AT 1243 AM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED 
THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL MOVING OUT OF THE WARNED AREA TO THE NORTH. 
HOWEVER...HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH FELL EARLIER THIS EVENING WILL 
CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE IN LOW AREAS...WHICH MAY CAUSE CREEKS AND 
STREAMS TO OVERFLOW THEIR BANKS...AND WATER TO ACCUMULATE ON 
ROADWAYS.

AHO

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...AS WELL AS FARMLAND ALONG THE
BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

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.

A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 400 AM EDT TUESDAY MORNING
FOR SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
750 PM EDT MON SEP 5 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT HAS STALLED ALONG THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS FROM
PENNSYLVANIA TO GEORGIA. THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM LEE WILL
SLOWLY MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THIS BOUNDARY TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.
DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE IS FLOWING INTO THE REGION...AND WILL
RESULT ING WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 659 PM EDT MONDAY..

FORECAST BEING UPDATED TO ADD HEADLINE FOR THE LATEST TORNADO
WATCH IN THE EAST. ALSO...HAVE MADE MINOR TWEAKS TO THE POP AND
WEATHER GRID TO BETTER REFLECT A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OF ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED COVERAGE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE AREA
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. ANTICIPATING COVERAGE TO INCREASE AGAIN
LATER TONIGHT. MINOR TWEAKS TO HOURLY TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT
TRENDS ALSO THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

AS OF 400 PM EDT MONDAY...

REMNANTS OF LEE OVER SERN MS THIS AFTN WILL LIFT NE TONIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. STRONG LOW LEVEL FLOW OF TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL
INTERSECT FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WITH UPSLOPE DEVELOPING INTO THE CNTRL
APLCHNS TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. EXPANDED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
EASTWARD TO INCLUDE ALL OF CWA...WHICH MATCH UP NICELY WITH AKQ AND
LWX. HPC HAS PLACED CWA UNDER A MODERATE TO HIGH RISK FOR EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL THROUGH TUESDAY.

UPPER DYNAMICS/MOISTURE TRANSPORT COME TOGETHER BETTER FOR US
AROUND 00Z/8 PM AND LASTS INTO TUESDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE
SOUTHERN/SWRN CWA. FOR TONIGHT LOWS...WITH HIGHER DEWPOINTS IN
TROPICAL AIRMASS FOLLOWED MILDER ADJMET WITH READINGS FROM THE MID
50S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 70 IN SOUTHEAST.

PERIODS OF RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES CONTINUE TUESDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF
TROPICAL DEPRESSION LEE MAKE THEIR WAY NORTHWARD...MOVING AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM ALONG A COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST THROUGH THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE.

DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE RADIATING NORTHWARD FROM POST TROPICAL
LEE... COMBINED WITH STRONG LIFT AS THIS MOISTURE OVERRUNS THE
FRONT... WILL SUPPORT PROLONGED PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE
BLUE RIDGE... ESPECIALLY ALONG SOUTH FACING SLOPES WHERE
OROGRAPHIC LIFT WILL ENHANCE THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAIN.

IN ADDITION TO THE FLOOD THREAT...STRONG LIFT WILL COMBINE WITH
ABUNDANT VORTICITY YEILDING A TORNADIC THREAT. CAPES 500-1000 EAST
OF MTNS...LOW LCL...UNCAPPED HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT LOW
TOPPED HYBRID SUPERCELLS. THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING ISSUE UNTIL THE
LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION PASSES.

HIGHS TEMPERATURES TUESDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S WEST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE...TO THE MID 70S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 400 PM MONDAY...

BIG QUESTION AS TO MAGNITUDE OF LINGERING MOISTURE WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY. REMNANTS AND LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION FROM TROPICAL STORM
LEE SHOULD MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE STALLED APPALACHIAN FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. HOWEVER...MODELS INSIST THE UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION WILL
LINGER OVER TN/KY WITH CONTINUED RESIDUAL THREAT FOR SHOWERS.
ATTM PREFER GFS SOLUTION WITH DRY SLOT BEHIND LOW AND MID LEVEL
CIRCULATION TUESDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY RENUAL OF SHOWER
THREAT...ESP MTNS...FROM WEDNESDAY INTO THURDAY. THE LATER HALF OF
THE WEEK LOOKS UNSETTLED...ALTHOUGH THINK SOME SUN TO FILTER
THROUGH THE CLOUDS EAST OF THE MTNS.

HURRICANE KATIA IS STILL FCST TO MAKE RIGHT HAND TURN
THURSDAY...GAINING LATITUDE AND BEING TURNED NORTH THEN NORTHEAST
AWAY FROM THE U.S. MAINLAND.

TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR MID WEEK IS DEPENDANT ON AMOUNT OF COLD
AIR THAT IS ABLE TO MAKE IT EAST OF THE MTNS...IN ADDITION TO
CLOUD COVER. FOR NOW WILL KEEP READINGS COOL IN THE MTNS...AND
RAISED THEM A BIT EAST OF THE MTNS WHERE MORE SUN IS ANTICIPATED.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 400 PM EDT MONDAY...

WEEKEND FORECAST HINGES ON REMNANTS OF THE UPPER CUTOFF LOW.
LATEST GUIDANCE WEAKENS AND PINWHEELS THE FEATURE WESTWARD.
THIS SUGGESTS TEMPERATURES SHOULD MODERATE...WITH DECREASING
MOISTURE...ESP EAST OF BLUE RIDGE. WITH UPPER SUPPORT
WANING...THINK SHOWER THREAT WILL BECOME MORE DIRUNALLY DRIVEN.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...

AS OF 748 PM EDT MONDAY...

OVERNIGHT ANTICIPATE VAST AREAS OF MODERATE RAIN WITH MOST REGIONS
EXPERIENCING IFR CONDITIONS WITH POCKETS OF LIFR WITH THE
PRCIPITATION...LOW CLOUDS AND FOG. THIS WILL BE THE SCENARIO
THROUGH MOST OF TUESDAY. THERE MAY BE SOME IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR
ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON.

THIS UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN SHOULD HOLD THROUGH TUE NIGHT/WED AND
POSSIBLY INTO EARLY THURSDAY...AS THE UPPER SYSTEM STAYS SITUATED
ACROSS THE REGION.

BESIDES THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT...THERE IS AN ISOLATED RISK FOR
SEVERE TSRA MAINLY SOUTH OF THE VA/NC BORDER TUESDAY. SO WILL HAVE
TO WATCH FOR TURBULENCE ISSUES AND WIND SHEAR.

STILL THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE CIGS FLUCTUATING FROM SUB 1KFT TO ABOVE
1KFT DURING PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVIER RAINS INTO TUESDAY. AS IS
USUALLY THE CASE...CIGS TEND TO INCREASE WITH HEAVIER RAINS AND
MIXING...ALTHOUGH FOR MOST OF THE TIME WILL KEEP CIGS AT OR BELOW
1KFT AT ALL TAF SITES.

CONFIDENCE IS THIS SCENARIO IS HIGH.

THIS CONDITIONS COULD POSSIBLY LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY
DEPENDING ON THE EVENTUAL MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEMS AND EXTENT OF
COOL AIR WEDGING THAT OCCURS IN THE FORECAST AREA BEHIND THE COOL
FRONT BEFORE THE TROPICAL SYSTEM AND SLOWLY MOVING CLOSED UPPER
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FINALLY CLEAR THE AREA.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
AS OF 400 PM EDT MONDAY...

EXCESSIVE RAINFALL EXPECTED TONIGHT AND TUESDAY AS REMNANTS OF LEE
INTERACT WITH FRONTAL ZONE. HPC FORECASTING IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES
ACROSS THE SRN APPS. AREAS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE HAVE HAD SOME
POCKETS OF HEAVIER RAINS OVER THE PAST 3 DAYS AND THIS MAY PUSH
LOCAL MOUNTAIN STREAMS INTO FLOOD QUICKER THAN STREAMS EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE. ATTM...FORECASTING RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES
WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN THE NC MTNS/FOOTHILLS AND LESS AS YOU HEAD
NE INTO THE PIEDMONT EAST OF LYH/DAN. 3 HR FFG VALUES ARE RUNNING
UNDER 2.5 INCHES ACROSS THE NEW RIVER VALLEY INTO SE WV AND FAR SW
VA. THIS SETUP MAY BE A TWO FOLD PROBLEM WITH FLASH FLOODING
POSSIBLE IN ANY HIGHER CONVECTIVE BANDS THAT FORM...THEN JUST THE
SHEAR AMOUNT OF RAIN OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS COULD LEAD TO MAIN
STEM FLOODING ALONG LARGER CREEKS AND INTO THE RIVERS.
