MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 2214
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1255 AM CST THU DEC 13 2007

AREAS AFFECTED...NRN OH...WRN/SCENTRAL PA...FAR NRN WV/WRN MARYLAND

CONCERNING...WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION

VALID 130655Z - 131230Z

A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN/SLEET AND MODERATE SNOW WILL DEVELOP NWD
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH 12Z. HRLY ACCUMULATIONS RATES UP TO 0.05
INCH LIQUID WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY TOWARDS 12Z.

LATEST RADAR MOSAIC SHOWS A BROAD AREA OF RAIN MOVING NEWD THROUGH
THE OHIO VALLEY. AT 06Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS THE SFC FREEZING LINE
EXTENDING FROM NEAR FINDLAY OH SEWD TO NEAR PIT AND INTO FAR WRN MD.
STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL WAA NOTED BY 1-2 MB/HR PRESSURE FALLS OVER
CENTRAL IND/WRN OH /AIDED BY A 50 KT LOW LEVEL JET/ WILL SUPPORT THE
CONTINUED RAPID NEWD DEVELOPMENT OF PRECIPITATION INTO AREAS THAT
ARE BELOW FREEZING OVER THE NEXT 6 HRS. A FAIRLY DEEP DRY SUB-CLOUD
AIRMASS FROM THE SFC TO NEAR 700 MB WILL INITIALLY LIMIT
ACCUMULATIONS/RATES...BUT AS THE STRONGEST WAA OVERSPREADS THE
REGION BETWEEN 09-12Z...SUFFICIENT SATURATION IS EXPECTED TO ENHANCE
PRECIP RATES. DESPITE THE STRENGTH IN THE WAA...WET BULB EFFECTS
SHOULD AID IN A SLOW SWD MOVEMENT OF THE LOCATION OF THE 06Z SFC
FREEZING LINE. THE DEPTH OF THE ELEVATED WARM LAYER WILL BE GREATEST
OVER MOST OF NRN OH...FAR NRN WV/SWRN PA AND WRN MD WHERE FREEZING
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO BE THE PREDOMINANT P-TYPE THROUGH 12Z. FURTHER
NE...OVER FAR NERN OH...MOST OF WRN AND SCENTRAL PA A MIX OF SLEET
AND OR MODERATE SNOW IS EXPECTED BETWEEN 10-12Z WHERE THE ELEVATED
WARM LAYER WILL BE MORE LIMITED OR NON-EXISTENT.
