AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1244 PM EST FRI DEC 14 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. A LARGE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION BY SATURDAY NIGHT. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
EXIT THE AREA SUNDAY WITH STRONG WINDS BEHIND IT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING INTO THE AREA TODAY ON WESTERLY
WINDS. UPLSOPE CLOUDS ON THE WESTERN SLOPES FROM GREENBRIER
SOUTHWEST TO SMYTH COUNTY ARE A LITTLE SLOWER THAN FORECAST TO
BREAK UP...SO WILL SLOW DOWN THE CLEARING SOME IN THE FCST. I HAVE
ALSO LOWERED HIGH TEMPS IN THE FAR WEST. NO OTHER CHANGES IN THE
SHORT TERM.

TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES MOVES EASTWARD
TOWARD NEW ENGLAND. COOLER DRIER AIR WILL BE BUILDING DOWN THE EAST
COAST...WHILE HIGH CLOUDS WILL BE SPREADING NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE
DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM ALONG THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. LOWS WILL
VARY FROM THE MID 20S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE MID 30S IN THE
SOUTHEAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
12Z MODELS STILL SHOWING SOME DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AND
THE TRACK OF THE LOW. HOWEVER...AFTER A QUICK LOOK AT THE 12Z
MODELS COMING IN...THEY ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THAT THERE WILL BE A
STRONG WARM LAYER ALOFT BY LATE SAT AFTERNOON...AND WITH A STRONG LOW
LEVEL EAST FLOW...A SUBFREEZING LAYER ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE IN
SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND INTO THE HIGHLANDS OF VIRGINIA AND WV
BORDER COUNTIES OF MONROE AND GREENBRIER. I HAVE ADJUSTED THE ICE
ACCUMULATION GRIDS...AND WE HAVE ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR
ALL AREAS THAT HAVE A QUARTER OF AN INCH OR MORE OF ICING. SINCE
WE HAVE BEEN SO WARM...THE ICE ACCUMULATION WILL BE ON ELEVATED
SURFACES- ESPECIALLY ALONG THEBLUE RIDGE AND EASTERN FACING SLOPES
IN OTHER HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

FOR THE COUNTY WARNING AREA THE 850 MB WINDS BACK TO THE SOUTH
ON SATURDAY WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET AND BEST INFLOW ON SATURDAY
NIGHT. MEANWHILE...SFC WINDS ARE FROM THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST. MODELS
MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY CAPTURING THE STRENGTH OF THE WEDGE SATURDAY
NIGHT. THE NAM BUFKIT HAS A DISTINCT LAYER OF COLDER AIR NEAR THE
SURFACE COMAPRED TO THE GFS. BUT SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND DEW
POINTS ABOVE FREEZING FOR MUCH OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA...EVEN
SATURDAY NIGHT. ALSO ON BUFKIT THE LAYER OF BEST LIFT IS WARMER
THAN PREFERED CRYSTAL GROWTH TEMPERATURES. EXPECT MUCH OF THE
PRECIPITATION TO BE LIQUID WITHIN THE CLOUD AND THERE IS SUCH A
WARM LAYER ABOVE THE WEDGE IT WOULD BE MELTNG ANYWAY. SO HAVE
PULLED A LOT OF THE SLEET OUT OF THE FORECAST. SOUNDINGS ARE
SHOWING AN ISOTHERMAL LAYER AROUND 12Z SUNDAY MORNING WHEN THE
WINDS COME AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST AND THE COLDER AIR STARTS
POURING IN.

ON SUNDAY THERE ARE STILL LARGE PRESSURE RISES AND 50 KNOTS OF
WIND AT 850 MB SO KEPT STRONG WINDS AND WIND GUSTS IN THE GRIDS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MON-THU LOOK MAINLY DRY BUT STILL QUITE CHILLY GIVEN RESIDUAL
UPPER TROF AND ADDED PIECES OF NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY SLIDING THRU
THE EASTERN SURFACE RIDGING. A CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVES THRU MIDWEEK
WITH CLOUDS. THE 00Z ECMWF WAS MORE AMPLIFIED WHICH WAS FELT TO BE
STRONGER THAN THE ENSEMBLES...THEREFORE KEPT PRECIP OUT OF THE
FORECAST FOR WED-THU.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS THAT THE STRATO-CU OVER WESTERN SLOPE
AREAS IF DECREASING RAPIDLY NOW. I HAVE INCLUDED A ONE HOUR TEMPO
GROUP 18 TO 19Z WITH MVFR CEILING AT BLF. OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED FOR ALL TAF SITES THRU 18Z SATURDAY...THOUGH THERE
WILL BE LOWERING VFR CEILINGS OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM GETS CLOSER...PRECIP WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS THE REGION NEAR 18Z OR SHORTLY AFTERWARD. 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.
