AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
1247 PM EST Wed Jan 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Flurries and light snow persist through Thursday morning. Very
cold weather expected through Thursday with additional chances
for wintry precipitation this coming weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
As of 945 AM Wednesday...

Increased pops and snow amounts across the area for the
remainder of today as enough moisture is in crystal growth zone
for the continuation of light snow showers, which with the
cold/high snow ratios, expecting light accumulations even across
the lowlands today.

As of 615 AM Wednesday...

Modified a few spots across the Ohio River Valley that have
remained a few degrees warmer than anticipated. Otherwise,
forecast remains on track in regards to widespread overcast and
embedded snow showers/flurries.

As of 235 AM Wednesday...

Key Points:

 * Steady stream of snow showers in the mountains will result in
   accumulations ranging from 2 to 4 inches through Thursday
   morning.

 * Cold wind chills persist early this morning and again tonight
   along the higher terrain.

 * Flurries prosper across the lower elevations today beneath
   low level stratus.

Longwave troughing encapsulating the northeast quadrant of the
country will continue to maintain a steady stream of northwest
flow into the forecast area through the period. Satellite
imagery early this morning shows areas from Upstate New York
down into the Mississippi Valley entrenched beneath low level
stratus, with no signs of this cloud deck budging within the
near term period.

Thermal profiles continue to depict a strong signal for
flurries to thrive today into tonight across the lower
elevations, while better opportunities for stronger bands of
lake enhanced snow showers stream into the higher elevations.
These showers will bolster accumulations of around 2 to 4
inches for the northeast West Virginia mountains through
Thursday morning. The best opportunity to see 6 hour
accumulations higher than a few tenths of an inch appears to be
after sunset this evening as the base of the trough axis swings
through the region. Opted to maintain the inherited Winter
Weather Advisory as is given the longevity of this event and
minimal impacts anticipated within this weather pattern.

Cold, arctic air remains present over the forecast area today
into tonight. Wind chills bottoming out close to -15F along our
higher mountain zones remains plausible this morning as breezy
winds work in tandem with the colder air in place. A Cold
Weather Advisory remains hoisted for southeast Randolph and
northwest Pocahontas Counties through 11 AM this morning.
Another strong signal for wind chills of similar merit are
anticipated for tonight in these locations, boding the
likelihood of another Advisory being necessary with the next
forecast cycle.

In addition, the aforementioned passage of the trough axis will
yield overnight temperatures to plummet to readings lower than
what has been observed the past few days. Many will wake up to
Thursday morning lows dropping into the single digits/low teens,
especially in the Ohio River Valley. Cloud cover hovering over
our western zones for a longer period of time in comparison to
our neighboring offices to the west will aid in minimizing
widespread advisory level wind chills for Thursday morning in
our lower elevations.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 300 AM Wednesday...

Key Points:

 * Well below normal temperatures continue through Thursday
   night, creating further impacts for anyone still without
   power. Temperatures recover a bit late-week.

 * Attention turns to the next winter weather event, expected
   later Friday through Saturday.

 * Light to moderate snow expected area-wide, with several
   inches possible in the mountains and southern coalfields. At
   this time, NO freezing rain or sleet is anticipated.

A good portion of the area may still be seeing some flurries or
light snow showers at the start of the short-term, but this
quickly becomes confined to the mountains by mid-morning.
Soundings show the low-level moisture shallows out enough by
mid-afternoon that most if not all mountain flurries should be
wrapped up, though clouds may linger over and just west of the
mountains straight through Thursday night until the next system
arrives. It will remain gusty on the higher ridges on Thursday,
with gusts up to 40 mph possible, then calm down Thursday
evening and night.

The next system for Friday into Saturday looks to be a classic
Miller A storm initially, as it moves out of the Gulf of Mexico
and towards the eastern Carolinas. As such, we stay on the cold
side of the system, so we are not anticipating any freezing
rain or sleet with that round of wintry weather. Snow rolls in
from southwest to northeast Friday afternoon and evening, and
should be widespread across the CWA Friday night. There is a
chance precip may start as some rain/snow mix in some of the
valleys of the southern coalfields and into our SW Virginia
counties if they manage to sneak a few degrees above freezing
Friday afternoon, but any rain mix quickly shuts off by Friday
evening. Precip will start to diminish over SE Ohio late Friday
night, then gradually decrease in the rest of the lowlands
during the day on Saturday. By Saturday afternoon, any
appreciable accumulating snow may be confined to the mountains.

The northern fringe of these systems is always a bit difficult
to predict, as it depends a lot on how much moisture can get
drawn north by the upper-level trough over the Great Lakes. As
of right now, a first cut at QPF would see totals ranging from
under a quarter of an inch for most lowlands, and up to around a
third of an inch for many of the mountains and into the
southern coalfields and SW Virginia. Depending on snow ratios,
which should be north of 10- to-1, that may yield snow totals of
2 to 4 inches for much of the area, with some higher amounts in
the mountains and southern coalfields. So as it stands now,
more winter weather headlines may be needed for late Friday into
Saturday - with advisories seeming most likely, but a fair
amount of uncertainty remains at this lead time.

As far as temperatures in the short-term period go, Thursday
looks to be very cold even by mid-January standards, with highs
forecast to be 15 to 20 degrees below normal. That continues
into Thursday night, with lows also 15 to 20 degrees below
normal, mostly single digits above zero, but some low to mid
teens for the southern coalfields into SW Virginia. We may
rebound a bit on Friday, with highs ranging from the upper 20s
in SE Ohio to mid-30s in the far southern counties, but most
areas will then be a touch cooler on Saturday in the midst of
that snow event.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 320 AM Wednesday...

Key Points:

 * After a brief break on Sunday, another snow event is possible
   next Monday into Tuesday.

 * Below average temps will continue into at least the middle
   part of next week.

Mountain snow showers may continue through most of Saturday
night, but eventually the moisture shallows out enough that even
the light upslope snow should mostly end by Sunday. Brief
surface high pressure and a transient upper-level ridge may
allow for a bit of sunshine to work into the area Sunday
afternoon. However, given the tendency of models to be overly
sunny in their sky cover outlook over the region this time of
year, I wouldn't stake any money on that this far out. The
active weather pattern will continue, and we look to only get a
brief break for Sunday and Sunday night. Models are in broad
agreement on an upper- level trough bringing a weak clipper
system towards the area on Monday, with the potential for light
snow to continue into Tuesday as a second upper low spins its
way down from Canada and across the Great Lakes. However, due to
uncertainty on timing and moisture available to the system,
kept POPs at Chance or less for now.

After a frigid Saturday night, temperatures are forecast to
moderate a bit on Sunday, with highs ranging from the 20s in the
mountains to the low to mid-30s in most lower elevations.
Similar or slightly warmer temps are possible on Monday on SW'ly
breezes ahead of that next system, but an earlier onset of
precip would cut down those high temps. Could turn a bit colder
again heading towards the middle of next week.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 1240 PM Wednesday...

Widespread MVFR with temporary/localized IFR conditions in low
ceilings and reduced visibilities in snow showers. Overnight,
particularly between 00Z-12Z, expect additional snow showers,
some of which could be moderate across the northeast mountains
and north central WV, with a continuation of widespread MVFR
with local IFR/LIFR conditions in snow.

Bulk of snow shower activity will start to taper off after 12Z,
although occasional snow showers can be expected to linger
through the remainder of the TAF period, with brief MVFR/IFR
restrictions.

Some improvement to VFR is expected mainly across parts of NE
KY and SE Ohio after 14Z, but bulk of TAF sites should generally
remain MVFR in low ceilings or low ceilings/light snow showers.

In addition, gusty westerly winds will develop , with occasional
gusts in the teens across the lowlands, and in the 20 to 30 kt
range across the higher terrain.
