THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BLACKSBURG HAS ISSUED A
FLASH FLOOD WARNING EFFECTIVE UNTIL  945 PM EDT
FOR THE FOLLOWING COUNTY...
 
IN SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA
 
   ...WESTERN BEDFORD COUNTY
 
DOPPLER RADAR INDICATES EXTREMELY HEAVY RAINFALL MOVING INTO WESTERN

EXPECTED. RESIDENTS SHOULD BE EXTREMELY ALERT FOR FLOODED ROADWAYS AND
RAPIDLY RISING WATER.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

240 PM EDT WED JUN 28 1995

RECOMMENDATIONS...
CRW AND RDU...RAISE POPS IN LATER PERIODS.

ALL...CONTINUE THE FFA/S THAT ARE ALREADY POTED.

DISCUSSION...
CUD NOT GET ANY GRIDDED DATA- PROBABLY WOULDN/T HV HAD TIME TO LOOK
AT IT ANYWAY. MODELS ALL IND THE UPPER LOW/SHORT WV WL BEGIN TO LIFT
SLOOOOWLY OUT FRI OR SAT. UPPER FLOW REMAINS WEAK INTO FRI...SO
TSTMS WILL CONT TO BE SLOW MOVERS. STILL PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND A SE
FLOW THRU THU...SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE/LL REMAIN UNDER THE GUN (OR WATER
CANNON).

17Z ANALYSIS SHOWS BACKDOOR FNT STILL ACROSS CEN VA- THO IT IS HARD
TO FIND. THIS FNT SEEMS TO HV BEEN A FOCUS FOR SOME OF THE HEAVIER
TRIAN ECHO RAINFALL...SUCH AS IN ROCKBRIDGE CO. OHP AND STP SHOWS
WHAT LOOKS LIKE A CONVERGENT PATTERN RIGHT INTO THE WEST CEN
HIGHLANDS OF VA. WUD HATE TO SEE IT...BUT WE CUD HV SOME MORE FLASH
FLOODING IN THAT AREA LATE THIS AFT/THIS EVE~.

POPS LOOK A LITTLE LOW TO ME- I THINK LIKELY POPS BOTH THU AND FRI
WUD BE GOOD.
