AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
230 PM EDT WED JUN 3 2009
.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHWARD INTO THE REGION AND STALL
LATE TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG THE FRONT THURSDAY AND
THURSDAY NIGHT...SLOWLY PULLING THE FRONT SOUTH OF THE REGION BY
FRIDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA THIS WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SVR TSTM WATCH 325 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 800 PM FOR SOUTHEAST
WEST VIRGINIA AND MUCH OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SW VA WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND
ALSO NORTH OF ROUTE 460 INCLUDING LYH AND BEDFORD. UPDATED ZONES
OUT SOON.
AT 200 PM...SFC FRONT WAS STILL NEAR THE MASON-DIXON LINE AND
ACROSS NRN WV...SRN OHIO. STRONG STORMS HAVE INITIATED ALONG THE
BLUE RIDGE IN NW NC AND FAR SW VA...AND ARE MOVING OFF INTO THE
FOOTHILLS/PIEDMONT. MORE ORGANIZED STORMS WILL BE MOVING INTO THE
MTNS FROM THE WEST...AS SOME MULTICELL CLUSTERS ARE ALREADY GOING.
SFC INSTABILITY ACROSS THE CWA IS MODE ATE TO HIGH. SHEAR IS STILL
FAIRLY MARGINAL...BUT WILL GET BETTER TOWARD EVENING. WE EXPECT
MULTICELL CLUSTERS OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TO CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING. WITH THE FRONT SLOWLY MOVING INTO THE CWA OVERNIGHT...WE
DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS WELL. REPEAT
CELLS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL BE LIKELY AS THEY MOVE ALONG PARALLEL
TO THE FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT. FFG IS LOW ENOUGH THAT FLASH
FLOODING MAY BECOME MORE THAN JUST SMALL LOCALIZED AREAS.
WILL BE A MILD AND HUMID NIGHT WITH DEWPOINTS WELL UP INTO THE 60S.
HAVE KEPT LOWS MAINLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
WITH THE SFC FNT PROGGED TO BE ACROSS THE CWA BY THU MORNING...AND
MORE WAVES OF SHOWERS/POSS TSTMS MOVING ALONG THE FRONT...WE KEEP
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH GOING THROUGH 400 PM. MODELS ARE ACTUALLY
INDICATING THAT THE FRONT WILL STILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE CWA NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER THU NIGHT...WITH ONE
LAST STRONG WAVE MOVING ALONG THE FRONT...THE WATCH MAY NEED TO BE
EXTENDED PAST 400 PM THU AT SOME POINT. WILL HAVE LIKELY TO
CATEGORICAL POPS THU AND THU NIGHT ACROSS THE CWA. HOWEVER...THE
FRONT MAY BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH THAT THE HEAVIER RAINS WILL BE SOUTH
OF THE WATCH. HIGH TEMPS THU WILL BE MUCH COOLER WITH NO SUN AND
PERIODS OF PRECIP. HAVE KEPT HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S...EXCEPT FOR SOUTHSIDE VA AND THE NW PIEDMONT OF NC...WHICH
WILL BE NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF THE FRONT AND MAY SEE A LITTLE SUN.
FRIDAY...THE SFC FRONT SHOULD BE SOUTH OF THE CWA...BUT SFC LOW
PRESSURES MOVING ALONG THE FRONT WILL LIKELY KEEP SOME RAIN ACROSS
AT LEAST THE SOUTHEAST CWA. HAVE KEPT LIKELY POPS EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. WITH ALL OF THE CWA NORTH OF THE FRONT...LOTS OF
CLOUDS...NORTHEAST SFC WINDS...AND LIKELY PRECIP...HAVE KEPT HIGH
TEMPS QUITE COOL FRIDAY. HIGH S GENERALLY IN THE MID 60S TO AROUND
70. BY FRIDAY NIGHT...A STRONGER SFC LOW WILL BE EXITING THE
COAST...PULLING THE FRONT AND THE PRECIP SHIELD SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE CWA.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY
AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. MOISTURE SHOULD BE
LIMITED...KEPT A SLIGHT CHC OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS MAINLY IN FOR THE
MTNS. WITH MORE SUNSHINE SATURDAY...RAISED HIGHS TEMPERATURES
INTO THE MID 70S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE MID 80S IN THE PIEDMONT.
ON SUNDAY...THE RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN U.S. BUILDS AS A STRONG
SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW PRESSURE TRACKS NEWD ACROSS THE
MIDWEST. THIS PLACES OUR REGION INTO A WARM ADVECTION PATTERN. THERE
MAY BE SOME ISOLATED TO SCT CONVECTION WITH BEST CHANCE ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE NEAR
NORMAL...WITH READINGS FROM THE UPPER 70S IN THE WEST TO THE MID 80S
IN THE SOUTHEAST. FOLLOWED HPCGUIDE WITH POPS FOR SUNDAY.
FOR MONDAY...THE SFC FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MIDWEST SYSTEM
TRACKING NEWD WILL APPROACH FROM THE NORTHWEST. BECAUSE OUR
FORECAST AREA WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR...THERE WILL BE A GOOD
CHC OF AFT/EVE TSTMS.
A COLD FRONT SWEEPS EAST ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. PLAYED HIGHS TUESDAY A LITTLE COOLER FROM THE MID 70S IN
SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA TO THE MID 80S IN THE PIEDMONT. THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES ON
WEDNESDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A COLD FRONT MOVING SLOWLY SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS WILL GRADUALLY APPROACH THE REGION THIS EVENING AND
LIKELY STALL ACROSS VA TONIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS
EVENING. AS THE FRONT SINKS INTO THE REGION TONIGHT...RAIN WILL
BECOME MORE STEADY...THOUGH THERE WILL STILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVIER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO
IFR FOR ALL LOCATIONS THAT THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT-
THAT INCLUDES LWB...ROA AND LYH. BLF AND DAN NEAR THE FRONT WILL
LIKELY DROP TO LOW MVFR. THE IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
INTO THE DAY THURSDAY.

REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY UNTIL FRIDAY...WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS
SOUTH OF THE REGION. IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY THURSDAY
