MD 0017 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN OHIO INTO NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0017
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0939 PM CST Sun Jan 05 2025
Areas affected...Parts of southern Ohio into northern West Virginia
Concerning...Heavy snow
Valid 060339Z - 060745Z
SUMMARY...Heavy snow in the vicinity of Wilmington, OH will spread
eastward into West Virginia tonight. Snowfall rates around 1 inch
per hour possible.
DISCUSSION...Strong ascent from a potent 850 mb jet as well as an
approaching shortwave trough will promote efficient dendritic growth
and snowfall rates of around 1 inch per hour tonight. Recent
observation from Lebanon, OH in conjunction with KILN radar data
suggest moderate snow with embedded heavier pockets is occurring.
Snowfall is primarily focused north of the Ohio River (per KILN
dual-pol data) and the expectation is for that to continue. These
heavier snowfall rates will eventually shift eastward into West
Virginia.
