AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
1232 PM EST Tue Dec 30 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Strong, gusty winds, snow showers will gradually diminish today.
More chances for snow showers tonight, followed by a more
potent system that will ring in the new year Wednesday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 910 AM Tuesday...

Modified POPs this morning to reflect current radar trends with
a decent band of showers streaming along the I-64 corridor. This
has brought forth a dusting to light snow accumulations as the
line lays over the Kanawha Valley. The expectation is for snow
showers to simmer down over the next few hours as drier air
filters into the region. Will continue to monitor radar trends
for potential additional updates.

As of 140 AM Tuesday...

Key Points:

 * High Wind Warnings remain in place for the northern
   mountains into this afternoon.

 * Wind chills between 10 and 20 below will continue for the
   higher mountains into this morning, with single digit below
   zero chills continuing through tonight.

 * Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for the northeast
   WV mountains through midday.

Winds remain gusty across the area heading towards sunrise, but
are markedly lower in the lowlands west of the mountains
compared to yesterday and the early overnight hours. Winds
remain strong over the mountains, with the high ridges from
Snowshoe up to the Dolly Sods regularly clocking gusts in the
40-60mph range. We'll leave the High Wind Warning in effect for
the time being, but we may be able to drop it early in
coordination with neighbors if gusts at Snowshoe and our other
high ridges maintain below even Advisory criteria heading
through the morning hours.

Snow showers continue over the mountains, with a few isolated
snow showers also crossing the southern coalfields overnight.
However, outside of the mountains, there is little to no
accumulation, but the mountains could pick up another couple
inches through this morning. As the disturbance shifts east of
the CWA by this afternoon and high pressure moves into the
southern and central Appalachians, snow showers should taper
off, with winds also diminishing more significantly, as well.
That said, winds will remain at least intermittently gusty as
the core of the high will remain to our south and southwest.

After a brief break, deterministic models and ensembles are
pointing towards a weak upper-level trough crossing the area
tonight into Wednesday morning bringing some more snow showers
to the CWA, especially northern and eastern areas. However, with
the fast pace of the system and likely showery nature of the
precipitation, amounts will be light for most of the area. Both
NBM and HREF probabilistic data point towards even a dusting
being contained mostly northeast of a Athens-Charleston-Beckley
line, with anything over an inch likely just in the northern WV
mountains.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
As of 230 AM Tuesday...

Key Points:

 * A potent shortwave brings heavy snow potential to parts of
   the Appalachian mountains later Wednesday into Thursday
   morning to ring in the new year.

 * Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for the northeast
   mountains and western slopes.

 * Lighter snow totals are expected for much of the lowlands.

The northern part of the CWA may not get much of a break from
the snow showers during the day on Wednesday before the next
potent clipper system drops into the area from the northwest
Wednesday evening. Snow will spread into east-central OH and
north-central WV during the late afternoon or early evening
hours of Wednesday, spreading further south and increasing in
intensity later in the evening and overnight.

Given the timing of the snow during the evening and overnight
hours of New Year's Eve, that could cause some extra impacts to
holiday travel. Folks traveling for New Year's Eve festivities
may wish to consider traveling earlier in the afternoon, and
delaying return travel until later in the day on Thursday when
road crews can hopefully have things well in hand. Travel would
be discouraged during the heart of the storm in the overnight
hours.

Looking at NBM probabilistic data and WPC's probabilistic
forecasts, as well as our deterministic forecast, there is a
good chance for 5 to 9 inches of snow in our 'usual suspect'
northern mountain locations. The western slopes of those zones
could see 3 to 6 inches of accumulation, as well. As a result,
we have maintained the Winter Storm Watch issued for these areas
east of I-79, from Webster County northward.

The only real change made to the NBM's POPs or QPF at this
point was to boost POPs a bit closer to our highest ridges in
northwestern Pocahontas County, and also shift the peak QPF and
snow a bit southeastward to spread more onto those ridges as
well, as NBM's QPF has a known bias to put the peak a bit too
far to the northwest. As a result, with forecast snow amounts
2-3 inches higher now, the Northeast Pocahontas zone was added
to the Winter Storm Watch.

Looking into lower elevations, probabilistic data points towards
the 50% chance for 2 inches or more of snow being mainly along
and east of I-77, and down into the southern coalfields as far
southwest as Boone and Wyoming counties. That gives a good first
guess of where a future Winter Weather Advisory may be issued
for this system. Lowland snow showers likely taper off during
the morning on Thursday, with mountain snow showers hanging on
into the afternoon.

Wind gusts will increase across the mountains as the clipper's
cold front crosses overnight, and a Wind Advisory may be needed,
as NBM and HREF probabilities both show over 60% chance for
gusts of 40kts or higher for at least NW Pocahontas and SE
Randolph. Temperatures will drop back well below normal behind
the front on Thursday, with highs only mid-20s to mid-30s in
lowlands, and teens to 20s in the mountains.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 300 AM Tuesday...

Our active stretch of weather may take a bit of a break late
this week into the weekend. Surface high pressure slides over
the area Friday, bringing dry weather to the CWA. A weak
disturbance passing over the Southeast US later Friday night
into Saturday may bring some rain showers to the southern part
of the CWA, but it's looking increasingly possible that precip
misses our CWA entirely to the south, and POPs were kept low.
Another high sliding over the area should allow for a dry
Sunday, but there are hints among the models and ensembles that
a short-wave disturbance may affect the area to start next week.

All of that said, one thing the models do agree on is that we
seem likely to remain in NW'ly during this period as the axis of
the long-wave upper trough remains anchored over eastern Canada
south to the area between Bermuda and the Carolinas. As a
result, model timing on precip potential or breaks in activity
is to be taken with a grain of salt this far out, as weak
disturbances in NW'ly flow regimes can often 'materialize' and
'disappear' from the model data at this lead time.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 1230 PM Tuesday...

A combination of MVFR/IFR conditions are currently being
observed across our airspace this afternoon in the midst of lake
enhanced snow showers. IFR threshold are most due to brief vsby
restrictions caused by the passing snow showers, while MVFR
ceilings are entrenched across much of the Central Appalachians.

Another clipper system dropping down from the north overnight
tonight will promote MVFR ceilings to ooze into our northern
terminals. Ceilings will slowly lift on Wednesday once that
system lifts out of the area, but will quickly be followed by a
more potent disturbance shortly after the valid TAF period.

Gusty winds along the mountains will fester into the day
Wednesday, which could impose 15 to 25 knot gusts at most
terminals due to a tightened pressure gradient. Mountain
turbulence and LLWS concerns are not out of the question for
Wednesday morning.

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

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: MVFR/VFR category changes with stratocu
could vary. IFR is possible in snow showers tonight at EKN and
perhaps even CKB and BKW.
