Area forecast discussion, Dec 7, 11:31 PM EST, 5 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 1131 PM EST MON DEC 7 2009 .SYNOPSIS... HIGH PRESSURE WILL HEAD EAST OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY. A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...BRINGING A COMPLEX SERIES OF FRONTS THROUGH OUR REGION. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... CLOUDS REMAIN STUCK ACROSS THE UPSLOPE ZONES TONIGHT IN STRONG/UNIFORM WESTERLY FLOW PER 00Z RAOBS. SOME OF THIS MOISTURE ALSO BLEEDING OVER INTO THE NEW RIVER/ROANOKE VALLEYS AIDED BY A 30+ KNOT LOW LEVEL JET. FORECAST RAOBS SUGGEST THAT CLOUDS WILL HOLD OVER THE WEST FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE HOURS BEFORE THE LOW LEVEL FLOW STARTS TO BACK MORE SW BY MORNING. SINCE STILL SEEING A FEW LIGHT RADAR RETURNS TO THE NW WILL LEAVE IN THE ONGOING -DZ/-FZDZ MENTION A WHILE LONGER ALTHO MOST SPOTS STILL ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THE NW. ELSW EXPECT MAINLY CLEAR SKIES TO PREVAIL WITH ONLY SOME AC/CI ARRIVING LATE. RAISED LOW TEMPS A FEW DEGREES IN THE WEST PER CLOUD COVER WHILE LOWERING A LITTLE OVER THE EAST WHERE BETTER RAD COOLING SHOULD PREVAIL OVERNIGHT. FOR TUESDAY...TOYED WITH PUTTING UP A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES BASED ON THE 50-55 KT 85H JET OFF GUIDANCE AND BUFKIT RAOBS SHOWING THE STRONG WINDS NEAR THE SURFACE AT BLF TUESDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER LATEST RUNS INCLUDING THE NEW 00Z NAM A BIT WEAKER...AND TURNING MORE SOUTHERLY SOONER...WITH THE STRONGER SPEEDS MORE IN THE OVERNIGHT 3RD PERIOD SO WONT ISSUE A WATCH FOR NOW. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW... ALL EYES TURN ON THE STORM SYSTEM PUSHING OUT OF THE ROCKIES INTO THE PLAINS ON TUESDAY. GFS/ECMWF ARE QUICKER IN BRINGING PRECIP BACK INTO THE CWA BY TUESDAY MORNING...AND HAVE LEANED IN THIS DIRECTION AS SOUTHEAST FLOW ABOVE THE SFC INCREASES...LEADING TO SOME LIFT ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE. WITH TEMPS AT OR BELOW FREEZING IN THE MORNING COULD SEE PATCHY FREEZING RAIN IN THE NC MTNS/FAR SW VA B4 WARMER AIR ARRIVES BY 15Z. NOT EXPECTING MUCH ICE ACCUMULATION. AS THE MOISTURE STREAMS NE THE SFC WEDGE WILL TIGHTEN AND DEEPEN ALTHOUGH MODEL SOUNDING SUGGEST A SHALLOW LAYER OF COLD AIR. WITH LEFTOVER SNOW COVER AND MOIST GROUND...THIS LAYER MAY START OFF A LITTLE COLDER THAN THE MODELS SUGGEST. BY AFTERNOON WILL BE SEEING SUB FREEZING TEMPS CONFINED TO THE MTN VALLEYS ALONG AND NORTH OF I-64 FROM SUMMERS COUNTY WV TO AMHERST COUNTY WITH PATCHY AREAS SOUTH ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AND HIGHLANDS. STILL NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING MORE THAN A LIGHT COATING. TEMPS WILL BE TRICKY ESPECIALLY IN THE FAR ERN CWA AS PRECIP WILL NOT REACH THERE UNTIL AFTERNOON. STILL NOT CONFIDENT ON THE WARMER MOS SO AM KEEPING THING AT OR BELOW THE COOLEST MOS GIVEN EVAP COOLING INTO WEDGE...CLOUD COVER AND EVENTUALLY RAINFALL. NOSE OF WARM AIR WILL CHANGE ANY FREEZING PRECIP OVER THE SW VA MTNS BY MIDDAY. THE OTHER CONCERN IN THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT PERIOD IN THE FAR SW WILL BE THE LOW LVL JET WITH MODELS SUGGESTING 50-65 KNOTS AT TIMES. CROSS SECTIONS SHOW POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS ABOVE 60 KNOTS ON THE RIDGES TUESDAY EVENING...BUT WITH LIMITED COVERAGE WILL KEEP ANY HIGH WIND WATCH OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR NOW AND MENTION IN THE HWO. STILL LOOKS LIKE WIND ADVISORY A SURE BET TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY FOR THE MTNS OF SW VA/FAR SRN WV/NW NC. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PUSH NORTHEASTWARD TO THE GREAT LAKES TUESDAY NIGHT. NAM IS STILL SLOWER WITH THIS SYSTEM AND HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE GFS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. MAINLY A FREEZING RAIN EVENT WITH SOME SLEET MIXED IN AS BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SUPPORT NEAR TO BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE WITH STRONG WARM ADVECTION AROUND 850MB. THIS EVENT WILL BE IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS...ROANOKE AND SHENANDOAH AREAS ALONG WITH PORTIONS OF GREENBRIER IN SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA. BELIEVE THE SLEET WILL BE BRIEF AS THE LAYER OF COLD AIR UNDER THE WARM NOSE WILL NOT BE THICK ENOUGH. WITH A WEDGE IN PLACE SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW FREEZING IN THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS AND THE GREENBRIER VALLEY. WITH SNOW ALREADY ON THE GROUND...GROUND TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COLD WHICH WILL ALSO ALLOW A HIGHER PROBABILITY FOR FREEZING RAIN. ICE ACCUMULATION WILL BE UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH...SO ONLY HAVE MENTION IN THE HWO AT THIS TIME. THE MOISTURE WILL WRAP AROUND AS THE LOW PRESSURE PULLS OUT OF THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING. WITH A WESTERLY FLOW ANTICIPATE LINGERING PRECIP IN THE WESTERN UPSLOPE AREAS OF SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY. THIS WILL TAPER OFF THURSDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. A PUSH OF COLD AIR FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL FILTER INTO THE FORECAST AREA WHICH WILL ALLOW LOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL INTO THE UPPER TEENS IN THE MOUNTAINS TO MID 20S IN THE PIEDMONT AREA OF VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... THERE IS REASONABLE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GEFS/GFS/ECMWF REGARDING PRECIPITATION THIS WEEKEND. HOWEVER...THERE IS MUCH DISAGREEMENT WITH HOW COLD THE ATMOSPHERE MAY BE LEADING UP TO THIS EVENT. VERY DRY AIR...IN THE FORM OF 8F-15F DEWPOINTS WITH CONTINENTAL HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD WILL PRECEDE THE EVENT FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THE 12Z OP GFS IS MUCH COLDER THAN THE 12Z ECMWF AND THE 12Z GEFS FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT SAT AND SAT NIGHT...SO PRECIP TYPE IS DIFFICULT THIS FAR OUT. RIGHT NOW THE OP GFS LOOKS TOO COLD...HOWEVER...DESPITE THE QUICK WAA AT H85...BOUNDARY LAYER IS GOING TO BE SUBFREEZING CONSIDERING MANY SPOTS WILL DECOUPLE FRIDAY NIGHT...AND THEN CLOUDS WILL MOVE IN QUICKLY SATURDAY. THIS SHOULD PREVENT MUCH INSOLATION...AND MAY EVENTUALY GIVE A SLEET/SNOW MIX IN THE BLUE RIDGE...WITH POSSIBLY MORE SNOW INTO SE WEST VA. CONSIDERING UNCERTAINTY WILL KEEP WX TYPE JUST RAIN OR SNOW FOR NOW. ALONG THE PIEDMONT AND SOUTHSIDE...ONSET OF PRECIP MAY FIRST BE SNOW BUT THEN QUICKLY CHANGE OVER TO RAIN AS WARM AIR OVERCOMES ANY WEDGE THAT MAY BE IN PLACE ALONG THE SE CWA. AS WINDS BECOME MORE S AND SW SATURDAY NIGHT...PRECIP MAY CHANGE TO ALL RAIN SAVE SE WEST VA. CONJECTURE AT THIS POINT BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SYSTEM TO WATCH FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION. THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE COAST EXITS INTO SUNDAY...WITH UPSLOPE PRECIP ACROSS SE WEST VA...ALTHOUGH A MOSTLY WEST WIND ISNT VERY FAVORABLE. ALBEIT DRY INTO THE END OF THE LONG TERM...H85 TEMPS REMAIN AROUND 0C SO NO BIG WARMUPS ARE EXPECTED. && .AVIATION /04Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... MVFR CEILINGS REMAIN BANKED UP AGAINST THE WESTERN SLOPES TONIGHT IN DEEP WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. HOWEVER AS THE LOW LEVEL TRAJECTORY BACKS MORE SW LATE SHOULD SEE SOME DECREASE IN LOW CLOUDS DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS ESPCLY AT BLF. LWB MAY CLEAR FOR A BRIEF PERIOD BUT SINCE IFFY WILL KEEP IN A MVFR CIG UNTIL ABOUT 09Z BEFORE SCATTERING OUT WITH SOME FOG AROUND BY MORNING. WITH WET GROUND...SOME FOG ALSO POSSIBLE UNDER CLEAR SKIES OVER THE EAST SO INCLUDING A SLIGHT VSBY REDUCTION AT DAN. HIGH AND MID CLOUDS WILL INCREASE TUESDAY MORNING...WITH LOWER CLOUDS ARRIVING AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM BY EVENING AT MOST SITES AND CONTINUING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. WITH 18Z/00Z GUIDANCE NOW A BIT SLOWER WITH THE ONSET OF THE PRECIP LATER TUE...KEPT IT A BIT SLOWER AT BLF/LWB WITH PTYPE MOSTLY RAIN DURING THE DAYLIGHT PERIOD. THINK A MIX TO -FZRA WILL OCCUR AT LWB AFTER 00Z. ELSW EXPECTING MVFR CIGS AND PRECIP TO ARRIVE LATE IN THE AFTERNOON WITH AGAIN MOSTLY JUST RAIN AT THIS POINT. IFR CONDITIONS LIKELY IN LOW CIGS AND PRECIP/FOG TUESDAY EVENING. ANOTHER IMPACT WILL BE STRONG SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WED MORNING...WITH GREATEST IMPACT ACROSS THE BLF AREA WHERE STRONGER WINDS LIKELY OUTSIDE OF THE COLD AIR WEDGE. FOR NOW INCLUDING GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KTS AT BLF TUESDAY EVENING AS RAINFALL MAY TEND TO DAMPEN MIXING SOMEWHAT. ALSO LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR A GOOD POSSIBILITY ELSW AS THE STRONG JET WILL REMAIN JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE COOL POOL DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED RAIN WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AND WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION. WINDY AND GUSTY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ON FRIDAY BRINGING A RETURN TO VFR ACROSS THE REGION ALONG WITH LIGHTER WINDS. ANOTHER WEAK STORM SYSTEM LOOKS TO BRING A POSSIBLE MIXED BAG OF PRECIP BACK TO THE AREA WITH MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...NONE. NC...NONE.
