Area forecast discussion, Aug 21, 2:31 PM EDT, 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
231 PM EDT TUE AUG 21 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO MEANDER ACROSS PARTS OF
THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK BEFORE DISSIPATING. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
SHOULD BUILD BACK IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST BY WEEKS END KEEPING HOT
AND HUMID WEATHER GOING INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SHOWERS AND TSTMS WIDESPREAD AHEAD OF LEFTOVERS FROM ERIN. STRONG
MID LEVEL WINDS MIXING DOWN WITH HEAVIER CELLS AND PRODUCING WIND
DAMAGE. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 629 IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF THE
AREA UNTIL 9PM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
SHORT WAVE MOVING OVER NORTH CAROLINA WILL ALLOW THE WEDGE TO SINK
BACK INTO THE REGION. THIS SHOULD BRING BACK A LOW DECK TO AREAS
EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. GOING INTO WEDNESDAY...NAM IS HANGING ON
TO THE DIRTY WEDGE A LITTLE LONGER THAN THE GFS...WHICH IS CAUSING
THE MET TO BE ABOUT 5F TO 10F COOLER THAN THE MAV. GFS IS SHOWING
A NORTHEASTERLY WIND WHICH WOULD SUGGESTION NAM IS NOT THAT MUCH
OF AN OUTLIER. WITH SOME QUESTIONS TO WHO IS RIGHT...I LOWERED
EASTERN TEMPS BELOW MAV BUT STILL KEEP THEM WARM. SOUTHEAST WV AND
EXTREME SW VA WILL REMAIN UNINFLUENCED BY THE WEDGE AND
CLOUDS...THEREFORE TEMPERATURES WILL WARM ABOVE NORMAL. ALSO IN
THE AREA...BOUNDARY AND AFTERNOON HEATING SHOULD IGNITE A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS AS FLOW BRIEFLY BACKS TO THE SOUTHWEST DURING THE
AFTERNOON. FLOW ALOFT BECOMES NORTHEASTERLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
SHOWERS WILL DISSIPATE WITH LOSE OF HEATING.

THURSDAY...EVEN MORE OF A DIFFERENCE WITH THE MODELS AND THE WEDGE.
NAM IS HOLDING STRONG WITH THE WEDGE WHICH HAS TEMPERATURES 10F-15F
COOLER THAN GFS. WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REGAINING CONTROL OF THE
REGIONS WEATHER...WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH TO THURSDAY GRIDS AND KEEPING
TEMPERATURES WARM AND NEAR MAV.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SAME STORY DIFFERENT DAY. GFS WARMS 850 MB TO 22-23C ON FRIDAY
WHICH WOULD LIKELY PRODUCE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK. GUIDANCE
HAS MID-90S EVEN IN THE NRV AND NEAR 90 GREENBRIER VALLEY. COULD
DEFINITELY BE THREATENING RECORDS HIGHS AGAIN...WITH DEPARTURES
FROM CLIMO APPROACHING PLUS 10 TO 15 DEGREES. THROUGH MOST OF THE
LATE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND NO REAL FRONTAL BOUNDARIES TO SPEAK
OF OTHER THAN WHAT OUTFLOWS MAY DEVELOP FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS.
WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S AND LOW 70S THERE WILL BE PLENTY
OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE BUT NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT. THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. RIDGE REMAINS DOMINANT IN THE
EXTENDED ALTHOUGH HEIGHTS RISE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY MONDAY
AS SOME NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY TRIES TO FLATTEN OUT THE RIDGE BY
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE SURFACE REFLECTION IS A FRONTAL PASSAGE BY
MONDAY WHICH MAY HELP DROP 850 TEMPS BACK INTO THE UPPER TEENS AND
SURFACE TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL BUT STILL LIKELY A FEW
DEGREES ABOVE.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
DIRTY WEDGE WITH NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP IFR CEILINGS AND MVFR
VISIBILITIES EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGH THE MORNING. WITH
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...THIS LOW DECK WILL ERODE FROM WEST TO EAST
WITH LYH BECOMING THE LAST TO BREAK OUT. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
RETURN TO ALL SITES BY 16Z TUESDAY. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON
CONVECTION WITH THE BEST FOCUS NORTH OF LWB-HSP. RAIN CHANCES
DECREASE TONIGHT WITH MVFR FOG FORMING ACROSS THE AREA. LOW CLOUD
DECK MAY RE-ENTER THE EAST ONCE AGAIN TONIGHT.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...SUMMER TIME PULSE CONVECTION IS
POSSIBLE EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.CLIMATE...
ROANOKE...BLUEFIELD...AND BLACKSBURG ALREADY AHEAD OF A PACE TO
BREAK MONTHLY AVERAGE AUGUST HEAT RECORDS LOOKING AT DATA THROUGH
AUGUST 20. ROANOKE OVER 2 DEGREES AHEAD OF THE PREVIOUS RECORD
PACE FOR THE FIRST 20 DAYS BACK IN THE DROUGHT YEAR OF 1988. THE
NEXT 7 DAYS WILL DO NOTHING BUT PAD THOSE NUMBERS. DANVILLE ON
PACE FOR 2ND HIGHEST...WHILE LYNCHBURG WITH A LONGER PERIOD OF
RECORD AND SOMEWHAT LESS EXTREME HEAT IS NOT IN THE TOP 10 YET.
RAINFALL NUMBERS ARE NOT MUCH BETTER AND SEVERAL STATIONS COULD
STILL SET ALL-TIME DRIEST AUGUST...BLACKSBURG HAS ONLY 0.12
INCHES THIS MONTH. WITH THE HEAT/DRY COMBINATION THE DROUGHT
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO WORSEN ACROSS THE AREA.
