AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
1129 AM EDT Sun Oct 19 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front crosses today with showers and gusty winds.
Drier and cooler than normal weather returns for most of the
work week, but a few passing showers are possible.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 1122 AM Sunday...

A drastic pattern change is on the way today as a strong cold front
marches into the area from the west. A line of gusty showers are
currently seen on radar across eastern portions of Kentucky, which
will move eastward this afternoon. A thunderstorm or two cannot
be ruled out, but most of the activity will be in the form of
showers due to limited instability. Expect occasional wind
gusts anywhere from 30 to 40 mph along and ahead of this line of
showers across the lowlands. In the West Virginia mountains,
winds will be even stronger late this afternoon and into
tonight, and a wind advisory may need to be considered in the
highest elevations. Winds can reach, or potentially exceed 45
mph late this afternoon and tonight over the highest elevations.
Ensure that all outdoor objects are secure today, which
includes decorations, furniture, and garbage bins.

Winds will gradually diminish across the lowlands this evening
and in the mountains by early Monday morning. A change to much
cooler conditions are expected behind the cold front with an
upper- level low remaining overhead. Temperatures are expected
to drop into the 30s and lower 40s overnight. Monday's highs
will only be in the lower to middle 60s across the lowlands and
the 50s in the mountains. This upper-level low will exit to the
east Monday night as it moves into New England.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 1122 AM Sunday...

A secondary upper-level low will move over the Great Lakes Tuesday
and Wednesday, with pronounced 500-mb height falls over the middle
Ohio Valley. This will bring new chances for showers Tuesday and
Wednesday as pieces of energy rotate along the base of the
trough. Temperatures Tuesday will remain seasonable for late
October with highs generally from the upper 50s in the mountains
to the lower and middle 60s in the lowlands. A reinforcing cold
front will cross from west to east Tuesday afternoon or Tuesday
night. Behind this cold front will be a chilly airmass with
Wednesday morning's lows in the 30s and lower 40s areawide.
Wednesday afternoon's highs will only reach the 50s areawide.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 1122 AM Sunday...

This expansive upper-level low mentioned in the short-term
discussion will remain in control over the Northeast, mid-Atlantic,
and middle Ohio Valley through the rest of the workweek with
slightly below normal temperatures. Models expect this upper-level
low to slowly break down by this weekend, which will allow for
the return of seasonable temperatures by next weekend. Another
southern stream system may approach from the southwest next
weekend, bringing another chance of rain.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 710 AM Sunday...

Winds have overall been a bit slower than expected to start
increasing, but we are starting to see occasional gusts get into
SE Ohio and the Huntington metro area, and these will spread
east through the morning. We can expect widespread gusts in the
20-30kt range later this morning into the afternoon.

The situation today will likely get a bit messy, with some
leading stratiform rain this morning followed by a convective
line of showers and likely a few storms, which appears to be
directly associated with the front or just ahead of it. As the
line is pushing into Ohio, we are some strong spots with
heavier rain, so as the line passes we can expect a period of
MVFR to possibly IFR visibility, as well as some MVFR ceilings
once the rain pushes in. Once the convective line and the front
push through, we'll keep some low stratus behind it, along with
the potential for some lingering showers and mist. By 06z
tonight, precip should be out of most of the area, but may
linger for CKB and EKN a bit after 06z. Ceilings will also
gradually lift from southwest to northeast between 03z and 12z.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Timing of restrictions associated with
rain today will vary, with brief IFR not out of the question.
