The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.
A narrow line of showers, with a few embedded thunderstorms, accompanied a strong cold front during Christmas Eve. Temperatures had been in the 60 to 65 degree range during the afternoon with dew points in the lower 50s.
In the fast moving showers, most wind gusts were in the 40 to 50 mph range across the western lowland counties, as far east as the Interstate 79 corridor. In Boone County, a stronger gust likely occurred. Around 4,600 customers temporarily lost electricity in southwestern West Virginia, including the Huntington to Charleston corridor.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Charleston, WV wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Dec 24, 2:55 PM EST, 3 hours 14 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
255 PM EST WED DEC 24 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT BRINGS GUSTY WINDS AND SHOWERS INTO THIS EVENING.
CHRISTMAS DAY STARTS COLD...CLOUDY...AND WINDY...WITH A FEW RAIN AND
SNOW SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE CHRISTMAS NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MODELS CONTINUE TO DRIVE A STRONG COLD FRONT EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ACCOMPANIED BY A BAND OF SHOWERS AND A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS. STILL SHOWING A MODERATE WESTERLY 850MB JET...
PUNCHING IN BEHIND THE FRONT...AND LIFTING UP ACROSS THE LOW LANDS
AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. THIS COUPLED WITH A TIGHT AND IMPRESSIVE
COLD ADVECTION THERMAL PATTERN WILL GREATLY ENHANCE DOWNWARD
MOMENTUM TRANSFER...FIRST WITH THE SHOWERS AND FOR SEVERAL HOURS
BEHIND THE FRONT. THUS...WILL CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR
NORTHWESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA TIL 10 PM EST THIS EVENING.
WHILE GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE FOR AWHILE AFTER 10 PM...LOSS OF
MIXING THRU HEATING AND LESSENING OF THE THERMAL GRADIENT WILL
DECREASE THE WINDS FROM WEST TO EAST. FOR TEMPERATURES...THERE WILL
BE A STRONG TEMPERATURE DROP BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT ABNORMALLY WARM
TEMPERATURES AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY ONLY SEASONAL
TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND CHRISTMAS DAY. SO...POST FRONTAL RAIN
SHOWERS WILL STRUGGLE TO CHANGE TO SNOW SHOWERS BEFORE ENDING FOR
THE MOST PART FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WHERE RAIN WILL CHANGE
TO SNOW...BUT LITTLE SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED AS DEEPER
MOISTURE IS LOST BY THE TIME OF CHANGEOVER. ON CHRISTMAS DAY...LOTS
OF LOW CLOUDS IN THE MORNING....BREAKING FOR SOME SUNSHINE IN THE
AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE AND MUCH DRIER AIR SETTLES IN FROM THE
WEST. LOOK FOR HIGHS IN THE 40S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WITH MOISTURE IN THE MOUNTAINS SHOWN TO BECOME LESS THAN 1.5 KFT
THICK IN THE NRN MOUNTAINS BY 00Z FRI...AND THE TOP OF THE CLOUD AT
-5C OR WARMER...OPTED TO CUT OFF UPSLOPE RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS THERE BY
THEN TO START THE PERIOD. COLD ADVECTION IS CUT OFF AS COLD CORE
SHIFTS E...AND HIGH PRESSURE TAKES OVER AT THE SFC BENEATH UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING.
THE HIGH MAINTAINS ITS INFLUENCE ON THE WEATHER AS IT BECOMES
ANCHORED OVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES FRI AND REMAINS SO THROUGH
FRI NT...BEFORE DRIFTING EWD...OFFSHORE...ON SAT. THIS SPELLS DRY
WEATHER WITHOUT MUCH CLOUD...ONCE THE CLOUDS IN THE NRN MOUNTAINS
GRADUALLY BREAK UP THU NT.
CLOUDS...MAINLY HIGH...INCREASE SAT AFTERNOON AS A LARGE POSITIVE
TILT UPPER LEVEL S/W TROUGH AND SFC COLD FRONT APPROACH. MODELS
CONTINUE TO TREND SLOWER WITH THIS FEATURE...LIKELY OWING TO THE
TENACIOUS UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER THE BAHAMAS. THUS HAVE SLOWED THE
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION INCREASING FROM THE W...LIMITING IT TO JUST
A SCHC ALONG AND W OF THE OHIO RIVER BY THE END OF THE DAY SAT.
BLENDED IN THE MET AND MAV FOR LOWS THU NT...A LITTLE HIGHER OVER
THE MIDDLE OHIO VALLEY ON ACCOUNT OF THE GRADIENT ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE HIGH THERE...AND A LITTLE LOWER ELSEWHERE WITH GOOD RADIATIVE
COOLING IN THE VALLEYS. BLENDED IN THE MET FOR LOWS A LITTLE LOWER
FRI NT WITH LESS CLOUD AND HIGH PRESSURE KEEPING THE FLOW LIGHT
ESPECIALLY S AND E OF THE OHIO RIVER. BLENDED IN THE MET FOR HIGHS
FRI FOR LITTLE CHANGE. RAISED HIGHS SAT A LITTLE ABOVE CONSENSUS
AND GENERALLY ABOVE THE STRAIGHT GUIDANCE AND BELOW THE BIAS
CORRECTED GUIDANCE. WITH LESS CLOUD...SAT SHOULD NOT BE MUCH IF ANY
COOLER THAN FRI.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MAIN SYNOPTIC FEATURE FOR THE LONG TERM IS A COLD FRONT PASSING
THROUGH AND THEN A SECONDARY WAVE RIDING ALONG THE FRONT. THE GFS
CONTINUES TO SUPPRESS THE SECOND WAVE...KEEPING IT MAINLY SOUTH AND
EAST. THE LATEST ECMWF IS TRENDING THIS WAY AS WELL. STARTED WITH
WPC GUIDANCE...AND THEN BLENDED IN ANOTHER DOSE OF THE GFS. HAVE THE
COLD FRONT PASSING THROUGH ON SUNDAY WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE CWA. THEN HAVE ANOTHER AREA OF LIKELY POPS ACROSS MAINLY THE
COAL FIELDS AND SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY
WITH THE SECONDARY WAVE.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
18Z WEDNESDAY THRU 18Z THURSDAY...
DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE NORTH FROM CENTRAL KENTUCKY AT 16Z
INTO CENTRAL MICHIGAN BY 00Z. PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL CONTINUE TO
TIGHTEN AND COLD FRONT PASSAGE WILL TAKE PLACE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. LOOK FOR THE FRONT AT THE OHIO RIVER AROUND 19Z...CRW-CKB
AROUND 21Z AND IN THE MOUNTAINS BY 23Z. SOME DRY SLOTTING THIS
AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL KEEP VFR CONDITIONS WITH MINIMAL
SHOWERS...AND THE LINGERING LIGHT RAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS WILL MOSTLY
END BY 18Z. THEN EXPECT A ROUND OF GUSTY SHOWERS AND ISOLD TO SCT
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE COLD FRONT. SOUTHWESTERLY WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO
50 KTS KTS POSSIBLE ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT FOR A FEW
HOURS...ESPECIALLY IN THE CONVECTION ALONG THE COLD FRONT ITSELF.
AFTER 03Z WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISH...BUT STILL UP AROUND 30S KTS IN THE
HIGHER MOUNTAIN ELEVATIONS...AND MVFR STRATUS SPREADS EASTWARD IN
THE COLD ADVECTION ACROSS THE AREA...WITH IFR CEILINGS IN THE
