AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1031 AM EDT TUE MAY 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM AND MOIST AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS AS HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. CONTINUES TO
BRING HUMIDITY INTO THE REGION. CHANCES FOR SCATTERED STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE EACH
AFTERNOON AS IMPULSES OF ENERGY EMERGE FROM DEVELOPING LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL
GRADUALLY APPROACH FROM THE WEST BY THE END OF THE WEEK WITH ADDED
ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MORNING UPDATE RELECTS CATEGORICAL POPS AROUND AND DOWNSTREAM OF A
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX CURRENTLY NEAR BLUEFIELD. COORDIATION WITH
SPC YIELDED THE ISSUANCE OF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. REGION OF GREATEST CONCERN THOUGH WILL BE ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION. HAVE REFLECT THE THREAT OF HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS IN THE WEATHER GRIDS. HAVE ALSO MADE MINOR
TWEAKS THE TEMPERATURE...DEW POINT...SKY COVER AND POP/WX GRIDS INTO
THE MID AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSUION...
OVERALL PERSISTENCE FORECAST CONTINUES TODAY WITH
FOCUS FOR CONVECTION MAINLY TIED TO UPSTREAM IMPULSES AND ABILITY
OF INSTABILITY TO OVERCOME BOUNDARY LAYER WESTERLY FLOW. HAVE SEEN
MAJORITY OF TSRA NOW PASS TO THE NW WITH INIT S/W ALONG THE OHIO
RIVER EARLY THIS MORNING. HOWEVER EXPECT MAY SEE A FEW MORE
TRAILING SHRA/-TSRA FORM TOWARD DAYBREAK OVER THE MOUNTAINS UNDER
THIS FEATURE SO LEAVING IN SOME LOW CHANCE POPS FAR WEST EARLY.
NEXT S/W TROF NOW OVER ARKANSAS OF MORE CONCERN LATER TODAY AS IT
SLIDES ENE NEARING THE WEST BY THIS EVENING. MODELS AGAIN
STRUGGLING WITH PLACEMENT OF BETTER LIFT WITH MOST WANTING TO RUN
QPF ACROSS THE FAR NW WITH SOME SPILLOVER INTO THE NORTHERN ZONES
LATE IN THE DAY. HOWEVER LATEST HRRR HAS SOME SHRA/TSRA MOVING
ACROSS THE WEST EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON BEFORE FADING IN
DOWNSLOPE...WHILE THE LOCAL WRF MOST AGGRESSIVE IN LIFTING AN AXIS
OF DEEPER CONVECTION IN FROM THE WEST/SW BY LATE IN THE DAY AS
MIXING RELAXES AND DOWNSLOPE WEAKENS. SINCE NOT CLEAR CUT AGAIN
AND HAVE POTENTIAL FOR DEBRIS CLOUDS TO ALSO CAUSE
HEATING/INSTABILITY TO BE LESS...HAVE CONTINUED HIGHER CHANCES
WEST TODAY AND LIMITED THE SE TO ONLY ISOLATED COVERAGE FOR NOW.
AGAIN DECENT MID LEVEL WESTERLY JET/SHEAR BRINGS THE THREAT FOR
MULTICELL SVR POTENTIAL IF THE NAM CAPES OF 1000+ J/KG ARE
REALIZED SIMILAR TO MONDAY. THUS WILL KEEP SVR MENTION IN THE
HWO...IN LINE WITH THE LATEST SWODY1 WHICH PAINTS MOST OF THE AREA
IN SLIGHT RISK TODAY. DOWNSLOPE AND 85H TEMPS NEARING +19C SOUTH
AGAIN SUPPORT HIGHS CLOSE TO 90 SE IF CAN STAY WITH MORE SUN.
HOWEVER MOS HAS BEEN TOO WARM OF LATE ESPCLY GIVEN DEBRIS CLOUDS
SO STAYED CLOSER TO THE COOLER MET MOS TO SOME DEGREE WHICH KEEPS
THE FAR WEST IN THE 70S WITH 80S ALONG/EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE
UNLESS INSOLATION IS MORE.

VORT DAMPENS AND PASSES TO THE EAST OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE
BACKDOORING COLD FRONT THAT SHOULD BE JUST NORTH OF THE AREA BY
MORNING. AGAIN BEST LIFT FOR TSRA OVER THE WEST PER BETTER LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE AND PERHAPS EAST/SE THIS EVENING WITH THE S/W REMNANT.
IN BETWEEN...LIKELY ISOLATED COVERAGE BLUE RIDGE GIVEN DOWNSLOPE AND
WEAK SUBSIDENCE. HOWEVER IF WESTERN CONVECTION ORGANZES MORE EARLY
ON THEN COULD SEE A CLUSTER OF STORMS MOVE OUT THRU THE BLUE RIDGE
SO SOMETHING TO WATCH. OTRW LOW CHANCE POPS THAT SHOULD DIMINISH
AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOW TEMPS SIMILAR TO THE PAST FEW NIGHTS WITH LOWS
MAINLY IN THE 60S UNDER DEBRIS CLOUDS WITH A FEW 50S IN THE VALLEYS
PENDING DEGREE OF FOG COVERAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE WILL REMAIN OFF THE SOUTHEAST US COAST.
VERY WARM AND UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE ACROSS OUR REGION.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF A STORM
IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS. PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND POTENTIAL INSTABILITY
REMAINS OVER THE AREA WITH FORECAST PWATS OF 1.25 TO 1.50 INCHES
ALONG WITH AFTERNOON HEATING CAPES AROUND 1000 J/KG ON VARIOUS
MODELS. SWODY2 HIGHLIGHTS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WITH MAIN
THREATS LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE NORTH DUE TO TERRAIN FORCING AND
PROXIMITY TO THE BEST FORCING. PLAYED HIGH TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO
ADJMET WITH READINGS FROM AROUND 80 IN THE NORTHWEST TO NEAR 90
DEGREES IN THE SOUTHEAST. QUESTIONS ON WHETHER CONVECTION FORCES
BACKDOOR FRONT SOUTH AND HOW FAR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. WENT WITH MILD LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT FROM AROUND 60 DEGREES
TO THE MID 60S.

LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL PUSH INTO THE OH
VALLEY ON THURSDAY WITH TRAILING FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHING EAST.
AIRMASS ACRS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE AND
FAVORABLE FOR SCATTERED DIURNAL AND MESOSCALE DRIVEN CONVECTION.
STORMS COULD AGAIN BE SEVERE OR HEAVY RAIN MAKERS WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING..ESPECIALLY WITH THE GROUND
VERY WET FROM RECENT RAINS. HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL VARY FROM THE
LOWER 80S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO THE LOWER 90S IN THE PIEDMONT.
SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION WILL RESULT SCATTERED CONVECTION
WITH BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTHWEST. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL
VARY FROM AROUND 60 TO THE MID 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY THE REGION WILL REMAIN IN A VERY PROGRESSIVE
FLOW PATTERN. ANTICIPATE VARIOUS OCCURRENCES OF DISTURBANCES MOVING
THROUGH THE GENERAL SW-W PATTERN INTO OR NEAR THE AREA...IN ADDITION
TO A DIURNAL CONVECTION PATTERN. THE RESULT WILL BE DAILY CHANCES OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH PERIODS OF GREATER COVERAGE IN ASSOCIATION
WITH DISTINCT WAVES. A STRONGER WAVE GOES THROUGH OUR AREA DURING
THE SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME. THIS WAVE ALSO WILL
BRING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER
HIGH PRESSURE ENTERING THE AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BRIEF VSBY REDUCTION IN FOG WILL CONTINUE AT KDAN/KLYH FOR ANOTHER
HOUR OR TWO BEFORE IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS MIX OUT TO VFR UNDER MID
AND HIGH CLOUDS THIS MORNING. ELSW LOOKING AT CONTINUED VFR EARLY
THIS MORNING WITH ONLY A PATCH OR TWO OF FOG AT KLWB.

AXIS OF DEEPER MOISTURE REMAINS TO THE WEST EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH ONE IMPULSE PASSING TO THE NW AND THE NEXT APPROACHING THE TN
VALLEY. THIS HAS CAUSED SHRA/TSRA TO DEVELOP JUST WEST OF THE
MOUNTAINS AND SHOULD SLIDE EAST AND LIKELY AFFECT THE WESTERN TAF
SITES THRU LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE THE SHRA FADES.
THIS NEXT IMPULSE TO THE SW WILL QUICKLY APPROACH FROM THE WEST
BY AFTERNOON SPREADING A CANOPY OF HIGH/MID CLOUDS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA PER BUFKIT RAOBS. THIS IN COMBO WITH LOW LEVEL WESTERLY
FLOW MAY TEND TO HELP REDUCE WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE COVERAGE THIS
AFTERNOON. THEREFORE AT THE PRESENT TIME...FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS TO
ANY PARTICULAR TERMINAL FORECAST POINT DUE TO CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
IS TOO LOW TO WARRANT RESTRICTION TO VISIBILITY OR CEILING INTO
MVFR RANGE...BUT SOME WIDELY SCATTERED/ISOLATED RESTRICTIONS WILL
LIKELY OCCUR IN THE VICINITY OF THE STRONGER
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY AFTER REGENERATION OCCURS BY
LATER THIS AFTERNOON. LATEST LOCAL WRF AND THE HRRR MODELS HOWEVER
SHOW MORE OF A MCS TYPE FEATURE CROSSING FROM THE WEST BETWEEN MID
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SO ADJUSTED TIMING OF THE CB MENTION
IN THE CURRENT FORECAST.

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED FOR THE
REST OF THE WEEK INTO SATURDAY. BROAD SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL RESULT IN DAILY
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS
IN THE MOUNTAINS. THEREFORE...WHILE PREDOMINATELY VFR WEATHER
SHOULD DOMINATE...BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR/LIFR WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH
DAY IN THE VICINITY OF THE STORMS...AS WELL AS AREAS OF LATE
NIGHT/EARLY MORNING MVFR FOG IN THE SHELTERED LOW LYING AREAS OF
THE PIEDMONT AND IN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS.
