AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
1241 AM EST Wed Dec 4 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold and cloudy tonight. Rain and mountain snow returns with a
cold front Wednesday night, followed by area-wide snow chances
Thursday. Warming trend starts Saturday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
As of 800 PM Tuesday...

Did make a few small adjustments to overnight lows (downward in
a few spots) based on current conditions and trends, and also
tweaked cloud. Also smoothed the POP transition a bit heading
into 00z Thurs, but no major changes were made at this point
regarding the incoming storm system.

As of 1250 PM Tuesday...

High pressure centered over our area will begin to pivot south
tonight and should potentially lead to skies clearing overnight
tonight, especially across western portions of our area, but
clouds could linger across the northeast mountains and just
westward as they get held up this afternoon into tonight.

Lingering broad area of light snow/flurries present across the
southern half of our area as a result of upstream lake effect
activity providing moisture amid continued cold air advection,
the heaviest activity should continue to push southeast through
this afternoon and any remaining snow should transition to
primarily flurries by evening, but not before some areas see up
to an inch of snow, mainly near Beckley and along the higher
elevations.

Temperatures overnight tonight should be similar to the previous
night but a few degrees warmer, with low's around 20 across the
lowlands and low to mid teens in the mountains, some locations
may get into the single digits again, especially if cloud cover
manages to clear out overnight across the mountains. High
temperatures Wednesday will be much warmer from the low to mid
40's across the lowlands and low to mid 30's in the mountains as
warm air advection begins tonight amid southwest flow, which
will lead to an increase in moisture returning to the area as
well ahead of a clipper poised to slow down and deepen across
southern Ontario late Wednesday, leading to our next chance at
measurable precipitation Wednesday night.

Lastly, winds will increase amid southwest warm air advection
by late morning Wednesday as the low pressure system quickly
approaches from the west, leading to wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph
across much of the lowlands with higher gusts of 30 to 40 mph
likely in the mountains starting at the end of this period.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
As of 239 PM Tuesday...

Key Points:

  *  A clipper system will bring snow accumulations to the area
     Wednesday night through Thursday.

  *  3-6" across the mountains, with locally higher amounts possible.

  *  1-3" possible across the lowlands.

  *  Whiteout conditions and blowing snow possible across the higher
     elevations of the mountains.

  *  Strong gusty winds will be likely across the higher
     terrain.

  *  Cold wind chills expected Thursday and Friday mornings.

A strong cold front will bring another round of accumulating
snow to the area Wednesday night through Thursday. This clipper
will be a bit more effective than the previous due to adequate
cold air being in place already. This system also is projected
to traverse the area much slower, allowing for longer a time
frame for accumulations. A winter storm watch has been issued
Wednesday evening into Thursday afternoon for portions of
northern and northeastern West Virginia for heavy snow and low
visibilities due to blowing snow. Further winter weather
headlines and expansions are likely in the next hours.

Expecting a decent bit of snow across the mountains where
anywhere between 2" to 6" inches will be possible, with locally
higher amounts across the highest terrain of the mountains. The
lowlands will see rain changing to snow early Thursday morning
with light accumulations between 1" and 3" inches expected. The
heaviest snowfall looks to occur Thursday morning with the
morning commute likely being impacted.

A strong pressure gradient creates gusty winds across the area
late Wednesday into Thursday. The higher elevations of the
mountains could see gusts up to 50 mph. Blowing snow leading to
whiteout conditions will be possible for areas in Randolph,
Upshur, Barbour, Pocahontas and Webster counties (Winter Storm
Watch areas). Visibilities less than a quarter of a mile at
times will be possible, particularly Thursday morning.

Strong gusts paired with cold temperatures in the teens and 20s
across the mountains will create very cold wind chills in the
negative single digits and teens Thursday and Thursday night.
Cold weather headlines may be issued in the future. Snowfall
looks to taper off and become skewed to the mountains in the
form of upslope Thursday afternoon and evening. Light
accumulations are possible across the western slopes of the
northeastern mountains Thursday night.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 1157 AM Tuesday...

Key Points:

  * Upslope mountain snow will be ending Friday.

  * Afterwards, becoming dry into Saturday.

  * Cold on Friday and Friday night.

  * Warming trend will start this weekend.

  * Chances for rain Sunday and higher chances on Monday into
    Tuesday with cold front.

On Friday, the area will be under strong NW flow behind a strong
cold front with high pressure squeezing in from our SW. Left chances
for early morning upslope snow showers across the higher elevations
of the northeastern WV mountains, with a few light accumulations
less than an inch possible.

Winds will be continuing to lessen as a pressure gradient aloft
moves off to the east, but the NW flow gradient will be present
enough to keep gusts up to 20 MPH or 30 MPH until afternoon across
the the higher terrain. Cold weather headlines may be possible
Friday morning across the usual NW Pocahontas/SE Randolph higher
elevations zones with temperatures projected to be in the upper
single digits and lower 10s. This paired with active wind could make
for wind chills in the negative teens for some locations.

Outside of the higher elevations, Friday will showcase a very cold
and brisk start, with skies clearing and mostly dry conditions
thanks to the entrance of high pressure. Winds will slack off
through the day, but high temperatures will be around freezing
across the lowlands with teens and 20s expected in the mountains.

Dry weather lasts from Friday night into Saturday, but more chances
for snow and some rain may arrive by Saturday afternoon through
Sunday with an upper-level disturbance ahead of a warm front. Not
highly confident that this system will be impactful or conducive to
accumulating snow.

Warm up also looks to occur on Saturday and Sunday with the lowlands
finally seeing some 40s and 50s on the board for temperatures thanks
to a crossing warm front.

The system arrives Monday in the form of a cold front. Models are
showing likely to definite PoPs Monday through Tuesday, but not
willing to keep high precipitation chances this far out. Did lower
percentages some, but kept the broadbrush coverage as this system
looks wet. Warming trend will also be continuing Monday and Tuesday
with highs in the lowlands looking to be in the 50s, with 40s in the
mountains. Some of the typical warm spots across the lowlands
could see temperatures around 60 degrees on Monday.

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1240 AM Wednesday...

Outside a pocket of MVFR stratus hugging the northeast West
Virginia mountains, flight conditions remain quiet early this
morning. This will remain the case through the first half of the
day before the next disturbance sinks down from the Great Lakes
region. This will promote the combination of lowered ceilings
and rain/snow showers for the concluding hours of the TAF
period. Warm temperatures at the onset of precipitation will
advertise rain, but will gradually change over to snow overnight
tonight as colder air filters into the region. This will then
promote low end VFR down to MVFR ceilings to round out the
period.

A strong jet associated with this approaching disturbance will
introduce an uptick in low to mid level winds starting Wednesday
afternoon into tonight. Breezy to strong surface gusts were
mentioned shortly after 16Z today and will then persist through
the end of the period. Uncertainty lies in surface conditions
late tonight, where any moments of decoupling and growing calm
at the surface will then enforce LLWS at the top of the flight
column. On the other hand, gusts on the upwards of 25 to 30kts
out of the southwest could prevail overnight.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Onset timing of sub-VFR ceilings may vary
late this evening with the arrival of the clipper system. LLWS
onset time and strength tomorrow could vary from the forecast.
