AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
615 PM EDT TUE MAY 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT
AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG THE FRONT OVER THE SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS THIS EVENING AND MOVES NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT. MUCH COOLER
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AS OF 600 PM...SFC FRONT EXTENDED FROM THE VA HIGHLANDS VCNTY OF
COVINGTON...TO NEAR PULASKI...THEN INTO NW NC VIA GALAX
VA...BOONE NC LINE. BKN LINE OF SHRA/TSRA WAS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY
WITH A FAIRLY LARGE AREA OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN EXTENDING
WESTWARD BEHIND THE FRONT INTO FAR WESTERN KY AND ERN TN/KY. THE
FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY EAST THIS EVENING...AND WILL
BE VERY NOTICIABLE WHEN IT COMES THROUGH. THE TEMP DROPPED 15
DEGREES IN LESS THAN AN HOUR AT BOTH LWB/BLF WHEN IT PASSED
THROUGH SE WV BETWEEN 4-5 PM.

LOOKING AT WATER VAPOR...AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS DIGGING SEWD
ACROSS MO INTO THE TROUGH AXIS. THE UPPER FLOW IS CURRENTLY
PARALLEL TO THE FRONT...BUT IF SFC WAVE DEVELOPS ALONG THE
FRONT...EXPECT MORE BACKING OF THE WIND AND AN INCREASE IN SURFACE
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT. THIS INCREASE IN SURFACE
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WOULD ENHANCE THE SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY AS IT
MOVES EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. AS SUCH...CANNOT RULE OUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING OR UNTIL THE FRONT
EXITS THE CWA.

WILL CONTINUE TO ENTERTAIN TSTMS IN THE FCST ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...THEN TRANSISTION MORE TOWARDS PLAIN OL SHOWERS OR
LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINS BEHIND THE FRONT. DEPENDING ON HOW FAST
THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE CWA...COULD SEE UPWARDS OF 1.00 TO
1.25 INCHES OF RAIN OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...UNLESS A TSTM COMPLEX
DEVELOPS RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD NOT BE EXCESSIVE...GENERALLY A
HALF TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH ON THE AVERAGE.  THIS SHOULD
NOT CAUSE ANY FLOOD PROBLEMS. WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED IF A TSTM
COMPLEX DOES DEVELOP WITH THE EXPECTED SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT.
COLD AIR SLAMS INTO INTO THE MTNS BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT THE
COLDEST AIR LAGS ENOUGH THAT TEMPS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW
FREEZING BEFORE DAYBREAK WED. IN FACT...LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE A
LITTLE WARMER THAN PREVIOUS.

WED...ONCE THE FRONT MOVES FAR ENOUGH EAST FOR RAIN BEHIND IT TO
CLEAR THE FORECAST AREA- PROBABLY MID MORNING IN THE
PIEDMONT...THERE WILL LIKELY BE A FEW BREAKS OF SUN THAT WILL NOT
LAST LONG AS THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS AND COLD POOL...ALONG WITH A VORT
MAX/SHORT WAVE ENERGY...MOVES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 200
PM AND 800 PM. AGAIN...I TRENDED TOWARD THE NAM SOLUTION...WHICH
SPREAD SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF THE FCST AREA. I HAVE CHC POPS IN THE
AFT FOR MOST AREAS...WITH HIGH CHC IN THE MTNS. CONSIDERED LIKELY
POPS IN THE MTNS...BUT THOUGHT WE COULD WAIT TO GET A BETTER IDEA
WHERE THE VORT MAX MOVES. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE COOL WED...WITH
HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S MTNS...AND UPPER 40S HIGH
ELEVATIONS...AND HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S FOOTHILLS AND
PIEDMONT. THESE HIGHS WILL BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
ANY LEFT-OVER SHOWERS FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL WANE DURING THE EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE OVER THE
REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. CHILLY TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY MORNING WITH FROST POTENTIAL GREATEST ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS
AND INTO THE SOUTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY. MORNING LOWS TO DIP INTO
THE 30S WITH NEAR 40F AT ROANOKE SOUTH INTO SOUTHSIDE VA.

WIDESPREAD FROST AND POSSIBLY A HARD FREEZE ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND
INTO THE SOUTHERN SHENANDOAH VALLEY FOR EARLY THURSDAY MORNING THAT
RNK WILL BE ISSUING A FROST ADVISORY. THE COLDEST AREA WILL BE THE
GREENBRIER VALLEY WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING.
THEREFORE...WILL HAVE ONE COUNTY IN A FREEZE WATCH...GREENBRIER.
ANYONE WITH SENSITIVE VEGETATION SHOULD BEGIN PREPARING FOR A LATE
SPRING FROST/FREEZE.

ABUNDANT SUNSHINE WILL BRING THURSDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS INTO THE 60S.
THESE TEMPERATURES ARE 10-15F BELOW NORMAL. TEMPERATURES WILL
MODERATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY BUT WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. THE
CHANCE FOR RAIN IS LOW FOR THE AREA AS A WEAK FRONT TRACK ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY. CHANCES FOR RAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE BEST ACROSS
THE GREENBRIER VALLEY AND ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS...WHO WILL BE CLOSER
TO THE FRONT. FOR THE REST OF THE AREA...SHOWER CHANCES INCREASE
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY DUE TO DIURNAL HEATING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE TRACKS ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY THEN OFF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST SATURDAY NIGHT. THE CHANCE FOR 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 /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SURFACE FRONT WILL MOVE FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CWA THIS
EVENING. THE FRONT PASSED THROUGH BLF/LWB AROUND 20 UTC...AND
SHOULD REACH ROA AROUND 00 UTC...THEN TO NEAR LYH/DAN BY 02
UTC. ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT EXPECTED A BKN LINE OF SHRA/TSRA
WITH POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS. INDIVIDUAL STORM CELLS ARE
MOVED NNE ALONG THE LINE AT ABOUT 40 KTS. THE ACTUAL SURFACE FRONT
IS MOVING EAST AT ABOUT 15-20 KTS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT CONDITIONS
WILL REMAIN VFR...BUT THEN DETERIORATE RAPIDLY WITH THE PASSAGE OF
SHRA/TSRA THAT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT. MVFR CONDITIONS
WITH CIGS OF 1-2KFT CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
WINDS WILL ALSO SHIFT FROM SOUTH TO WEST NORTH WEST WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS MAY APPROACH 30 KTS.

MODELS SHOW AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BEHIND THE FRONT INTO THE DAY
WEDNESDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. CEILINGS SHOULD LOWER AT
BLF AND LWB TONIGHT...WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE OF IFR CONDITIONS BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING DUE TO CIGS UNDER 1KF. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY
IMPROVE DURING THE DAY...BUT STILL CONFIDENT CLOUDS WITH POTENTIAL
FOR MVFR CIGS WILL PERSIST FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. EAST OF THE
MTNS...NORTHWEST DOWNSLOPE FLOW SHOULD LEAD TO IMPROVING FLIGHT
CONDTIONS WITH INCREASING CLOUD BASES. WINDS WILL BE A BIT GUSTY
VCNTY OF THE MTNS THE ENTIRE DAY.

ARRIVAL OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD SUPPORT RETURN TO VFR
WEATHER AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ON SATURDAY.
