AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
403 PM EDT TUE AUG 17 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL REMAIN STALLED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS TODAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BEFORE FINALLY HEADING SOUTHEAST THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH OVER
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 1930Z...330 PM EDT...A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS OVER THE
AREA. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH IT WERE GENERALLY
STREAMING NORTHWEST ALONG AND SW-NE ORIENTED AREA ABOUT THREE
COUNTIES WIDE...CENTERED ALONG THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. VERY
HIGH RAINFALL RATES...UP TO FOUR INCHES PER HOUR...ARE POSSIBLE WITH
SOME OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND STORMS HEADING THROUGH THIS EVENING.
COVERAGE WILL WANE ONLY BRIEFLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT...THEN LOOK FOR A
BROADER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION IN
RESPONSE TO A SHORTWAVE TROUGH RIDING NORTHEAST ALONG THE STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS FEATURE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF GULF OF MEXICO
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THE INFLUENCE OF THIS FEATURE WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE DAYTIME WEDNESDAY. AS SUCH...IN COLLABORATION WITH
NEIGHBORING OFFICES...WE HAVE POSTED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH STARTING
NOW...AND CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY EVENING. LOWS TONIGHT
WILL BE COMPARABLE TO LAST NIGHT WITH LOWER 70S EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE AND MID TO UPPER 60S IN THE MOUNTAINS. ON WEDNESDAY...PLENTY
OF PRECIPITATION WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES ON THE COOLER THAN NORMAL
SIDE. MID TO UPPER 70S WILL BE COMMON IN MOST LOCATIONS. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE AREAS NEAR THE NC/VA BORDER EAST OF THE FOOTHILLS
WERE LOWER 80S ARE POSSIBLE. ALSO AT THE HIGHER MOUNTAIN
PEAKS...LOWER 70S ARE EXPECTED FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SFC LOW PRESSURE WILL LIKELY BE MOVG
ACROSS THE CAROLINAS WED NIGHT...STILL TAPPING INTO DEEP TROPICAL
MOISTURE ACROSS THE SRN CWA. HAVE MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS WED NIGHT
TILL 200 AM THU MORN...THEN TAPER POPS OFF HEADING INTO THU.
CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS AND A LIGHT NORTHEAST FLOW THU BEHIND THIS
WAVE THURSDAY MAY BRING A MUCH COOLER DAY...BUT FOR NOW HAVE JUST
LOWERED HIGH TEMPS TO THE COOL SIDE OF GUIDANCE. THURSDAY NIGHT
AND FRIDAY WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. THU NIGHT MAY
BE FAIRLY COOL IN THE MTNS IF THE CLOUD COVER MOVES OUT. OF
COURSE...MAY ALSO BE A LOT OF FOG. FOR NOW...HAVE LOWERED MIN
TEMPS A FEW DEGREES. THINK WE WILL SEE SOME 50S IN THE MTNS. HIGHS
FRIDAY NEAR NORMAL AS THERE IS NOT MUCH COOL AIR MOVING IN WITH
THE WEAK HIGH PRESSURE. I EXPECT IT TO BE DRY FRIDAY...THOUGH HAVE
KEPT A SLIGHT CHC POP FOR THE AFT IN THE MTNS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...A STRONG SHORT WAVE MOVG OVER THE RIDGE
AND INTO THE SRN/CENTRAL APPLNS BRINGS WARM ADVECTION...AND GOOD 850
MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA- ESPECIALLY THE MTNS. MODELS ARE
EVEN INDICATING THAT THIS SHORT WAVE MAY PICK UP SOME OF THE
TROPICAL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD TROPICAL DEPRESSION FIVE.
LIKELY SOME DYNAMIC FORCING ACROSS THE AREA AS WELL. AT THE
SFC...THERE IS JUST A WEAK WARM FRONT THAT MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO
VALLEY AND INTO THE CENTRAL APPLNS. MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD
HAVING MORE PRECIP WITH THE FEATURE...SO HAVE CHC POPS GOING BY SAT
AFTERNOON ALL AREAS...WITH THE HIGHEST NEAR THE WARM FNT ACROSS SE
WV. HAVE CHANGED THE INTENSITY OF THE SHOWERS TO MODERATE...BUT
HEAVY WILL NEED TO BE ADDED IF IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAVE MAY PICK UP
TROPICAL MOISTURE. TEMPS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY ARE STILL WARM.
HAVE STAYED CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE...WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO
LOWER 70S FRIDAY NIGHT...AND HIGHS SATURDAY LOWER TO MID 80S MTNS TO
NEAR 90 IN THE PIEDMONT.

FCST BEYOND SATURDAY GETS A LITTLE TRICKY. MODELS CONTINUE TO
AMPLIFY A TROUGH OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST IN RESPONSE TO A
DEEPENING TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST. A STRONG PIECE OF ENERGY MOVG
OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. RIDGE DIVES INTO THE EASTERN TROUGH AND THE
12Z GFS/00Z ECMWF ACTUALLY DROP A CLOSED UPPER LOW SOUTHWARD THRU
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. THIS IS
MORE OF A FALL PATTERN...WITH POTENTIAL INSTABILITY SHOWERS/TSTMS
EACH DAY UNDER THE COLD POOL ALOFT. HAVE GENERALLY STUCK CLOSE TO
HPC POPS...WHICH ARE EITHER LOW CHC OF SLIGHT CHC...THROUGH THE
SUNDAY TO TUESDAY PERIOD. THIS CONVECTION WOULD BE MAINLY
DIURNAL...SO BEST COVERAGE EACH DAY WILL BE IN THE AFT AND EVENING
HOURS. THERE IS NOT MUCH COLD AIR ADVECTION THIS FAR SOUTH...BUT
MODELS DO GRADUALLY COOL...SO HAVE SHOWN A COOLING TREND IN THE
OVERNIGHT LOWS AND DAYTIME HIGHS FROM SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. IF THE
CLOSED LOW CONTINUES TO TREND STRONGER AND FURTHER
SOUTH...TEMPERATURES WILL BE EVEN COOLER THAN FCST DUE TO A LITTLE
STRONGER COLD ADVECTION...AND MORE CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED WITH THE COL
POOL ALOFT.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALIZED IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS
WILL BE THE RULE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO
THE EARLY EVENING HOURS THANKS TO A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS
THE AREA. OUTSIDE THE PRECIPITATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.
THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE ALONG
AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM KLYH-KROA-KTNB. OVERNIGHT...A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AN ASSOCIATED GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE WILL RIDE ALONG THE
STALLED FRONT AND PROGRESS THROUGH THE REGION. ARRIVAL WILL BE
AFTER 06Z TONIGHT AND ITS INFLUENCE WILL BE FELT THROUGH AT LEAST
18Z ON WEDNESDAY. EXPECT MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS UPON THE
ONSET OF THIS PRECIPITATION WITH A GREATER NUMBER OF POCKETS OF
IFR CONDITIONS UNDER THE HEAVIEST OF PRECIPITATION.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE PASSING SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE INTO
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. BY WEDNESDAY EVENING THE PRECIPITATION WILL
AGAIN BECOME MORE SCATTERED WITH OVERNIGHT IFR/MVFR FOG DEVELOPING
AS CLOUD COVER DECREASES.

THE FRONT SLIDES SOUTH OF THE REGION BY THURSDAY NIGHT TAKING THE
BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WITH IT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
AREA AND WE MAY SEE SOME WEDGE INDUCED IFR/MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ON THE
LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. SUB-VFR
CONDITIONS MAY CONTINUE IN SOME PLACES THROUGHOUT THE DAYTIME FRIDAY.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH SOME LOCALIZED
MVFR CONDITIONS RETURN TO THE AREA AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND
THEN MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG A STALLED FRONT WILL
BRING LOCALLY VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS THROUGH THIS EVENING. RAINFALL
RATES OF UP TO FOUR INCHES AN HOUR ARE OCCURRING IN THESE STORMS.
SOME LOCATIONS MAY SEE TWO OR MORE INCHES OF RAIN IN LESS THAN AN
HOUR. THIS WOULD LIKELY CAUSE FLASH FLOODING ON SMALLER CREEKS AND
IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ALONG THE
FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THIS IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD HEAVY
RAIN ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. THE EXTENT OF THE WATCH AREA MAY NEED
TO BE ADJUSTED FOR THE LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY PERIOD...
DEPENDING ON WHERE THE BAND OF HEAVY RAIN SETS UP.
