WHAT HAS CHANGED
We have one more frigid night tonight with arctic high pressure nosing down from the north providing optimal mid-winter radiative conditions per clear sky, light wind and snowpack, particularly for northeast portions of the area.
KEY MESSAGES
- 1) One last Frigid night is on tap, with widespread single digit lows for all but far southern/southwestern portions of the area, single digits lows below zero in the normally colder low spots away from rivers in northern/northeastern portions of the area, even isolated double digit lows below zero in the normally coldest sheltered northern mountain valleys.
- 2) Heading into the new work week, improving temperatures will mitigate any need for cold headlines after a significant run of dangerously cold weather that has been in place since late January.
- 3) The work week starts off dry amid high pressure, but turns active for midweek and beyond with a series of passing disturbances.
DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
Arctic high pressure north of the area noses down into northern WV much of the night, before easing off to the east toward dawn. This will lead to ideal radiative cooling conditions, with clear, calm conditions overtop of snowpack, particularly for northern and northeastern portions of the area, and especially for those better-sheltered northern mountain valleys.
Lowered lows in these areas to include single-digit lows below zero in the normally colder sports across the north and especially northeast, even dipping into the double digits below zero in the normally coldest elevated mountain valleys in northern Randolph and northern Pocahontas Counties. While this touches upon Cold Weather Advisory criteria based on ambient air temperature alone, the isolated nature of it, together with lesser-isolated negative single-digit lows, may be handled with a Special Weather Statement.
Southern/southwestern portions of the area will have a pressure gradient on the back side of the high creeping in overnight which will become a factor before dawn, especially with the help of an altocumulus deck associated with mid-level warm advection creeping in as well.
KEY MESSAGE 2...
A moderation in temperatures is anticipated to take shape after one last cold night tonight due to close proximity of arctic high pressure. Despite overnight temperatures bottoming out in the single digits, light column flow will not impose wind chills that would rival Cold Weather Advisories/Extreme Cold Warning thresholds that have been surpassed numerous times so far this winter season. Therefore, no cold headlines are necessary for tonight into Monday morning.
The aforementioned warm up will begin to make its appearance on Monday as the center of the surface high departs eastward and low level flow shifts out of the south. A warm front loitering through the Tennessee Valley will make its way northward into the Central Appalachians on Tuesday, prompting high temperatures Tuesday afternoon to rise up towards the upper 50s/low 60s across the lowlands and 40s/50s along the mountains. After a tease of warm temperatures, a cold front swings through for midweek and returns us to near climatological norms for this time of year.
NOHRSC analysis of the current snowpack indicates a liquid equivalent ranging generally between 0.30 and 0.70 inches across the lower elevations to nearly an inch across the higher terrain. While the power of the February sun was evident even amid the cold weather on Saturday, light winds, dew points holding below 50 F and only light rainfall should bolster a gradual snowmelt and not a rapid flush melt through Tuesday night.
KEY MESSAGE 3...
A clipper system progressing through the area at the time of writing will quickly depart southward as surface high pressure regains control over the area by this evening. Surrounding 12Z soundings from this morning showed a stout inversion and a dry low level profile. This has helped to prevent the passing system from producing accumulating snow showers and have contained precipitation to only brief flurries.
Dry weather then returns for the start of the work week as we remain nestled beneath the surface high.
As mentioned above in Key Message 1, a warm and cold front combination tracks through the region Tuesday into Wednesday.
This sets the stage for the return of active weather as a series of shortwaves venturing along the stalled cold front brings a variety of precipitation types into the Central Appalachians.
Daily chances for showers arises for midweek onward, with oscillating temperatures imposing a combination of rain and snow through the end of the valid forecast period.
With just the one above normal day on Tuesday, above freezing days and below freezing nights, coupled with mainly light precipitation events, will initiate an orderly melt of the snowpack through the week. Even with the controlled melt rate, one thing to watch for is the risk for ice jams along local rivers that currently have a significant amount of river ice, and this will require continued vigilance.
AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
VFR conditions prevail this period amid an arctic air mass that sits firmly in place through the overnight and into Monday morning, and then vacates the area.
Mid level warm advection was already bringing a middeck along the Tug Fork. This will dissipate tonight but then return there early Monday morning, and then move northeastward across the area during the day, lowering to high stratocumulus in low/mid- level warm advection by then.
On this frigid night, did code up 6SM in smoke at EKN around dawn Monday.
Surface flow will be calm to light east to southeast. Light north to northwest flow aloft tonight will become light west to southwest early Monday.
