AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
152 AM EDT WED JUN 17 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA WILL OSCILLATE OVER
THE REGION THROUGH WEDNESDAY. IMPULSES RIDING ALONG THE BOUNDARY
WILL DELIVER ADDITIONAL CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS INTO THURSDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL SLIDE INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH BY LATE
WEEK BEFORE ANOTHER COLD FRONT ARRIVES FOR THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
NOW THAT THE MCS SQUALL LINE HAS MOVED UP INTO THE STABLE AIR OVER
THE CWA AND WEAKENED...WE HAVE DROPPED THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WATCH AND OUR FOCUS TURNS BACK TO THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL.

MODELS SHOW CONTINUED MOISTURE TRANSPORT EAST-NORTHEAST INTO
TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEY OVERNIGHT. MOSAIC ED RADAR SHOWS
SHOWERS/TSTMS LINING UP IN A NW TO SE BROAD BAND WHERE THE BETTER
CONVERGENCE IS- AGAIN LIKE LAST NIGHT...THIS SEEMS TO BE NEAR THE
850 MB FRONT. LOOKS LIKE STRONGEST CONVERGENCE ALONG WITH BEST
MOISTURE FLUX WILL BE MORE ACROSS THE NWRN CWA OVERNIGHT- SE WV
AND VA BORDER COUNTIES. WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF TRAINING
SHOWERS AND ELEVATED TSTMS WITH HEAVY TO VERY HEAVY RAIN. CURRENT
FLASH FLOOD WATCH LOOKS GOOD- I DON/T THINK THERE IS ANY NEED TO
EXPAND IT FURTHER EAST. OUT EAST IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE PRECIP IS
LIKELY TO BE MORE OF A STRATIFORM NATURE AND HIGHLY LINKED TO
UPSLOPE FLOW ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE.

WEAK SURFACE TROF/FRONT TRAILING THE REMNANT MCS WILL PUSH IN FROM
THE WEST WED WITH YET ANOTHER ROUND OF LIFT POSSIBLE. MODELS
CONTINUE TO HAVE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS REGARDING EXACTLY
WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL FROM IMPULSE TO THE WEST MAY END
UP...WITH THE NAM TOO FAR NORTH WHILE THE GFS/LOCAL WRF FARTHER
SOUTH WHICH SEEMS TO LINE UP WELL WITH THE CURRENT TRENDS. LATEST
QPF GIVING TOTALS OF ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES FROM THE BLUE RIDGE WEST
WITH LOCALLY HIGHER TOTALS LIKELY IF CONVECTION GETS MIXED IN.
SINCE FFG QUITE LOW IN SPOTS...WILL GO AHEAD AN ISSUE A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FOR MOST OF THE WEST FOR TONIGHT THRU WEDNESDAY. OTRW
KEPT POPS BASICALLY LIKELY/CAT OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS WITH MORE OF
A CONVECTIVE/ISOLATED SVR THREAT ON THE SW PERIPHERY WHERE A FEW
BREAKS COULD OCCUR ON WED. NOT A LOT OF DIURNAL CHANGE TO GOING
TEMPS WITH LOWS MAINLY IN THE LOW/MID 60S TONIGHT AND HIGHS
INCHING INTO THE LOW/MID 70S MOST SPOTS WED AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT OUR WET IMPULSE OF ENERGY WILL SWING NORTHEAST INTO
NEW ENGLAND...TAKING ITS PRECIPITATION WITH IT. PRECIPITATION WILL
DECREASE IN COVERAGE FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
NIGHT...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY END IT BY DAYBREAK
THURSDAY. WILL STILL PROBABLY HAVE SLIGHT CHANCES IN THE FAR
SOUTHWEST AND MID RANGE CHANCE POPS IN THE NORTHEAST AT THIS TIME.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WE WILL SEE THE BEGINNINGS OF A SHIFT IN THE
LONG WAVE PATTERN ACROSS CONUS. THE PERSISTENT UPPER RIDGE OVER TEXAS
WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EASTWARD INTO THE DEEP SOUTH. THIS WILL HAVE THE
IMPACT OF LIFTING A WARM FRONT THROUGH AND THEN NORTH OF OUR AREA
WITH INCREASING HEIGHTS/TEMPERATURE ACROSS THE REGION. THE FOCUS FOR
PRECIPITATION WILL BE ACROSS WESTERN PARTS OF THE AREA ON THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...AND THEN ACROSS THE
FAR NORTH OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY. HIGHS THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE LOW
TO MID 80S IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH MID UPPER 80S EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. ON FRIDAY...PROGGED GFS 850 MB TEMPS ARE AROUND 22 TO 24 C.
WILL HAVE HIGHS FRIDAY IN THE UPPER 80S IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH LOW TO
MID 90S EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WILL BE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE PUT FORTH FROM HPC REGARDING THIS TIME
PERIOD. THE PREFERRED SOLUTION WILL CLOSELY MATCH THAT OF THE ECMWF.
LOW/TROUGH PROGGED TO PASS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND NEW ENGLAND
THIS COMING WEEKEND WITH THE BULK OF ITS ENERGY REMAINING NORTH OF
THE MASON DIXON LINE. OUR BEST CHANCES OF ITS INFLUENCE FOR OUR AREA
WILL BE ON SATURDAY AS THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH THE
AREA. THIS FEATURE WILL FLATTEN THE STRONG RIDGE OVER THE AREA BUT
NOT BEFORE ONE OF THE WARMEST DAY SO FAR THIS YEAR ON SATURDAY...AND
THEN THE RIDGE WILL RETROGRADE BACK TO THE CENTRAL U.S. LEAVING US
SOMEWHAT COOLER FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK. THE AREA WILL ALSO BE IN
BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND THE DEPARTING TROUGH POTENTIALLY SETTING UP
THE TRAIN TRACKS FOR SOME CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES TO HEAD INTO THE AREA
FROM THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
12Z. HEAVY RAIN...RESULTING IN MVFR TO IFR VISIBILITIES IS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY CLOSE TO THE SHORT WAVE THAT WAS ENTERING
WESTERN WEST VIRGINIA AT 06Z. A STRONG WEDGE REMAINS IN PLACE OVER
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA SO CEILINGS WILL BE IFR OR
LOWER...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

ALL SITES WILL THEN REMAIN REMAIN IFR THRU WED MORNING. BLF
AND LWB WILL LIFT EARLIEST...AND WILL QUICKLY BECOME UNSTABLE
WITH TSTMS IN THE AREA. THE TAF SITES ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE MTNS
WILL BE VERY SLOW TO LIFT...BUT HAVE IMPROVED CEILINGS TO MVFR OR
VFR BY THE END OF THE DAY.

CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE WED NIGHT AS A WEAK FRONT MOVES THRU THE
REGION FROM THE WEST BRINGING MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS FOR THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE WHERE WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS FORM DURING THE AFTERNOON FRIDAY/SAT. MORNING
FOG IN THE VALLEYS WILL RESULT IN IFR TO MVFR VISIBILITIES.
