AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
920 AM EST MON FEB 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY AS A STRONG
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. DRIER AND COOLER AIR ARRIVES MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE FRONT.

&&
THIS UPDATE IS BASICALLY TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE TORNADO WATCH
WHICH HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 4 PM EST FOR ALL OF THE COUNTIES IN
VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA WHICH ARE INSIDE THE NWS BLACKSBURG
FORECAST AREA. THE REGULAR LATE MORNING FORECAST UPDATE WILL BE
ISSUED SHORTLY.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ISSUED AT 626 AM...
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SEVERAL PARAMETERS ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST SEVERE
WEATHER EVENT TO OCCUR ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
THIS EVENING. WATER VAPOR SAT PICS AT 08Z (3 AM EST) SHOWS A
STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE ACROSS WESTERN OK WITH WIND
PROFILER PLOTS SHOWING 100+KT WINDS EXTENDING INTO WESTERN IL AND
SOUTHEAST MO AT 250MB.

MODELS AGREE THIS FAST MOVING WAVE ENTERS THE OHIO/TENNESSEE
VALLEYS BY 00Z/TUE AND EXITS THE FORECAST AREA BY 06Z. BY THIS
AFTERNOON THE FORECAST AREA COMES UNDER A BROAD AREA OF UPPER
DIVERGENCE IN LEFT EXIT REGION OF UPPER JET...WHICH SHOULD
PROVIDE PLENTY OF LIFT TO GENERATE LINES OF STORMS ALONG AND AHEAD
OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

SFC OBS SHOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS PUSHING ITS WAY TOWARD THE FORECAST
AREA...WITH SFC DEW POINTS BY AFTERNOON WELL INTO THE 50S AND
LOWER 60S. COMBINE THIS WITH VERY WARM TEMPS...NEAR OR ABV
RECORDS AT BCB/BLF/DAN...AND AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD
RESULT. SPC SREF OUTPUT SHOWS 30-50% CHANCE SFC BASE CAPES EXCEEDING
500 J/KG AND 18Z GFS BUFKIT SOUNDING SHOW CAPES AT ROA ABOVE 500
J/KG.

ANTICIPATE MODE OF STORMS TO BE IN LINES OR BROKEN LINES WITH
DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT. AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE
WITH IMPRESSIVE 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES. HRRR/WRF/GFS ALL IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THE LEADING EDGE OF THESE STORMS ARRIVE IN FAR SOUTHWEST
VA BY 18Z...WITH THE LINE EXITING THE FORECAST AREA BEFORE 03Z.

WILL CONTINUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACROSS THE CURRENT WATCH AREA
WHERE HIGHEST QPF IS FORECAST AND FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE
THE LOWEST. HOWEVER...STORMS SHOULD MOVE RAPIDLY KEEPING THE FLASH
FLOOD THREAT RELATIVELY LOW FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM WILL
STRENGTHEN...AND LATEST KFCX VAD SHOWS WINDS GREATER THAN 50KTS AT
4K FT...BUT MOST GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUST BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA.

ADJUSTED LOW TEMPS DOWN TONIGHT BY SEVERAL DEGREES WITH STRONG CAA
ARRIVING BEHIND THE FRONT...AND UPSLOPE PRECIP ALONG THE WESTERN
SLOPES DIMINISHING.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
DRY HIGH PRESSURE WILL SKIRT ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY THEN DRIFT OFF
THE SOUTHEAST COAST ON WEDNESDAY. A SURFACE LEE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE PIEDMONT ON WEDNESDAY AND ONLY PROVIDE A WEAK RETURN FLOW
TO THE SOUTHWEST. WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. AHEAD OF THIS RIDGE WILL BE A
DRY COLD FRONT THAT WILL CROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MOISTURE
IS VERY LIMITED AND ONLY EXPECT SOME MID CLOUDS TO DEVELOP ALONG
THE FRONT.

24 HOUR TEMPERATURES CHANGE TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE AROUND 20F
WITH HIGH IN THE WEST IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S AND MID 50S IN
THE EAST. 24 HOUR DEW POINT CHANGE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AROUND 40F WITH
READINGS IN THE UPPER TEENS. WITH FUELS BEING SATURATED FROM A WEEK
OF MOISTURE AND WINDS RELAXING IN THE AFTERNOON...NOT FORESEEING ANY
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS MODERATE ON
WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF THE DRY FRONTAL PASSAGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MEAN TROF TAKING SHAPE OVER THE ERN HALF OF THE CONUS.
HOWEVER...THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENCE IN THE MEDIUM MODELS
REGARDING THE EVOLUTION OF TROF. THE GFS AND CMC ARE MORE
PROGRESSIVE SOLUTIONS...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS BEEN CONSISTENT
FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF RUNS WITH THE SLOWER THE TROF CUTOFF LOW.
WILL LEAN TOWARD HPCGUIDE WITH THEIR COMPROMISED NAVY NOGAPS AND
ECMWF ENS MEAN BLEND WHICH IS NOT AS PROGRESSIVE AS THE FASTER RUNS
NOR LEAVING BEHIND AS MUCH ENERGY IN THE BASE OF THE TROF TO DEVELOP
A DEEP SFC LOW ALONG THE GULF COAST AS PER ECMWF.

AS A COOL CANADIAN HIGH TRANSITS FROM THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
TOWARD MAINE THURSDAY...COOLER AIR WILL PUSH DOWN THE EAST COAST.
MOISTURE INCREASES WITH RETURN FLOW AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES EAST
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. ADDED SOME LIGHT RAIN...DRIZZLE AND FOG
ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
KEPT LIGHT POPS IN THE WEST INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS A WARM FRONT
WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY.

A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
INCREASED CHANCES FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY FOR CONVECTION.
CONTINUED CHC POPS ON SUNDAY...THEN TAPER OFF SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY.

IN GENERAL...FOLLOWED HPCGUIDE FOR TEMPERATURES DURING THE MEDIUM
RANGE. ADJUSTED DEW POINT TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND WITH THE
SLOWER SOLUTION OF THE FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WERE OBSERVED AT ALL TAF SITES AT 11Z (6 AM EST).
HOWEVER...A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET HAS DEVELOPED DURING THE PRE-DAWN
HOURS THAT HAS RESULTED IN LLWS FOR ALL TAF SITES EXCEPT KDAN AND
KBLF. THESE WIND SHEAR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST UNTIL DEEPER MIXING
OCCURS BY MID-MORNING.

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD DURING
THE AFTERNOON...WITH PRECIPITATION POTENTIALLY IMPACTING KBLF AND
KLWB PRIOR TO 18Z. THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING STRONG WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 KTS...AND VERY HEAVY
RAIN WHICH WILL TEMPORARILY REDUCE SURFACE VISIBILITIES TO LESS
THAN A HALF MILE. GRADIENT WINDS WILL ALSO BE GUSTY DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS THE LOW PASSES OUR REGION. EXPECT WIND SPEEDS IN THE
12KT TO 18KT RANGE...WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS AS HIGH AS 35KT.

THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION DURING MONDAY EVENING...
BRINGING A NORTHWESTERLY WIND SHIFT. WIND GUSTS WILL REMAIN
STRONG THROUGH LATE MONDAY EVENING. LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF
MVFR CEILINGS LINGERING ACROSS SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA THROUGH
EARLY TUESDAY DUE TO RESIDUAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BEING PUSHED
UPSLOPE...HOWEVER HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD IN THROUGH
EARLY TUESDAY... ALLOWING THESE LOW CLOUDS TO SCATTER. EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH THE END OF THE WORKWEEK THEREAFTER.

&&

.CLIMATE...
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON MONDAY. RECORDS COULD BE
BROKEN OR TIED AT BLUEFIELD (66/1976)...BLACKSBURG (73/1996) AND/OR
DANVILLE (76/1962). ROANOKE AND LYNCHBURG HAVE A LONGER PERIOD OF
RECORD AND ALSO HAVE WARMER EXTREMES. BOTH ROANOKE AND LYNCHBURG HAD
THEIR WARMEST FEB 28TH IN 1918...83F AND 80 RESPECTFULLY.
