AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
758 PM EDT THU APR 2 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
RAPID PROGRESSION OF SPRING STORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES. THIS WILL RESULT IN A SERIES OF STRONG FRONTAL
PASSAGES FOR THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. NEXT FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
FRIDAY...WITH ANOTHER ONE ARRIVING SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THROUGH THE DAY SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE FLOW HAS BEEN INCREASING ACROSS
THE REGION AS THEY REGION COMES UNDER GREATER INFLUENCE OF THE WARM
SECTOR OF OUR NEXT APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS TREND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT WITH VERY GOOD COVERAGE OF RAIN JUST ABOUT
EVERYWHERE BY 06Z. THE COVERAGE WILL BE THE GREATEST IMMEDIATELY
ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. FOR QPF NUMBERS TONIGHT...HAVE
MADE USE OF THE HPC NUMBERS AND ADDED 50 PERCENT OF THOSE NUMBERS
ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. THE 850MB SE JET IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE TO AROUND 45 TO 50 KTS OVERNIGHT. WIND GUSTS REACHING WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT WHERE DOWNSLOPE WAVE ACTION
SHOULD GIVE BOTH TAZEWELL AND SMYTH COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA A LOOK AT
GUSTS OVER 40 MPH. WILL CONTINUE WITH CURRENT ADVISORY. HAVE FAVORED
TEMPERATURES AROUND THE AVERAGE OF THE MAV AND MET. HAVE TRENDED A
LITTLE MILDER THAN THIS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE REGION
WHERE THE WARM AIR ADVECTION IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT WILL BE
MAXIMIZED THE LONGEST.

EARLY FRIDAY MORNING THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT NORTHEAST
THROUGH KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA. THE SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT WILL TRAVERSE THE AREA BY MID-MORNING. WITH FORECAST LIS
AROUND 0 TO -2 AND CAPES AROUND 200-300 J/KG...WILL CONTINUE WITH
MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT. DRYING
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL HAPPEN FAIRLY QUICKLY...AND WESTERLY WINDS
WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. WE WILL BE ON THE THRESHOLD OF
ADDITIONAL WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA GUSTS STARTING AROUND NOON ON
FRIDAY IN AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. AT THIS
TIME...WILL TAKE ONE ADVISORY AT A TIME...AND ONLY CONTINUE WITH
MENTION OF THIS POTENTIAL IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND SAVE
ANY POTENTIAL ADVISORIES FOR FUTURE SHIFTS. THE DEVELOPING UPSLOPE
FLOW IN THE WEST WILL CONTINUE THE POTENTIAL OF ADDITIONAL SCATTERED
SHOWERS DURING THE DAY FRIDAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT...STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES BEHIND THE FRONT
AS HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD INTO THE WEST. UPSLOPE SHOWERS IN
THE WEST WILL CONTINUE...BUT BE ON THE DECREASE THROUGH THE NIGHT.
WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG...AND THE CONCERN FOR WIND ADVISORY LEVEL
GUSTS WILL CONTINUE. ENOUGH COLDER AIR MAY MAKE IT INTO THE SE WV
MOUNTAINS FOR THE SHOWERS TO END AS SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS. FOR
LOWS HAVE USED AN AVERAGE OF THE MAV AND MET.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND RISES REMAIN OVER THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY MORNING TO KEEP WINDY CONDITIONS ON GOING. BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...GRADIENT WEAKENS OVER THE REGION AND THE WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO SUBSIDE. WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND WEAKENING
WINDS...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE 60S WITH SOUTHSIDE
APPROACHING 70F. OVERNIGHT SATURDAY...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL
TRACK ACROSS THE AREA WITH VALLEY TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE
30S. WARM AIR ADVECTING INTO THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT SHOULD ALLOW
RIDGE TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN STEADY OR EVEN RISE DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS SUNDAY.

SUNDAY WILL BE NOTABLY WARMER AS WARM AIR ADVECTION INCREASES
AHEAD OF NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM. SHOULD SEE A GRADUAL INCREASE IN
CLOUD COVER WITH CHC POPS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON FOR THE FAR
WESTERN CWA. ATTM...THINK DAY AS A WHOLE SHOULD REMAIN DRY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PROGRESSIVE FLOW PATTERN IS FORECAST TO BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MORE SPACING IN BETWEEN FRONTAL SYSTEMS. ATTM
EXPECT A FRONTAL PASSAGE MONDAY AND ANOTHER LATE IN THE
WEEK...FRIDAY/SATURDAY TIME FRAME. HIGH AMPLITUDE FLOW ALSO MEANS
MUCH COLDER AIR WILL POUR SOUTH FROM CANADA...AND OUR PART OF THE
CONUS WILL LIKELY FALL UNDER THIS COLDER REGIME FOR EARLY AND MID
WEEK.

MONDAYS FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE THE RESULT OF A STRONG SPRING STORM
THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST ON SUNDAY...THEN THROUGH
THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO NEW ENGLAND ON MONDAY.
A STRONG SURFACE FRONT WILL TRAIL SOUTH FROM THE PARENT AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE CROSSING OUR FORECAST AREA MONDAY.  CONVEYOR BELT OF DEEP
MOISTURE WILL PRECEDE THE FRONT WITH THREAT OF SHOWERS SUNDAY NIGHT
AND UNTIL THE FRONTAL PASSAGE MONDAY.  IN THE WAKE OF THIS
STORM...STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION IS FORECAST WITH 85H TEMPS OF M4
TO M8.  COLD TEMPS COMBINED WITH WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES FOR THE MOUNTAINS TUESDAY
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A FROST AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR MID
WEEK AS COLD HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS FROM THE SURFACE TO AROUND 700 MB ARE
RESULTING IN IFR TO LIFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES ALONG AND EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE THIS EVENING. WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE CEILINGS
WERE IFR TO MVFR. LOCAL RADARS INDICATED WIDESPREAD LIGHT RAIN
ACROSS THE REGION. HAVE ADDED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IN FOR KROA...
KLYH...KDAN AND KLWB WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASING TO AROUND 35
KNOTS BY 06Z.

A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY MORNING BETWEEN
11-14UTC. THERE WILL BE AN ABRUPT WIND SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST BEHIND
THE FRONT...WITH GUSTY WINDS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. AS A DRY
SLOT HEADS INTO THE AREA...MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE ENDING
BY 16Z...EXCEPT IN THE FAR WESTERN MOUNTAINS WHERE RESIDUAL
MOISTURE AND UPSLOPE FLOW GENERATE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. IN THE
EAST CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR OR VFR BY 00Z SATURDAY.

ALSO ALONG THE COLD FRONT...INSTABILITY LOOKS GREAT ENOUGH FOR SOME
THUNDERSTORMS EMBEDDED WITH LINES OF SHOWERS. STILL INCLUDED A CB
SUFFIX TO THE CLOUD GROUP TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.

STRONG GUSTY WINDS BEHIND THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY
INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE THE POTENTIAL FOR IFR/MVFR
CONDITIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH
THIS ADDITIONAL MUCH COLDER AIR...SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
