AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
348 PM EDT FRI APR 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COOL FRONT HAS STALLED OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...AND
WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. WEAK UPPER
LEVEL IMPULSES WILL TRACK ALONG THE FRONT THIS EVENING AND AGAIN
SATURDAY BRINGING ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO PARTS OF
THE REGION. THE FRONT WILL LIFT BACK NORTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY
AHEAD OF ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT THAT WILL IMPACT THE REGION
LATE MONDAY WITH MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA GOT INTO THE STABLE AIRMASS...BUT THERE
ARE ALREADY BREAKS OF SUN IN THE FAR SWRN VA MTNS AND SE WV...SO
WRN FRINGES SHOULD DE-STABILIZE FAIRLY QUICKLY WITH A SURGE OF MID
TO UPPER 50S SFC DEWPOINTS INTO THE WRN SLOPES OF THE APPLNS. A
FAIRLY STRONG SHORT WAVE AND JET STREAK MOVG THRU THE OHIO VALLEY
WILL PASS ACROSS THE CENTRAL APPLNS THIS EVENING. THE AIRMASS
ACROSS KY AND TN HAS BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH SFC BASED
CAPE 1500 TO 2000 J/KG. A LINE OF STORMS IS ALREADY DEVELOPING
FROM NEAR HTS...SWWD INTO NERN KY. BELIEVE THAT THIS LINE WILL BE
MOVG TO THE SOUTHEAST...AND IMPACT WRN SECTIONS OF THE CWA. I HAVE
TSTMS IN THE FORECAST IN THE WRN PORTIONS OF THE CWA...AND HAVE ADDED
IN GUSTY WINDS AT THIS POINT. FAR WRN SECTIONS CONTINUE TO BE
OUTLOOKED FOR A SLIGHT RISK OF SVR TSTMS...GENERALLY NEAR AND TO
THE WEST OF INTERSTATE 77...EXCEPT FOR MOST OF SE WV. THINK THAT
ANY LINES OF STORMS THAT MOVE IN THIS EVENING WILL WEAKEN AS THEY
MOVE INTO THE STABLE WEDGE. ONCE THE SHORT WAVE PASSES...THE WEDGE
REALLY GETS LOCKED IN AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS TO THE NORTHEAST
AND EAST WITH A WEAK SFC LOW THAT DEVELOPS UNDER THE SHORT WAVE.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE ON THE MILD SIDE WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS.

FOR SATURDAY STRONG WEDGE WILL BE IN PLACE TO START THE DAY. I
HAVE GONE VERY CLOSE TO THE COLDER MET GUIDANCE FOR HIGH
TEMPS...ESPECIALLY IN THE SW VA PIEDMONT WHERE THE WEDGE MAY HOLD
ALL DAY LONG. I BRING SCT TSTMS INTO THE FAR WEST IN THE
AFTERNOON- LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER SHORT WAVE MAY HELP ORGANIZE STORMS
AGAIN SAT AFTERNOON...BUT THE MOST UNSTABLE AIRMASS SHOULD BE WEST
AND SOUTH OF THE CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
WHATEVER SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP ACROSS
MAINLY THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA IN THE MORE UNSTABLE
AIR...SHOULD BE TAPERING OFF SATURDAY NIGHT BUT STILL HAVE CHANCE
POPS INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AS THE ACTIVITY ALONG THE WEAK SW-NE
BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA SHOULD DIMINISH. EXPECT SUBSTANTIAL WARMING
ON SUNDAY AS WEAK SURFACE HIGH OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST AND DEEPENING
CENTRAL U.S. TROUGH COMBINE TO BRING STRONGER SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS
THE AREA. THIS SHOULD SCOUR OUT THE REMAINING WEDGE EVEN ACROSS THE
NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA AS H85 TEMPS JUMP INTO THE
+12 TO +16 RANGE. GUIDANCE AND THICKNESS TOOLS YIELDING HIGHS INTO
THE LOW 80S ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH FULL SUN. EVEN IF
CLOUDS BREAK UP A LITTLE LATER TO THE NORTHEAST SHOULD SEE A RAPID
WARMUP WITH DAYTIME MIXING. MILD OVERNIGHT SUNDAY WITH INCREASING
SOUTH FLOW AND TEMPS MAINLY 50S TO LOW 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
FAIRLY ACTIVE SPRINGTIME PATTERN TO CONTINUE NEXT WEEK. FIRST SYSTEM
COMES OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND TRACKS TOWARD THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL LIKELY BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF
SEVERE WEATHER AHEAD AND ALONG OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WELL TO OUR
WEST ACROSS THE CENTRAL OR NORTHERN PLAINS/MIDWEST SUNDAY. SPC
ALREADY HAS A MODERATE RISK FOR DAY 3 IN THIS AREA..AN INDICATION OF
THE STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM. COLD FRONT APPROACHES SOUTHERN
APPALACHIAN REGION LATER MONDAY ALTHOUGH CURRENT MODEL CONSENSUS
TIMING FOR THIS FROPA IS MAINLY OVERNIGHT MONDAY WHICH WOULD LESSEN
CHANCES FOR SEVERE...BUT 6 TO 12 HOURS EARLIER AND CHANCES FOR
SIGNIFICANT STORMS ACROSS OUR AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON INCREASES
CONSIDERABLY. STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON MONDAY
WILL BRING VERY WARM TEMPS WITH MEX GUIDANCE SOME 15 TO 20 DEGREES
ABV NORMAL..COMPROMISED WITH SOMEWHAT LOWER MET/MEH GUIDANCE GIVING
STILL MID-80S EAST AND NEAR 80 WEST.

AFTER FRONT PASSES EARLY TUESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE FROM
THROUGH FRIDAY WITH TEMPERATURES RUNNING A FEW DEGREES ABV CLIMO FOR
MID-APRIL..GENERALLY UPPER 60S WEST TO LOW 70S EAST. NEXT FRONT REACHES
THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEKEND AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO GREAT LAKES. FOLLOWING HPC IN THE GRIDS
TO KEEP THAT FROPA JUST BEYOND THE END OF THIS FORECAST CYCLE.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT HAS MOVED FAR ENOUGH SOUTH AND WEST TO PUT ALL
OF THE BLACKSBURG CWA AIRPORTS IN A COOLER MORE STABLE
AIRMASS. CIGS FOR THE MOST PART ARE VFR AND WILL REMAIN THAT WAY
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS
DEVELOPING IN THE TENNESSEE AND LOWER OHIO VALLEYS...AND SCATTERED
TO NUMEROUS TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON IN
RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE...AND MOVE TOWARD THE CWA
FROM THE NORTHWEST AND WEST. BLUEFIELD AND LEWISBURG ARE ON THE
EDGES OF THE STABLE AIRMASS...AND MAY EXPERIENCE STRONGER TSTMS BY
EARLY THIS EVENING. I HAVE INCLUDED VCNTY TSTMS IN THEIR TAFS FOR
3 HOUR PERIOD. REST OF THE SITES ARE LIKELY TO SEE SOME SHOWERS
WHICH WILL BE REMNANTS OF THE TSTMS PASSING THROUGH. LATE TONIGHT
IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE...LOW MVFR TO IFR CIGS
AND VSBYS ARE LIKELY ALL SITES...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE WHERE A LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP. ONCE THE
LOWER CIGS AND VSBY GET LOCKED IN...THEY WILL BE VERY SLOW TO LIFT
ON SATURDAY.

THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR SCT TSTMS AGAIN ALONG WHAT REMAINS
OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THIS
WILL BE IN THE WRN MTNS FOR THE MOST PART...AND MAY AFFECT
BLUEFIELD...BLACKSBURG AND LEWISBURG. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
THE REGION LATE MONDAY...BRINGING A CHC OF LATE DAY TSTMS TO ALL
AREAS. VFR THEN RETURNS ACROSS THE EAST BEHIND THE FRONT TUESDAY
WITH UPSLOPE MVFR CIGS AND A FEW -SHRA OVER SE WVA.
