AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1259 PM EST WED FEB 18 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A WINTER STORM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY
TODAY...WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PASSING EAST ACROSS THE
MID ATLANTIC REGION...SPREADING RAIN AND A BRIEF PERIOD OF WINTRY
MIX TO THE REGION. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA
TONIGHT AS THE WINTER STORM MOVE INTO NEW ENGLAND. COLDER AND
WINDY CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT WITH MOUNTAIN SNOW
SHOWERS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION CONTAINING SMALL HAIL OCCURRING IN SPOTS
OVER THE WEST UPDATING TO PUSH TSRA FARTHER EAST THIS AFTERNOON
ALONG WITH HIGHER POPS. PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS BELOW.

INITIAL FAST MOVING SLUG OF MIXED PRECIP WITH FRONT ALOFT HAS
RACED INTO THE FAR NORTHERN/EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WITH MORE
SCATTERED NATURE -RA TO THE WEST. NOSE OF JET ALOFT AND THE
ASSOCIATED UPPER DIFFLUENCE LIKELY TO BE THE MAIN PLAYER FOR
ADDITIONAL PRECIP THRU THE AFTERNOON...WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE
COLD FRONT NEARING THE MISS RIVER. LATEST WRF SHOWS MUCH OF THE
ADDED SHRA ACROSS THE WEST WHERE CAN TOTALLY RULE OUT SOME
EMBEDDED THUNDER ALONG INSTABILITY AXIS ESPCLY FAR WESTERN SLOPES
ON THE PERIMETER OF THE INSITU WEDGE. OTRW PLAN TO LOWER POPS SOME
ESPCLY AFTER 18Z WHEN THE LATEST 12Z NAM HAS QUITE A DRY SLOT
WORKING IN WITH SOME BREAKS POSSIBLE WEST. NUDGED TEMPS DOWN SOME
NW WHERE HOVERING NEAR FREEZING AND OVER CENTRAL ZONES NEAR THE
BLUE RIDGE WHERE THE WEDGE IS STRONGER. SINCE ALSO STILL HAVE SOME
TEMPS NEAR FREEZING AND AT LEAST SCTD PRECIP IN THE ADVISORY
AREAS...PLAN TO LEAVE THE WSW PRODUCTS IN PLACE UNTIL NOON WHEN
WILL SEND AN UPDATED ZFP FOR THE AFTERNOON. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION
BELOW...

REGIONAL RADARS INDICATE A LARGE SWATH OF PRECIPITATION ADVANCING
EAST ACROSS TN/KY. THIS PRECIPITATION WILL ARRIVE THIS MORNING AND
WILL BE WIDESPREAD FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY. AT THE
ONSET...TEMPERATURES WILL SUPPORT A WINTRY MIX WITH SNOW AND
SLEET. THE PROFILE IS PROGGED TO WARM RAPIDLY ALOFT AND THINK JUST
ABOUT ALL LOCATIONS IN OUR CWA WILL TURN OVER TO PLAIN OL RAIN BY
MID MORNING. FOR THE MOST PART...THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE FALLING
INTO A BOUNDARY LAYER THAT IS ABOVE FREEZING...THUS DO NOT
ANTICIPATE ANY SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION. THE COLDEST
LOCATIONS...ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 64 MAY EXPERIENCE AN
INCH OR TWO OF SNOW AND SLEET...BEFORE CHANGING TO FREEZING RAIN
AND THEN RAIN. FOR THIS REASON HAVE ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY THIS MORNING FOR BATH...ROCKBRIDGE...AND AMHERST. HAVE
ALSO ISSUED A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS
OF NORTH CAROLINA...INCLUDING GRAYSON AND CARROLL COUNTIES IN
VIRGINIA WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE AROUND FREEZING.

ASIDE FROM THE INSITU COLD AIR THAT IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE
CWA...THERE IS NO BLOCKING HIGH TO THE NORTH. APPROACH OF COLD
FRONT AND WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPS TO STEADILY CLIMB THROUGH THE DAY...MOST AREAS CLIMBING INTO
THE 40S.

THE SURFACE FRONT IS PROGGED TO PASS THROUGH THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT WITH THE SURFACE LOW MOVING INTO EASTERN ONTARIO. STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL TAKE PLACE BEHIND THE FRONT AND THIS WILL
SET THE STAGE FOR A COLD NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH MOUNTAIN SNOW
SHOWERS AND FLURRIES ALONG WITH BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
BIGGEST CONCERN FOR THIS PART OF THE PACKAGE IS WINDS AND UPSLOPE
SNOW. DEBATING WHETHER OR NOT TO ISSUE AN ELEVATION WATCH FOR
GREENBRIER. HOWEVER...NAM12 H7 MOISTURE IS FARTHER NORTH AND
MOISTURE DEPTH IS MORE SHALLOW THAN THE PAST FEW NIGHTS. SEEMS AS
THOUGH THE DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL BE AROUND FROM MID MORNING THURS
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. ATTM...THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WOULD BE
A SNOW ADVISORY SAY FROM GREENBRIER TO TAZEWELL FROM THURS INTO
THURS NIGHT BUT THIS CAN BE FINE TUNED ON FUTURE SHIFTS. ABOVE
2500 FEET IN GREENBRIER MAY BE CLOSE OR JUST ABV WARNING CRITERIA
BY FRIDAY MORNING AND THIS CAN BE HANDLED IN AN ADVISORY TOO. ANOTHER
ISSUE IS THE WIND WHICH WILL BE BLOWING THE SNOW AROUND.
NONETHELESS...IT WILL BE SNOWING HARD AT TIMES WITH WINDS GREATLY
REDUCING VISIBILITIES IN THESE SPOTS THURS AND THURS NIGHT. A
COUPLE INCHES MAY ALSO FALL IN THE SKI COUNTRY OF NW NC WITH AN
INCH OR LESS AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. IF WINDS STAY UP...WIND CHILL
ADVISORY CRITERIA MAY BE MET INTO FRIDAY MORNING FOR THE EXTREME
SW...WHICH WILL RECEIVE THE COLDEST AIR FIRST. CONSIDERING H85
VALUES WILL BE NEAR -15C...SHALLOW ARCTIC AIRMASS...DID KEEP TEMPS
A FEW DEGREES BELOW COLDEST GUIDANCE FOR MIN/MAX ON FRIDAY. WILL ALSO
NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR NW NC AND POSSIBLY PART OF THE BLUE RIDGE
IN VA THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TIMING OF THE SATURDAY SYSTEM IS SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...ALTHOUGH MAY
BE SLOWER BY A FEW HOURS. STILL LOOKING AT BEST CHANCE OF PRECIP
ARRIVING IN THE WEST DURING THE DAY AND MOVING EAST BY EVENING WITH
UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS ON THE BACK SIDE LASTING INTO SUNDAY.

AFTER THIS THE PATTERN FLATTENS WITH A BACKDOOR FRONT STRETCHING
INTO THE MID ATLANTIC BY TUESDAY BUT NO AFFECTS IN TERM OF PRECIP
FOR OUR AREA. TEMPS WILL SLOWLY MODERATE AS SFC HIGH SETTLES ACROSS
THE AREA SUN-MON.

THE 12Z ECMWF MODEL HAS A DIFFERENT SOLUTION INTO MONDAY AS IT FORMS
A NEW LOW ALONG THE FRONT IN THE SOUTHEAST SUNDAY MORNING AND SHIFTS
IT OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA/VIRGINIA COAST BY 12Z MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM
WOULD BRING A GOOD SNOW TO PORTIONS OF THE AREA IF IT PANS OUT...BUT
ATTM...THE OTHER MODELS ARE NOT FAVORING IT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
WIDESPREAD MVFR/IFR WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF KBLF WHERE PERIODS OF VFR LIKELY. RAINFALL WILL
REMAIN SCATTERED INTO THIS EVENING WITH MORE IN THE WAY OF
CONVECTION ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES SO INCLUDED A CB MENTION AT
BOTH KBLF AND KLWB THIS AFTERNOON. COLD FRONT ARRIVES OVERNIGHT
BRINGING IMPROVING FLIGHT CONDITIONS EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS BY
MORNING WITH LOW CIGS PERSISTING IN SE WVA INTO THURSDAY. SNOW
SHOWERS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD LATE TONIGHT IN THE WEST WITH
PERIODIC REDUCTIONS IN VSBY ESPCLY AT KBLF THRU MUCH OF THURSDAY.
WESTERLY WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE THURSDAY AND CONTINUE INTO
THURSDAY NIGHT WITH GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 25-30 KTS POSSIBLE OVER THE
MOUNTAINS.

DRIER AIR WORKS IN UNDER HIGH PRESSURE FOR FRIDAY BRINGING VFR
CONDITIONS BEFORE ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT APPROACH SAT. THIS SYSTEM MAY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF MVFR
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE WEST SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY BEFORE VFR
RETURNS UNDER HIGH PRESSURE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
