Mesoscale Discussion 0091
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0144 PM CST Mon Feb 15 2021
Areas affected...northeastern Kentucky...southern/eastern
Ohio...western/central Pennsylvania...northern West Virginia
Concerning...Freezing rain
Valid 151944Z - 160145Z
SUMMARY...Precipitation will expand from southwest to northeast
across the discussion area. 0.05 to 0.10 inch per 3-hour
accumulations of freezing rain are expected.
DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic imagery continues to indicate an expanding
precipitation shield across the majority of the state of Kentucky
atop a shallow, sub-freezing airmass. The precipitation continues
to outpace northeastward-movement of most model guidance outside of
certain CAMS (Nam3, HRRR). These CAMS indicate continued
northeastward progression of icing (freezing rain and some sleet)
into Ohio/northern West Virginia over the next hour or so and
southwestern Pennsylvania after around 22Z or so. Upstream
observations have indicated localized precipitation rates ranging as
high as 0.05 to 0.10 inch per hour in heavier bands/convective
elements, and the expectation is that this will continue with
northeastward extent across the discussion area over the next 6
hours. At least 3-6 hours of icing is expected areawide.
Additionally, a few areas of sleet (or even snow) are expected to
mix in with freezing rain - especially across the northern extent of
the discussion area where deeper cold air is present.
