AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
522 AM EST SAT DEC 15 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL MOVE
ALONG THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY TODAY AND INTO NEW YORK BY SUNDAY.
BEHIND THIS LOW HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN WITH COLDER AIR AND
STRONG WINDS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LOW CLOUDS ARE FILLING IN EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WHICH WAS PICKED
UP WELL ON THE LOCAL WRF MODEL. ISENTROPIC LIFT HAS BEGUN...WEDGE
HAS FORMED AT THE SURFACE AND WINDS ABOVE THE WEDGE HAVE COME
AROUND TO THE SOUTH. THERE MAY BE ENOUGH LIFT THIS MORNING FOR
DRIZZLE OR FREEZING DRIZZLE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEARLY STEADY
THROUGH THE MORNING THEN AS THE MORE WIDESPREAD...STEADIER RAIN
BEGINS EXPECT THE TEMPERATURE TO DROP A DEGREE OR TWO.

HAVE ADDED GILES COUNTY TO THE ICE STORM WARNING AND GRAYSON
COUNTY TO THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY BASED ON WHERE THE FREEZING
WILL BE TODAY AND TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...
BEST DYNAMICS IN THE FORM OF Q-V FORCING AND ISENTROPIC LIFT FROM
18Z TODAY THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT. AFT 21Z TDY 850 WINDS INCREASE TO
GREATER THAN 60 KNOTS AND BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST THEN EAST....PROVIDING
EXCELLENT UPSLOPE ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE UNTIL 09Z IN THE FAR NORTHEAST
COUNTIES. SREF NOT QUITE AS STRONG WITH UPSLOPE TONIGHT BUT STILL
IMPRESSIVE. THE CURRENT PATTERN AND FORECAST WITH THE 850 LOW
TRACING UP THE OHIO RIVER INTO WESTERN NEW YORK...RESEMBLES THE
UPSLOPE/STRONG DYNAMICS CASES THAT TYPICALLY BRING GREATER THAN 2
INCHES ON RAIN IN 24 HOURS TO THE BLUE RIDGE...IN PARTICULAR THE
NOV 15-16 2006 CASE. WILL BE INCREASING QPF ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE
IN THE 00-06Z TIME FRAME WHEN THE WIND BACK TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST
AND THE WARM AIR ADVECTION...ISENTROPIC LIFT AND UPSLOPE ARE ALL
MAXIMIZED.

WITH SUCH A WARM LAYER ABOVE THE WEDGE...POSSIBLE THAT WARM RAIN
COMING INTO THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL ACTUALLY WARM SURFACE
TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT. GFS AND SREF ARE STILL SHOWING THIS TREND.
THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATE IN THE 00-06Z TIME FRAME ALSO FAVORS
BRINGING DOWN WARMER AIR FROM ABOVE THE WEDGE. HAVE STAYED WITH
NON-DIURNAL TEMPERATURE TREND TONIGHT.

850 MB WINDS ARE 40 TO 60 KNOTS BEHIND THE FRONT ON SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. BACK SIDE OF DRY SLOT MOVES THRU CWA SUN MORNING.
WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE BELOW 700 MB HOLD IN THE UPSLOPE AREAS ALL
DAY SUNDAY. VERY STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION ON SUNDAY WITH A
NEARLY 10-20 DEG DROP IN 850 TEMPS BETWEEN 12Z SUN AND 00Z MON.
THE BEST PRESSURE RISES ARE AFTER 21Z SUN.

NORMALLY WOULD HOLD OFF ON ANY WIND HEADLINES FOR SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH CURRENT WINTER WEATHER EVENT...BUT
CONCERNED THERE IS A HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE WITH THE STRONG
WINDS ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHERN
COUNTY WARNING AREA WHERE THERE WILL BE MORE ICE ACCRETION. WILL
LIKELY WILL TAKE EVEN LESS THAN REGULAR ADVISORY/WARNING LEVEL
WIND GUSTS TO CAUSE DAMAGE. SO ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR
SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.

COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE 18Z SUNDAY AND ENTIRE
CWA AFTER 21Z SUN. MADE THE TRANSITION TO SNOW A LITTLE FASTER IN
THE GRIDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
INCREASED POPS FOR SNOW IN THE FAR WEST SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING. KEPT TEMPERATURE COLD ON SUNDAY NIGHT WITH READINGS FROM
UPPER TEENS IN THE COLDEST MOUNTAIN VALLEYS TO THE MID 20S IN THE
SOUTHEAST. AFTER THE BACK END OF THE MAIN UPPER WAVE SHIFTS EAST OF
THE REGION ON MONDAY...THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN SWITCHES TO A DRY ZONAL
FLOW REGIME WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES INTO TUESDAY.

ON WEDNESDAY...A WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE ZONAL FLOW WILL START
DIGGING OUT A SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED TROUGH IN CENTRAL CONUS WITH
RESULTANT RIDGING ALONG THE EAST COAST. THE FAR WESTERN PART OF THE
AREA MAY SEE A FEW SHOWERS AS THE SYSTEM PROGRESSES INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY...BUT ELSEWHERE DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST ALONG WITH EVEN
WARMER TEMPERATURES.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY THE CENTRAL CONUS TROUGH DIGS A LITTLE DEEPER
AND SLOWS AS IT APPROACHES THE EAST COAST. LOOK FOR TEMPERATURES TO
BE SIMILAR TO OR A LITTLE MILDER THAN THOSE REALIZED ON WEDNESDAY
WITH INCREASING CHANCE OF SHOWERS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS THE UPPER
SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVES INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. SOME
DIFFERENCES HAVE BEGUN TO SHOW UP BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND THE GFS IN
REGARDS TO THE STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM. THE ECMWF MAINTAINS IT
SOLUTION OF A MORE AMPLIFIED TROUGH AND RESULTANT MILLER B
CYCLOGENESIS. THE GFS IS MUCH LESS AMPLIFIED AND FURTHER NORTH.
FOR NOW LEANED TOWARDS GMOS...PLAYED THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE WESTERN
MOUNTAINS DURING THE MEDIUM RANGE. TRIMMED GMOS POPS IN THE EAST ON
THURSDAY AND ADJUSTED HIGH TEMPERATURES DOWN A TAD IN SOUTHEAST TO
BLEND BETTER WITH AKQ.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SCATTERED HIGH CLOUDS WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE REGION THIS MORNING.
CLOUD COVER WILL LOWER AND THICKEN AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. WINTER
FLYING CONDITIONS WILL APPLY TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH FREEZING
DRIZZLE... SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE. MOST AFFECTED TAF
AIRPORTS BY FROZEN PRECIP WILL BE ROA/LYH...WITH COLD WEDGE
EXPECTED. DAN WILL BE TOO WARM FOR ANY FROZEN ISSUES...WITH RAIN
MOVING IN. WARM AIR SURGING UP THE APPALACHIANS MTNS MAY LIMIT
FROZEN PRECIP AT LWB AND BLF. HOWEVER...FREEZING DRIZZLE MAY CREATE
PROBLEMS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL LOWER TO IFR CONDITIONS WITH TODAY
WINTER PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDS.

EXPECT MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS BY SAT NIGHT...WITH IMPROVING
CONDITIONS SUNDAY EXCEPT IN THE NW UPSLOPE REGIONS WHERE LOW
CLOUDS WILL LIKELY PERSIST ALONG WITH SNOW SHOWERS. ROA AND LWB
WILL LIKELY SEE SOME FREEZING RAIN SATURDAY NIGHT. LYH MAY SEE
SOME FZRA. WINDS WILL ALSO BE VERY STRONG ON SUNDAY AS THE LOW
DEEPENS OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOLLOWING THIS SYSTEM MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

CONTINUED OUTAGE OF MODEM IS KEEPING DAN OBSERVATIONS OUT OF
AWIPS. THERE IS NO ESTIMATE ON WHEN SERVICE WILL BE RESTORED.
