AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
319 PM EDT FRI APR 14 2006

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...

ONGOING CONVECTION OVER THE FAR EASTERN CWA SHOULD EXIT THE AREA BY
20Z TO BE FOLLOWED MSOTLY CLEAR SKIES THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. 18Z
SOUNDING SHOWS THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS FAIRLY UNSTABLE WITH LI -4.5
AND MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES APPROACHING 7C/KM. WITH PWAT OF ONLY 0.77
MOISTURE REMAINS LIMITED. CANNOT RULE OUT LATE AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT
IN THIS UNSTABLE AIR MASS...BUT BEST CHANCE FOP MORE WIDESPREAD
ACTIVITY LIES WITH THE DEVELOPING MCS OVER OH/IN THIS AFTERNOON.
TRAJECTORY OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT SIMIALR TO LAST NIGHTS
MCS THAT TRAVELED FROM CHI TO RNK CWA OVERNIGHT. SO EXPECT A DECAYING
MCS TO BE APPROACHING THE NORTHERN CWA LATE TONIGHT BUT EXACT PATH
AND TIMING IS UNCERTAIN. HPC QPF NEXT 24-HR RANGES FROM NOTHING IN
PIEDMONT NC TO AROUND 0.50 IN THE FAR NW.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

MCS SHOULD BE ONGOING AT THE START OF THE PERIOD SIMILAR TO THIS
MORNING...HOWEVER EXPECT CLEARING ONCE AGAIN BY EARLY AFTN WITH
TEMPS RECOVERING QUICKLY. WILL LIKELY AGAIN SEE A FEW MORE STORMS
DURING THE AFTN HOURS AS ATM DESTABILIZES ONCE AGAIN AND LEFTOVER
BOUNDARIES HELP FOCUS DEVELOPMENT...HOWEVER DEEP SHEAR VALUES ARE
GREATLY DECREASED COMPARED TO TODAY...SO OVERALL ORGANIZATION MAY BE
A BIT LESS THAN SEEN THIS AFTN.

AS UPR SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED SFC WAVE HEADS SOUTHEAST LATE
SUNDAY...EXPECT FRONTAL BOUNDARY (INITIALLY FORCED SOUTHWARD BY
PREVIOUS CONVECTION) WILL LIFT NORTHWARD THRU THE AREA. WITH PLENTY
OF INSTABILITY IN PLACE...SHOULD SEE SOME MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS
FIRE OFF LATE SUNDAY AFTN...ALTHOUGH BEST CHANCES ACRS THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE CWA AS AREAS FARTHER SOUTH APPEAR CAPPED. SHOULD
CONVECTION DEVELOP...THINGS COULD GET INTERESTING GIVEN PROGGED DEEP
SHEAR VALUES IN EXCESS OF 50 KTS...SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL CAPE ON THE
ORDER OF 150 J/KG...LOW LCL HEIGHTS...AND LOCALLY BACKED FLOW NORTH
OF THE RETREATING BOUNDARY. CERTAINLY SOMETHING TO BE WATCHED...AS
CONVECTION BETWEEN NOW AND THEN COULD AND PROBABLY WILL WREAK HAVOC
WITH THE EVENTUAL LOCATION OF THE BOUNDARY.

COULD SEE SOME FOG EARLY SUNDAY WITH GOOD MOISTURE POOLING ALONG
LIFTING BOUNDARY. TEMPS ON SUNDAY LOOK POTENTIALLY VERY WARM SOUTH
OF THE FRONT...POTENTIALLY BEING THE WARMEST DAY OF THE NEXT FEW FOR
SOME AREAS.

MODEL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN QUITE CONSISTENT WITH ITS DEPICTION OF UPR
WAVE AND ITS ASSOCIATED SFC REFLECTION RIDING ALONG OLD FRONTAL
BOUNDARY INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY. THIS SHOULD BE A
SLOW PROCESS AS THE WAVE RUNS INTO INCREASINGLY CONFLUENT FLOW AIDED
BY DEEPENING COLD VORTEX ACRS QUEBEC INTO FAR NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
ON SUNDAY.

GIVEN PLENTY OF MOISTURE LIKELY TO BE IN PLACE BY THIS TIME (WITH
ADVERTISED PWATS IN EXCESS OF AN INCH) AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE
SYSTEM...SETUP APPEARS FAVORABLE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF PRECIP
ACRS MUCH OF THE REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. IN ADDITION...AS
SFC WAVE PASSES ON MONDAY...IT WILL DRAG A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT THRU
FROM THE NORTH...WITH TEMPS FALLING THRU THE AFTN HOURS. STILL
PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING OF BOUNDARY...HOWEVER WITH PLENTY
OF CLDS IN PLACE AND FLOW TURNING QUICKLY NORTHEAST...WOULD THINK
MONDAY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE QUITE COOL FOR SOME AREAS...PRIMARILY
THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA. HAVE LOWERED GOING NUMBERS FOR THIS
PERIOD TO REFLECT THE POTENTIAL...ALTHOUGH MIGHT NOT BE COOL ENOUGH
SHOULD FRONT COME THRU EARLY IN THE MORNING.

OTHERWISE...EXPECT A CLEARING TREND ON TUES AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
SOUTH INTO THE AREA...ALTHOUGH STILL A COOL DAY AS INFLUENCE OF DEEP
UPR VORTEX TO THE NORTH REMAINS STRONG. UPR RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD
IN ON WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF DEEP CUTOFF SYSTEM PROGRESSING THRU THE
PLAINS/MIDWEST. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS...ALTHOUGH
WITH WARM FRONT APPROACHING IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE UPR SYSTEM STILL
SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT DEGREE OF WARMUP.  SHOWER AND TSTORM CHANCES
CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY AS SYSTEM SLOWLY OPENS UP WHILE PROGRESSING
EASTWARD.

&&

.AVIATION...

MORNING MCS HAS MOVED ON LEAVING VFR CONDS AT ALL TAF SITES.
ATMOSPHERE WILL BE QUITE UNSTABLE WITH NEARLY FULL SUN THIS
AFTERNOON. SLIGHT POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE CONVECTION BUT NOT HIGH
ENOUGH PROBABILITY FOR TAF INCLUSION. MCS FORECAST TO DEVELOP IN
THE MIDWEST THIS AFTERNOON EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE
SRN APPALACHIANS AND MAY AFFECT THE TAF SITES LATER TONIGHT BUT
ONLY PLACED CB IN THE CLOUD GROUP TO REFLECT UNCERTAINTY OF
DEVELOPMENT.
