AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
340 AM EST WED JAN 7 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WEDGED DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE BLUE RIDGE WILL
MOVE OUT OF THE AREA TODAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. A
SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL SWING THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
TYPICAL TENACIOUS WEDGE REMAINS IN PLACE ALONG/EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE THIS MORNING WITH STRONG WARM ADVECTION OVERHEAD IN ADVANCE
OF THE SURFACE LOW/COLD FRONT TO THE WEST. EVEN STILL HAVE SOME
SFC TEMPS NEAR FREEZING BUT EXPECT ENOUGH SLIGHT RISES TO PRECLUDE
MUCH ADDED ICE MENTION EARLY THIS MORNING. OTRW DEEP BAND OF
MOISTURE RUNNING UP ACROSS THE WEST THE MAIN PROBLEM OVER THE
MOUNTAINS THIS MORNING WITH ANOTHER INCH OR SO OF QPF POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER IF RATES REMAIN SIMILAR TO EARLIER RAINFALL THEN THINK
FLOODING MORE OF A RIVER ISSUE THAN FLASHY THIS MORNING. SINCE
HEAVIER RAINFALL HAS BEEN ACROSS THE SW AND WESTERN SLOPES HAVE
EXTENDED THE FLOOD WATCH NORTH TO INCLUDE ALL OF SE WVA WHERE 1-2
INCHES HAS ALREADY FALLEN. FRONT PUSHES SLOWLY EAST THIS MORNING
THEN BOOTS EAST THIS AFTERNOON AS UPPER TROF CATCHES UP. THIS
SHOULD FINALLY SCOUR THE REST OF THE WEDGE OUT BUT HOW FAST IFFY
AS THE NAM LEAVES THE COLD POOL IN UNTIL MID AFTERNOON WHILE ALL
OTHER GUIDANCE FASTER. FOR NOW WILL TREND SLOWER AND KEEP HIGH
POPS GOING ALL AREAS THRU ABOUT 18Z THEN START TO TRIM AS THE FLOW
TURNS MORE WESTERLY AND THE WEDGE EXITS. STRONG 85H JET ABOVE THE COOL
POOL LOOKS TO REMAIN ALOFT UNTIL LATER...THEN STARTS TO MIX DOWN AS
GOOD SUBSIDENCE ARRIVES FROM WEST TO EAST LATER ON. SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST ENOUGH SPEED TRANSFER TO GO WITH A WIND ADVISORY BLUE
RIDGE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT ESPCLY SINCE THE GROUND IS SO WET
AND TREES MAY EASILY COME DOWN. THIS MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED LATER
BUT THINK THE WEDGE WILL KEEP WINDS ACROSS THE EAST LIMITED TO A
QUICK SURGE WITH THE FRONT LATE SO WILL KEEP THEM BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA FOR NOW.

COLD AIR WITH THE 85H FRONT SURGES ACROSS THE WEST LATER TONIGHT
AND ALL OTHER AREAS OVERNIGHT. THIS SHOULD CHANGE ANY LEFTOVER
RAIN TO SNOW WESTERN SLOPES BY DARK...WITH UPSLOPE -SHSN
CONTINUING OVERNIGHT. MORE WESTERLY TRAJECTORY MAY ACTUALLY FOCUS
HIGHER SNOW AMOUNTS FARTHER SOUTH INTO SW VA WHERE A WEAK WAVE
WILL SLIDE THRU LATE TONIGHT. THUS KEEPING LIKELY/CAT POPS IN
FAVORED UPSLOPE ZONES AND CHANCE POPS OUT TO THE BLUE
RIDGE/FOOTHILLS PER ARRIVING COLD POOL OVERNIGHT. SNOW AMOUNTS
LIKELY ENOUGH FOR LOW END ADVISORY IN SPOTS BUT WILL LET THE
DAYSHIFT ISSUE IF NEEDED ONCE THE FLOOD THREAT ENDS.

TEMPS AGAIN AS TRICKY AS EVER TODAY WITH TIMING OF WEDGE EXODUS
AND POSSIBLE QUICK RISES IN POST FRONTAL DRYING BEFORE COLD
ADVECTION KICKS IN ACROSS THE WEST. FOR NOW WILL FOLLOW CONSENSUS
VALUES AND CURRENT EARLY TRENDS WHICH SHOULD PUSH MOST INTO THE
40S/LOW 50S EXCEPT THE FAR SE WHERE IF WARM AIR BREAKS THRU THEN
55-60 POSSIBLE. LOWS TONIGHT SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN MOS GIVEN MIXING
AND CLOUDS WEST. HOWEVER MAY SEE SPOTS LIKE LYH/DAN GO COLDER PER
CLEARING AND LIGHTER WINDS SO SOMETHING TO WATCH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPSLOPE RH FORECAST TO HANG AROUND LONGER THAN EARLIER THOUGHT ON
THU AS WILL NEED TO WAIT FOR A MID WAVE TO PASS THRU THE TROF AND
EXIT BY THU NIGHT. WITH THE FLOW TURNING A BIT MORE NW EXPECT
OFF/ON -SHSN TO PERSIST ESPCLY NW THU WITH CLOUDS AND PERHAPS
FLURRIES/SPRINKLES MAKING IT EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AS VORT TRACKS
THRU. WILL AT LEAST GET SOME FILLING IN OF CLOUDS EAST UNDER
INCREASING LAPSE RATES SO BOOSTED CLOUDS AND LOWERED HIGHS SOME
ACROSS THE REGION THU. SHOULD FINALLY CLEAR OUT ALL AREAS THU
NIGHT WITH UPSLOPE WEAKENING AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM
THE WEST...SO ONLY CHANCE POPS EARLY FAR WEST. DEWPOINTS IN THE
TEENS AND LIGHTER WINDS WILL ALLOW MOST TO FALL INTO THE 20S THU
NIGHT WITH SOME TEENS IN THE DEEPER VALLEYS.

FAST FLOW ALOFT SHOULD QUICKLY PUSH THE RIDGE ACROSS AND THEN SE
OF THE AREA FRIDAY WITH SOME RETURN FLOW WARM ADVECTION DEVELOPING
IN THE AFTERNOON. VERY DRY AIR UNDER SUNSHINE AND WEAK SW FLOW
WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO RETURN CLOSER TO MORE NORMAL LEVELS AS THE
UPPER COLD POOL GIVES WAY LATER IN THE DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST FRIDAY NIGHT.
MEANWHILE...ACROSS THE MID WEST AND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...A SURFACE
LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. AT
THE MOMENT...PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL
SATURDAY...THEREFORE I HAVE BACK OFF ON POPS. MODEL DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF MAKING THIS WEEKENDS FORECAST A CHALLENGE.
GFS IS VERY FAST AND A LOT COLDER THAN THE ECMWF ESPECIALLY WITH
RIDGING WELL TO OUR WEST. TOOK HPC ADVICE/GUIDANCE AND LEANED THE
EXTENDED TOWARDS THE ECMWF WITH THIS WEEKENDS FRONT COMING THROUGH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE ONCE AGAIN BUILDS OVER
THE AREA TO SALVAGE AT LEAST A DRY SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
DESPITE THE SUNSHINE...COLD TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S AND WINDY
CONDITIONS COULD MAKE SUNDAY A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE. FOR EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK...BOTH MODELS AGREE THAT THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
STREAMS ARE NOT IN PHASE. THEREFORE CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION LOW BUT
POSSIBLE.

THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT PHASING WITHIN THE GLOBAL WIND OSCILLATION
(GWO). HOWEVER...THE GLOBAL ATMOSPHERIC ANGULAR MOMENTUM ANOMALY
(GLAAM) IS SHOWING A TREND TOWARDS COOLER TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
CIGS/VSBYS WILL REMAIN RATHER LOW THROUGH THE MORNING...IN THE
WEST DUE TO RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES...AND FROM ROANOKE...EAST WITH
WEDGE AND NORTHEAST FLOW IN PLACE. THIS WEDGE WILL BEGIN BREAKING
DOWN BY MID TO LATE MORNING AS COLD FRONT SWINGS ACROSS. HAVE
WINDS SHIFTING TO THE WEST BY LATE MORNING IN THE WEST WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS RETURNING. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST BY LATE
MORNING TO MIDDAY FROM ROANOKE-EAST...THEN TO THE WEST DURING THE
AFTERNOON. STRONG COLD ADVECTION WILL BRING GUSTY WINDS TO ALL TAF
SITES DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EXPECT SNOW SHOWERS AND
LOWER CIGS TO RETURN TO BLF/LWB IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH THE LOWER CLOUDS MAINLY ALONG THE SLOPES
WEST OF LWB.

UPSLOPE CLOUDS AND POST FRONTAL SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD ASSURE THAT
MVFR TO IFR WEATHER CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN WEST VIRGINIA
TERMINAL FORECAST POINTS WELL INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FRIDAY BRINGING A RETURN TO VFR FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER COLD FRONT SAT WHICH COULD BRING BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS IN
-RA/-SN SHOWERS BY SAT AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WATCH FOR THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS THROUGH TODAY...AND THE NC/VA
FOOTHILLS EAST ALONG THE DAN RIVER BASIN THROUGH THURSDAY.
LOOKING AT ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES POSSIBLE...WITH THE MOUNTAINS
GETTING THE BEST SLUG OF MOISTURE THIS MORNING...AND OUT EAST
TODAY MAIN CONCERN WILL BE FOR SMALL STREAMS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND
ADJACENT FOOTHILLS FLOODING DURING THE RAIN EVENT...FOLLOWED BY
MAIN STEM FLOODING ALONG THE DAN RIVER AT THE END OF THE RAIN
EVENT.
