Area forecast discussion, Aug 25, 3:40 PM EDT, 2 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
340 PM EDT SAT AUG 25 2007
.SYNOPSIS...
A COOL FRONT IS MOVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. AS THE
FRONT APPROACHES EXPECT AN INCREASED THREAT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL AND BECOME
STATIONARY OVER THE AREA...AND WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HOT SFC TEMPS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO STRONG INSTABILITY THIS
AFTERNOON. SBCAPES ARE APPROACHING 4000 J/KG NORTH OF LYH WHERE
SFC DEWPOINTS ARE POOLING IN THE L-M70S. CONVERGENCE OVER THE MTNS
IS PROVIDING THE LIFT NEED TO RELEASE THE INSTABILITY...SO WILL
HAVE TO MONITOR CLOSELY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SVR DEEP CONVECTION.
LIKE YESTERDAY...ANY PARCEL THAT REACHES THE LFC IS HEADED TO THE
TOP OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITH VIGOR. GIVEN THE LARGE CAPE...MAIN
THREAT APPEARS TO BE HAIL AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
LARGE TEMP/DEWP SPREADS OF 30-40 DEGREES...WITH INVERTED V
STRUCTURE OF LOW LEVEL SOUNDING ENVIRONMENT WILL ALSO SUPPORT
MICROBURST TYPE WIND. MEAN WIND IS OUT OF THE SW AT 7KTS...SO
EXPECT A NE DRIFT TO THE INDIVIDUAL STORM CELLS.
ONCE WE GET PAST SUNSET...INSTABILITY SHOULD WANE. HOWEVER...APPROACH
OF FRONT IN THE OHIO VALLEY WILL LIKELY BE FOCUS FOR CONTINUED
THREAT OF SHRA/TSRA DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE DAY SUNDAY. WILL
MAINTAIN AT LEAST CHC THREAT FOR OUR NW CWA OVERNIGHT AND AREAWIDE
SUNDAY. INCREASED CLOUD WILL HELP LESSEN THE IMPACT OF THE HEAT
SUNDAY BUT DEWPOINTS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN ELEVATED WITH MUGGY
CONDITIONS PERSISTING.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
ALTHOUGH BOUNDARY WILL BE IN A WEAKEND FORM EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE...AN ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCE WILL RIDGE NE ALONG IT INTO
MONDAY MORNING. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT SOLUTION OVER THE PAST
FEW DAYS...SO DID INCREASE TO LIKELY POPS IN THE SE CORNER OF THE CWA.
ON MONDAY...TRICKY TEMP AND CLOUD FORECAST AS A NE COMPONENT FROM
0-10KTS IS PROGGED UP TO H7 PER WRF MODEL SOUNDINGS AT LYH. MAV MOS
SEEMS WAY TOO WARM...AND THINKING WEDGE OF CLOUDS AND COOLER TEMPS
WILL EAT UP LYH...KEEPING THEM MUCH COOLER...AND FOLLOWED THE MET
AND FWC NUMBERS THERE. ROA COULD MAY BE COOLER THAN FORECAST IF
WEDGE GETS THAT FAR WEST...WHICH SEEMS POSSIBLE CONSIDERING THE
DEPTH OF THE FLOW. +20C H85 TEMPS RIGHT BACK INTO THE EXTREME SW
OF THE CWA...NEAR BLF...SO EXPECTING QUITE A MAX T GRID CONTRAST
FROM SW TO NE. THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR SLT CHC POPS MOST PLACES ON
MONDAY. ALTHOUGH LYH MAY BREAK OUT WITH SOME SUN BY THE
AFTERNOON...THEY SHOULD SOCK RIGHT BACK IN OVERNIGHT WITH LOW
CLOUDS...CAUSING SMALL DIURNAL MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT IN THOSE
PARTS.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
OPERATIONAL GFS HAS BEEN DOING A FLIP FLOP TIMING A STRONG COLD
FRONT WHICH WILL PASS MID TO LATE WEEK. 0Z RUN WAS MUCH FASTER
THAN PREVIOUS RUNS AND SOME OTHER LONG RANGE GUIDANCE. THE LATEST
12Z GFS IS HINTING AT MORE OF A PREFRONTAL TROUGH...AS MOST OF THE
UPPER SUPPORT IS IN SOUTHEAST CANADA...WITH THE BULK OF THE COOLER
AIR SLOWER TO ARRIVE FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. 12Z GFS ALSO MORE
SIMILAR TO 0Z GFS ENSEMBLES...WHICH PLACE AOA +20C AT H85 OVER CWA
ON THURSDAY. THUS...DECIDED TO STAY CLOSE TO WHAT WAS ALREADY IN
THE GRIDS...UNTIL A BETTER MODEL CONSENSUS FORMS. ALSO...GFS HAS A
WELL KNOWN BIAS FOR PUSHING FRONTS THROUGH TOO FAST AT THIS
RANGE...ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT HAS BECOME A DOMINANT SE UPPER RIDGE
OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THINK WE WILL SQUEAK IN ONE MORE HOT DAY
AHEAD OF THE COOLER AIR ON THURSDAY...BEFORE THE PATTERN CHANGES.
BEFORE THEN...WEAK BOUNDARY WILL BE LEFT OVER IN THE SE CWA ON
TUESDAY...RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME SHWRS AND STORMS. AS THE UPPER
RIDGE LEAKS BACK EAST...SW CWA WILL BE FIRST TO WARM TUES AND
WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH MODEL PROFILES ARE RATHER DRY...FELT INCLINED
TO LEAVE IN AT LEAST A SLT CHC POP ACROSS THE REGION...WITH COOLER
AIR ON NE WINDS TRYING TO HOLD ON WHILE SW WINDS BUILD HOT AIR
INTO THE SW PORTION OF THE CWA. THE COOLEST AIR IN SEVERAL
WEEKS...H85 TEMPS TOUCHING 10C?...SHOULD ARRIVE NEXT
WEEKEND...RIGHT IN TIME FOR THE BEGINNING OF METEOROLOGICAL FALL.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS
THIS AFTERNOON AND PERSIST THROUGH SUNSET. ADDITIONAL TSTM
ACTIVITY WILL APPROACH FROM THE OHIO VALLEY...THREATENING THE TAF
SITES LATER TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. SFC FRONT THAT IS APPROACHING FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY IS EXPECTED TO STALL OVER THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT
WITH BKN AREAS OF CLOUD COVER PERSISTING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
FRONT WILL ALSO BE THE FOCUS FOR DIURNAL CYCLE OF SHRA/TSRA.
