landof2rivers Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 As a northern border county, I’ve read that those counties should see the best possibility of snow, sleet, zr My high temp today was 45 or 46, car said one, house said one. Clouds were lurking most of the day and finally settled in early to mid afternoon. its now close to 8 pm, and my temp shows 43.2 at the house. No precipitation so far and I’m wondering if we see anything but rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjwise Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0111 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1126 PM CST Tue Feb 19 2019 Areas affected...Eastern WV...Western VA Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 200526Z - 200930Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow is expected to spread northeast along the WV/VA border over the next several hours. Snow rates will likely approach 1" per hour before precipitation changes to sleet. DISCUSSION...Strong low-level warm advection appears to be the primary contributor in a large canopy of precipitation that has developed across the OH Valley into the central Appalachians late this evening. LLJ is currently focused over TN but will strengthen and translate across KY into WV by sunrise. Large-scale forcing for ascent is expected to increase downstream across WV into western VA over the next few hours and this is reflected well in an expansive precip shield now spreading east of the higher terrain. Leading edge of this activity will fall as snow with rates likely approaching/exceeding 1" per hour. Forecast soundings for this region suggest substantial warming will switch snow to sleet across the southwestern half of the MCD area by 09z while the eastern WV Panhandle and northwestern VA should remain as snow through 12z. ..Darrow.. 02/20/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
