AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
108 PM EDT WED MAY 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TONIGHT. THIS
HIGH WILL MOVE OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST LATE THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SATELLITE IMAGING SHOWING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS BECOMING A CLOSED
LOW. THIS FEATURE IS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY TRACKING TO THE SOUTHEAST.
SHORT WAVES ROTATING AROUND THIS LOW AND AFTERNOON ISOLATION WILL
TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE WEST.
ALSO AHEAD OF THE LOW...FLOW IS SOUTHWESTERLY ADDING IN LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE FOR STORM IGNITION. MORNING SHOWERS AROUND THIS LOW WERE PRIMARILY
ACROSS THE NORTHERN FRINGE. THERE IS A WEAK REFLECTIVITY LINE ON
THE EASTERN SIDE THAT WILL DEVELOP CONVECTION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
FROM BLUEFIELD TO LEWISBURG. SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL THEN SPREAD
TO THE BLUE RIDGE THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. THE STRONGER
SHORT WAVE...CURRENT ON THE WESTERN SIDE IN THE OHIO VALLEY...IS
EXPECTED TO DIVE DOWN INTO THE CAROLINAS. WITH ENOUGH SUN UNDER
COLD POOL AND MOISTURE FEED INTO THE AREA...ISOLATED CONVECTION IS
ALSO POSSIBLE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING.

INCREASING CLOUD COVER OVER THE AREA HAS LIKELY LEVEL OFF
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON SHOULD NOT RISE MUCH MORE.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...WESTERN EDGE OF THE SHOWERS WAS
ACCELERATING EAST. HAVE UPDATED TO END THE SHOWERS FASTER IN THE
EASTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA.

THE WATER VAPOR SATELLITE LOOP SHOWED THE UPPER LOW
OVER MICHIGAN WITH ANOTHER WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVE MOVING INTO
INDIANA. A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAD DEVELOP OVERNIGHT
WITH THE SECOND SHORT WAVE.

SHOWERS WILL MOVE EAST THIS MORNING WITH THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE
LARGE BAND OF SHOWERS REACHING THE EXTREME EASTERN COUNTY WARNING
AREA AROUND 14Z/10AM. JUST AS THESE SHOWERS ARE EXITING THE
FORECAST AREA THE SHOWERS WITH THE INDIANA SHORT WAVE WILL BE
MOVING INTO THE WEST. PLENTY OF LIFT WITH THIS FEATURE AS COLD AIR
ALOFT MOVES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. MODELS WERE ALSO SHOWING
RELATIVELY LOWER LIFTED INDEX VALUES AND A LAYER OF INSTABILITY
AND MOISTURE THROUGH 700MB. HRRR IS TAKING THE SHOWERS ALL THE WAY
THROUGH THE EASTERN COUNTY WARNING AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE THE
LOCAL WRF HOLDS MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.
850MB WINDS WILL BE FROM THE NORTHWEST AT 20 TO 30KTS TODAY SO
THERE WILL BE SOME DOWNSLOPING TO HELP SUPPRESS THE SHOWERS EAST
OF THE BLUE RIDGE. HAVE CUT BACK PROBABILITY OF RAIN IN THE EAST
BUT HAVE KEPT IN ISOLATED SHOWERS. WITH LOSS OF HEATING MOST OF
THE SHOWERS WILL DISSIPATE BUT HAVE KEPT A LOW CHANCE IN THE
NORTHWEST UNTIL THE TROF CROSSES EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING.

AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY AND WILL BE CENTERED OVER KENTUCKY THURSDAY MORNING.
WESTERN VALLEYS MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE HIGH TO DECOUPLE AND
SHOULD HAVE LIGHT ENOUGH WINDS LATE TONIGHT TO ALLOW FROST TO FORM
WHERE IT IS COLD ENOUGH. EXPECTED RIDGES TO STAY MIXED ENOUGH IN
THE SOUTHWEST THAT FROST WILL NOT FORM. HAVE EXPANDED FROST
ADVISORY TO INCLUDE TAZEWELL...MERCER AND SMYTH COUNTIES BASED ON
THE LOCATION OF THE FROST IN THE WEATHER GRIDS.

FOR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY LAV GUIDANCE CAME IN WELL BELOW THE
MAV AND MET NUMBERS. FORECAST WAS ALREADY ON THE COOL SIDE AND
WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES IN THE ZERO TO +4 RANGE...ANY LOCATIONS
THAT STAY CLOUDY WILL ALSO BE UNSEASONABLY COOL TODAY...ABOUT 15
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. THE COOLER TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TONIGHT
WITH THE SHELTERED VALLEYS IN THE WEST DROPPING WELL INTO THE 30S.
MODELS LOWERED SURFACE DEW POINTS ACROSS GREENBRIER COUNTY INTO
THE UPPER 20S BY MORNING SO HAVE LEFT THE FREEZE WATCH AS IS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL OF OUR REGION ON THURSDAY...WITH
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS CONTINUING TO BRING DRIER AIR INTO THE AREA.
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE REGION WILL ALLOW THE UNSEASONABLY
COOL EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND QUICKLY...WITH AFTERNOON
HIGHS RANGING FROM NEAR 70 DEGREES ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA
PIEDMONT...TO AROUND 60 ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA
AND THE MOUNTAIN EMPIRE REGION.

EARLY FRIDAY MORNING TEMPERATURES...ALTHOUGH STILL ON THE COOL
SIDE...WILL BE NOTICEABLY WARMER THAN THURSDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES TO
THE SOUTHEAST...AND CLOUD COVER WILL INCREASE AS ANOTHER WEAK COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION. THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER WILL HELP
INSULATE OUR TEMPERATURES...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS RANGING FROM THE MID
40S IN THE EAST...TO THE UPPER 30S WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. THAT
SAID...DO NOT FORESEE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT OF FROST. SCATTERED
SHOWER AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN MAKING ITS WAY
INTO THE REGION DURING LATE MORNING...WITH THE WEAK COLD FRONT MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA DURING EARLY EVENING. SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH
DURING THE LATE EVENING AS DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA...AND HIGH
PRESSURE TO OUR SOUTH REESTABLISHES ITSELF AS THE DOMINANT FEATURE
ACROSS OUR AREA.

EXPECT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO INCREASE ONCE AGAIN ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
APPROACHES THE REGION. WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW BECOMING ESTABLISHED AND
ONLY SCATTERED CLOUD COVER DURING THE MORNING...HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 70S ACROSS THE PIEDMONT REGION...TO THE
UPPER 60S WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. LOW TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT HEADING INTO SUNDAY MORNING WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S TO
THE LOWER 50S AREAWIDE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE SUNDAY...MONDAY...AND TUESDAY WITH
FRONTS/SHORT WAVES MOVING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. MODELS ARE
HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME WITH CONSISTENCY WITH EACH WEATHER SYSTEM.
FOR NOW...WILL KEEP POPS AT A CHANCE WITH TIMING DURING PEAK
HEATING. CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL KEEP AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SEASONAL
WHILE OVERNIGHTS ARE MUGGY AND ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CEILINGS HAVE LIFTED TO VFR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS DRIER AIR GET
FORCED DOWN THE LEE SIDE OF THE APPALACHIANS. SOME MOISTURE
BANKING UP ON WESTERN SLOPES KEEPING CEILING A LITTLE LOWER THAN
THE EAST BUT STILL VFR. SHOWERS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO AND ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN WEST VIRGINIA THIS AFTERNOON...THEN TO THE BLUE RIDGE
BY MID AFTERNOON. ISOLATED CONVECTION ALSO POSSIBLE EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE WITH SURFACE HEATING OCCURRING UNDER COOL POOL ALOFT.
AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS RESEMBLING A SHOTGUN PATTERN FROM
BLF-BCB-ROA-LYH SOUTH. MORE COVERAGE EXPECTED NORTH OF THIS LINE TO
LWB-HSP. LOW-END MVFR CEILING AND VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE WITH
SHOWERS AT BLF-LWB THIS AFTERNOON.

ARRIVAL OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD SUPPORT RETURN TO VFR
WEATHER AND LIGHTER WINDS AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THURSDAY. THE NEXT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING NEXT WEEK.
