AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
940 AM EST THU JAN 8 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY
BRINGING ADDITIONAL MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS AND GUSTY WINDS. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THIS FEATURE OVERNIGHT BEFORE SLIDING TO
THE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL
ARRIVE FROM THE WEST ON SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
ADJUSTED POPS AND TEMPERATURES ACCORDING TO LATEST TRENDS AND MODEL
SOLUTIONS. SNOW BAND CONTINUES SHIFTING SOUTH THIS MORNING...AS
SHORTWAVE PUSHES EAST. WILL KEEP WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES UP TO
NOON. PLAN TO MAKE REVISION TO ADVISORY LATER THIS MORNING.
ADJUSTED EASTWARD EXTEND OF PCPN AND ADJUSTED MAX TEMPERATURES UP
IN A FEW LOCATIONS FOR TODAY. PNS ALREADY OUT THIS MORNING WITH
SOME SNOW TOTALS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

WITH BANDS OF HEAVY SNOW CROSSING THE NEW RIVER VALLEY UPDATING TO
EXTEND THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA EARLY
THIS MORNING.

UPPER TROF AXIS WILL SLIDE EAST CROSSING THE REGION TODAY ALLOWING
COLD ADVECTION AND GUSTY WINDS TO PERSIST. MID LEVEL WAVE SEEN IN
VAPOR LOOP DIVING TOWARD THE APPALACHIANS ATTM SHOULD DROP THRU
THE AREA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. LATEST GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THIS FEATURE
SHOULD ACT TO ENHANCE SNOW SHOWER COVERAGE AS SEEN VIA APPROACHING
CLOUD SHIELD IN IR PICS. HOWEVER CURRENT RADAR TRENDS NOT ALL THAT
IMPRESSIVE WITH MORE PATCHY NATURE SNOWFALL NOW ENTERING THE FAR
WESTERN ZONES. EXPECT AS THIS IMPULSE SWINGS THRU THE TROF AND
SOME SLIGHT BACKING OCCURS MAY SEE COVERAGE INCREASE ESPCLY NORTH THIS
MORNING PER LOCAL WRF SO KEEPING HIGH POPS WEST. ALTHO AMOUNTS SO
FAR HAVE BEEN BASICALLY AN INCH OR LESS IN THE ADVISORY
AREA...WILL ALSO KEEP THE WSW GOING THIS MORNING FOR ANOTHER 1-2
INCHES ESPCLY GIVEN POSSIBLE RUSH HOUR ARRIVAL OF HEAVIER -SHSN.
OTRW INCREASING LAPSE RATES ALOFT AND UNIDIRECTIONAL W/NW FLOW OFF
FORECAST RAOBS SUPPORTS SOME SNOW/RAIN SHOWER BANDS HEADING EAST
ACROSS THE BLUE RIDGE SO ADDED IN LOW POPS SOUTH ALONG THE TRACK
OF THE VORT THRU MIDDAY. ALSO PLAN TO ISSUE AN SPS FOR SPOTS EAST
OF THE ADVISORY REGION FOR REFREEZING OF WATER FROM EARLIER
SNOWFALL MELT PLUS AN ADDED COATING OF SNOW ON TOP IN SPOTS THIS
MORNING.

FLOW TURNS MORE NW IN THE WAKE OF THE WAVE THIS AFTERNOON
ALLOWING AT LEAST SOME LIGHT UPSLOPE -SHSN TO PERSIST AS COLDEST
85H POCKET SETTLES INTO SE WVA. HOWEVER OVERALL RH WILL BE ON THE
DECREASE AFTER 18-20Z WHEN SHOULD SEE DOWNSLOPE START TO CLEAR THE
EAST WITH MORE BREAKS WEST. WINDS AGAIN GUSTY PER BETTER COLD
ADVECTION LATER ON WHEN SOME SUN SHOULD AID DEEPER MIXING BUT
OVERALL BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS. TEMPS SLOW TO CHILL AHEAD OF THE
S/W ATTM SO RAISED HIGHS A LITTLE...MAINLY EAST WHERE STARTING OUT
CLOSE TO 40 ATTM.

HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY NUDGES IN FROM THE WEST TONIGHT WITH UPSLOPE
-SHSN FINALLY ENDING BUT LIKELY NOT UNTIL VERY LATE SE WVA. GIVEN
PRESSURE GRADIENT STILL LINGERING WONT SEE OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL
COOLING DESPITE CLEARING...BUT COLD ENOUGH ALOFT FOR MAINLY 20S
ALL LOCATIONS AND A FEW MID TEENS DEEP VALLEYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
FRIDAY SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND FLAT UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL ALLOW
FOR A PRECIPITATION FREE FORECAST DAY. HOWEVER..THIS WILL BE SHORT
LIVED AS THE NEXT SOUTHERN TRACK LOW APPROACHES THE REGION. EXPECT
WARM FRONT OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION TO BEGIN MOVING INTO WESTERN
PARTS OF THE REGION DURING THE PRE DAWN HOURS OF SATURDAY...AND THEN
SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION IN THE FORENOON SATURDAY. WE WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL AGAIN FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION AT THE ONSET. GFS FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW A WARM NOSE AROUND 800 MB REACH +4 C AT SOME POINTS
AND AS LITTLE AS +1 OR +2 C A BIT FARTHER NORTH. WE COULD SEE SOME
SLEET MIXED WITH FREEZING RAIN AT THE ONSET OF THE PRECIPITATION IN
THE MOUNTAINS...THEN AS THE WARM NOSE INCREASES BY SUNRISE
SATURDAY...MOSTLY FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE AREA AS SURFACE
TEMPERATURES STILL WILL BE BELOW FREEZING FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. AS
SATURDAY PROGRESSES...SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE ABOVE
FREEZING FOR PLAIN RAIN TO BE FALLING. BY THE LATE AFTERNOON
SATURDAY...THE SYSTEMS COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION
GIVING US A TRANSITION TO RAIN SHOWERS.

SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE START OF A TREND TOWARDS MUCH COLDER AIR
MOVING INTO THE REGION. LOOK FOR A TRANSITION TO SNOW SHOWERS IN THE
MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND AN END TO THE PRECIPITATION EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE. THE SNOW SHOWERS IN THE MOUNTAIN SHOULD CONTINUE
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT BUT DECREASE IN COVERAGE. WIND SPEEDS WILL ALSO
BECOME GUSTY BEHIND THE FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT WITH HIGHER ELEVATIONS
GUSTING IN THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL STRETCH EAST ALONG THE GULF COAST THROUGH MONDAY
BLOCKING ANY SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE FROM ADVANCING TOWARDS THE REGION.
MEANWHILE...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY WORK ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES. BY LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON...THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL
ENTER THE MOUNTAINS AND PASS ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT. THIS COLD
FRONT SHOULD TRACK ACROSS THE REGION VIRTUALLY DRY WITH SOME
MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS ON THE BACK SIDE. WITH A WEST WIND AND LIMITED
MOISTURE...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE LIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY FORECAST WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK OF AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW. ECMWF HAS THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW TRACKING ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN CANADA WITH A SECOND SURGE OF COLD AIR ENTERING THE
AREA TUESDAY NIGHT. SOME MOISTURE MAY ACCOMPANY THIS COLD AIR AND
WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES -8C TO -12C...SNOW COULD FALL ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE EAST. 12Z GFS HAS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
TRACKING FARTHER SOUTH AND ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES ARE DRAMATICALLY COLDER AT -26C TO -28C 12Z
WEDNESDAY. IF THE GFS VERIFIES...MOUNTAIN TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY
MORNING WILL BE BELOW ZERO WITH SINGLE DIGITS IN THE EAST.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL NOT MAKE IT ABOVE 10F AND
THE EAST MAY STRUGGLE TO SEE 20F. LOOKING AT EXTREMES FOR JANUARY
14TH...TEMPERATURES THIS COLD ARE POSSIBLE BUT RARE FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR. HOWEVER...THIS ANOMALY IS BEING SEEN AT THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. I DO NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO RUN WITH THESE
EXTREME TEMPERATURES AT THIS TIME. WITH KEEP CLOSE TO HPC AND
TREND IN THE COLDER DIRECTION.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
BANDS OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS ESPCLY
OVER THE SE WVA SITES THROUGH THE MORNING. THIS WILL RESULT IN
MVFR/IFR AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS FOR A FEW HOURS WITH LIFR
POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIER BANDS THRU MID MORNING AS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. EXPECT CIGS/VSBYS TO IMPROVE CLOSER TO
15Z TO 17Z AS DRIER AIR STARTS TO SLIDE IN FROM THE NW. VERY
LIMITED PRECIPITATION AND SUB-VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY THROUGH THE DAY WITH EVEN
STRONGER GUSTS EXPECTED IN THE VICINITY OF SNOW SHOWERS THIS
MORNING. SPEEDS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE AFTER ABOUT 18Z
     AND THIS TREND...ALONG WITH DECREASING CLOUDS IN THE
MOUNTAINS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH SAT WHICH COULD BRING BRIEF MVFR
CONDITIONS IN LIGHT MIXED WINTER PRECIPITATION ON SAT. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN ON SUNDAY RESULTING IN VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE
END OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
