TAZEWELL...NORTHERN PULASKI AND NORTHERN WYTHE COUNTIES...

AT 930 AM EST...LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WEATHER SPOTTERS CONTINUED 
TO REPORT FLOODING ALONG SEVERAL STREAMS AND CREEKS...INCLUDING SOME 
OF THE LARGER RIVERS.

IN PULASKI COUNTY VIRGINIA...FLOODING HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE TOWN OF 
PULASKI ALONG PEAK CREEK.  SAND BAGS HAVE USED TO TRY AND PROTECT 
THE 911 CENTER FROM THE FLOOD WATERS.

IN TAZEWELL COUNTY VIRGINIA...STATE ROUTE 102 BETWEEN FALLS MILLS 
AND POCAHONTAS IS CLOSED DUE TO HIGH WATER...IN ADDITION TO BIG 
BRANCH ROAD.  BEAVER POND CREEK IN DOWNTOWN BLUEFIELD VIRGINIA IS NO 
LONGER RISING AND HAS DROPPED SOMEWHAT AND MOST STREETS HAVE BEEN 
RE-OPENED.

IN GILES COUNTY VIRGINIA...SEVERAL MUDSLIDES HAVE BEEN REPORTED 
ALONG HIGHWAY 460 IN NARROWS VA. BIG WALKER CREEK CONTINUES TO 
RISE.  THE LEVEL OF THE CREEK AT 8:00 AM WAS 16 FEET.  THE CREEK IS 
FORECAST TO RISE ANOTHER 5 FEET BEFORE CRESTING EARLY THIS 
AFTERNOON.  WOLF CREEK NEAR NARROWS IS ALSO RISING AND SHOULD CREST 
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.  FLOODING IS OCCURRING ALONG BOTH OF THESE 
STREAMS. 

IN MERCER COUNTY AND SUMMERS COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA...MAJOR FLOODING 
IS ONGOING ALONG THE BLUESTONE RIVER.  THE RIVER LEVEL AT PIPESTEM 
REACHED 17.18 FEET EARLIER THIS MORNING.  THIS IS AN ALL TIME 
HISTORICAL CREST...OCCURRING SINCE THE BLUESTONE DAM WAS COMPLETED 
IN 1949.  THE PREVIOUS HISTORICAL CREST WAS 15.82 FEET IN 1977.  THE 
RIVER HAS CRESTED AT PIPESTEM...BUT FLOODING IS STILL ONGOING.

ALL OF THE CREEKS AND RIVERS THAT DRAIN PULASKI...EASTERN 
TAZEWELL...GILES...MERCER AND SUMMERS...FLOW INTO THE NEW RIVER. 
THIS HIGH VOLUME OF WATER WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT RISE ALONG 
THE NEW RIVER FROM RADFORD VIRGINIA TO HINTON WEST VIRGINIA.  IT IS 
ESTIMATED THE VOLUME OF WATER WITHIN THE NEW RIVER WILL DOUBLE OVER 
THE NEXT 24 HOURS. INTERESTS ALONG THE NEW RIVER...AND IMMEDIATE 
TRIBUTARIES SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM THESE STREAMS.  


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
643 AM EST SAT MAR 13 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE COVERING THE MID ATLANTIC REGION WILL MOVE SLOWLY
EAST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND WILL BE OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST
SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LOW PRESSURE WAS CENTERED IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA WITH AN AXIS OF
SURFACE CONVERGENCE FROM THE LOW IN TO SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA. A
BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS EXTENDED ALONG THE CONVERGENCE
AXIS. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS REPORTED BY THE IFLOWS NETWORK
RANGED FROM 1.5 TO 2.5 INCHES. PRECIPITATION IS BEING ENHANCED
NORTH OF THE LOW BY UPSLOPE ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE. WILL CONTINUE
THE FLOOD WATCH IN ALL AREAS. MAY BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE COUNTIES
IN NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA BUT LOCAL GAGES SHOW CREEKS AND STREAMS
STILL RISING IN THAT AREA.

SREF AND LOCAL WRF LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE
NORTHERN DRIFT OF THE BAND OF HEAVY RAIN. HAVE ADJUSTED THE
PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION WITH HIGHEST PERCENTAGE IN THE NORTH
TO REFLECT THIS TIMING. EXPECT THAT AFTER 18Z MUCH OF THIS
RAINFALL WILL BE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. ENOUGH LOW LEVEL
WEST WINDS BY THAT TIME TO HAVE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN THE
WESTERN UPSLOPE COUNTIES. MODELS AREA ALSO SHOWING A WEAK SHORT
WAVE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW WHICH WILL JUST BE MOVING INTO
NORTH CAROLINA BY THE END OF THE DAY. THIS MAY TRIGGER A FEW
SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA SO HAVE LEFT CHANCE
PROBABILITY IN FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

AS UPPER LOW APPROACHES TEMPERATURES AT 850 MB START TO DROP.
TOOK A BLEND OF MET/MAV GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS TODAY. LOWS TONIGHT
WILL BE INTO THE 30S IN THE MOUNTAINS SO KEPT THE MIX OF SNOW IN
AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS LATE TONIGHT. STILL SLIGHTLY TOO WARM FOR
ANYTHING BUT MINIMAL ACCUMULATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...THE AREA REMAINS IN NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE
EXITING UPPER LOW. PRECIPITATION WILL BE CONFINED TO PRIMARILY THE
MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY THOSE OF SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA. THE
PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL BE MAINLY RAIN SHOWERS. HOWEVER...WITH
COLDER AIR BUILDING BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW...WE CANNOT RULE OUT
SOME ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS FOR A FEW HOURS LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...AND
MONDAY NIGHT AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA AND
IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA. ANY ACCUMULATIONS WOULD
BE UNDER ONE HALF INCH EACH NIGHT. WINDS WILL INCREASE ON MONDAY AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW AND AN
APPROACHING AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE. THIS HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO
BUILD INTO THE REGION ON TUESDAY BRINGING DECREASING CLOUD COVER AND
A DRY FORECAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS CHARACTERIZED BY DRY WEATHER AND NEAR TO
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. WE WILL REMAIN IN A MEAN TROUGH
THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES STARTING OUT AROUND 1C
ON TUESDAY AND INCREASING TO 4-5C BY FRIDAY. THIS WILL MEAN WE WILL
SEE INCREASING TEMPERATURES EACH DAY THROUGH FRIDAY...USED 850MB
TEMPERATURES AS A STARTING POINT FOR HIGHS AND BLENDED WITH MOSGUIDE.

WITH THE TROUGH OVERHEAD WE WILL HAVE RATHER STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...WHICH COULD ALLOW ISOLATED
AFTERNOON SHOWERS TO DEVELOP. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS APPEARS TO BE
ACROSS THE WEST...BUT ANY SHOWERS WILL BE ISOLATED AND THEREFORE
CURRENTLY JUST GOING WITH A DRY FORECAST. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR MORE
WIDESPREAD RAIN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE UNTIL SUNDAY...WHEN MODELS
SHOW A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BAND OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS WILL BE ONGOING AT LWB AT 12Z
WITH BLF AND ROA ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE BAND. THE
PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH AND IS EXPECTED TO CLEAR
OUT OF LWB AROUND 17Z. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES IN THIS AREA WILL
BE MVFR WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CEILINGS WITH THE HEAVIER SHOWERS.

LOW CONFIDENCE IN REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS LATE THIS MORNING INTO
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS THE
WINDS BECOME MORE WESTERLY UPSLOPE SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND A WEAK SHORT WAVE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW MAY
SPARK ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE BY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WITH THE UPSLOPE IN THE WEST CEILINGS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN MVFR. IN THE EAST CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO
VFR THIS AFTERNOON. CEILINGS MAY DROP TO IFR AT LWB AND BLF AFTER
00Z BUT ONLY MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN.

SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE LIKELY SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES FALLING BACK INTO THE MVFR/IFR RANGE
DURING THESE SHOWERS. LOOKS LIKE LOW CLOUDS AND SPOTTY -RA MAY
KEEP AT LEAST MVFR CONDITIONS GOING INTO MONDAY WITH SOME SLOW
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO CHANGES TO THE FLOOD WATCH. BLUESTONE DAM AND CLAYTOR LAKE HAVE
INCREASED THEIR RELEASES.

THE FORECASTS FOR THE NEW...GREENBRIER AND JAMES RIVERS WILL BE
UPDATED BY NOON.
