AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
959 PM EDT FRI AUG 21 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIAN
MOUNTAINS WILL BE MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC
REGION TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. MUCH COOLER AND DRIER HIGH PRESSURE
WILL EVENTUALLY SHOVE THE FRONT OFF THE COAST LATE THIS WEEKEND
AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. A WARM UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO
EXTEND EAST TO THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
DESPITE DECENT SFC INSTABILITY WITH CAPES STILL 2000 J/KG OR MORE
IN THE PIEDMONT...WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES SEEM TO BE KEEPING
MUCH CONVECTION FROM TAKING OFF. HAVE CANCELLED THE SVR TSTM WATCH
THAT WAS IN EFFECT IN THE PIEDMONT AREAS. HAVE ALSO LOWERED POPS
QUITE A BIT THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS TO REFLECT MORE OF A WIDELY
SCATTERED COVERAGE. AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES CLOSER OVERNIGHT AND
TEMPS ALOFT COOL...WE STILL SHOULD SEE GOOD COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS/TSTMS RE-DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
00Z RNK AND GSO SOUNDINGS STILL SHOW >1500 J/KG OF ELEVATED CAPE
WITH THE SFC LAYER STABILIZING A LITTLE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE SFC FNT
IS STALLED ON THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE APPLNS...AND WATER VAPOR
SHOWS A STRONG SHORT WAVE DIGGING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND
BRINGING A PLUME OF MOISTURE NEWD FROM THE GULF COAST STATES.
MEANWHILE THE RUC SHOWS TEMPS ALOFT COOLING RAPIDLY FROM THE WEST
AND SOUTHWEST. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE INCREASING OVERNIGHT. WITH PWATS
STILL 1.5 TO 1.9 INCHES...I HAVE KEPT IN A MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN
AS WELL. FINALLY...WITH DEWPOINTS RUNNING IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND NO DRIER AIR EXPECTED TO REACH THAT
AREA...HAVE RAISED LOW TEMPS A FEW DEGREES IN THE EAST.

WITH THE FRONT SLOWING UP IN RESPONSE TO THE DIGGING SHORT WAVE
AND APPROACH OF H-BILL THINK IT WISE TO HOLD ONTO FAIRLY HIGH POPS
SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

WE SHOULD STILL BE WARY OF THE HIGH PWATS AND POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL. IN SPITE OF THE FAST MEAN WIND FLOW...HIGH RAIN RATES IN
COMBINATION WITH ANY TRAINING OR ANCHORING OF SHRA/TSRA WILL
RESULT IN QUICK ACCUMULATIONS AND POTENTIAL FOR RAPID RUNOFF.

TEMPS TONIGHT AND SATURDAY WILL REMAIN WARM AND MUGGY...DEWPOINTS
REMAINING ABOVE 65.

AS HURRICANE BILL MOVES UP THE EAST COAST...LOOK FOR GRADUAL END
TO PRECIP THREAT ONCE THE HURRICANE PULLS NORTH OF 40 DEG
LAT...AND ALLOWING THE COLD FRONT TO ACCELERATE EAST. ADVECTION OF
DRYER BOUNDARY LAYER AIR INTO THE AREA WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL
THIS OCCURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
HURRICANE BILL WILL LIFT NORTHEAST AWAY FROM REGION. SEE NHC
DISCUSSION AND ADVISORIES FOR MORE INFO. 12Z NAM MATCHED 15Z NHC
TRACK BETTER THAN GFS.

PLAYED THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE EAST SATURDAY EVENING...AND TAPER OFF
OVERNIGHT. WENT WITH LOW TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO MET GUID. THE FRONT
WILL PUSH EAST TO THE COAST BY SUNDAY MORNING. DRIER AIR MOVE INTO
THE WEST SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH DEWPOINTS FALLING INTO THE
50S...EXCEPT REMAINING THE LOWER TO MID 60S OUT EAST.

KEPT CHC OF SHOWERS/ISOLATED STORMS ON SUNDAY AS COOL POOL PUSHES
NEARBY. POSTED HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY FROM THE LOWER 70S IN THE
NORTHWEST TO THE MID 80S IN THE SOUTHEAST. PLAYED SUNDAY NIGHT DRY
WITH LOWS NEAR ADJMET. MONDAY...POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS
EXISTS IN THE MTNS AS SECONDARY TROUGH PUSHES OVER THE MID ATLANTIC.
HIGHS ON MONDAY WILL VARY FROM THE LOWER 70S IN THE GREENBRIER
VALLEY TO THE MID 80S IN THE SOUTHEAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FOLLOWED HPCGUIDE FOR MEDIUM RANGE WHICH INCORPORATE A BLEND OF ENS
MEANS OF BOTH GFS AND ECMWF.

BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...THE UPPER RIDGE EXPANDS EAST TO THE
COAST AHEAD OF A SLOWLY SOUTHWARD SINKING FRONT NEAR THE END OF
NEXT WEEK. AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY...THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC SHOULD HEAT
UP ONCE AGAIN WITH H85 TEMPS APPROACHING +18C. FRONTAL BOUNDARY
STALLS TO OUR SOUTH ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA ON FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL REMAIN ISOLD TO SCT THROUGH 04Z TO 06Z...THEN
ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE OVERNIGHT AN UPPER TROUGH AND
ITS ASSOCIATED SFC FNT APPROACHES. THINK THESE SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL
HAVE ENOUGH COVERAGE TO HAVE PREVAILING SHOWERS AND VCNTY TSTMS IN
THE ALL OF THE TAF SITES. THE BULK OF THIS WAVE OF SHOWERS LOOKS
TO BE IN THE 06 TO 12Z TIME FRAME AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE
MTNS. IN ADDITION...IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...THINK THAT WITH VERY
MOIST LOWER LEVELS...MVFR FOG IS LIKELY...AND POSSIBLY SOME IFR
FOG/STRATUS. THE FNT WILL HANG UP IN THE MTNS AND THEN GETS A GOOD
PUSH SATURDAY WITH A SECOND SHORT WAVE. SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL RE-
DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AT THIS
TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE THE BULK OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE FROM ROA
EASTWARD...SO I HAVE INCLUDED CB IN THE CLOUD GROUP FOR ROA...LYH
AND DAN BEGINNING 16 OR 17Z SATURDAY.

THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO CROSS THE AREA UNTIL HURRICANE BILL
PASSES NORTH OF 40 DEG LAT LATE SAT AFT OR EVENING. AFTER
THAT...THE WINDS SHOULD BECOME NORTHWEST ALLOWING FOR DRIER AIR TO
INFILTRATE THE AREA FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. THE FRONT WILL FINALLY
BE EAST OF US SUNDAY.

DRIER AIR ARRIVES TO THE AREA SUNDAY AND INTO THE FIRST OF NEXT
WEEK. ASIDE FROM LINGERING LOW LEVEL CLOUDS SUNDAY AND POTENTIAL
FOR MVFR CIGS ON SUNDAY...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
