AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
411 PM EDT WED AUG 5 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM THE NEW ENGLAND ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
TO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC REGION TONIGHT AND THURSDAY AND
WILL BE APPROACHING THE COAST BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT AND WILL BE CENTERED
OVER WEST VIRGINIA FRIDAY MORNING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WILL CROSS
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING. THE
AIRMASS OVER THE COUNTY WARNING AREA IS UNSTABLE AND VERY MOIST SO
THE THREAT OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS AND VERY HEAVY RAIN WILL
CONTINUE UNTIL THE FRONT GOES THROUGH ON THURSDAY. MUCH OF THE
GUIDANCE HAS THE SURFACE AND 850 MB COLD FRONT EAST OF THE COUNTY
WARNING AREA BY 18Z THURSDAY.

SOME OF DRIER AIR EVEN STARTS WORKING IN TO THE NORTHWEST COUNTY
WARNING AREA THURSDAY MORNING. PATCHY FOG HAS BEEN ADDED EARLY
THURSDAY BUT UNTIL THEN OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ON THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT THE UPPER LEVEL TROF AXIS
MOVES JUST OFF THE EAST COAST. AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT AND WILL BE CENTERED OVER WEST
VIRGINIA AT 12Z FRIDAY. MODELS ARE SHOWING SLIGHTLY COOLER 850 MB
TEMPERATURES...IN THE +12 TO +14 RANGE...SO OVERNIGHT LOWS ON
THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE BACK DOWN IN THE 50S FOR MUCH OF THE AREA
WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF AN MCS TYPE SYSTEM TRACKING SOUTHEAST
DOWN THE WARM FRONT. EVEN IF WHATEVER SYSTEM DEVELOPS OR TRACKS
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY NIGHT WEAKENS AS IT
APPROACHES...THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH WARM AIR ADVECTION AND LIFT
OVER THE WARM FRONT ON SATURDAY FOR A BAND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST PART OF THE
COUNTY WARNING AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS 500 MB HEIGHTS RISE...THE SURFACE WARM FRONT MOVES WELL EAST OF
THE FORECAST AREA. HAVE SLIGHTLY INCREASED HIGHS TEMPERATURES ON
SUNDAY BASED ON THE LATEST MAV GUIDANCE. MOST ENSEMBLE DATA AS
WELL AS THE CANADIAN AND GEFS HAVE TEMPERATURES AROUND +20 ON
SUNDAY.

THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO FLATTEN BY TUESDAY. AS THE RIDGE WEAKENS
AND HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST...RETURN FLOW AROUND THE HIGH BEGINS
TO BRING BACK MOISTURE AND LIFT. THE CHANCE OF DIURNAL SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES EACH DAY THROUGH THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LATEST VIS SAT IMAGERY SHOWS MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS THE RNK
CWA. CONVECTIVE CLOUDS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF SW VA AND ESPECIALLY NC. EXPECT CONVECTION TO FIRE AND
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD BETWEEN 17 AND 19Z AS CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE
REACHED AND AS THE MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE OVER E KY MOVES E AND
PROVIDES FORCING FOR ASCENT. MAINLY VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED
THIS AFTN IN MOST SPOTS BUT CONVECTION WILL PRODUCE REDUCED VSBYS
AND CIGS.

CONVECTION WILL LIKELY PERSIST FOR AWHILE TONIGHT WITH THE FRONT
LAGGING TO THE NW THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING AND SHORT WAVE TROUGH
AXIS REMAINING NEAR THE SPINE F THE APPALACHIANS THROUGH MIDNIGHT.
CONVECTION MAY ARRIVE IN SEVERAL WAVES UNTIL UPPER TROF SLIPS E OF
THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. SOME MVFR FOG EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT TOWARD
DAYBREAK IN PREFERRED LOCATIONS BUT PROXIMITY TO FRONT AND FAIRLY
DECENT CLOUD COVER SHOULD LIMIT ITS MAGNITUDE. ANOTHER ROUND OF
AFTERNOON CONVECTION CAN BE EXPECTED E OF THE MTNS TOWARD THE END OF
THIS TAF PERIOD ON THURS AFTN.

LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD FROM THURSDAY INTO SUNDAY...
COLD FRONT STALLS ACROSS THE REGION THRU LATE IN THE WEEK SUPPORTING
