    Mesoscale Discussion 0098
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0316 AM CST Tue Feb 12 2019

    Areas affected...Portions of eastern WV...western VA...much of
    northern MD...PA...and far western NY

    Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation

    Valid 120916Z - 121515Z

    SUMMARY...Freezing rain rates up to 0.10 inch per hour will be
    possible, especially in higher terrain. A wintry mix of snow, sleet,
    and freezing rain appears likely across parts of PA into far western
    NY through 15Z. The snow and sleet may be heavy at times.

    DISCUSSION...Generally light, showery precipitation ongoing at 09Z
    across parts of the Mid-Atlantic should gradually increase in
    coverage and intensity through the morning as an upper trough
    approaches from the west. Surface observations across eastern WV and
    western VA show temperatures generally between 30-32F. Light
    freezing rain should remain possible across this region for the next
    couple of hours, although any substantial accretion will probably be
    limited to the highest elevations of the Appalachians due to the
    marginal surface temperatures. A shallow sub-freezing layer across
    much of northern MD into PA and far western NY will be slow to erode
    this morning as surface high pressure remains in place over New
    England and Quebec. A weak (+1 to +2C) warm nose around 850 mb
    should develop slowly northward, and freezing rain rates up to 0.10
    inch/hour will be possible, especially in northern MD and parts of western/central PA. A wintry mix of snow and sleet should occur on
    the northeastern edge of the precipitation shield where temperatures
    in the surface to 850 mb layer should remain at or below freezing.
    The snow and sleet may become heavy at times (snowfall rates up to 1
    inch/hour and sleet rates of 0.1 to 0.25 inch/hour) as the
    large-scale forcing for ascent associated with the upper trough
    overspreads this region.
