AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
336 PM EDT TUE AUG 11 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE SLOWLY INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND IS
EXPECTED TO STALL JUST SOUTH OF THE VIRGINIA BORDER INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LEADING LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DRIVEN BY OUTFLOW FROM
STORMS THAT DEVELOPED IN THE MTNS EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. THESE
STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE EASTWARD INTO SOUTHSIDE VA AND
THE NW NC PIEDMONT INTO EARLY EVENING. MEANWHILE...WATER VAPOR SHOWS
A SHORT WAVE MOVING UP INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AT THIS TIME...AND
SHOWERS/WEAKER STORMS IN THE MTNS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING
HOURS AS THEY BEGIN TO FEEL THE AFFECTS OF THE FALLING
HEIGHTS/COOLING TEMPS ALOFT. IN ADDITION...RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF
THE JET MOVES ACROSS TONIGHT. SO I HAVE SOME LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE
SOUTH INTO EARLY EVENING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LINE OF STORMS...AND
THEN KEEP CHC POPS MOST OF THE NIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SHORT WAVE
PASSING BY.

ON WEDNESDAY...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT THE SFC FRONT WILL
TRY TO JUMP INTO THE LEE TROUGH...WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA IN NC. WHILE I THINK THAT IS WHERE THE DEEPER MOISTURE AND
BETTER SFC CONVERGENCE WILL LIKELY BE...THE AIRMASS ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA WILL STILL BE MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH SOME HEATING.
THE 500 MB TROUGH AXIS IS STILL TO OUR WEST...WITH MORE SHORT WAVE
ENERGY PASSING ACROSS THE AREA. I HAVE KEPT THE HIGH CH/LIKELY POPS
THAT WE HAD GOING...WITH THE LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH CLOSER TO
THE SFC BOUNDARY. DAY 2 SPC OUTLOOK STILL HAS A SLIGHT RISK ACROSS
THE FAR SERN CWA- WILL DEPEND ON AMOUNT OF HEATING WE CAN
GET...SHOULD BE A GOOD AMOUNT OF SHEAR.

AS FOR TEMPS...HAVE LOWERED THE MIN TEMPS A FEW DEGREES IN THE
MTNS...BUT STILL MILD- IN THE 60S MOST LOCATIONS WITH SOME LOWER 70S
IN THE PIEDMONT. HIGH WILL BE QUITE A BIT COOLER WEDNESDAY WITH MORE
CLOUD COVER. HAVE STAYED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE WITH UPPER 70S MTNS TO
MID 80S PIEDMONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
MID RANGE MODELS IN A BIT BETTER AGREEMENT TODAY IN PLACEMENT AND
TIMING OF SLOWLY PROGRESSIVE UPPER TROF THAT WILL SLOWLY AMPLIFY AND
DRIFT EAST OUT OF THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS TO ALONG THE SPINE
OF THE BLUE RIDGE BY LATER THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY BEFORE CLOSING
OFF AND GRADUALLY FILLING. EXACT PLACEMENT OF WHERE THE UPPER
FEATURE WILL CLOSE OFF WILL LARGELY INFLUENCE THIS FORECAST IN THE
MID RANGE PERIOD.

BACKING FLOW ALOFT WILL SLOW SOUTHEASTWARD PROGRESSION OF SURFACE
COOL FRONT...WHICH WILL LIKELY BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY SOMEWHERE
OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION INTO THE CAROLINAS DURING THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE WITH WEAK FORCING PROVIDED BY
A SERIES OF WEAK UPSTREAM SHORT WAVES ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE
DEEPENING UPPER TROF SHOULD RESULT IN A LARGE AREA OF
PRECIPITATION OVER THE REGION.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT LARGE AREA OF RAIN COOLED AIR WILL DRIVE
SHALLOW SURFACE BOUNDARY JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE BLACKSBURG
FORECAST AREA BEFORE THE START OF THE MID TERM PERIOD...MAINTAINING
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT ALONG OUR SOUTHEASTERN FLANKS...WITH COOL
WEDGE OF AIR...ABUNDANT CLOUDS...AND RAIN WITH ELEVATED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

BATTLE WILL EXIST BETWEEN SOUTHEASTWARD PROGRESSION OF RAIN COOLED
AIR/COOL WEDGE AND ATTENDANT UPPER TROF...AND HOW AGGRESSIVELY THE
BERMUDA HIGH CAN BACK-BUILD NORTHWESTWARD AGAINST IT. IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT THE UPPER HIGH MAY OVER CUT THE TROF...RESULTING IN A WEAK REX
BLOCK WITH RIDGING TO THE NORTH AND A CLOSED TROF OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES. IF THIS SCENARIO COMES TO FRUITION...IT WILL
SPELL A PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAIN EAST AND SOUTH OF THE BLUE RIDGE
INTO THE WEEKEND...WHICH COULD CREST THE RIDGE AND SPILL
NORTHWESTWARD IF THE UPPER TROF TO THE SOUTH RETROGRESSES
NORTHWESTWARD.

WITH THE ABOVE IN MIND...WILL BE RUNNING WITH RELATIVELY COOL
DAYTIME HIGHS AND MILD NIGHTTIME LOWS WITH FLATTENED/MODERATED
DIURNAL TEMPERATURE CURVE ALONG WITH A GOOD THREAT OF
PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY SOUTHEAST. MAV/MEX GUIDANCE VERY CLOSE
AND CONSISTENT FOR NIGHTTIME LOWS THROUGH THE PERIOD AND GENERALLY
ACCEPTED. HOWEVER...MET GUIDANCE AND LOCAL MOSMOS GUIDANCE COMING
IN MUCH COOLER BY DAY THAN MAV GUIDANCE...AND CONSIDERING THE COOL
WEDGE THAT SHOULD BE IN PLACE...THE COOLER GUIDANCE WAS GENERALLY
ACCEPTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS INDICATED IN THE ABOVE DISCUSSION...POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF WEAK
REX BLOCKING PATTERN MAY CONTINUE PRECIPITATION THREAT ABOVE
CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND PERHAPS INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK UNTIL UPPER RIDGE CAN BUILD SUFFICIENTLY WEST AND SOUTH TO
DISPLACE/FILL UPPER TROF NORTHWARD AND ALLOW UPPER FLOW OVER
BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA TO BECOME MORE ZONAL. HPC FORECAST
GUIDANCE GENERALLY ACCEPTED THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH TEMPERATURES
A BIT BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS...DUE MAINLY TO GREATER AMOUNT OF
CLOUD COVER AND ONGOING THREAT OF PRECIPITATION.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SFC FRONT CONTINUES TO APPROACH THE REGION FROM ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY AREA. BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE
MTNS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE INCLUDED VICINITY TSTMS IN
ALL TAF SITES...BUT HAVE TEMP GROUPS JUST IN BLF AND LWB. THERE IS
A CHANCE THAT STORMS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND UPPER DYNAMICS
BECOME BETTER...BUT RIGHT NOW LOOKS LIKE THOSE STORMS WILL
PROBABLY BE SOUTH OF THE BLACKSBURG TAF SITES- MAYBE CLOSE TO
DANVILLE. WITH SOME CLEARING LATE TONIGHT...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR
MVFR FOG TO DEVELOP MOST SITES. WEAK UPSLOPE WEST FLOW INTO THE
MTNS WILL LIKELY BRING IFR CIG BLF...POSSIBLY TO LWB. ANY FOG
STRATUS SHOULD LIFT BY 14Z WED.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AGAIN WED AFTERNOON...BUT
WITH THE BEST COVERAGE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT WHICH WILL BE
DRAPED ACROSS THE REGION...THE HIGHEST CHANCES WILL BE AT
DANVILLE...AND AFTER 18Z...SO NOT IN THE TAF AT THIS TIME.

THE FRONT OVER THE REGION WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS FOR
ORGANIZED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THURSDAY. MORE TYPICAL
AIRMASS TYPE AFT/EVE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY THRU
SUNDAY...WITH THE BEST COVERAGE IN THE MTNS.
