed overnight affecting HTS and portions of the metro area, southern coalfields and central mountains. This fog will gradually burn off, or lift into a MVFR ceilings before eroding by late morning. An MVFR/IFR low stratus deck evident on satellite imagery, will gradually lift to MVFR across the lowland sites by 15Z, and along the eastern mountains by 16-17Z. Rain showers return at the end of the period as a warm front lifts north across our area late Sunday night into Monday morning. Periods of MVFR/IFR conditions are expected with this system. Light southwest winds will prevail for the most part, gusty at times across CKB and EKN during the afternoon. FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY...
