AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
104 AM EDT TUE MAY 26 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
PLENTY OF ATLANTIC MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM NORTH INTO THE
REGION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND ENCOUNTER A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
THAT WILL BE STALLED JUST TO OUR NORTH. THIS WILL KEEP US IN A
PREDOMINATELY A WET PATTERN THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. WE
WILL BEGIN TO DRY OUT NEXT WEEKEND IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD
FRONT THAT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA BY FRIDAY MORNING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING LATE THIS
EVENING BUT THE TREND IS NOW TOWARD DECREASING COVERAGE. VERY
MOIST AIR MASS AND SUSTAINED SOUTH-SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL PROBABLY
KEEP A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS GOING ON INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. THE MAIN FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS NORTH OF THE CWA THROUGH
THE DAY AND THE MORE ORGANIZED OVERRUNNING PATTERN SHOULD STAY
NORTH ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. WITH RENEWED HEATING DURING THE DAY
THERE WILL BE MORE SHOWERS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON...HOWEVER
BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS DEVELOP A WAVE WITHIN THE SOUTHEAST FLOW
WHICH WOULD BRING ADDITONAL RAINFALL TO PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
VIRGINIA IN THE MORNING AND WOULD IMPACT EASTERN PORTIONS OF
SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA. THIS FEATURE THEN CONTINUES NORTHWEST THROUGH
THE REGION DURING THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
EXPECT A PERSISTENCE PATTERN OF HIT AND MISS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH VERY MUGGY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF THE NORTHEAST COAST WHILE AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE REMAINS IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THESE TWO RIDGES WILL
CONTINUE TO KEEP BLOCKING ANY WEATHER FEATURES FROM PROGRESSING TO
THE EAST. REMNANTS OF THE GULF TROPICAL LOW WILL BE IN THE MID
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TUESDAY EVENING. THIS LOW WILL INTERACT WITH THE
NORTHEAST COASTAL SURFACE HIGH...CREATING A LOW LEVEL JET CENTERED
OVER PA. WITH A CONTINUED MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW...A SHORT WAVE IN THE
VICINITY...AND THE AREA BEING IN THE ENTRANCE REGION OF THIS
JET...MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY EVENING
AND COULD POSSIBLY LINGER DEEP INTO THE NIGHT. WITH A SATURATED
ATMOSPHERE...PWATS RUNNING ABOVE NORMAL AND WEAK STEERING FLOW
ALOFT...SLOW MOVING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE HEAVY
DOWNPOURS AND LOCALIZE FLOODING.

SPOTTY MORNING SHOWERS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AS THE REMNANTS OF THE TROPICAL LOW DRIFTS EVER SO SLOWLY
INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. STEERING FLOW DOES INCREASE SOME...THEREFORE
STORMS WILL MOVE A LITTLE FASTER THAN THE PREVIOUS COUPLE OF DAYS.
HOWEVER...TROPICAL-LIKE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY A FLASH
FLOOD THREAT WITH PWATS REMAIN HIGH AND ABOVE NORMAL.

WEDNESDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL HOVER AROUND NORMAL...BUT WITH THE
ELEVATED DEW POINTS...IT WILL SEEM WARMER THAN IT ACTUALLY IS.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN MUGGY WITH READING 10-15F
ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
RIDGING IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL DRIFT TO THE EAST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND ALLOW A COLD FRONT TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. A LEE
TROUGH AND APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL BRING A BETTER CHANCE FOR A
LINE OF SHOWERS TO TRACK ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT. THIS LINE MAY NOT BE AS ORGANIZED AS A TYPICAL FRONTAL
PASSAGE AS MODELS ARE INDICATING THE TROPICAL LOW TO TRACK ACROSS
NEW ENGLAND AND ANOTHER WAVE TO FORM ALONG THE FRONT OVER THE
GULF COAST. DESPITE THE ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE REGION...ENERGY
WITH THIS FRONT COULD SPLIT THE BULK OF THE SHOWERS TO THE NORTH AND
SOUTH. MEASURABLE RAINFALL WITH THIS FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE IN THE
LIKELY RANGE OF 60 PERCENT.

THE FRONT COULD BE OUT OF THE AREA BY SUNRISE FRIDAY MORNING...WITH
COOLER AND DRY CONDITIONS PREVAILING INTO THE WEEKEND. CAN NOT RULE
OUT INCREASING POPS INTO THE WEEKEND AS THIS BOUNDARY COULD LIFT
BACK INTO THE REGION WITH A SURFACE WAVE TRACKING ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST COASTAL STATES ON SATURDAY. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP POPS UNDER
20 PERCENT AND SEE HOW THINGS PROGRESS THROUGH THE WEEK.

THE NOTICEABLE DIFFERENT IN TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE
OVERNIGHT LOWS AND DEW POINTS DROPPING BACK TO NORMAL. DAY TIME
HIGHS WILL CONTINUE TO HOVER AROUND NORMAL INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS THE
BLUE RIDGE LATE TONIGHT AND EXPECT SEVERAL MORE HOURS OF THIS
ACTIVITY. HARD TO SPECIFY THE EXACT LOCATION OF THESE SHOWERS BUT
ARE OF LIMITED AREAL EXTENT AND ARE CONTINUING TO MOVE FROM THE
SOUTH AT 10 TO 15 MPH. SHOWERS COULD BRIEFLY REDUCE VSBYS/CIGS TO
MVFR/IFR BUT DO NOT EXPECT PROLONGED POOR CONDITIONS AT ANY ONE
SITE. BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER TO ISOLATED COVERAGE
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. HOWEVER CIGS WILL LIKELY LOWER TO MVFR AT
TIMES OUTSIDE OF RAINFALL ESPCLY ACROSS THE NORTH TOWARD MORNING
AS A WEAK FRONT TO THE NORTH SLIPS A BIT CLOSER. VSBYS WILL TREND
TO MVFR IN SPOTS DUE TO FOG BY LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY
MORNING. SHOWERS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE ONCE AGAIN BY LATE
TUESDAY MORNING AS ANOTHER WEAK IMPULSE APPROACHES FROM THE SE.
CIG/VSBY CATEGORIES WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR/VFR BY LATE MORNING BUT
POOR CONDITIONS MAY PERSIST ALONG/EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE INTO THE
AFTERNOON. MODELS ALSO SHOW THE POTENTIAL BEST COVERAGE OF SHOWERS
IN THE EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON SO INCLUDING A PREVAILING MENTION
EASTERN SITES AND VICINITY IN THE WEST. SHOWERS SHOULD AGAIN TAPER
OFF LATER TUESDAY NIGHT WITH MORE LOW CLOUDS/FOG LIKELY INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY.

WE WILL REMAIN IN A WET PATTERN THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK WITH
PERIODS OF INCREASED CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION. PROLONGED PERIODS
OF SUB-VFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE EXPECTED ESPCLY THRU THURSDAY BEFORE
SOME DRYING DEVELOPS BEHIND A PASSING COLD FRONT FOR THE END OF
THE WEEK INTO SATURDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD ADVISORY ISSUED EARLIER THIS EVENING FOR NORTHWEST TAZEWELL
COUNTY CANCELED AS RAINS SHIFTED TO THE EAST AND OUT OF THE INDIAN
CREEK BASIN...NO FLOOD REPORTS WERE RECEIVED. HIT AND MISS
TROPICAL TYPE SHOWERS PRODUCED POCKETS OF MODERATELY HEAVY RAINFALL
OVER PORTIONS OF MAINLY THE WESTERN CWA THE LAST 6 HOURS
OR...GENERALLY IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE ON RADAR AND RAIN GAGES. THE
SPORADIC COVERAGE WAS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO CAUSE NOTICEABLE RISES ON
THE LARGER RIVERS AND STREAMS. QPF IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS PER HPC IN
THE 0.50 TO 0.75 INCH RANGE WHICH WILL AGAIN BE SPORADIC IN
COVERAGE.
