Area forecast discussion, Jul 28, 9:40 PM EDT, 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
940 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2005

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)...

LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN
COUNTY WARNING AREA (CWA) IS ENTERING THE PART OF THE CWA WITH THE
LOWEST LIFTED INDEXES AND HIGHEST CAPES. BUT EXPECT STORMS TO
WEAKEN BETWEEN DAN AND LYH AS THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE INTO MORE
STABLE AIR. STILL A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES ALONG THE STALLED FRONT
TO OUR SOUTH SO DONT EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO COMPLETELY DIE OFF
OVERNIGHT. NO CHANGES NEEDED AT THIS TIME FOR TEMPERATURES AND
WINDS.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 749 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2005)

AVIATION...

ONE CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WESTERN COUNTY
WARNING AREA WILL CROSS ROA BETWEEN 01-03Z AND WILL LOWER THE CIGS
AND VSBYS TO MVFR LEVELS. A LINE OF STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS IS ALSO
APPROACHING FROM NORTH CAROLINA AND IS EXPECTED TO REACH DAN
AROUND 03Z...RESULTING IN MVFR TO IFR CONDTITIONS. DUE TO LIGHT
WINDS AND HIGH AMOUNTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...MVFR FOG WILL FORM
AGAIN OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER VSBYS AND CIGS AT LWB WL BE LFR TO LIFR
AFT 08Z. MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AGAIN FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 301 PM EDT THU JUL 28 2005)

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...

WAVE FORMING ALONG SURFACE BOUNDARY DRAPED DOWN ACROSS THE CENTRAL
CAROLINAS TO INTENSITY LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING. BOTH 12Z NAM
AND GFS MODELS PAINTING BULLSEYE OF SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION TOWARD
SOUTHSIDE VA/NW NC PIEDMONT TONIGHT. THINKING THIS FEEDBACK PROBLEM
WITH MODELS HAS TO DO WITH OVER INTENSIFICATION OF WAVE LEADING TO
STRONGER MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND HIGHER PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES.
WITH THAT IN MIND...WILL CUT BACK ON RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVERNIGHT
WHILE GOING WITH LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS AND MENTION HEAVY RAIN
THIS EVENING.

MODELS DIFFER ON SOLUTION INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. NAM PUSHING FRONT AND
PCPN TO THE EAST COAST AS WAVE MOVES NORTH FRIDAY EVENING. GFS KEEPS
BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL VA/NC WITH ANOTHER WAVE TRACKING THROUGH
EASTERN CWA THEN FINALLY PUSHES FRONT AND PCPN TO THE EAST COAST ON
SATURDAY. BASED ON MODEL JET STRUCTURE...GFS MAYBE RIGHT.  THEN
AGAIN NAM COULD BE RIGHT WITH WESTERLY FLOW FOLLOWING WAVE PASSAGE.
WILL TAKE A COMPRISE BETWEEN THESE TWO MODELS SOLUTIONS KEEPING
HIGHEST POPS TOWARD SE CWA.

WITH LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS IN THE AREA...DAYTIME HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL BY 10 OR SO DEGREES. THICKENING
CLOUD COVER OVERNIGHT WILL RESULT IN LITTLE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE
DROP...THEREFORE OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL.

LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

UPPER LEVEL PATTERN TO REMAIN RATHER STAGNANT OVER THE WEEKEND AND
INTO NEXT WEEK...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER WESTERN USA...TROUGH ACROSS
THE OH/TN/S MS VALLEY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OFF THE SE COAST/BERMUDA.
THE TROUGH AND SE COASTAL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING MOISTURE IN
FROM THE GULF TO THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS. LOWER LEVELS WILL SEE
MORE DRY AIR ADVECTING IN FROM THE NORTHEAST. THE FOCUS FOR PCPN
WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE POSITION OF ANY SURFACE FRONT AND WAVES
RIDING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. CURRENT FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TO THE
EAST COAST TODAY THEN EVENTUALLY WASHOUT BY MONDAY. A SECOND FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE AREA BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...BUT
WITH STAGNANT PATTERN...NOT EXPECTING FRONT TO ENTER THE REGION.
WITH TODAYS SURFACE FRONT SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...BEST CHC FOR SCT SHOWERS WILL BE ALONG THE NC/VA BORDER.
ALSO...TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER THAN NORMAL AS NORTHEASTERLY FLOW
CONTINUES TO FILTER IN SOME COOLER AIR. ONCE FRONT WASHES OUT AND
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WEAKENS BY MID WEEK...TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO
NORMAL.
