AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
120 AM EDT SUN JUN 11 2006

.AVIATION...

WAVES TO TRACK ALONG A BOUNDARY WHICH IS DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CORFIDI VECTORS AND AREAS OF HIGHER
INSTABILITIES SUGGEST BULK OF CONVECTION TO STAY SOUTH OF THE AREA
AND INTO THE CAROLINA TONIGHT. HOWEVER...SHOWERS WITH SCATTERED
CONVECTION STILL POSSIBLE FOR THE AREA...ESPECIALLY THE MOUNTAINS
SITES. MAJORITY WILL SEE VFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT WITH MVFR
VISIBILITIES AND CLOUDS IN HEAVIER SHOWERS.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ANOTHER WAVE TO RUMBLE THROUGH THE
AREA. HEATING WILL INCREASE INSTABILITIES FOR THE AREA...THEREFORE
CHANCES FOR STRONGER CONVECTION HIGHER IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
 (ISSUED 838 PM EDT SAT JUN 10 2006)

SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...

SHOWERS/TSRA WEAKENING AS THEY CROSS THE NC BLUE RIDGE WITH LIGHT
SHOWERS EXITING THE SOUTHSIDE VA AREA. UPSTREAM...A BATCH OF SHRA
OVER SRN OH PROGGED TO MOVE INTO THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT. KEEPING
POPS HIGH IN THE WEST LATE TONIGHT...SHOULD SEE A GENERALLY NW TO
SE BAND OF SHRA. COOLED TEMPS A FEW DEGREES BASED ON CURRENT OBS
AND DEWPOINTS...BUT CLOUDS SHOULD PREVENT IT FROM FALLING TOO FAR.

PREV DISCUSSION...
 (ISSUED 735 PM EDT SAT JUN 10 2006)

AVIATION...UPDATED.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL LOWER TO MVFR CONDITIONS IN CLOUDS AND
CONVECTION TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE OHIO VALLEY WILL DROP SOUTHEAST INTO OUR AREA TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY. THE BEST CHANCE OF CONVECTION WILL OCCUR IN THE WESTERN
MOUNTAINS. LOW CLOUDS WILL PERSIST OVER THE MOUNTAINS WITH MVFR
CEILINGS AT BLF AND LWB CONTINUING INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON. MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS ARE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY.

PREV DISCUSSION...
 (ISSUED 250 PM EDT SAT JUN 10 2006)

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...

SOME UPPER DIFFLUENCE ON SUNDAY AS AN UPPER JET CROSSES THROUGH THE
MID ATLANTIC. DEEP MOISTURE SPREADS IN FROM THE OHIO VALLEY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENTUALLY SHIFTS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MONDAY
MORNING. MODELS SHOW GOOD Q-V FORCING ON TONIGHT AND AGAIN SUNDAY
EVENING.

LOW PRESSURE WILL BE TRACKING ALONG THE STATIONARY SURFACE FRONT
AND BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE IN NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA. THIS
SHOULD ENHANCE THE CONVERGENCE AND THE SHEAR IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTY
WARNING AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THIS LOW...850 MB
TEMPERATURES GO UP A FEW DEGREES SO SOUTHEAST COUNTIES SHOULD BE
WELL INTO THE UPPER 80S ON SUNDAY.

STILL EXPECTING SHOWERS TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
COUNTY WARNING AREA TONIGHT. THEN THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP SUNDAY
AFTERNOON IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. INSTABILITY
WILL BE LOWER AND CONVECTIVE AVAILABLE POTENTIAL ENERGY WILL BE
AROUND 1500-2000 J/KG...PLUS AREA IS IN A SLIGHT RISK ON THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER DAY 2 FORECAST SO WILL ADD GUSTY WINDS POTENTIAL
ALONG WITH THE MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN FOR THE THUNDERSTORMS. MAY TAKE
UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY FOR STORMS TO BREAK THE CAP WITH 700 MB
TEMPERATURES AROUND +8 DEGREES BUT ENOUGH COOLING AT MID LEVELS
DURING THE EVENING FOR GOOD COVERAGE OF STORMS.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT THE SURFACE FRONT CONTINUES ITS TREK
SOUTH OF THE REGION. THE SPEED AND DISTANCE AT WHICH IT DOES THIS
VARIES FROM MODEL TO MODEL. THE GFS HAS A SLOWEST SPEED AND LEAST
TRAVELED DISTANCE AS COMPARED TO THE NAM. THESE MODELS DOING THIS
SEEM REASONABLE GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS EACH HAS
FOR THE PATH OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION NUMBER 1. THE NAM TAKES THE TD 1
TO LA/MS. THE GFS TAKES TD 1 ACROSS NORTHERN FLORIDA AND THEN ALONG
THE EAST COAST...MUCH IN LINE WITH THE OFFICIAL NHC TRACK. SO
ASSUMING NHC AND THE GFS SOLUTIONS ARE CLOSE TO WHAT REALITY WILL
BE...THIS LOW PROGRESSING ALONG THE EAST COAST WOULD HELP TO
INHIBIT ANY FRONTAL MOTION SOUTH...AND THEN PERHAPS LIFT THE FRONT
NORTH AGAIN INTO EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA BY TUE/WED AS THE LOW
PASSES EAST AND THEN NORTHEAST OF THE REGION. GIVEN THIS...HAVE
FAVORED THE WETTER/COOLER SOLUTION OF THE GFS AS COMPARED TO THE
DRIER/WARMER NAM WHICH ALLOWS THE FRONT TO SAG FARTHER SOUTH OF THE
REGION TAKING THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WITH IT. ALSO...THE GFS
IS MORE PROGRESSIVE IN CONTINUING THE TRAIN OF MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE
COMPLEXES HEADING OUT OF THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS INTO OUR
REGION. HAVE TRIED TO ADJUST POPS TO COINCIDE WITH WHEN THE GFS
SUGGESTS THE GREATEST POTENTIAL IS FOR SUCH A FEATURE TO INTERACT
WITH THE FRONT OVER OR NEAR OUR REGION. HPC GRIDS PICK UP WHERE I
LEAVE OFF TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA
HAVING SMALL CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION DUE TO REASONING I MENTIONED
ABOVE.

PAST WEDNESDAY...THE FRONT GETS THE BOOT IT NEEDS TO COMPLETELY
CLEAR IN THE AREA IN THE WAY OF AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SINKING
SOUTH OUT OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION INTO THE APPALACHIANS.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES BECOME REDUCED TO ONLY ISOLATED CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND STORM FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...AND ALSO DURING
THIS TIME PERIOD THERE WILL BE A GRADUAL WARMING TREND. HEADING INTO
NEXT WEEKEND...OUR PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY...IN
PARTICULAR IN THE WEST...AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION.

AVIATION...

SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP IN THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT AND MOVE INTO THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AROUND 06Z. EXPECT MVFR CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITIES WITH THE RAIN. THE SHOWERS WILL DISSIPATE AFTER 12Z
SUNDAY BUT LOW CLOUDS WILL REMAIN OVER THE MOUNTAINS WILL MVFR
CEILINGS AT BLF AND LWB THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF FORECAST PERIOD.
