Area forecast discussion, Jan 28, 12:40 AM EST, 2 hours 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 1240 AM EST SUN JAN 28 2007 .UPDATE...AVIATION. && .AVIATION /06Z-06Z/... AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...RESULTING IN LIGHT MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW IN THE WEST THIS MORNING. AT BLF AND LWB THIS MORNING...CIGS WILL DROP TO MVFR...AND THE VISIBILITY AT BLF WILL DROP TO IFR FOR A FEW HOURS. IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...THE FLOW BECOMES NW AND WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY. MVFR SNOW SHOWERS AND SNOW FLURRIES WILL CONTINUE AT BLF/LWB...AND ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE PERIOD. HEAVY SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS. IN THE EAST...AT ROA...DAN AND LYH EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL WITH GUSTY NW WINDS THIS AFTERNOON. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY IN THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 959 PM EST SAT JAN 27 2007/ SHORT TERM /REST OF TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... CEILINGS ARE CONTINUING TO LOWER AND LIGHT RAIN HAS ADVANCED ALL THE WAY TO BKW. SLOWED DOWN THE ARRIVAL OF THE RAIN IN THE WEST TO MATCH THE RADAR TRENDS. SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE IS NOW OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND LIFT FROM THIS FEATURE WILL BE EAST OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA BY 12Z SUNDAY. THE ARCTIC FRONT COMES THROUGH IN THE MORNING AND TEMPERATURES ARE STEADY OR FALL IN THE WEST DURING THE DAY. SO PRECIPITATION IS STILL EXPECTED TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW ACROSS MOST OF THE MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 09-12Z. ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO LOWS FOR TONIGHT. SOUTHWEST WINDS AND CLOUDS WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES UP IN THE PIEDMONT. ADDED MORE SNOW SHOWERS IN THE SOUTHEAST WEST VIRIGNIA UPSLOPE AREA ON MONDAY MORNING. ALSO PUT BLOWING SNOW IN THE WEATHER GRIDS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT WHERE THE GUSTS ARE GREATER THAN 30 KNOTS. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 646 PM EST SAT JAN 27 2007/ AVIATION /00Z-24Z/... STRONG LOW LVL WINDS WILL CREATE LOW LVL WIND SHEAR EARLY THIS EVENING AT ROA/DAN. LIGHT PRECIP IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL IMPACT BLF AND LWB OVERNIGHT WITH LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW...WHERE CIGS WILL DROP TO MVFR...AND THE VIS AT BLF WILL DROP TO IFR FOR A FEW HOURS. ONCE THIS SYSTEM PASSES...THE FLOW GOES AROUND TO THE NW AND WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY. SNOW SHOWERS WILL IMPACT BLF/LWB...AND ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE PERIOD. LOOK FOR CONDITIONS NO BETTER THAN MVFR AT BLF/LWB AFT 12Z. FURTHER EAST EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL WITH GUSTY NW WINDS KICKING IN BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 321 PM EST SAT JAN 27 2007/ SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... THREE SYSTEMS TO WATCH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. A COLD FRONT IS SLIDING SOUTHEAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. AN ARCTIC FRONT IS PLOWING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS. A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS MOVING EAST ALONG THE GULF COAST. THE FIRST TWO FRONTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM JET...THE SFC LOW ALONG THE GULF COAST ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUTHERN STREAM. THE NORTHERN STREAM IS DOMINATE...SO ANTICIPATE SOUTHERN STREAM TO REMAIN SUPPRESSED WITH SFC LOW ALONG THE GULF COAST SLIDING EAST AS OPPOSED TO PHASING AND MOVING NE. FCST TRACK OF THE SFC LOW SHOULD TAKE IT ACROSS NORTHERN FLORIDA. THE SYSTEM ALONG THE GULF COAST IS TOO FAR REMOVED TO BE MUCH OF A PLAYER IN OUR WEATHER...BUT SHOULD STILL SEE SOME EFFECTS. MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE IS STREAMING NE ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND ANTICIPATE ARRIVAL ACROSS OUR COUNTY WARNING AREA (CWA) THIS EVENING WITH OVERCAST CONDITIONS QUICKLY DEVELOPING AFTER SUNSET. SOME LIGHT RAIN WAS OCCURRING AS FAR NORTH AS WRN TN/KY AND THIS PRECIP WILL SLIDE NE CROSSING OUR FCST AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT. PER WARM BOUNDARY LAYER...THINK MOST OF THE PRECIP WILL FALL IN THE FORM OF LIGHT RAIN. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THE MTNS PER ARRIVAL OF THE OHIO VALLEY COLD FRONT. SFC COLD FRONT WHICH HAS ENTERED THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY IS FORECAST TO RENDEZVOUS WITH THE STREAM OF MOISTURE DURING THE OVERNIGHT. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT EXPECT TEMPS TO FALL WITH LIGHT RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW IN THE MTNS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. FORECAST MODEL QPF SUPPORTS BETWEEN A TENTH TO A QUARTER INCH OF LIQUID IN THE MTNS WITH LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. BUFKIT FORECAST SOUNDING DATA SUGGESTS IT WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW AT BLUEFIELD (BLF) AND THE MTNS NW OF LEWISBURG (LWB) BY MIDNIGHT...WITH THE COLDER AIR TRICKLING INTO OTHER AREAS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AFTER MIDNIGHT. IT IS ALL IN THE TIMING...AND THINK THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR AN OVERNIGHT ACCUMULATION OF SNOW WILL OCCUR WHERE THE TEMPS FALL BELOW CRITICAL FIRST...WHICH WILL BE THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS VCNTY OF TNB/BLF/LWB. ELSEWHERE THE PRECIP MAY END B4 THE RAIN CHANGES INTO SNOW. ATTM WE ARE FCST UPWARDS OF AN INCH...MAYBE TWO...IN THOSE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE WRN CWA BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY. THERE MAY BE A LULL IN THE PRECIP SUNDAY MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. WINDS SHOULD BACK AHEAD OF APPROACHING ARCTIC FRONT BEFORE VEERING SHARPLY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. THIS FRONT WILL HAVE SOME STING AS AIRMASS BEHIND IT IS BITTERLY COLD. 85H TEMPS SUNDAY NIGHT ARE FCST TO FALL TO NEAR M18 DEG C...WHICH SUPPORTS SFC TEMPS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS IN THE MTNS...UPR TEENS AND LOWER 20S EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. POTENT UPPER TROF WILL SWING THROUGH THE FCST AREA BETWEEN 21 UTC AND 06 UTC SUNDAY EVENING WITH PERIOD OF STRONG DYNAMIC LIFT...MAX Q-VECTOR FORCING OCCURRING BETWEEN 00-03 UTC. ANTICIPATE WIDESPREAD MTN SNOWSHOWERS DURING THIS TIME WITH SOME ACTIVITY SPILLING EAST OF THE MTNS WITH FLURRIES POSSIBLE EVEN AT DANVILLE SUNDAY NIGHT. THE HIGHEST SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL AGAIN BE CONFINED TO THE WRN CWA WHERE UPWARDS OF 6 INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE IN THE MTNS NW OF LWB...AND RESPECTABLE AMOUNTS ATOP MT ROGERS AND BEECH MTN IN NC. ATTM WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. OTHER HEADLINES WHICH MAY BE NEEDED FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INCLUDE WIND...BLOWING SNOW...AND WIND CHILL. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE STRONG SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW LEVEL CROSS BARRIER WIND FLOW OF BETWEEN 50-60 KTS AT 850 MB. STRONGEST SFC GUSTS WILL BE OBSERVED ALONG AND JUST EAST OF THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN TERRAIN. LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... UPPER FLOW IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN DOMINATED BY THE NORTHERN STREAM WITH FAST FLOW SUPPORTING CONTINUED PASSAGE OF SHORT WAVES EVERY COUPLE DAYS WITH REINFORCING SHOTS OF COLD AIR. STILL QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER ANY OF THE SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVES WILL HAVE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO FIND THERE WAY THIS FAR NORTH IN LATITUDE. IF THE NRN STREAM REMAINS DOMINATE...THE SYSTEMS TO OUR SOUTH WILL SCOOT ALONG THE GULF COAST AND OUT INTO THE ATLANTIC. ANY WEAKNESS OR NEGATIVE TILT IN THE NRN STREAM WILL ALLOW THESE SYSTEMS TO COME A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH. THIS MAKES FOR AN UNCERTAIN AND PROBLOMATIC FCST AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK...FCST CONFIDENCE LOWER THAN AVERAGE. AVIATION /19Z-18Z/... GRADIENT WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WIND GUSTS OF 30 KTS ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE RIDGE CRESTS. WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH IN THE VALLEYS AFTER SUNSET. SKIES WILL QUICKLY BECOME OVERCAST THIS EVENING...THE RESULT OF MOISTURE INCREASING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT IN THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS FRONT IS FCST TO CROSS THE FORECAST AREA EARLY SUNDAY MORNING... CLOUD BASES LOWERING AFTER 06 UTC WITH WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED IN THE MTNS. LOCAL IFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE ALSO LIKELY AFT 06 UTC IN THE VCNTY OF BLF/LWB PER AREAS OF -RA/SN. THE POOR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN CONFINED TO AREAS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...BUT THERE IS A CHANCE SOME OF THE MOISTURE MAY SPILL EAST OF THE MOUTAINS...REFLECTED BY THE TEMPO GROUP FROM 09-12 UTC IN THE ROA/LYH/DAN TAFS. KEPT CIGS/VSBYS VFR FOR THESE EASTERN AIRPORTS...BUT THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE SOMEWHAT LOWER CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR PENDING AMOUNT OF PRECIP THAT ACTUALLY MAKES IT OVER THE MTNS. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
