AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
248 PM EST Sat Feb 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure system brings high confidence in significant flooding
this weekend. Snow to end the event. Cold next week with snow around
mid-week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 233 PM Saturday...

Key Points:

  * Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for higher elevations
    of Pocahontas and Randolph counties until 7 PM this evening.

  * Flood Watch remains in effect for the entire area through Sunday night.

  * High Wind Watch was upgraded to a Wind Advisory for the higher elevations
    of our northeast mountains in effect from 10 AM Sunday to 1 PM Monday.

With temperatures around 32F, decided to keep winter weather advisory in
effect until 7 PM this evening. WAA should bring temperatures above freezing
by late afternoon or evening.

A prolonged period of moderate to heavy rain will continue across
southern WV and SW VA this afternoon and evening. Light to moderate
rain will be possible across portions of SE OH and northern half of
WV through this evening. Then, the warm front should lift north
later this evening spreading rain across the rest of the area
overnight. This will pose a threat for flooding of creeks, small
streams, river, and low lying and poor drainage areas further north
affecting the rest of the area with precipitation through Sunday.
Therefore, a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for the entire area
until Sunday night.

The pressure gradient tightens up as a surface low pressure
approaches from the west, crossing with a cold front Sunday morning.
This front will bring additional convective rain showers, with
higher rainfall rates across the area on Sunday. Blended NBM with
the GFS solution for Sunday, permitting rain to transition to
rain showers while decreasing in intensity and coverage. Much
colder air behind the cold front will transition rain into snow
starting across SE OH by early Sunday afternoon, and then
spreading east into the eastern mountains.

Winds will increase behind the front on Sunday, with gusts up to 35
mph across the lowlands, and up to 57 mph along the higher peaks
of our northeast mountains. Decided to upgrade the watch to a Wind
Advisory for higher elevations of Pocahontas and Randolph counties
from 10 AM Sunday to 1 PM Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
As of 245 PM Saturday...

Key Points:

* Heavy snow continues in the mountains Sunday night, tapering off
  on Monday

* Blowing and drifting of mountain snow may enhance travel impacts
  Sunday night into Monday

* Windy conditions in the mountains and breezy conditions in the
  lowlands continue Monday with wet soils, some tree damage may occur

Surface low pressure continues to eject into the Canadian Maritimes
Sunday night. Cold advection on breezy to windy northwesterly flow
will continue to drive temperatures down from just over the freezing
mark to the upper teens/lower 20s over the lower elevations and
lower teens in the mountains by Monday morning. Moisture
contribution from the Upper Great Lakes looks decent, but somewhat
short lived during this period, with additional upslope enhanced
liquid equivalents of perhaps a third to half an inch. The bulk of
model guidance does show snow liquid ratios approaching 20:1 during
the period, but forecast moisture profiles could be a little tenuous
to support snow/liquid ratios this high. Overall, think confidence
high enough to upgrade existing Winter Weather Advisories to Winter
Storm Warnings for the highest elevations with 5 to 8 inches of
snowfall expected. Impacts will be enhanced by blowing and drifting
of high ratio snow with winds gusting 45 to 55 mph. While blizzard
conditions may exist for a period, especially along the highest
ridgetops, generally think this is best handled by a Winter Storm
Warning. May also see a brief period where wind chills touch
criteria along the highest ridgetops Monday morning, but given the
substantial number of products out, will hold off on issuing
anything for that this early. Will also expand Winter Weather
Advisories out to most of the neighboring zones where 3 to 5 inches
of snow can be expected. Across the remainder of the lowlands,
accumulating snow showers will be possible, likely concentrated in
lake enhanced streamers late Sunday night into Monday. At this time,
this doesn't look to approach advisory type levels, but could be
impactful for the Monday morning commute given recent rainfall
washing away snow abatement.

In addition to strong winds across the highest elevations, winds
will be breezy across the lower elevations Sunday night into Monday
with gusts generally 25 to 35 mph. Coupled with very wet soil
conditions, these winds may be sufficient to toppled shallow rooted
trees and may cause some power outages.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 240 PM Saturday...

Key Point:

* Still some uncertainty, but confidence is building for a potential
  all elevation snow event Wednesday into Thursday

Dry, but cold conditions are expected Tuesday with morning lows in
the mid teens to lower 20s and afternoon highs only rising to near
freezing.

The next weather maker is just coming onshore today across the
PacNW, so should see some higher quality sampling for subsequent
model runs. For now, guidance is converging toward a fairly quick
hitting system moving into the TN Valley early Wednesday
morning, crossing into our area during the day Wednesday and
departing by Wednesday night. Model consensus currently keeps
the rain/snow line just to our south yielding an all snow event,
but could certainly see this change with even a minor change in
the low's track. Probabilistic guidance givens 50% chance or
greater for 4 inches or more in 24 hours from US-50 and south
Wednesday morning through Thursday morning. Some additional
upslope enhanced snow may linger in the mountains well into the
day Thursday.

Quiet weather then briefly returns with another disturbance possible
for next weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 1230 PM Saturday...

Periods of moderate to heavy rain will continue to affect the
southern WV, SW VA, and central and northern WV mountains through
tonight as a warm front lifts north. Expect IFR/LIFR conditions at
BKW where the axis of precipitation has settled this afternoon.
Similar conditions are expected across the rest of sites as the warm
front lifts north later this afternoon and evening. Otherwise,
temporarily MVFR/VFR conditions will be possible outside
periods of rain.

The proximity of an approaching low pressure center will tighten up
the pressure gradient, providing a low level jet aloft developing
this afternoon and lasting through the night. This will produce an
extended period of LLWS across most terminals through at least
Sunday morning. Therefore, coded LLWS using NBM timing.

The low pressure, will push a cold front, entering SE OH by 12Z
Sunday. Much colder airmass behind the front will transition
rain into snow by Sunday afternoon (~18Z), spreading from west
to east while diminishing in intensity and coverage. LLWS may
continue during FROPA. Conditions finally improve to MVFR/VFR
from west to east Sunday afternoon or evening.

Light southerly winds, gusty around areas of moderate rain, will
continue across the area through Sunday morning, before shifting
from the west and becoming gusty behind the cold front Sunday
afternoon and evening.
