AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
301 PM EDT THU JUN 26 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST WILL BRING HOT AND MORE HUMID
WEATHER INTO THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A BETTER CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVES WITH A FRONT THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
LATEST MESOANALYSIS SHOWS LIGHT SOUTHWEST FLOW AND CONVERGENCE
INTO THE NC MOUNTAINS AND ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. THUNDERSTORMS
ARE FIRING ALONG AND LEE OF THE THE RIDGES ATTM...AND THROUGH
EARLY EVENING...EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST. WESTERLY FLOW AND SOME DRYING
SHOULD INHIBIT STORMS FROM DRIFTING TO FAR EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS
BY THIS EVENING. THE TEMP/DEWPOINT DEPRESSION OUT EAST WILL BE A
FACTOR IF STORMS DECIDE TO FIRE UP OUT THAT WAY...LEADING TO
POTENTIAL DOWNBURST THREAT.

THE OVERNIGHT WILL BE MAINLY QUIET...AS MODELS TAKE AN MCV FROM
NRN IND INTO PA AND WEAKEN IT. CORFIDI VECTORS STEER THE
CONVECTION SOUTHEAST TOWARD OUR WV COUNTIES OVERNIGHT SO LEFT A
SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE POP FROM SE WV TO NW NC.
&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED FOR THE PERIOD FRIDAY THRU SATURDAY OTHER
THAN A SLOWLY INCREASING CHANCE OF CONVECTION. STRONG WAVE
DROPPING OUT OF SOUTHERN CANADA FRIDAY NIGHT WILL END UP PUSHING
HEIGHTS DOWN A BIT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY FOR SATURDAY...INCREASING
MOISTR SOUTHWEST FLOW...AND PROVIDING BETTER SUPPORT FOR STORMS.
BY SUNDAY...THE FAVORED 00Z ECMWF TAKES THE CLOSED LOW INTO THE
GREAT LAKES...AND KEEPS THE MAIN FRONT OVER THE OHI VALLEY WITH
LEE TROUGH IN THE PIEDMONT. SUNDAY SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO SATURDAY
IN TERMS OF THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE...BUT MAY HAVE MORE CLOUDS
KEEPING HIGHS DOWN A COUPLE DEGREES FROM SAT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FRONT SHOULD BE SOUTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY WITH
UPPER SHORTWAVES ROTATING AROUND THE LOW OVER ONTARIO...KEEPING
THREAT OF MAINLY AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION GOING INTO TUESDAY.
BY WED...HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BE INTO THE OHIO/TN VALLEYS WITH
DEEP MOISTURE WELL OFF THE COAST...SO DRIER AND LESS HUMID WX
EXPECTED FOR MIDWEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MOISTURE WILL STEADILY INCREASE INTO THE AREA THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. THIS WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...
ESPECIALLY DURNING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.  COVERAGE
TODAY AND FRIDAY WILL BE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AND MAINLY CONFINED
TO THE MOUNTAINS.  PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES...
AND THEN PASSES ACROSS THE AREA.

LCL IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG WITH VARIABLE ERRATIC WIND GUSTS. AWAY FROM THUNDERSTORMS
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR. SOME MVFR FOG IS POSSIBLE
EACH MORNING...BUT IT SHOULD DISSIPATE QUICKLY AFTER SUNRISE.

&&

.RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
VA...NONE.
NC...NONE.
WV...NONE.
