Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 5:00 PM EDT, 35 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA 500 PM EDT SUN JUN 12 2011 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH OUR REGION THIS EVENING... TRIGGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH...WE CAN EXPECT COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORKWEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS BASED ON LATEST RADAR/MESOANALYSIS TRENDS AND HRRR MODEL. WILL SEE HIGHEST POPS ALONG AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 460 THROUGH 00Z...WITH DRIER AIR WORKING IN FROM THE NW BY THIS EVENING. SVR TSTM WATCH 467 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM. PREVIOUS VALID DISCUSSION... THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE FOUND TO THE EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...WHERE THE GREATEST ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY IS LOCATED. MANY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SOMEWHAT COMPACT...MEANING THAT RAINFALL IN MANY AREAS WILL BE HIT AND MISS. WHERE STORMS DO OCCUR...RAINFALL MAY BE VERY HEAVY...WITH AN INCH OR MORE ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. THESE STORMS ARE FIRING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...WHICH WILL BE ENTERING OUR REGION LATER THIS EVENING. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT...WE CAN EXPECT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH AS WINDS SHIFT FROM THE NORTHWEST AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN. THE LIGHT DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL ALLOW SKIES ACROSS OUR REGION TO CLEAR...ALTHOUGH VALLEY FOG WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE. ONCE THE FOG BURNS OFF BY MID MORNING...WE CAN EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND COOL CONDITIONS...WITH MONDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS RANGING FROM THE LOW 70S IN SOUTHEAST WEST VIRGINIA...TO THE MID 80S ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA PIEDMONT. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... FORECAST AREA STILL IN A DRIER AIRMASS ON MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. HOWEVER...DEEP MOISTURE DOES NOT GET VERY FAR AWAY FROM THE AREA AND STARTS SEEPING BACK IN BY TUESDAY NIGHT. THE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES WITH A CLOSED UPPER LOWS OFF EACH COAST. MODELS DIFFER AT LOW LEVELS WITH THE ECMWF TRACKING A LOW THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AND THE SREF AND GFS BRINGING THE LOW INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ALONG THE FRONT TO THE SOUTH. WILL HAVE INCREASING CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY IN THE SOUTHWEST COUNTIES TO THE LOWEST IN THE NORTHEAST COUNTY WARNING AREA. WILL TREND CLOSER TO THE COOLER MET GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM COMING OUT OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IS FORECAST TO CROSS THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC REGION AND CAROLINAS ON THURSDAY. THIS WOULD BE THE MOST LIKELY PROBABILITY OR RAIN DURING THE EXTENDED TIME FRAME. BY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO BE OFF THE EAST COAST SO THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE LOWER. STAYED CLOSE TO HPC GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION /21Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... KBCB AWOS OBSERVATIONS ARE NOT TRANSMITTING TO AWIPS SYSTEM...BUT INFORMATION CAN BE OBTAINED BY DIALING INTO THE SYSTEM. WILL REGULARLY CALL SYSTEM TO ASSURE THAT CURRENT TERMINAL FORECAST FOR THIS SITE REMAINS REPRESENTATIVE OF LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE REDEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND ARE CURRENTLY IN THE VICINITY OF LWB... BCB...AND BLF. THESE STORMS WILL SPREAD EASTWARD THROUGH THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND SHOULD BE AFFECTING ROA...LYH AND DAN BEFORE OR BY 12/21Z. MANY OF THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE COMPACT IN NATURE... MEANING VERY HIT AND MISS ACTIVITY. EXPECT PERIODS OF VERY HEAVY BY BRIEF DOWNPOURS WHERE THE STORMS DO OCCUR...WHICH WILL DROP VISIBILITIES TO LESS THAN 1SM MILE. ALSO...THE ATMOSPHERE IS FAVORABLE FOR LOCALLY STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL IN AND AROUND THE LARGER THUNDERSTORMS. THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH EAST OF OUR REGION LATE THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. SKIES WILL CLEAR AND WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH WIND SPEEDS EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN 10KT. STILL LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED FOG EARLY MONDAY MORNING...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BURN OFF BY 13/13Z.
