AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
720 PM EDT WED AUG 19 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE AS HIGH PRESSURE
ERODES. A COLD FRONT WILL DRIFT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC AND
STALL ALONG THE COAST THIS WEEKEND. A SOMEWHAT COOLER AND DRIER
BUBBLE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC FOR
MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UPDATED POPS BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS WITH LINE EXITING THE
EAST AND RE-ENTERING NW NC AND GRAYSON HIGHLANDS. SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE OVER THE AREA THROUGH THIS
EVENING...THEN DIMINISH THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST ALONG BLUE RIDGE
THROUGH SUNSET THEN WANE WITH LOSS OF INSOLATION. MAIN THREAT FROM
THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL...SUPPORTED BY HIGH PWATS IN
NEIGHBORHOOD OF 1.6 TO 2.0 INCHES. MEAN WIND OF ABOUT 15 KTS IS
MOVING THINGS ALONG...SO UNLESS WE EXPERIENCE ANY BACKBUILDING OR
ANCHORING...WILL HOPEFULLY SEE NO MORE THAN A GULLY WASHER. STORM
CORES HAVE NOT BEEN THAT HIGH...BUT CANT RULE OUT A PULSE STORM
THAT MAY RESULT IN AN ISOLATED 50 KT WIND GUST.

FOR THE OVERNIGHT WILL TAPER POPS TO JUST A CHANCE THREAT. CANT
RULE OUT LINGERING SHOWER PER SOUPY AIRMASS AND RESIDUAL OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS. LOOK FOR A MUGGY NIGHT WITH TEMPS REMAINING
AOA 70 ALONG AND EAST OF BLUE RIDGE...AND IN THE 60S IN THE MTNS.
DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN IN THE U60S TO L70S.

FOR THURSDAY...LOOK FOR A REPEAT OF WEDNESDAY. RESERVOIR OF HIGH
PWATS IN THE 1.6 TO 2.0 INCH RANGE WILL GIVE STORMS ANOTHER CHANCE
TO DEVELOP WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY...AND THERE WILL BE THE
THREAT OF LOCALLIZED HEAVY RAINFALL. STILL DO NOT THINK HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FLOOD
WATCH...ESPECIALLY SINCE MEAN WIND IS FCST TO BE 15 KNOTS OR MORE.

TEMPS THURSDAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO WEDNESDAY WITH 70S/80S IN THE
MTNS AND THE POTENTIAL TO REACH THE LOWER 90S ACROSS SOUTHSIDE VA
AND THE PIEDMONT OF NC. DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN NEAR 70...SO IT WILL
BE HUMID.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
FLASH FLOODING THREAT WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT WILL
JUST KEEP FLASH FLOOD WATCH MENTION IN THE HWO FOR NOW.
SHOWERS/STORMS SHOULD SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION IN A SIMILAR
FASHION ON THURSDAY IN COMPARISON TO TODAY...WITH THE HEAVIEST
RAIN ALONG SE WEST VA. STORMS WILL BE MOVING QUICKER ON FRIDAY BUT
THAT WILL ONLY ADD TO THE SVR POTENTIAL THAT DAY...AS HODOGRAPHS
LENGTHEN AND 0-6KM SHR RUNS FROM 30 TO 40 M/S. MOISTEN LADEN
SOUNDING THOUGH WILL LIMIT CAPE...ALTHOUGH THE AMOUNT OF SHR MAY
BE ABLE TO MAKE UP FOR THE LACK OF THERMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY. INTO
THE WEEKEND...THE NAM IS DEEPER AND STRONGER WITH THE H5 TROUGH
AND ASSOCIATED SHRTWVS...AND HOLD A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF PRECIP
THROUGH MOST OF THE CWA ON SATURDAY. WHILE A SLOWER EASTWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT IS FAVORED...DRIER AIR ARRIVING WILL HELP
TO CUT THE PRECIP OFF FASTER THAN THE NAM SUGGESTS. STILL SOME
LIFT REMAINING SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WITH LLVL MOISTURE AND
RESULTING CLDS COULD KEEP MAX T ON SUNDAY COOLER THAN
GUIDANCE...ESPECIALLY LWB/BLF/JFZ CORRIDOR WITH +14C AT H85.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL SIT ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON SUNDAY. A
FEW DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH THE REGION THROUGH THE BACKSIDE OF
THE TROUGH. HOWEVER...THIS WEAK SHRTWV WILL HAVE TO FIGHT A DRY
PROFILE...SO NOT MUCH PRECIP MAY BE GENERATED FROM IT EVEN ACROSS
THE SOUTHSIDE AND PIEDMONT. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL ARRIVE WITH
HIGH PRESSURE ON MONDAY AS H85 TEMPS DROP TO AROUND +13C. ANOTHER
SHOT OF WARMER AIR WILL ARRIVE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO
ARRIVE ON THURSDAY...LEAVING ANOTHER DECENT EASTERN TROUGH AND
SOMEWHAT COOLER TEMPERATURES IN ITS WAKE.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VERY MOIST TROPICAL AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH FRIDAY WITH
POTENTIAL FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE...ESPECIALLY
DURING THE PEAK HEATING OF THE AFTERNOON. AFTER SUNSET THE SHOWERS
WILL WANE...BUT WITH HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER
AND LINGER INSTABILITIES...A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE
NIGHT ALONG WITH PATCHY FOG AND STRATUS DECK.

A SHOWER THREAT WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING WITH THE
BEST CHANCES ALONG THE NC/VA BORDER TO INCLUDED KDAN. THUNDERSTORM
THREAT DECREASES WITH LOSE OF HEATING BUT CAN NOT BE TOTALLY RULED
OUT. WITH THE CONVECTION THREAT DECREASING...WILL NOT INCLUDED IN
00Z TAFS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL RE-ENTER THE AREA AROUND
14Z THURSDAY ACROSS THE WEST AND AFTER 16Z ALONG AND EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE. DEEPER CONVECTION WITH POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER WILL BE
EMBEDDED WITHIN THESE NUMEROUS SHOWERS.

A PATTERN CHANGE IS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND. A FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
COME THROUGH SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR SHOWER UP UNTIL FROPA.
COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR WILL ARRIVE LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND FOR
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
