WHAT HAS CHANGED
More details ironed out for next round of wintry precipitation Sunday night through Monday. Increasing potential for some water issues by middle of next week.
KEY MESSAGES
- 1) Mild and dry today ahead of active weather returning Sunday.
- 2) Wintry weather returns Sunday night through Monday. Light snow and ice accumulations are expected
- 3) Flooding may become an issue by mid week with warming temperatures leading to snow melt and disturbances bringing rounds of rainfall.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
High pressure remains intact for most of today, even with a dry cold front crossing later today. Conditions will be dry and temperatures will be comfortable. Most of the lowlands will rise into the low to mid 60s, and if not then well into the 50s under mostly clear conditions and light winds. The mountains can expect to get into the 50s.
Active weather returns Sunday with chances of rain and maybe some snow showers across the mountains from a stalled front.
KEY MESSAGE 2...
A low pressure system will create some winter weather woes Sunday night through Monday. Models are starting to agree on a track, but still differ on amounts and timing. Most of the impacts will remain to our north, but a messy Monday morning commute is still expected with a menagerie of p-types expected from this disturbance.
Timing for this system will be late Sunday night with snow and wintry mix overspreading the area from SW to NE. A warm nose will move in across the lowlands by late Monday morning forcing a change over to all rain. Otherwise, snow or rain/snow mix will persist through the day Monday across the northern lowlands of WV and OH as well as the mountain regions. A change over to freezing rain looks to occur Monday night into Tuesday across the mountains before changing over to all rain.
Current thinking is less than an inch across the lowlands and the lower elevations of the mountains Monday morning. 1-3 inches is expected for the higher ridges of the northeastern mountains. A glaze to a couple hundredths of an inch of ice accretion may be possible across the mountains (McDowell up to Pocahontas/Randolph) late Monday into Tuesday. Certainly could see some minor impacts to the Monday commutes and possibly the Tuesday morning commute.
Lower confidence in ice amounts at this time and medium confidence for snow amounts. Timing needs to be more concise amongst models for confidence to increase. The GFS still remains bullish, starting this event earliest and adding an inch or two to the current totals. This solution keeps colder temperatures longer and brings the shortwave disturbance right across our area leading to some possible stripes of higher amounts in the lowlands.
The in-betweener EURO and Canadian models show similar timing, path, and amounts. These models show precipitation onset around 6-9am which in turn leads to less snowfall across much of the area given warming temperatures during the day.
Lastly, the NAM is finally in range to cover most of the event.
This model is the most conservative with the latest timing and keeps the accumulations in the mountains.
KEY MESSAGE 3...
Tuesday onward looks wet and active with a warming trend in place. Models agree in multiple waves of low pressure moving across the area during the week. Daily chances of rainfall are expected with likely PoPs present Tuesday night into Wednesday.
WPC has placed a Day 5(Tuesday into Wednesday) marginal risk for excessive rainfall across our OH and KY counties as well as a good chunk of our WV counties. Outside of this, localized to minor flooding could be possible with snow melt and the daily chances for rainfall.
A warming trend also looks to occur Tuesday into next weekend.
The lowlands may see some upper 70s come Friday and Saturday with a stout area of high pressure over the SE CONUS.
AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
VFR will be widespread through the period with SKC or FEW clouds expected for all sites. EKN may see some IFR/LIFR valley fog this morning though as they decouple, but a dry cold front approaching from the west may hinder this process with proper ventilation aloft.
Winds will be calm for most sites this morning, except for BKW which will likely hold a steady SE'rly wind. West to northwest winds will gradually increase during the day today with the FROPA, but will remain light.
