AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
657 PM EST TUE MAR 4 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE ENTERING WEST VIRGINIA WILL TRACK
NE THROUGH PA LATER THIS EVENING DRAGGING A STRONG COLD FRONT
THRU THE REGION TONIGHT. COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN
WEDNESDAY THEN QUICKLY MOVE OFF THE COAST THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WILL UPDATE THE GRIDS TO REFLECT TORNADO WATCH 98. NOT LOOKING AT A BIG OUT
BREAK OF TORNADOS WITH ONLY A FEW LOW TOP STORMS SHOWING ROTATION
MOVING INTO THE PIEDMONT. HOWEVER...INGREDIENT ARE RIPE FOR
ISOLATED TORNADOS AND SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THIS EVENING. THEIR
HAS NOT BEEN ANY VERIFICATION ON THE TORNADO WARNING FOR
HENRY/FRANKLIN COUNTY.

ALREADY SENT EARLIER FLOOD WATCH TO COVER ISOLATED FLOOD POTENTIAL
MAINLY ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES WHERE PERSISTENT LIGHT/MODERATE BAND
OF PRECIP CONTINUES. OTRW WAITING FOR COLD FRONT ACROSS EASTERN TN
TO START SLIDING ENE AS NEGATIVE TILT TAKES PLACE AND NOSE OF UPPER
JET ARRIVES. THIS SHOULD FINALLY HELP THE ONGOING LINES TO MERGE
INTO ONE AND THEN BOW NE ALLOWING AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN TO SHIFT EAST
TO THE BLUE RIDGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON REACHING THE PIEDMONT THIS
EVENING. SVR THREAT APPEARS TO BE LIMITED TO MORE EMBEDDED NATURE
CONVECTION AND MIXING DOWN OF HIGHER WINDS ALOFT PER LACK OF INSTAB
BUT GOOD DYNAMICS/WINDS. APPEARS BEST SHOT AT THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL
WILL BE 22-02Z WHEN BEST RH...PWATS...UPPER DIFFLUENCE AND THETA-E
RIDGING COINCIDE. THIS LITTLE CHANGE TO GOING POPS OVERNIGHT WITH
ANOTHER 1-3 INCHES OF RAIN POSSIBLE ESPCLY WEST. FRONT SHOULD PUSH
THRU AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH DRY PUNCH SCOURING OUT DEEP RH TO THE NE
BETWEEN 06Z-08Z. HOWEVER WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL QUICKLY RETURN IN
WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH POOL OF COLD 85H AIR CROSSING INTO THE NW
UPSLOPE AREAS AFTER MIDNIGHT. SINCE THE BOUNDARY LAYER STILL APPEARS
QUITE WARM THINK ANY -SHSN WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL ABOUT DAYBREAK SO
SLOWED DOWN MIX OVER A BIT. EXPECT QUICK SHOT OF COLD ADVECTION AND
SUBSIDENCE TO PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS OVERNIGHT BUT BELOW ADVISORY GIVEN
30-40 KT 850 MB JET. LEFT LOW TEMPS ON THE WARM SIDE OF MOS GIVEN
TRENDS OF LATE FOR MODELS TO BE TOO FAST WITH COLD ADVECTION.

SOME UPSLOPE -SHSN MAY LINGER EARLY WED OTRW DRIER AND SOMEWHAT
COOLER AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES IN FROM THE SW. THIS IN COMBO
WITH SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR SHOULD PRODUCE MAINLY SUNNY SKIES BY
AFTERNOON UNDER DIMINISHING WINDS. GIVEN DRY WESTERLY FLOW STAYED ON
THE WARM SIDE OF MOS TEMPS ESPCLY EAST WHERE MORE DOWNSLOPE IN ORDER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SKIRT THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING EXPECTED. THERE WILL BE SOME WEAK WARM AIR
ADVECTION ALOFT...THEREFORE RIDGES MAYBE 5-10F WARMER THAN THE
VALLEYS AND OUT EAST. ON THURSDAY...A WEAK FRONT WILL STALL WEST OF
THE APPALACHIANS. THIS SYSTEM MAY SQUEEZE OUT A FEW RAIN DROPS IN THE
GREENBRIER VALLEY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THURSDAY NIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY IS STILL A QUESTIONABLE FORECAST AS
MODELS CONTINUE TO LACK CONTINUITY. HOWEVER...MODELS ARE SHOWING A
MORE BELIEVABLE SOLUTION WITH A DAMP COOL PERIOD. SHORT WAVES AND
WARM MOIST AIR TRACKING ALONG THE STALLED FRONT WILL GENERATE RAIN
THROUGH THE TENNESSEE AND THE SOUTHERN OHIO VALLEYS. A SURFACE WAVE
WILL BE TRACKING OUT OF THE GULF AND ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST. THE
TRACK OF THIS LOW STILL IN QUESTION WHETHER IT STAYS INLAND OR OFF
THE COAST. EITHER WAY...LIGHT RAIN FALLING AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM AND
IN OUR AREA WILL CREATE AN INSITU WEDGE WITH THE WINDS BECOMING
NORTHEASTERLY. SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND BOUNDARY LAYER LOOKING WARM
ENOUGH TO HAVE JUST A COLD RAIN IN THE AREA. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS
SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT WITH CONVECTION ALONG THE GULF. FRIDAY
NIGHT...THE SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST WITH A
TRAILING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IN THE MID WEST. WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH AND DEW POINT FRONT WELL TO OUR WEST...LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE/FOG
WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO SATURDAY MORNING. AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
SWINGS THROUGH THE REGION SATURDAY AFTERNOON...RAIN WILL LIKELY
CHANGE TO UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS AND CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY NIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE AND ZONAL FLOW WILL KEEP THE REGION DRY SUNDAY. THE
NEXT FRONT COULD COME IN AS EARLY AS MONDAY BUT WITH A HIGH PRESSURE
ALONG THE GULF...PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT.

WITH RAIN AND INSITU WEDGE IN THE AREA...FRIDAY WILL LIKELY BE THE
COLDEST DAY OF THE EXTENDED. TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE BACK TO
NORMAL THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FIRST LINE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS IS EXITING THE AREA AND CLEARING
DANVILLE AND LYNCHBURG...THOUGH THEY WILL STILL BE SEEING SHOWERS.
SECOND LINE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THESE WILL
BRING A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLY STRONG WIND GUSTS. I
HAVE TIMED THE PASSAGE OF THE LINE OF CONVECTION WITH A 2 HOUT
TEMPO GROUP IN THE TAFS. BEHIND THE FRONT...SOUTHWEST TO WEST
WINDS WILL GUST UP TO 30 KNOTS. ROA WILL LIKELY SEE SOME GUSTS TO
35 KNOTS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH MID MORNING ONWARD ON WEDNESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE SW WEDNESDAY KEEPING VFR...UNTIL
THE NEXT COLD FRONT ARRIVES LATE THURSDAY NIGHT WITH IFR CIGS/VIS
POSSIBLE IN SNOW SHWS AT KLWB/KBLF FRIDAY. THE BEST CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION WILL BE ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS THURSDAY NIGHT
AND POSSIBLY AGAIN ON SATURDAY. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD FOLLOW AGAIN
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE FOR SUNDAY.
