AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1200 PM EST TUE JAN 20 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFF THE CAROLINA COAST...WILL DEEPEN AND
MOVE NORTHEAST OFFSHORE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS LOW WILL SPREAD SNOW
WESTWARD...WITH THE BACK EDGE NEAR THE NW NC PIEDMONT AND
SOUTHSIDE VA INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SENDING UPDATE TO REMOVE WINTER WX ADVISORY GIVEN DIMINISHING
RADAR TRENDS AND LACK OF MUCH ACCUMULATING SNOW ATTM. ALSO CHANGES
TO REFLECT A LITTLE MORE SUN OUT EAST WHERE DRY AIR IS ALLOWING
FOR MORE CLEARING AS PRECIP FADES. OTRW FEW OTHER CHANGES TO TEMPS
OR POPS.

AXIS OF DEFORMATION SNOW REALLY STARTING TO SHRINK AS VERY DRY AIR
CONTINUES TO SURGE SE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SURFACE LOW OFFSHORE.
HAVE SEEN 1-3 INCHES IN THE FAR SE PORTION OF THE ADVISORY AND
WILL LET THE WSW RIDE JUST A BIT LONGER UNTIL MOST PRECIP HAS
FADED. THINK MAJORITY GONE BY AROUND NOON IF NOT SOONER BUT GIVEN
SNOW COVERED ROADS AND LITTLE MELTING DUE TO COLD TEMPS THINK BEST
TO LEAVE THE ADVISORY UP A BIT LONGER. OTRW EXPECT UPSLOPE TO
GRADUALLY KICK IN NW ZONES AS FLOW TURNS MORE NW ESPCLY LATER ON
WHILE CENTRAL ZONES LIKELY SEE SOME SUN IN WEAK SUBSIDENCE AREA IN
BETWEEN SO REDUCED POPS THERE. THINK NW WINDS WILL REALLY PICK UP
ON THE BACK OF THIS SYSTEM ACROSS THE RIDGES THIS AFTERNOON IN
RESPONSE TO PRES RISES AND DECENT 85H JET. COULD SEE SOME GUSTS TO
25-30 MPH ESPCLY ON THE RIDGES ACROSS THE SW. LATEST MOS SUGGESTS
TEMPS ACROSS THE NW WONT GET MUCH ABOVE 20 AT BEST WITH LOW/MID
20S ELSW MOUNTAINS AND 25-31 PIEDMONT. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

I HAVE ISSUED A QUICK UPDATE TO RAISE POPS IN THE EXTREME
SOUTHEAST CWA WHERE WE HAVE THE ADVISORIES GOING. FCST AMOUNTS
STILL LOKK GOOD AS DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO SURGE SOUTHWARD AND
ERODE THE BACK EDGE OF THE HEAVIER SNOW ADVANCING NORTHWARD. OTHER
CHANGE TO THE FCST WAS TO LOWER MAX TEMPS AS VERY COLD AIR IS
SURGING SOUTHWARD. DOES NOT LOOK LIKE EVEN THE PIEDMONT WILL RISE
BACK ABOVE FREEZING TODAY.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES POSTED TODAY FOR SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF
CWA. WSR-88D INDICATED PATCHES OF SNOW LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS
FORECAST AREA. THE 00Z SOUNDING BY UNCA STUDENTS AT ETSU IN
JOHNSON CITY SHOWED MOISTURE FROM SFC UP TO AROUND 620 MBS WITH A
N WIND UP TO 700 MB. THE RNK SOUNDING AT 00Z HAD MOISTURE ONLY UP
770 MB WITH NW FLOW UP TO 850 MB. THE SLIGHT MORE NORTHERLY
COMPONENT OF WIND HINTS AT WHY THE UPSLOPE HAS NOT KICKED IN YET.
SHORTWAVE WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. THE
NAM...GFS...ECMWF HAVE ALL TRENDED SLIGHTLY FLATTER AND MORE
PROGRESSIVE THAN THEIR PREVIOUS RUNS WITH THIS FEATURE. LOOKING AT
2-D FRONTOGENESIS FROM BOTH THE NAM AND GFS...THERE IS A SMALL
AREA OF LIFT AROUND LYH AT 12Z WITH BEST FRONTOGENESIS SOUTH OF
OUR AREA NEAR RDU AND IT WEAKENS BY 18Z. WITH SOME OF THE BETTER
LIFT AND ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE PUSHING INTO SOUTHSIDE VA...WILL
KEEP SNOW TOTALS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH BANDS OF HEAVIER SNOWS THIS
MORNING. A DEFORMATION ZONE WILL SET UP ALONG THE BACKSIDE OF THE
FRONTAL SYSTEM WITH THE HEAVIER SNOWS. THE PLACEMENT OF THE
DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW IS THE QUESTION OF FORECAST. TREND APPEARS
FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST. PLAYED QPF SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN HPC. STILL
LOOKING AT ADVISORY LEVEL SNOW...EXPECT 1-2 INCHES...MAYBE 3
INCHES IN SRN CASWELL COUNTY WITH THIS EVENT.

NORTHWEST TRAJECTORIES KICK THIS AFTERNOON WITH UPSLOPE MOUNTAIN
SNOW. DECIDED TO TRIM POPS IN THE EAST AFTER 22Z...AND INCREASE
POPS IN THE WESTERN SLOPES. ANOTHER LITTLE IMPULSE MOVES INTO THE
REGION LATER TODAY WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE FOR BETTER COVERAGE. USED A
MET GUID AND CONTINUITY BLEND FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
500MB TROUGH PIVOTS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT WITH DEEP
UNIFORM NW FLOW. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS QUITE SHALLOW...BUT
TRAJECTORIES ARE OFF THE GREAT LAKES FOR A PERIOD FROM LATE
AFTERNOON THROUGH ABOUT 06Z. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE LIKELY POPS ON
THE NW SLOPES DESPITE VERY LOW GUIDANCE. DOES NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH
QPF- LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH...BUT WITH LIQUID TO SNOW RATIOS
OF 20 OR 25 TO 1...I EXPECT 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW IN THE FAVORED
UPSLOPE AREAS. LOWS IN THE 10 TO 15 DEGREE RANGE IN THE MTNS...WITH
SOME SINGLES DIGITS IN HIGH ELEVATIONS...LOOKS GOOD CONSIDERING THE
-18C 850MB TEMPS. WITH WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH EXPECTED...WIND CHILLS
IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS WILL BE IN THE ZERO TO 5 BELOW RANGE LATE
TONIGHT. I DON/T EXPECT COVERAGE OF 5 BELOW TO BE ENOUGH TO WARRANT
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY.

ON WED...THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS TO THE WEST AND BECOMES
ANTI-CYCLONIC IN THE MORNING...SO I THINK THAT UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS
WILL TAPER OFF QUICKLY. I DO NOT HAVE ANY POPS FOR MEAS SNOW AFTER
600 AM. DESPITE WARM ADVECTION AND PLENTY OF SUN WED...WE WILL GET
OFF TO SUCH A COLD START THAT THE MTNS WILL NOT RISE ABOVE
FREEZING...AND FOOTHILLS PIEDMONT WILL STAY IN THE 30S FOR HIGHS.
WEST WIND CONTINUES OVERNIGHT WED NIGHT AS THE SFC HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES TO OVER THE GULF COAST AND FLA. VALLEYS WILL LIKELY DECOUPLE
WHILE RIDGES STAY MIXED. WITH CLEAR SKIES...VALLEYS SHOULD BE COLDER
THAN THE RIDGES. LOWS GENERALLY IN THE 20S...WITH SOME TEENS IN THE
MTN VALLEYS. BY THU...WE GET INTO THE TRUE RETURN FLOW AND WARM
ADVECTION AS THE SFC HIGH MOVES OFF THE SE U.S. COAST. SHOULD BE A
GOOD WARM UP...WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
FOR THE LONG RANGE...LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE AND WESTERLY 850MB
WINDS SHOULD BRING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY...BEFORE
SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES...PUSHES A COLD
FRONT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING LIGHT RAIN AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...WITH SOME POST FRONTAL MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS SATURDAY.
LOWERED TEMPS FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS GFS HAS COME AROUND TO
THE ECMWF SOLUTION OF USHERING IN -5 TO -15 850MB TEMPS SATURDAY
NIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY.

INTERESTING WEATHER SCENARIO DEVELOPING EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS
SHORTWAVE RIDGING DEVELOPS MONDAY WITH STRONG WAA/ISENTROPIC
LIFT...ESPECIALLY IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.
WITH DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW...MOISTURE PROFILE WILL DEEPEN AND WHILE
THE ECMWF WARMS TEMPS TO ALLOW PRECIP TO START AS RAIN MONDAY...GFS
AND ITS STRONGER 1036 MB HIGH IN THE NORTHEAST WOULD START PRECIP AS
FREEZING RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES...ALONG WITH MVFR CIGS...WILL
INCREASE OVER THE FAR WESTERN MOUNTAINS THRU THIS EVENING...WITH
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS AT ALL EASTERN SITES. EVEN COLDER AIR ARRIVES
WITH GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT. THIS
IN COMBO WITH RESIDUAL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY BRING IFR CONDITIONS
TO BLF...AND LOW MVFR TO LWB. NW WIND GUSTS TO 25 KTS MAY OCCUR
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS THRU THIS EVENING.

THE UPSLOPE MVFR TO IFR SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE IN THE SE WV
MOUNTAINS AND NEIGHBORING PORTIONS OF SW VA UNTIL ABOUT DAYBREAK
WEDNESDAY...BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE VFR CONDITIONS INTO FRIDAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT AND BRING THE NEXT
CHC FOR PRECIPITATION...ALONG WITH MVFR/POSSIBLE IFR CONDITIONS.
ANOTHER WEAK IMPULSE FROM THE WEST MAY BRING PERIODS OF MVFR IN
LIGHT PRECIP BY SUNDAY.
