AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
339 PM EST WED FEB 24 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST WILL ADVANCE
NORTHWARD AND INTENSIFY OVERNIGHT...AND BECOME A MAJOR WINTER
STORM FOR THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SNOW
SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER NIGHT FROM SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA SOUTH
INTO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA...AS NORTHWEST FLOW
DEVELOPS IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL
BECOME GUSTY ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...AS
SNOW STILL CONTINUES ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
STILL WILL BE CONTENDING INTO THE EVENING HOURS WITH THE RAIN/SNOW
MIX THAT IS ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.
PRECIPITATION IS ON THE NORTHWEST FLANK OF A DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW.
BELIEVE PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH IT WILL CONTINUE TO SKIRT THE
FAR EASTERN PORTION THE AREA UNTIL MIDDAY THURSDAY. AS TEMPERATURES
FALL...THERE WILL BE A TREND FOR THE PRECIPITATION TO BE ALL
SNOW...AND GRADUALLY START TO STICK TO THE GROUND MORE. THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR MEASURABLE SNOW WILL LAST THROUGH JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT AT WHICH TIME SNOW CHANCES WILL DECREASE NOTABLY. SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT
WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF A 0.5 TO 1.5 INCHES GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST
OF A LINE FROM LYNCHBURG TO DANVILLE...WITH THE TOP END OF THIS
RANGE OVER PARTS OF BUCKINGHAM AND HALIFAX COUNTIES.
OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA TONIGHT WILL SEE THE ONSET OF
UPSLOPE SNOWS THAT WILL LAST INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. LOOK FOR
ACCUMULATING SNOWS TO BEGIN AND GROW IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE PREFERRED WESTERN FACING SLOPES OF WESTERN
GREENBRIER COUNTY WEST VIRGINA SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF
NORTH CAROLINA WILL RECEIVE THE MOST SNOW...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS THE
FARTHER EAST ONE IS TOWARDS THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. THESE SNOWS
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS DURING THE
PERIOD FROM TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WILL AVERAGE 4 TO 6 INCHES
ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA...1 TO 5 ACROSS THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA...2 TO 5 ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE
REGION OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA...AND 1 TO 3 ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NEW
RIVER VALLEY AND SOUTHERN ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA.
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES AND WINTER STORM WARNINGS WILL BEGIN AT
7PM AND WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR A LONG LONG TIME. SEE THE LATEST
WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE FOR THE DETAILS.
DURING THIS SAME TIME PERIOD...WINDS WILL BE INCREASING
SIGNIFICANTLY THANKS TO THE DEEPENING COASTAL LOW...THE ORIENTATION
AND DEEPNESS OF THE PASSING UPPER LOW...AND PRESSURE RISES BEHIND
THE DEPARTING ARCTIC FRONT. BY MIDDAY THURSDAY WIND GUSTS WILL BE
APPROACHING 35 TO 45 MPH AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND 30 TO 40 MPH EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE. GIVEN RECENT RAINS AND SNOW MELT...THE GROUND IS
VERY MOIST AND WIND SPEEDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE WILL LIKELY DOWN
TREES...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. WILL HAVE A HIGH WIND WARNING
IN EFFECT STARTING MIDDAY THURSDAY FOR COUNTIES ALONG AND JUST WEST
OF THE CREST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AN OCCLUDED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DRIFT FROM THE MID ATLANTIC
REGION INTO NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE PERIOD. WRAP-A-ROUND MOISTURE
AND TRAJECTORIES FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL BRING SNOW SHOWERS TO THE
MOUNTAINS WITH SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS ALONG WESTERN SLOPES AND
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2500 FEET THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
WITH SUCH A LONG DURATION OF SNOWFALL AND AMOUNTS NEARING 24 INCHES
IN WESTERN GREENBRIER TO 18 INCHES ACROSS WESTERN SLOPES OF MERCER
AND SUMMERS COUNTIES...WILL EXTENDED WARNING OUT THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING. EACH 24 HOUR PERIOD COULD SEE 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW WITH A
FEW LULLS FROM TIME TO TIME. LIGHTER ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS WESTERN
FACING SLOPES OF TAZEWELL...SMYTH...GRAYSON AND NORTH CAROLINA
HIGHLANDS COULD SEE 24 HOUR SNOWFALL EACH DAY OF 2 TO 6 INCHES. SNOW
WILL END A DAY EARLIER THAN THE WARNING COUNTIES TO HAVE THE
ADVISORY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
WITH A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES PASSING ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND
OVER NORTH CAROLINA...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE TO SEE SNOW SHOWERS
ADVANCE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE AND INTO THE FOOTHILLS. ACCUMULATIONS
SHOULD NOT AMOUNT TO MUCH ESPECIALLY WITH INCREASING WINDS THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY.
WITH A DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW AND A LOW LEVEL JET ALONG THE BLUE
RIDGE OF 60-70 KTS...EXPECTED BLUSTERY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA
WITH BLOWING SNOW REDUCING VISIBILITIES FROM TIME TO TIME THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. PRESSURE RISES ARE WEAK AND CLOUDS/INVERSION
SHOULD LIMIT THE STRONGER WINDS TO HIGHER ELEVATIONS ALONG THE BLUE
RIDGE THURSDAY NIGHT. SUBSIDENCE INCREASES DURING THE DAY FRIDAY AND
WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...HIGH WINDS COULD MIX DOWN FOR COUNTIES
EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. HIGH WIND CLIMATOLOGY FOR A DEVELOPING
COASTAL LOW SUGGEST HIGH WINDS COULD CAUSE DAMAGE AND POWER OUTAGES
AS FAR EAST AS DANVILLE AND LYNCHBURG. HIGH WINDS WARNINGS FOR
MOUNTAIN COUNTIES ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE TO START THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND END SATURDAY MORNING. A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR FOOTHILL COUNTIES
TO START FRIDAY MORNING AND END FRIDAY EVENING. WIND NOT QUITE TO
WARNING CRITERIA IN THE PIEDMONT AND SE WV COUNTIES BUT STILL COULD
SEE POWER OUTAGES. THEREFORE...WILL HAVE THE FAR EASTERN AND FAR
WESTERN COUNTIES IN AN ADVISORY FRIDAY.
THE MOUNTAINS WILL NOT SEE ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST
OF THE MONTH...WHICH IS ONLY 4 DAYS. DOWNSLOPING WINDS WILL HELP THE
EAST WARM ABOVE FREEZING BUT REMAIN BELOW NORMAL.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
UPSLOPE SNOWS SHOULD FINALLY END ON MONDAY...AS THE SYSTEM THROUGH
NEW ENGLAND MOVES EAST. A FEW SHRTWVS ROUNDING THE UPPER LOW WILL
ALLOW FOR SNOW SHWS TO CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF SUNDAY ACROSS SE
WEST VA. ATTENTION THEN SHIFTS TO POTENTIAL SYSTEM INTO NEXT WEEK.
NOT MANY CHGS WITH CURRENT LONG RANGE SUITE. THE OP GFS IS THE
FARTHEST EAST OFF THE COAST...WITH THE GEFS STILL OFF THE COAST BUT
FARTHER WEST. THE ECMWF/CANADIAN...AND AS HPC REMARKS...THE ECMWF
ENSEMBLES ARE CLOSER TO THE COAST WITH AN IMPACT THROUGH THE
SOUTHEAST AND PERHAPS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC. ALTHOUGH NO SOLUTION
REALLY MOVES QPF INTO THE CWA...DID GO WITH SOME SLT CHC AND CHC
POPS CONSIDERING THE UNCERTAINTY...HPC SURFACE PLOTS...AND LARGE SE
BIAS THAT HAS PLAGUED THE LONG RANGE MODELS THIS SEASON. ALSO...THE
OP GFS PLACEMENT OF THE ACTUAL SURFACE LOW SEEMS TO BE DISPLACED TOO
FAR SOUTH AND EAST OF THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL FEATURES. THERE IS
STILL REASONABLE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS SYSTEM IMPACTS THE CWA NEXT
WEEK. DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT TIMING AT THIS POINT...SO PLACED THE
HIGHEST POPS IN ALL OF DAY 7...WHICH AT THIS POINT WOULD BE NEXT
TUESDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AREA OF MIXED SNOW AND RAIN WILL CONTINUE PROGRESSING NORTH
GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF A KLYH-KMWK LINE THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE AFTERNOON THROUGH ROUGHLY 02Z THIS EVENING. CIGS WILL
PRIMARILY BE LIFR/IFR IN THIS REGION WITH POCKETS OF MVFR. VSBYS
WILL MAINLY BE MVFR. PRECIPIATION IS IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE THAT IS CURRENTLY JUST ARRIVING AT THE COAST AFTER
CROSSING THE CAROLINAS. ONCE THE PRECIPITATION ENDS...CIGS ARE
EXPECTED TO RETURN TO MVFR OR LOW END VFR CONDTIONS WITH VFR
VSBYS. THIS LOW WILL TRACK NORTH ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT. AREAS
EAST OF A KLYH-DAN LINE MIGHT SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH
THE WESTERN FLANK OF THIS DEVELOPING STORM WITH MVFR CIGS.
IN THE WEST TONIGHT...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE INCREASING BEHIND AN
ARCTIC COLD FRONT. THIS WILL HELP TURN ON THE UPSLOPE SNOW MACHINE
AND BRING SNOW SHOWERS TO AN AREA GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST OF A
LINE FROM KTNB-KLWB. IFR CIGS AND MVFR VSBYS WILL LIKELY ACCOMPANY
THE SNOW SHOWERS WITH POCKETS OF EVEN LOWER CIG AND VSBY
CATEGORIES WITH THE HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS. THESE SNOW SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE INTO THE DAYTIME THURDAY. EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE ON
WEDNESDAY...THE PREVAILING NORTHWEST WINDS WILL HELP TO ERODE THE
CLOUD COVER RESULTING IN A SCT-BKN VFR CLOUDS BY LATE MORNING.
VERY STRONG W-NW WINDS WILL DEVELOP AFTER 18Z WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUE
INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. AT THE PEAK OF THE STRONGEST WINDS MIDDAY
FRIDAY...GUSTS OVER 50 KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE CREST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE.
UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS WITH ACCOMPANYING MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS WILL
CONTINUE IN THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
