AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
951 PM EDT SUN MAR 28 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE AND COLD FRONT WILL SWING EAST OVER THE AREA LATE
TONIGHT AND PUSH INTO THE MID ATLANTIC MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BRING CLEARING SKIES AND MUCH WARMER WEATHER TO THE AREA FROM MID
WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
TORNADO WATCH 38 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHSIDE
VA INTO NW NC PIEDMONT. HAVE HAD REPORTS OF PENNY SIZED HAIL IN
YANCEYVILLE BUT NOTHING OF SVR CRITERIA. SFC WEDGE RESIDES JUST IN
THE AREA OF CONVECTION...SO IT IS A CLOSE CALL AND TO IF ANY SVR
WINDS OR ROTATIONS COULD REACH THE SFC PER INVERSION.

THE OTHER MAIN ISSUE WILL BE THE FLOOD WATCH. RAINFALL ACCELARATED
FURTHER EAST THIS AFTN AND SITUATION LOOKS BETTER FOR THE WRN HALF
OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT AS SHOWER ACTIVITY IS SCATTERED AND NOT THAT
HEAVY. THE JET STRUCTURE STILL FAVORS ANOTHER 3-6 HOURS OF
CONVECTION OVER THE PIEDMONT SO KEEPING THE FLOOD WATCH JUST EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND CANCELLING THE WEST.

TEMPS OVERNIGHT WILL HOLD STEADY AND MAY RISE A DEGREE OR TWO...AS
THE FRONT STAYS WEST OF US EARLY AND THE COOLER AIRMASS LAGS.

WITH MODEL BIAS TENDING TO REMOVE POPS TOO QUICKLY FROM THE
EXTREME SE PORTION OF THE CWA AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES TOWARDS THE
COAST...HELD ONTO TO HIGHER POPS IN THE EAST 12Z TO 18Z MONDAY.
THEN...TRIED TO DRY OUT THE MIDDLE BETWEEN EXITING LOW AND THE
UPSLOPE IN THE WEST. WENT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM THE UPPER 40S
IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST CLOSER TO THE
COOL GUIDANCE WITH THE ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
TRICKY FORECAST FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. GFS THE
OUTLIER OF THE SHORT-MIDTERM MODELS IN THE IMPACT OF A STRONG
SHORT WAVE TROF THAT WILL MOVE EAST AND NORTHEAST OUT OF SOUTHERN
ARKANSAS AND SIGNIFICANTLY AMPLIFY AND SLOW THE UPPER TROF MOVING
EAST OUT OF THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. THE MORE AGGRESSIVE GFS
SOLUTION RESULTS IN A MUCH SLOWER UPPER AND SURFACE LOW THAT
ALLOWS WRAP AROUND MOISTURE IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE TO LINGER OVER
BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA MUCH LONGER THAN DEPICTED BY EITHER THE
NAM OR ECMWF.

LATEST DISCUSSION FROM HPC IS INDICATING THAT GFS IS SUFFERING FROM
CONVECTIVE GRID-SCALE FEEDBACK ACROSS FLORIDA/SE COAST THAT EVENTUALLY
CONTRIBUTES TO QUESTIONABLY STRONG PHASING WITH AND SLOWING OF THE
PARENT CYCLONE. AGREE WITH HPC THAT BLEND OF THE NAM/ECMWF EARLY
BEFORE TRANSITIONING AWAY FROM THE NAM AND TOWARD THE ECWMF AND
ENSEMBLE MEANS LATE IN THE PERIOD IS WARRANTED.

THE LATTER SOLUTIONS SUPPORT THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION
UNDER THE DEFORMATION ZONE OF THE UPPER LOW MOVING OUT OF THE
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA BY EARLY MONDAY
NIGHT...TO BE REPLACED BY MAINLY DIURNALLY-DRIVEN SHOWERS UNDER
THE UPPER COOL...AND SOME UPSLOPING ACROSS THE WEST...TUESDAY
INTO TUESDAY EVENING. SOME WET SNOW MAY EVEN MIX IN AT TIMES ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS COLDER AIR SPREADS INTO THE REGION ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING SYSTEM.

SURFACE AND UPPER HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE AREA FROM THE
WEST SHOULD ALLOW FOR SKIES TO GRADUALLY CLEAR TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH
DRY AND WARMER WEATHER TO RETURN ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE PINWHEELING OVER THE ATLANTIC AND DEEP FULL LATITUDE
TROF OVER THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE NATION WILL ESTABLISH A STABLE
OMEGA BLOCK...WITH FULL LATITUDE UPPER RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN
PORTION OF THE NATION THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES THROUGH
MUCH OF THE PERIOD...MAINTAINING SOUTHWESTERLY-WESTERLY SURFACE
FLOW OVER THE BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA.

850 MILLIBAR TEMPERATURES FORECAST TO RISE INTO 16-18C RANGE...
AND WITH ABUNDANT INSOLATION EXPECTED...WILL LIKELY SEE TEMPERATURES
REACH WELL INTO THE 60S-MID 70S IN THE MOUNTAINS...WITH READINGS
IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S QUITE POSSIBLE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE DUE
TO ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF COMPRESSIONAL DOWNSLOPE WARMING.

AIR MASS EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAIRLY DRY THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH
DEW POINTS GENERALLY IN THE 40S...SO EXPECT GOOD DIURNAL
TEMPERATURE CURVE. NIGHTTIME LOWS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE 40S IN THE
DEEPER MOUNTAIN VALLEYS...TO MAINLY 50S BY THE END OF THE PERIOD
ACROSS THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
CONVECTION WITH HEAVY RAINS AND EMBEDDED TSRA WILL AFFECT THE
DAN/LYH CORRIDOR INTO EARLY OVERNIGHT...06Z TIME FRAME. CIGS/VSBYS
ARE GOING TO VARY FROM MVFR TO LIFR...BUT PREDOMINANTLY STAY ON
THE LOW END.

CONFIDENCE IN MODELS IS LOW...AS THEY ARE VARYING FROM CLEARING
OUT THE LOW CIGS OVERNIGHT IN THE WEST TO KEEPING IFR OR LOWER
GOING. GIVEN THE FRONT TO OUR WEST...WILL HOLD ONTO PESSIMISTIC
FORECAST FOR THE AREA...BUT INCREASE CIGS BEHIND THE FRONT TO MVFR
AT ROANOKE/LYH/DAN BY 09Z-15Z. NW TO NORTH FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT
WILL KEEP CIGS LOWER AT BLF...BUT LWB SHOULD JUMP BACK TO MVFR BY
15Z AS WELL.

ARRIVAL OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FOLLOWING THIS SYSTEM SHOULD
BRING VFR CONDITIONS BACK ON TUESDAY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
CLOUDS MAY LINGER IN THE MOUNTAINS UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
CLEARING SKIES BY WEDNESDAY WHEN INCREASED DRYING/SUBSIDENCE TAKES
SHAPE. EXPECT VFR AT ALL SITES WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY UNDER
HIGH PRESSURE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WATCH WILL BE TRIMMED ON ITS WESTERN EDGE AS BEST MOISTURE
TRANSPORT REMAINS ACROSS THE PIEDMONT. SOME FLASH FLOODING HAS
ALREADY OCCURRED AND WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FF SITUATION FOR SEVERAL
MORE HOURS ACROSS CASWELL...PITTSYLVANIA...AND HALIFAX. FAST
MOVING CELLS HAVE BEEN TRAINING FOR SEVERAL HOURS ALREADY. RADAR
HAS ALSO BEEN UNDERESTIMATING AMOUNTS...POSSIBLY BY UP TO 50 PERCENT
THIS EVENING. LOOKS LIKE THE DAN RIVER BASIN ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA
HAS ALREADY RECEIVED 1 TO 2 INCHES OF BASIN-WIDE RAIN AND VERY FAST RISES
ARE LIKELY ON THE DAN RIVER LATER THIS EVENING AND TOMORROW. RIVER
FLOOD FORECASTS FOR THE DAN WILL BE ON THE WAY ONCE RFC GUIDANCE IS
DELIVERED. WILL BE LOOKING AT THE JAMES BASIN AS WELL BUT AXIS OF HEAVIEST
RAIN HAS BEEN MOSTLY EAST OF THE JAMES SO FORECASTS MAY COME DOWN
SOME THERE.
