    Mesoscale Discussion 2063
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0558 AM CST Mon Dec 27 2021

    Areas affected...Portions of far western MD...western/central
    PA...and far southwestern NY

    Concerning...Freezing rain=20

    Valid 271158Z - 271700Z

    SUMMARY...Freezing rain rates may exceed 0.05 inch per 3 hours
    through the morning, before precipitation gradually transitions to
    rain from west to east this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...A fairly broad area of precipitation is moving eastward
    this morning from eastern OH into western PA and vicinity. This
    activity is being aided by strong warm/moist advection associated
    with a 45-50 kt southwesterly low-level jet over the OH Valley. This
    feature is expected to shift eastward across the central
    Appalachians over the next several hours in tandem with the ongoing precipitation shield. Dry air in the low/mid levels noted on the 00Z
    sounding from PIT still exists across parts of western/central PA
    and vicinity. But, gradual moistening of the low levels will occur
    this morning with light to moderate precipitation continuing to
    overspread this region. Surface temperatures are generally below
    freezing, and wet bulb cooling will likely aid in sub-freezing
    temperatures being maintained through much of the morning,
    especially across higher terrain. A warm nose aloft associated with
    the strong low-level warm advection will likely support partial to
    total melting of hydrometeors. An initial mix of snow/sleet should
    transition fairly quickly to mostly freezing rain this morning.
    Freezing rain rates around 0.05 inch per 3 hours may occur, with
    locally greater rates possible in higher terrain. The freezing rain
    should gradually transition to rain from west to east from late
    morning into the early afternoon.
