Some of the Pittsburgh TV weather folks are suggesting that we are in for a
major ice storm. This is not entirely the case.

I?ve heard this often enough today that I wanted to send out more accurate
information. Therefore I am sending the following to all three ham radio
club lists.

>From the NWS Pittsburgh:

Here are rough ideas of the onset and end time of icing.

Surface temperatures will of course be key as the precipitation approaches
this evening.

Here's where we are now. As you can see, we've already got temperatures
near or below 30 basically north of I-70 and the ridges of North Central WV
which is not coincidentally where most of the freezing rain is expected.

*Note that from the Pittsburgh metro on south, the period of freezing rain
is currently forecast to be fairly brief*. Further north and east (where
southeast flow will allow surface cold air to linger longer), a longer
period of ice accretion is expected.

See the attached graphics.

Message-ID: <CAAoba33d8C4HJRcDAdzev1w0G+8stv0_xy=+vcOxHg=UzhnMXQ@mail.gmail.com>

A warning from the NWS Pittsburgh came in after I went to bed last night.
They were warning about flooding occurring on the Cheat River in
Rowlesburg.

It is possible that the Cheat River has subsided by now. However, I am
sending this report out in case it hasn?t.

*SkYWARN Net stations in Preston County, I am monitoring the W8MWA
two-meter repeater at this time. If you have any reports related to
flooding please contact me. *

>From the NWS Pittsburgh:

The Cheat at Rowlesburg just crept over flood stage of 16 feet so we've put
out a flood warning. Based on upstream gauges, it shouldn't rise much more
and we think it will crest right around 16.1 feet overnight tonight before
falling back below flood stage by the morning.

See the attached graphic.

Hi, Jan:

On Wednesday, March 5th, a longtime employee of The Heath Company (you may
have heard of them) is scheduled to present a program at the clubhouse of
the Uniontown ARC.  If the weather is favorable, he'll be there in person,
as he would like to see all of the Heathkits we have in the museum.  If the
weather is nasty, then it will be remote.

I'm letting you know as a way to invite interested MWA members, who might
want to visit with us.  Please pass the word and ask that they RSVP, so
that we know how many to expect..

Best regards,
Cory

As a supplement to the Urgent Weather Message that I just forwarded, the
NWS has compiled three graphics that do a good job describing the upcoming
weather. Please see the attached graphics.

Much of the upcoming weather concerns the higher elevations in North
Central West Virginia. However, there is uncertainty about Morgantown and
Fairmont as the track of the storm is not yet clear.

Also note that the NWS has begun to hint about a third winter storm that
may hit the area this weekend.

Stay tuned?

During yesterday evening?s Mon County ARES Net, Jim, KC8YUI, commented that
I have sent out some 40 winter weather related emails. The number surprised
me, but I realize that we are indeed having a very active winter in terms
of weather conditions.

When the NWS Pittsburgh or NWS Charleston WV issue a Special Weather
Statement or an Urgent Message or a Winter Storm Warning for North Central
West Virginia I want to make sure that I send it to you. And there have
been a lot of them this winter!

And now here we go again?from the NWS Pittsburgh:

An active week of weather is ahead with each system offering different
impacts for portions of North Central West Virginia.

The latest: - Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisory for snow
accumulations in effect for Tuesday into early Wednesday in the higher
terrain locations. - Winter Storm Watch in effect Wednesday afternoon into
Thursday morning for eastern Tucker County with the threat of freezing
rain. - Additional wintry weather is possible this weekend, but uncertainty
remains high on favored areas of impact and system totals.

While there are currently no Warnings or Advisories for Morgantown and
Fairmont. However, both cities can expect to see 2 to 4 inches of
accumulation from this first storm. Snow is likely to start falling this
morning and continue throughout the day.

Please see the attached graphics.

901 PM EST Sat Feb 15 2025

Areas affected..Marion-Monongalia-Ridges of Eastern Monongalia-Northwestern
Preston-Preston-Eastern Preston-Western Tucker-Eastern Tucker-

Including the cities of Hazelton, Morgantown, Thomas, Hendricks, Canaan
Valley, Kingwood, Rowlesburg, Fairmont, Coopers Rock, and Terra Alta

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

Valid 160200Z - 160800Z

SUMMARY...Locally significant and life-threatening flash flooding will
continue into the overnight hours with additional Flash Flood Emergency
level impacts possible from additional rounds of heavy rainfall, with the
central Appalachians continuing to see the greatest risk of this.

DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery continues to show an expansive area
of heavy rainfall impacting areas of mainly northeast KY through North
Central WV and down into areas of south-central VA. This this will yield
heavy rainfall rates generally in the 0.25" to 0.50"/hour range with some
occasionally heavier rates.

Going into the overnight hours, rainfall rates should still be capable of
reaching 0.50+"/hour. Additional rains of as much as 1 to 2 inches will be
possible over the next 6 hours.

Given the additional rainfall and ongoing widespread focus of areal
flooding and flash flooding, significant and life-threatening flash
flooding is likely to continue with additional potential for Flash Flood
Emergency level impacts. This will especially be the case over portions of
the central Appalachians where there have already been a total of 4 Flash
Flood Emergencies issued since early this afternoon.


...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING...


* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be  possible.


* WHERE...Portions of North Central West Virginia  including the following
areas, Eastern Preston, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, Ridges of Eastern
Monongalia and Northwestern Preston, Western Tucker and Wetzel.


* WHEN...Through Sunday evening.


* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks,
streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams
may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban
areas.


* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - One and one quarter to two inches of rain is expected through Sunday.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...


You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to
take action should flooding develop.

*Note*:  Sunday is forecast to be a very active weather day. Due to the
hazards noted below by the NWS Pittsburgh, the North Central West Virginia
Skywarn Net will be activated this morning.

We will be taking flooring reports, road condition reports and, later this
afternoon snowfall reports.

The NC WV Skywarn Net will initially activate in *Standby* Mode at 07:00
EST. Please monitor the W8MWA two-meter repeater today and participate as
much as possible.

>From the NWS Pittsburg:

Another mixed bag of weather hazards is expected today.

1) Flooding concerns linger into the morning.

2) Wind concerns along and behind a cold front today and tonight.

3) Flash freeze potential behind the cold front this afternoon.

4) Snow expected this afternoon through the overnight period.

5) Wind and snow conditions make for blowing snow, and even blizzard
conditions for the high terrain of West Virginia this afternoon through
early Monday.

As for winds, the high wind watch has been replaced with a wind advisory.
See below for the chances of gusts exceeding 45mph for the ridges. Chances
maximize at 50% to 70% for the highest terrain from this afternoon through
overnight. Eastern Tucker has the best chance at high-wind warning
criteria, but the blizzard warning remains all-encompassing for snow and
wind hazards.

1051 AM EST Wed Feb 19 2025

...Light Snow Expected into this Afternoon...

A low pressure system tracking south today will still provide a short
period of light snow over southern Preston and Tucker county on the
northern end of the low.

Expect the potential for around an inch. The higher terrain may see
slightly higher amounts with around 2 inches through this afternoon
and early evening.

With the cold air in place and left over snow, there will likely be a
few impacts to roads conditions.

The attached photo shows how it looks out there currently along US 219 in
Tucker County. As we've been expecting, this batch of snow will stay south
