   Areas affected...Parts of southern Ohio into northern West Virginia

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 060339Z - 060745Z

   SUMMARY...Heavy snow in the vicinity of Wilmington, OH will spread
   eastward into West Virginia tonight. Snowfall rates around 1 inch
   per hour possible.

   DISCUSSION...Strong ascent from a potent 850 mb jet as well as an
   approaching shortwave trough will promote efficient dendritic growth
   and snowfall rates of around 1 inch per hour tonight. Recent
   observation from Lebanon, OH in conjunction with KILN radar data
   suggest moderate snow with embedded heavier pockets is occurring.
   Snowfall is primarily focused north of the Ohio River (per KILN
   dual-pol data) and the expectation is for that to continue. These
   heavier snowfall rates will eventually shift eastward into West
   Virginia.
