AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
221 AM EDT WED OCT 27 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS MORNING AND
SLOWLY EDGE EAST OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR AHEAD AND BEHIND THIS FRONT INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION BY FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
BEST INSTABILITY AND STILL IMPRESSIVE SHEAR REMAIN TO THE EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE. HAVE CANCELLED TORNADO WATCH WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE.

TUESDAY EVENING UPDATE OF THE UPDATE...
CANCELLED THE WIND ADVISORY IN THE WEST. PREFRONTAL BAND HAS MOVED
THROUGH THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES...ENDING STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND
COMPONENT. THE TORNADIC THREAT CONTINUES...ESP THE ERN
CWA...SOUTHSIDE VA INTO NC.

PREVIOUS UPDATE...

TORNADO WATCH 729 ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE CWA UNTIL 3:00 AM.
ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR ALL STORMS TO ROTATE DURING THE
OVERNIGHT...QUESTION IS WHETHER THE STRONGER WINDS WILL MIX TO THE
GROUND AND WHETHER WE CAN GET ENOUGH DEPTH TO THE THUNDERSTORM
CORES TO PROMOTE TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT. HIGHEST CAPES ARE OVER
SOUTHSIDE VA AND THE PIEDMONT OF NC...MUCAPES OF AROUND 1000
J/KG. 0-3 KM SR HELICITIES ARE AROUND 500. AS SUCH...IF DEPTH OF
STORMS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS HIGH AMOUNT OF SHEAR...TORNADIC
DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE QUITE FAVORABLE.

GIVEN THE ENVIRONMENT WE ARE IN...AND THE FAST FORWARD SPEED OF
THE SHOWERS AND STORMS...50 KT MEAN WIND...LEAD TIME FOR WARNINGS
TONIGHT WILL BE SMALL. FOR FOLKS WITHOUT ACCESS TO RADAR OR
ABILITY TO RECEIVE WARNINGS ONCE THEY GO TO BED...IF CLOUD TO
GROUND LIGHTNING IS OBSERVED...YOU MIGHT TAKE COVER AS A
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING IS AN INDICATOR
THAT CLOUD DEPTH HAS INCREASED. AS SUCH...THIS INCREASE IN STORM
DEPTH WILL LIKELY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HIGHER SHEAR ALOFT PROMOTING
INCREASED STORM ROTATION... NOT A GOOD THING.

THAT SAID...OVERALL TREND OF THE CAPE DURING THE OVERNIGHT SHOULD
BE DOWN. LOSS OF HEATING SHOULD ALLOW FOR CAPES TO DECREASE WITH
TIME WHICH FAVORS LOW TOPPED STORMS...NOT DEEPER ONES. AT SOME
POINT WE MAY BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE TORNADO WATCH...BUT UNTIL THEN...
WILL MAINTAIN THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES.

PREVIOUS DSCN FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER NORTHERN MINNESOTA IS PUSHING A
COLD FRONT EAST THROUGH KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE. A SQUALL LINE WITH
STRONG DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES IS ACCOMPANYING THIS
LINE AS IT MOVES EAST. THIS LINE IS BEING AIDED BY A VERY STRONG
JET AT 850MB OF 50-60 KTS WHICH IS INCREASING HELICITY ACROSS THE
AREA. BEST LARGE SCALE FORCING WILL PASS TO OUR NORTH AND BEST
INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN TO OUR SOUTHWEST. THE COMBINATION OF THESE
TWO SHOULD ALLOW THE LINE TO WEAKEN AT LEAST SLIGHTLY BEFORE IT
ARRIVES...WITH THE STRONGEST PORTION OF THE QLCS PUSHING TO OUR
NORTH ALONG WITH THE DYNAMICS...AND THE GREATEST THREAT OF
TORNADOES TO OUR SOUTHWEST WITH THE INSTABILITY.

HOWEVER WITH THAT BEING SAID...WE DO HAVE MARGINAL INSTABILITY OVER
OUR AREA OF AROUND 1000 J/KG IN THE SOUTH. GIVEN THIS INSTABILITY
AND INCREASING HELICITY MOVING INTO THE AREA...DISCRETE SUPERCELLS
OVER NORTHERN ALABAMA AND EASTERN TENNESSEE MAY MOVE INTO THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR CWA LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. ANY
SUPERCELLS THAT CAN MOVE INTO THE AREA OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN
SQUALL LINE WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE STRONG WINDS AND
POSSIBLY A TORNADO. THE MAIN SQUALL LINE WILL APPROACH SOUTHEAST
WEST VIRGINIA BETWEEN 7PM AND 10PM THIS EVENING. DESPITE NOT MUCH
UPPER LEVEL FORCING...STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL KEEP THE
LINE GOING. GIVEN THE VERY STRONG WINDS ALOFT...THIS LINE WILL
HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF MIXING THESE WINDS DOWN TO THE SURFACE.
THUS DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE LINE AS IT
ENTERS THE WESTERN PORTION OF OUR CWA. GIVEN HIGH HELICITY...STILL
CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO AS WELL WITH THE MAIN LINE.

AS THE SQUALL LINE MOVES EAST THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS BECOME PARALLEL
TO THE LINE WHICH WILL ACT TO SLOW AND WEAKEN THE LINE. JUST HOW FAR
SOUTH THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GET IS THE QUESTION. CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT THEY MAKE IT TO ROANOKE AND LYNCHBURG BY SHORTLY
AFTER MIDNIGHT BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. STRONG WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH AT LEAST
MIDNIGHT.

LEANED TOWARDS THE WARMER MOS SOLUTIONS FOR LOWS TONIGHT GIVEN
EXPECTED RAIN AND CLOUD COVER. NOT BUYING INTO THE SHARP DROP IN
TEMPERATURES ADVERTISED BY THE NAM BEHIND THE FRONT. WIND ADVISORY
POSTED FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS TONIGHT WITH THE STRONG JET ALOFT.
STRONGEST WINDS NOT LIKELY TO MAKE IT DOWN TO THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS...HOWEVER STILL COULD SEE GUSTS OF OVER 30 MPH IN THESE
LOWER ELEVATIONS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MODELS ARE DIFFERING SOME ON THE PREFRONTAL LINE OF SHOWERS/TSRA
EARLY IN THE MORNING WITH THE NAM SLIGHTLY FASTER TAKING THE FRONT
EAST INTO THE PIEDMONT BY LATE MORNING. SHOULD SEE A SLOWING AS THE
FRONT BECOMES PARALLEL TO THE FLOW ALOFT. STILL SEEING CAT POPS IN
THE WEST THRU MID MORNING AND AS THE FRONT SLIDES EAST INTO THE BLUE
RIDGE WED AFTN...THE LINE SHOULD BECOME SOMEWHAT BKN WITH LOW LVL
JET AND LIFT TAKING A NEWD TREK...SO THE THREAT OF SHOWERS WILL BE
BEST ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF THE CWA IN THE LATE MORNING TO EARLY
AFTN WITH SOME DRYING ARRIVING IN THE WEST BEHIND THE SFC FRONT THE
END OF THE DAY. THE WIND FIELD REMAINS STRONG IN THE MORNING AND NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT SVR TSRA OR GUSTY WINDS FROM THE SHOWERS
WILL TRANSLATE TO THE SFC.

REDEVELOPMENT IN THE PIEDMONT IS EXPECTED IN THE AFTN AS SOME SOLAR
INSOLATION SEEMS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. APPEARS BEST THREAT
WILL BE FROM WINDS ALONG/EAST OF HIGHWAY 29 FROM LYH/DAN BY EARLY
AFTN AND HEADING TOWARD THE VA/NC COAST LATE.

WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE FRONT WILL ALSO POTENTIALLY BRING
SOME ADDED HELICITY AND ISOLATED TORNADOES NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.
ALSO...SLOWER MOVEMENT OF FRONT MAY ALLOW TRAINING OF STORMS...WITH
HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE.

TEMPS WILL BE TRICKY WED AS MOS IS SHOWING EXTREMES WITH THE MET
GOING WITH LOWER 60S IN THE FAR WEST WHILE THE MAV HAS 70S. WENT
TOWARD A COOLER SOLUTION THE MTNS OF WV...WITH BLEND MAV/MET
ELSEWHERE.

BY WED NIGHT...THE MAIN BRUNT OF THE WEATHER WILL BE SHIFTING EAST
BUT WITH SLOWER MOVEMENT POTENTIAL...WILL SLOW DOWN THE ENDING OF
POPS AND KEEP CHANCES IN THE EAST OVERNIGHT...ENDING BY THURSDAY AT
12Z/8AM.

TEMPS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO FALL...AS WINDS STAY UP...AND
COLDER AIR MASS LAGS UNTIL THURSDAY. WINDS THURSDAY AFTN PICK UP INTO
THU NIGHT AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE
CENTRAL APPS. COULD SEE SOME SNOWFLAKES IN THE GREENBRIER COUNTY
MTNS LATE THU NIGHT AS THE SHORTWAVE PULLS EAST.

WENT CLOSE TO MAV/MET BLEND ON HIGHS THU AND LOWS THU NIGHT.

FRIDAY WILL SEE HEIGHTS START TO BUILD AS TROUGH MOVES OFF THE MID
ATLANTIC/NORTHEAST COAST...WITH SUNNY SKIES EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC FOR THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL. A STRONGER
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO SE
CANADA BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. AS AN UPPER WAVE DIVES ACROSS
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE INTO THE ARKLATEX...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
WILL DEVELOP OVER KENTUCKY. THE RESULTING EASTERLY/UPSLOPE FLOW
SHOULD PRODUCE CLOUDY/COOL/WET CONDITIONS INTO NEXT TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
STRONG 40 KT LLJ EVIDENT IN THE RAOB THIS EVENING AT ABOUT 3KFT
AGL. WINDS INCREASE TO 70 KTS AT 10KFT. LLWS WILL REMAIN IN THE
TAFS UNTIL THE LLJ WEAKENS EARLY THIS MORNING.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH 12Z. EXPECT MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES WITH THESE STORMS. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA THIS MORNING.

MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT IFR CEILINGS WILL REMAIN OVER THE WEST
SLOPES OF THE APPALACHIANS...INCLUDING BLF UNTIL MID MORNING.
STRATUS MAY ALSO REACH LWB AIRPORT BUT FOR NOW KEPT CIGS MVFR.

A RETURN TO VFR FOR MOST AREAS IS EXPECTED THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH
POST FRONTAL WINDS MAY REMAIN GUSTY THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO
FRIDAY. VFR UNDER LIGHTER WINDS SHOULD PREVAIL FOR EARLY IN THE
WEEKEND WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD.
