THE SKY IS CLOUDY THIS MORNING WITH SCATTERED LIGHT PRECIPITATION IN
THE FORM OF SNOW AND FREEZING DRIZZLE. TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE

UPSLOPE NORTHWEST FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS AND A LARGE UPPER LEVEL

A SERIES OF UPPER DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH WITHIN THE LARGER

EVENING WEATHER SUMMARY FOR THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND MIDDLE OHIO
VALLEY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
945 PM EST SAT JAN 17 2009
A MOSTLY CLOUDY SKY WAS OBSERVED ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. A FEW
FLURRIES WERE NOTED OVER THE MOUNTAINS. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 30S
ACROSS THE SOUTH...WITH 20S OBSERVED OVER THE NORTH.
THE EVENING WEATHER MAP SHOWED THE LARGE ARCTIC HIGH REPRESENTING
THE CENTER OF THE ARCTIC AIR MASS JUST OFF THE EAST COAST. A WARM
FRONT STRETCHED FROM A LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER CENTRAL
WISCONSIN...SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH INDIANA AND THEN SOUTHWESTERN OHIO
AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY. A COLD FRONT STRETCHED FROM THE SAME LOW
SOUTHWESTWARD...INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE AIR MASS BEHIND
THE FRONT...WHILE COLD...WAS NOT QUITE AS COLD AS THE ARCTIC AIR NOW
ON ITS WAY OUT OF THE AREA.
THE WARM FRONT WILL PUSH EASTWARD THROUGH OUR AREA THIS
EVENING...PLACING THE AREA IN THE WARM SECTOR OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY
MORNING. THIS IS WHEN WE EXPECT OUR HIGHEST TEMPERATURES. AFTER THE
TWO DAY PLUS DEEP FREEZE...TEMPERATURES WILL ACTUALLY CLIMB ABOVE
THE FREEZING MARK OVERNIGHT TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE
LOWLANDS...THE EXCEPTION BEING EAST CENTRAL OHIO INTO NORTHWESTERN
WEST VIRGINIA INCLUDING PARKERSBURG. ANY PRECIPITATION THAT MOVES
INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW BECAUSE THE AIR
ENOUGH WILL REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY COLD.
THE PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR MAINLY ON ACCOUNT OF THE APPROACH OF
THE COLD FRONT SO THE BEST CHANCE IS LATE TONIGHT AND ON INTO
SUNDAY. THE COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING...SO
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY SETTLE BACK BELOW FREEZING
SUNDAY...ALTHOUGH IT MAY TAKE UNTIL AFTERNOON TO DO SO. AREAS THAT
DO NOT CRACK FREEZING WILL HAVE TEMPERATURES SETTLING BACK INTO
AND/OR THROUGH THE 20S.
UPSLOPE NORTHWEST FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS AND A LARGE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH SET UP OVER THE AREA LATE SUNDAY AND THEN PERSIST THROUGH
MONDAY AND THEN RIGHT ON INTO TUESDAY. THIS WILL KEEP SNOW SHOWERS
AROUND DURING THIS PERIOD. OF COURSE...IT WILL NOT SNOW ALL THE
TIME...AND AMOUNTS WILL NOT AMOUNT TO MUCH THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD.
SMALLER DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH WITHIN THE LARGER TROUGH ALOFT
WILL HELP TO FOCUS TIMES WHEN THE CHANCE FOR SNOW IS GREATEST. ONE
SUCH DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY
EVENING...AND ANOTHER MOVES THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING. THERE MAY EVEN BE A THIRD ONE IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO THAT
COMES THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES DURING THIS PERIOD WILL
BE MAINLY IN THE 20S BY DAY AND TEENS BY NIGHT...WITH SOME SINGLE
DIGIT BUT ABOVE ZERO LOWS IN THE MOUNTAINS.
LOOKING FURTHER INTO NEXT WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS A PERIOD OF
DRY WEATHER FOR MIDWEEK...TO INCLUDE A BIT OF A THAW. THE NEXT COLD
FRONT ARRIVES NEAR THE END OF THE WORK WEEK...FOLLOWED BY MORE COLD
WEATHER FOR NEXT WEEKEND.
