AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
143 PM EDT MON JUL 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
EXPECT MORE SCATTERED STRONG STORMS ON THE 4TH OF JULY ALONG A
WEAKENING COLD FRONT WHICH WILL TRY TO CROSS THE AREA DURING THE
DAY BEFORE STALLING OVER NORTH CAROLINA BY TUESDAY. THIS WILL
RESULT IN CONTINUED CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS FROM THE FOURTH
OF JULY INTO MIDWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AFTERNOON UPDATE REFLECTS ADDITION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
594 THAT IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 800 PM EDT. HAVE ALSO MADE TWEAKS TO
WEATHER AND POP GRID TO BETTER REFLECT LATEST EXPECTED TIMING OF
PRECIPITATION INTO AND THROUGH THE REGION. THIS ADJUSTMENT SLOWS
THE ACTIVITY BY ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO.
FINALLY...TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST...ARE TRENDING
WARMER THAN FORECAST...SO HAVE MADE ADJUSTMENTS IN THE HOURLY
TEMPERATURE TREND AND OVERALL ANTICIPATED HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR THE
DAY.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MOST AREAS TO REMAIN DRY UNTIL DAYTIME HEATING KICKS OFF
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA/TSRA FOR THE AFTERNOON. WITH FRONTAL
BOUNDARY CLOSER TO US TODAY...THINK SHRA COVERAGE WILL BE MUCH
GREATER WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA THIS AFTERNOON...
LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE MTNS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...THEN SPREADING
EAST ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT DURING THE MID/LATE
AFTERNOON. CAPES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 2000-3000 J/KG SHOULD
SUSTAIN HEALTHY UPDRAFTS WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS DURING
THE PEAK HEATING PART OF THE DAY. LOTS OF OUTDOOR EVENTS GOING ON
TODAY...AND LIGHTNING POTENTIAL LOOKS HIGH...THUS THINK WE NEED TO
BEAT OUR TOM TOMS A LITTLE HARDER FOR LIGHTNING SAFETY TODAY.

HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE SIMILAR TO SUNDAY WITH 80S TO LOW
90S LIKELY...AND FEELING MUGGY DUE TO THE HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT
OF THE AIRMASS.

POTENTIAL FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS TODAY MAY HINDER SET-UP FOR THE
EVENING FIREWORKS SHOWS. IF THE FOLKS SETTING UP FOR THESE EVENTS
CAN WORK AROUND THE NUISANCE DAYTIME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...THINK
THE LATE EVENING WILL PAN OUT OK. IF STORMS DEVELOP AS FORECAST
OVER THE MTNS DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON AND MOVE EAST ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...THEN MOST
OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE SOUTHEAST OF THE FCST AREA BY SHOW TIME.
UNLESS SOMETHING DEVELOPS UPSTREAM OVER THE OHIO VALLEY...ANTICIPATE
THAT MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE OVER WITH BY
9PM.

WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE THREAT FOR SHRA/TSRA FOR THE
OVERNIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY LINGERING POCKETS OF
INSTABILITY...TEMPS MOST AREAS SLIPPING INTO THE 60S. PATCHY FOG
A GREATER POSSIBILITY LATE TONIGHT PER NEW MOISTURE FROM THE
DAYTIME SHOWERS...LINGERING CLOUD COVER TONIGHT ULTIMATELY THE
DECIDING FACTOR ON HOW WELL WE RADIATE AND ULTIMATELY DICTATING
OVERALL FOG COVERAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO STALL JUST SOUTH OF THE VA/NC
BORDER ON TUESDAY. MODELS TRACKING A SURFACE REFLECTION ALONG THE
BOUNDARY AND ACROSS NC DURING THE MORNING. THIS REFLECTION WILL BRING
AN EARLY MORNING CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO RNK SOUTHERN TIER COUNTIES.
THIS SYSTEM WILL EXIT THE PIEDMONT BY EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE WILL TRACK OVER
THE REGION. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH INSTABILITIES IS AVAILABLE IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THIS SHORT WAVE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING
SOME STRONG STORMS TO THE AREA. THESE STORMS WILL EXIT THE AREA
OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ON
WEDNESDAY AS MORE ENERGY TRACKS ALONG THE STALLED BOUNDARY. FOR BOTH
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...HAVE THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH AND
ALONG THE VA/NC BORDER. FORECAST POPS MAY BE IN A STATE OF
FLUCTUATION AND IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WHERE THE ACTUAL BOUNDARY
RESIDES EACH DAY. FOR THIS REASON WILL KEEP POPS AT A CHANCE.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE FALLING BACK TO NEAR NORMAL AS SHOWER
ACTIVITY INCREASES DURING THE PERIOD. WITH SEVERAL MODELS BRINGING
WIDE SPREAD SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY...LOWERED TEMPERATURES
BELOW NORMAL BY A FEW DEGREES.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY INCREASES ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES EASTWARD AND ANOTHER COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. WITH THE ADDED INSTABILITY OF THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT...MAY SEE A FEW OF THESE STORMS BECOME STRONG
TO SEVERE...ALTHOUGH THE THREAT DOES NOT SEEM PARTICULARLY HIGH AT
THIS TIME. INCREASED CLOUD COVER ON THURSDAY WILL HELP LIMIT
AFTERNOON HEATING SOMEWHAT...AND WILL BE EXPECTING AFTERNOON HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE LOW TO MID 80S WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND IN THE
UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S TO THE EAST.

FORECAST MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT THE COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHWARD AS IT ENTERS OUR REGION ON FRIDAY...AND BECOME
NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA. WITH HIGH PRESSURE SLIDING
EASTWARD ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION...WILL STILL KEEP A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST EACH DAY THROUGH
NEXT WEEKEND...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENING...WITH
INCREASINGLY HIGHER CHANCES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. HIGH TEMPERATURES
EACH DAY WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE LOWER 80S IN THE WEST...TO
THE MID 80S TO NEAR 90 IN THE EAST. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM
THE LOWER 60S WEST TO THE UPPER 60S EAST.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE MORE
WIDESPREAD AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. A COMBINATION OF DAYTIME
HEATING AND AN APPROACH SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS HELPING TO CREATE THIS
ACTIVITY. ANTICIPATE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH ISOLATED AND
TEMPORARY IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS AS THE STRONGER CELLS PASS OVER A
GIVEN AREA. ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO WANE AND DECREASE IN COVERAGE
FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER ROUGHLY 00Z...800 PM AS WE LOSE THE
HEATING OF THE DAY AND THE TROUGH AXIS PASSES OUT OF THE AREA. A
SURFACE FRONT WILL BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE REGION
THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY. AFTER SOME LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING
PATCHY MVFR CONDITIONS FOR LIGHT FOG AND CLOUDS...LOOK FOR
INSTABILITY INCREASE AGAIN ON TUESDAY WITH SOME ISOLATED SHRA/TRSA
DEVELOPING BY 16Z...NOON.

ANTICIPATE DAILY CHANCES OF SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA THROUGH SATURDAY AS
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS OVER OR NEAR THE AREA. LATE NIGHT AND
EARLY MORNING PATCHY FOG AND MVFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS
RESIDUAL MOISTURE FROM THE PREVIOUS DAYS CONVECTION CONDENSES
UNDER THE NOCTURNAL INVERSION.
