AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
916 AM EDT WED AUG 27 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
THE REMNANTS OF FAY WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN
KENTUCKY BY THIS AFTERNOON. AS THIS LOW MOVES NORTH...A WARM
FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THIS
WILL WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD RAINFALL...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL NOON TODAY/...
BASED ON RADAR TRENDS AND LATEST MODEL AND HPC QPF FCSTS...HAVE
DECIDED TO EXPAND THE FF WATCH UP THE BLUE RIDGE AND FOOTHILLS
THROUGH ROCKBRIDGE AND AMHERST COUNTIES...AND AS FAR EAST AS LYH
AND DAN AREAS. WHILE RAIN IS CURRENTLY TAPERING OFF ACROSS PARTS
OF NORTHWEST NC...AS WARM SECTOR BUILDS IN FROM SOUTH WE MAY GET
MORE CONVECTIVE BANDS DEVELOPING LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND WITH
PREVIOUS RAINFALL ANY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES COULD EASILY CAUSE
FLASH FLOODING. HEAVIEST OVERALL RAINFALL REST OF THE DAY WILL
CERTAINLY BE FARTHER NORTH FROM ROANOKE NORTHWARD. ALSO EXTENDED
IN TIME TO MIDNIGHT.
ADDED WIND ADV FOR THE TYPICAL DOWNSLOPE AREAS IN SE FLOW AS SOME
STRONG GUSTS WERE REPORTED IN BLF AREA. MAINLY THE HIGHER RIDGES
WILL BE IMPACTED BUT WITH WET GROUND COULD ALSO SEE A FEW TREES
COME DOWN.
HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS SO FAR HAVE BEEN IN FROM GRAYSON COUNTY
VIRGINIA ACROSS NORTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA. SEVERAL GAGES HAVE
REPORTED GREATER THAN 3 INCHES OF RAIN SINCE 06Z TUESDAY WITH OVER 8
INCHES AT ONE IFLOWS GAGE IN NORTHERN AVERY COUNTY. SOME OF THIS
WATER IS DRAINING INTO WATAUGA COUNTY. AREAL COVERAGE OF FLASH FLOOD
WATCH IS STILL GOOD BUT WILL EXTEND THE WATCH THROUGH 6PM. AMOUNTS
FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA ARE MAINLY 1 TO 3 INCHES.
NO ADDITIONAL COUNTIES WILL BE ADDED TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT
THIS TIME BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
PEAK LOW LEVEL WINDS FROM KFCX VELOCITY AZIMUTH DISPLAY AND 06Z RNK
SOUNDING ARE ABOUT 35 KNOTS. AFTER 12Z WIND GUSTS AT THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS WILL GRADUALLY BEGIN TO DIMINISH AS THE LOW LEVEL JET
SHIFTS NORTH.
&&
.SHORT TERM /NOON TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
GOOD UPPER DIFFLUENCE TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WESTERN PART OF
THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. LOW LEVEL WINDS ALSO REMAIN EAST TO
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST UNTIL THURSDAY. AS EXPECTED MODELS SFC-700MB
MOISTURE IN THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. MSAS ANALYSIS IS SHOWING A
WEDGE OF STABLE AIR THROUGH MUCH OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. THE
WARM FRONT IS IN SOUTH CAROLINA BUT WILL BE LIFTING NORTH PAST THE
VIRGINIA BORDER BY THIS AFTERNOON. MAY BE HARD TO GET ANY HEATING
WITH ALL THE CLOUDS BUT THERE MAY BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY IN EXTREME
SOUTHERN VIRGINIA AND NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
WINDS NEAR THE SURFACE MAY ALSO BACK ENOUGH AS THE FRONT APPROACHES
TO ENHANCE THE SHEAR ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY.
UPSLOPE FINALLY WEAKENS ON THURSDAY...BUT BY THE NEXT UPPER TROF
WILL BE COMING THROUGH. ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES. IF
WEDGE BREAKS OR THERE ARE ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS...HIGHS THIS
AFTERNOON MAY NEED TO RAISED 5 TO 10 DEGREES. THIS IS MOST LIKELY
TO HAPPEN ACROSS THE SOUTH PART OF THE FORECAST AREA.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ECMWF/NAM BOTH SHOWING SIGNS OF THE WEDGE HOLDING ON INTO FRIDAY.
ALTHOUGH THE OP GFS IS ABSENT OF A WEDGE SIGNATURE IN ITS
MSLP...SEEMS UNUSUAL THAT THE WEDGE WOULD BREAK OVERNIGHT
THURSDAY. THUS...LOWERED TEMPS SOMEWHAT CONSIDERING THE
UNCERTAINTY AND GOOD AMOUNT OF LLVL MOISTURE. SHOULD BE MORE
SUNSHINE IN THE SW AND W EXTREME OF THE CWA...AND THUS SOME STORMS
MAY BUBBLE UP IN THE PM. WEDGE SIGNATURE HANGS AROUND...ALBEIT IN
A WEAKENED FORM WITH LESS LLVL MOISTURE OFF AND ON THROUGH THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK...WITH HIGH PRESSURE SETTING UP ACROSS THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND NEW ENGLAND IN RESPONSE TO PERSISTENT
TROUGHING ALONG THE CANADIAN MARITIMES.
PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE LIMITED TO A WEAK FRONT MOVING INTO THE
AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. ECMWF SHOWING SOME LIGHT SCATTERED
CONVECTION SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE GFS A LITTLE SLOWER AND
STALLS THE FRONT ALONG THE NC/VA BORDER...KEEPING LOW CHANCE POPS
IN THE AREA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH LOW CONFIDENCE...WILL
KEEP POPS LOW AND CLOSE TO HPC GRIDS.
&&
.AVIATION /13Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CEILINGS AT ALL TAF SITES WILL REMAIN BELOW 2000 FEET THROUGH 12Z
THURSDAY...WITH EXTENDED PERIODS OF IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS.
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH 18Z.
SOUTHEAST WILL HOLD CLOUDS AND RAIN IN ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING. A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HEADING NORTH OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA MAY REACH
DANVILLE BY 13Z...HOWEVER...MSAS ANALYSIS STILL SHOWS THAT THESE
STRONGER CELLS ARE MOVING INTO A MORE STABLE AIRMASS. HAVE HELD
THUNDER OUT OF THE DAN TAF FOR NOW.
LOW LEVEL EAST TO SOUTHEAST JET WILL STAY AT 25 TO 35 KNOTS TODAY
WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS SHIFTING FROM THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
INTO MARYLAND AND PENNSYLVANIA BY THIS EVENING. HAVE EXTENDED THE
TIME THAT LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS LIKELY AT ALL TAF SITES BUT DAN.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS AN UPPER
TROF MOVES EAST OF THE AREA AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AT THE
SURFACE.
