AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
332 AM EDT SAT OCT 29 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
EARLY SEASON WINTER STORM WILL CRANK UP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
TODAY AND THEN EXIT QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST THIS EVENING. AREA OF
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SUNDAY AND KEEPS THE AREA MAINLY DRY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 307 AM EDT SATURDAY...

GOING WINTER STORM WARNINGS/ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN ALTHOUGH NOT
ALL THAT CONFIDENT THAT THE NEW RIVER VALLEY WILL SEE TOO MUCH
SNOW. AS THE SHORTWAVE NOW OVER THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY SHIFTS INTO
NE TN TOWARD DAWN...THE COLUMN WILL COOL AND PRECIP WILL CHANGE TO
ALL SNOW OVER THE MTNS AND FOR PORTIONS OF THE FOOTHILLS AND NEW
RIVER VALLEY AS WELL. STILL LOOKS LIKE 4+ INCHES ARE A GOOD BET IN
THE HIGHER TERRAIN ACROSS BATH...GREENBRIER AND AMHERST COUNTY AS
THE BEST JET DYNAMICS WILL INTERACT WITH THE SE FLOW...WHILE THE
LOW OFF THE COAST OF NC DEEPENS AND MOVES NNE TODAY. UNTIL THEN
SOME POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN EXIST WITH A DEEP WARM NOSE OFF THE
06Z RNK SOUNDING.

AS THE LOW MOVES OFF THE COAST OF DELAWARE/NJ BY MIDDAY THE FLOW
TURNS NW AND WILL SEE A QUICK SHUT OFF OF THE PRECIP...WITH
LINGERING RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS IN THE NRN CWA. SKIES WILL CLEAR AND
THE COLD AIR ADVECTION IS STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP TEMPS DOWN IN THE
MTNS WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 30S/LOWER 40S...BUT EXPECT MORE
SUN SO NOT AS CHILLY AND DAMP AS FRIDAY.

THE DOWNSLOPE WILL HELP BOOST TEMPS INTO THE LOWER 50S OUT EAST.

WINDS WILL BE ANOTHER ISSUE AS THE 8H JET OF 45+ KNOTS SKIRTS
ACROSS THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY THIS AFTN. WITH THE SFC HIGH
BUILDING IN FROM THE SW...HAVE TEMPERED BACK WINDS SOME AS THIS
PATTERN USUALLY DOESNT BRING US A EXTENDED PERIOD OF HIGH
WINDS...BUT STILL EXPECT A QUICK SURGE DURING THE AFTN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT FRIDAY...

LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENING RAPIDLY OFF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST
WILL DRIVE NEAR ADVISORY CRITERIA WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE COUNTIES
WHICH STAND TO ACCUMULATE THE MOST SNOW TONIGHT. NOT SURE HOW MUCH
FOLIAGE IS LEFT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SHENANDOAH AND GREENBRIER CO
WEST VIRGINIA...BUT IF SNOW AND LEAVES ARE STILL ON THE TREES THEY
WILL BE EASILY TOPPLED BY THESE GUSTS...WHICH COULD MEAN POWER
OUTAGES. A WIND ADVISORY MIGHT BE A REQUIREMENT EVEN IF GUSTS
DON'T REACH CRITERIA BASED UPON THIS THREAT ALONE. ALSO...NW NC
COULD GUST TO AROUND 40 MPH DURING SATURDAY EVENING. FOR
NOW...WILL HIGHLIGHT IN THE HWO. ALSO WILL MENTION OPPORTUNITY FOR
FREEZING TEMPS ACROSS THE SOUTHSIDE AND PIEDMONT. WILL NOT ISSUE A
FREEZE WATCH AS MULTIPLE HEADLINES MAY BE TOO CONFUSING...BUT ITS
MERITED FOR ALL OF THE REMAINING COUNTIES OF THE CWA...MAYBE ALSO
SUNDAY NIGHT TOO. PRETTY MUCH SHOULD BRING AN END TO THE GROWING
SEASON OVER THE ENTIRE CWA. HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE SNOWSTORM
BUILDS OVER US FOR SUNDAY...BEFORE EVENTUALLY TAKING A WEDGE
POSITION OVER NEW ENGLAND BY MONDAY. ALTHOUGH THE WEDGE STARTS OUT
DRY...A STRONG SHRTWV GETTING PULLED INTO ANOTHER COASTAL
LOW...ATTM WHICH LOOKS TO TAKE A FURTHER EASTERLY TRACK...MAY
PROVIDE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS AND MOUNTAINS
FLURRIES LATER MONDAY OR MONDAY NIGHT. MAX TEMPS WILL BE SIMILAR
SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT FRIDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL HANG ALONG THE NEW ENGLAND AND MIDDLE ATLANTIC
COAST THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST. THIS WILL DEFLECT MUCH OF THE
WARMER H85 VALUES AND WEAK FRONTS TO OUR NORTH AND WEST...KEEPING
TEMPS RATHER SIMILAR AND KEEPING THE REGION MOSTLY DRY. THE NEW
ECMWF HAS AN ANOMALOUS CLOSED LOW TRAVELING WEST TO EAST OVER THE
REGION BY THE END OF THE WEEK...WHEREAS THE OP GFS GIVES A MORE
REASONABLE NORTHERLY TRACK AND FRONTAL PASSAGE. NONETHELESS EXPECT
MORE RAIN BY FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 123 AM EDT SATURDAY...

TERMINALS WILL BE SEEING LOW CIGS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING WITH
MAINLY RAIN AT DAN/LYH...WHILE THERE MAY BE A MIX OF SNOW IN AT
ROANOKE AROUND 10Z. THE COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL MAKE PTYPE
TRANSITION TO SN BETWEEN 08Z AND 12Z...THEN MAYBE BACK TO RAIN AT
BCB B4 ENDING AT 13-15Z.

UNTIL THE LOW OFF THE COAST STRENGTHENS...THE NE FLOW AND WEDGE
KEEPS CIGS AT OR BELOW 1KFT EXCEPT AT ROA.

AFTER THE WINDS BACK AROUND TO THE NW WILL SEE RAPID IMPROVEMENT
IN CIGS EAST OF THE MTNS WITH VFR RETURNING BETWEEN 14-16Z. THIS
WILL BE THE CASE FOR THE MTNS AFTER 17Z...WITH LWB LAGGING UNTIL EVENING.

MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST SOME INCREASE IN LOW LVL MOISTURE THIS
EVENING AT BLF/LWB BUT NOT SUBSTANTIAL GIVEN THE DRYING ALOFT.

THE WINDS WILL BE A FACTOR AS WELL...AS THE WNW GRADIENT INCREASES
SAT LOOK FOR WIND GUSTS TO BE IN THE 20-30 KNOT RANGE IN THE MTNS
AND JUST LEE. WINDS SHOULD TAPER OFF IN THE SAT EVENING AS HIGH
PRESSURE NOSES IN FROM THE TN VALLEY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE VFR CONDITIONS FROM SUNDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.
