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.
