.SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...

UPDATING ZONES TO REMOVE SVR TSTM WATCH 759 AS ATMOSPHERE HAS
STABILIZED...AND ONLY THREAT REMAINS IS HVY RAINS. MADE
ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS...LEANING TOWARD THE 18Z NAM SOLUTION...WHICH
KEEPS HEAVIEST PRECIP EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE OVERNIGHT...AND
THINKING LESS COVERAGE IN THE FAR WEST. UPPED SKY COVERAGE AS
WELL. NO OTHER CHANGES MADE AT THIS TIME.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
 (ISSUED 748 PM EDT WED AUG 30 2006)

AVIATION...

CONVECTION THIS EVENING ASSOCIATED WITH MID ATLANTIC WAVE/FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AND AN UPPER MISSISSIPPI UPPER LEVEL LOW. THE SHORTWAVE
RIDING ALONG THE BOUNDARY SLOWLY MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST THIS
EVENING. WITH SURFACE WINDS BEING EASTERLY...SW FLOW ALOFT AND
SATURATED ATMOSPHERE...STORMS WILL MOVE SLOW AND PRODUCE HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. WITH LOSE OF HEATING...AREAL COVERAGE OF CONVECTION WILL
DIMINISH BUT SCATTERED CONVECTION STILL POSSIBLE TONIGHT. SOME
AREAS...ROA/LYH/BCB...HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH RAIN THROUGH 23Z WED. THESE
AREAS WILL LIKELY SEE SHRA/TSRA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. EASTERLY FETCH
OFF THE ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP MOISTURE INTO THE AREA AND
HELP LOWER CEILINGS THROUGH SUNRISE. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY
WITH MOUNTAIN RIDGES OBSCURED.

CONVECTION POSSIBILITIES EXIST THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER
WAVE ROUNDS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. HOWEVER...TS ERNESTO COULD ROB THIS
WAVE OF ENERGY AND MOISTURE AND KEEP CONVECTION SCATTERED. THURSDAY

INCREASE CHANCES OF RAIN ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. COULD SEE
SOME VFR CONDITIONS BUT FOR THE MOST PART...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS TO

PREV DISCUSSION...
 (ISSUED 455 PM EDT WED AUG 30 2006)

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...

A COUPLE OF FRONTAL BNDRYS AND AN APPROACHING TROPICAL STORM SYSTEM
MAKING FOR A VERY COMPLICATED WX PTTN ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. FRONT STRETCHED EAST-WEST OVER NC THIS AFTN IS THE
FOCUS FOR TSTMS IN VERY UNSTABLE AIR. VERY LITTLE DRY AIR ALOFT AND
WEAK SHEAR WILL RESULT IN HEAVY RAINERS WITH THE OCCASIONAL WET
DOWNBURST PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS...MAINLY FROM THE NC LINE SOUTH.
TRAINING CELLS WILL ALSO CREATE A THREAT OF ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING.
A SECOND BNDRY WILL DROP THRU NRN VA INTO THE REGION TNGT. MEANWHILE
HIGHLY AMPLITUDE FLOW ALOFT WITH DEEP TROF OVER THE MIDWEST & MS
VALLEY STILL DIGGING SOUTH. WITH THIS...DIFFLUENT FLOW WILL DEVELOP
ALOFT OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN REGION
CREATING A DEFORMATION ZONE ACROSS THE REGION AND A PERSISTENT AREA
OF RAIN. THIS WILL ONLY HELP TO PRIME THE GROUND FOR THE REMNANTS OF
ERNESTO AS IT IS EXPECTED TO TRACK RIGHT UP INTO CENTRAL VIRGINIA ON
FRIDAY. ALL TOTALED...UP TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN COULD EASILY BE SEEN
WITH THE ENTIRE EVENT WITH EVEN HIGHER AMOUNTS ALONG EASTERN SLOPES
OF THE BLUE RIDGE...ESP NORTH OF ROA. WINDS OF 10 TO 25 MPH GUSTING
TO 40 ARE NOT A CONCERN...BUT WITH SATURATED GROUND...THESE WINDS
COULD TOPPLE LARGE TREES.CAUSING POWER OUTAGES.

DEW POINTS THIS AFTERNOON ARE HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE...THEREFORE WENT
A CAT WARMER WITH DEW POINTS AND TONIGHT LOWS. WITH A WARMER START
TO THE MORNING...BUMPED UP THURSDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES AS WELL.
MODELS RUNNING FAST WITH REMNANTS OF ERNESTO MOVING NORTH OF THE
AREA AND THEREFORE WENT WARMER THAN GUIDANCE AS TROPICAL AIR
INCREASES TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS. ONCE REMNANTS MOVE TO THE
NORTH FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...DRIER AIR WILL WORK INTO THE
AREA BUT THE HUMIDITIES MAY REMAIN.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

CRNT MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWS THE REMNANTS OF ERNESTO AND ASSOC
RAINFALL WILL PULL OUT AROUND FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT WITH ANOTHER UPR
LOW DROPPING DOWN INTO THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE
COUNTRY...SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO PULL SHORTWAVES UP
INTO THE FCST AREA. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL BE MUCH MORE SCTD AND
DIURNAL THRU MIDWEEK.

AVIATION...

SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL BE INCREASING THIS AFTN ESP ACROSS THE SOUTH
ALONG AND NEAR FRNTL BNDRY NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER. AS THE FRONT SINKS
SOUTH THIS EVENING...MORE STABLE LOW LVL AIR WILL MOVE IN CREATING
AN INVERSION AND LOW CIGS AND AREAS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN. CIGS
AND VSBYS WILL BE SLOW TO RECOVER TMRW MORNING AS ADDITONAL MOISTR
SURGES INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH OVER THE FRONT.
