.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Changes for the late aftn update included the insertion of a freezing
rain mention for areas east of I 79 given some initial reports south
of I 70 as well as a model trend of strong warm advection support for
that scenario. Overnight totals for those areas will likely be
degraded a bit given the retardation of dendritic growth.
Nevertheless, deformation on Monday will support continued and
prolonged snowfall, so snow totals remain the dominant feature of
this event.
Elsewhere, the expected frontogenetic band with 1-2 inch/hour rates
is also likely to be shunted slightly westward and a storm total
tweak was completed for that eventuality.
Gusty wind is expected to develop in the eastern WV ridges on
Monday, and will likely result in blowing snow and lowered
visibility.
