What happened

The episode as NWS RLX wrote it up.

Strong support in the winds above the ground, caused showers and thunderstorms to form in the lower Ohio Valley during the evening of the 20th. Dew points were in the low and mid 50s.

The cluster of showers, with a few embedded thunderstorms, streaked through southern Ohio from 0300E to 1200E on the 21st.

A narrow west to east band of enhanced rain fell across central Lawrence County into southern Gallia County. An automatic rain gauge in Dean State Forest of Lawrence County measured 1.42 inches of rain in 8 hours. The cooperative observer in Waterloo measured 1.45 inches.

Streams overflowed and closed roads.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
301 AM EST SUN FEB 21 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
MILD SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH FAST MOVING LOW PRESSURE WITH STRONG
SUPPORT ALOFT STREAKS QUICKLY THROUGH THE AREA TODAY. COOLER MONDAY
INTO TUESDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS
SOUTHERN OHIO WILL ENTER THE OHIO VALLEY AND OUR FORECAST AREA
AROUND 9Z THIS MORNING. MESOSCALE GUIDANCE AND SYNOPTIC MODEL
GUIDANCE CONTINUE LINE UP A QPF BULLSEYE ACROSS OUR CENTRAL
CWA...WITH WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF 0.75 TO 1 INCH LIKELY ALONG WEST
TO EAST ALIGNED COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. HI LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WITH
PWAT VALUES BETWEEN 1.10 AND 1.20 INCHES COMBINED WITH MARGINAL
ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND LOW FFG VALUES BRINGS CAUSE FOR CONCERN
FOR POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE LEFT FLASH
FLOOD WATCH AS IS...AS LOCALIZED HEAVIER RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR CELLS TO TRAIN IN A WEST TO EAST
DIRECTION. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT MAIN STEM RIVERS WILL
REMAIN BELOW FLOOD STAGE...BUT FASTER RESPONSE STREAMS WILL HAVE
TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY TODAY. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THIS SYSTEM
WILL NOT HANG AROUND LONG AND CONDITIONS WILL START TO IMPROVE LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST AND PULLS THE COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE REGION. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RUN MUCH COOLER
TONIGHT...BRINGING AN END TO THE ABOVE AVERAGE STRETCH OF
WEATHER...AS NORTHERN LOCATIONS WILL FALL TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW FREEZING BY MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
MONDAY SHOULD BE QUIET. TUESDAY MAY HAVE A PRE FRONTAL WAVE BRING
PRECIP TO AREA...BUT LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS AS MODELS SEEM TO BE FLIP
FLOPPING ON THIS FEATURE. WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT SETS THE
STAGE FOR A WELL ORGANIZED AND DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE CENTROID TO
MOVE THROUGH THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. DUE TO BROAD NATURE AND
ENHANCED DYNAMICS OF THIS SYSTEM...THERE MAY BE WATER ISSUES.

FOR NOW IT APPEARS 850 JET MISSES OUR FORECAST AREA TO THE
EAST...BUT THIS FEATURE MAY HELP INJECT SOME EXTRA MOISTURE INTO
THE SYSTEM WHICH MAY SPILL OVER INTO OUR EASTERN MTN COUNTIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WHILE THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE FLIPPED YET AGAIN FOR THE MID WEEK
SYSTEM...AT LEAST BOTH HAVE TRENDED IN THE SAME DIRECTION...AND ITS
TOWARDS A FAIRLY COMMON STORM TRACK FOR THE REGION. THIS LENDS SOME
ADDITIONAL CONFIDENCE TO WHAT HAS BEEN A VERY INCONSISTENT STRETCH
FOR THE MODELS. UNFORTUNATELY...TIMING IS STILL OFF BY 6-12 HOURS
BETWEEN THE 12Z RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF.

SYNOPTICALLY...HAVE A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTING THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OHIO RIVER VALLEY WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL KEEP THE
WARM WEDGE IN PLACE ACROSS THE WESTERN SLOPES/LOWLANDS...LEADING TO
MAINLY RAIN TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. RAIN COULD BE MODERATE TO
HEAVY AT TIMES...AND WILL INSERT A MENTION FOR WATER CONCERNS INTO
THE HWO. THE EASTERN SLOPES AND NORTHERN MOUNTAINS COULD SEE A
WINTRY MIX TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY WITH SOME COLD AIR
DAMMING. PRETTY MUCH ALL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS PLACES LIKE MARLINTON
REMAINING ABOVE FREEZING...SO WENT WITH RAIN/SNOW/SLEET INSTEAD OF
FREEZING RAIN...BUT COULD BE A FINE LINE. ALSO THE TIMING
DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS CLOUDY THE PICTURE A BIT IN REGARDS TO
PTYPE FOR THE EASTERN SLOPES.

AS TEMPERATURES COOL WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...WILL SEE
GRADUAL A CHANGE FROM RAIN TO SNOW. SNOW SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO
FRIDAY WITH SOME UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT AND 500MB RIPPLES SLIDING
THROUGH. CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM APPROACHING AT THE END OF THE LONG
TERM.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
06Z SUNDAY THROUGH 06Z MONDAY...

CALM BEFORE THE STORM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. BASED ON
CURRENT RADAR TRENDS IT APPEARS THAT HEAVY RAIN AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL ENTER THE OHIO VALLEY BETWEEN 08Z AND 09Z.
HEAVY RAIN WILL THEN SPREAD FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...LEADING TO LIFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES. HEAVY RAIN WILL
MOVE THROUGH FAIRLY QUICKLY THOUGH...SO BY THIS AFTERNOON
CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE FROM IFR TO MVFR FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST. IFR CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY LINGER HOWEVER IN
MOUNTAINS/EASTERN COUNTIES LONGER.

THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT...GENERALLY IN
THE 12-18Z TIME FRAME...MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WEST
VIRGINIA AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: MEDIUM.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: TIMING OF APPROACHING SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS MAY VARY FROM FORECAST AND ALSO STILL TOO
MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO WHERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR...SO LEFT THEM
OUT OF THE TAFS FOR NOW.

EXPERIMENTAL TABLE OF FLIGHT CATEGORY OBJECTIVELY SHOWS CONSISTENCY
