Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 1:02 PM EDT, 1 hour 42 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
102 PM EDT TUE JUN 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT BEFORE
EXITING BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND
IT BRINGING A RETURN TO LESS HUMID CONDITIONS UNTIL THE END OF THE
WEEK.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MAIN CONCERN AGAIN WITH CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION AHEAD OF THE
UPSTREAM COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND DEGREE OF SEVERE POTENTIAL
AS STRONG INSTABILITY TAKES SHAPE ESPCLY EAST. LATEST MORNING
MODIFIED RAOBS INDICATE CAPES NEAR 2000 J/KG OVER THE MOUNTAINS
AND 2-3K OUT EAST WHERE TEMPS WILL SURGE INTO AT LEAST THE LOWER
90S. APPEARS PASSAGE OF THE MCS WELL TO THE SW MAY TEND TO SLOW
WESTERN DEVELOPMENT INITIALLY AS RATHER DEEP WESTERLY FLOW
PREVAILS FROM THE BLUE RIDGE WEST ATTM. HOWEVER OLD OUTFLOW ACROSS
THE FAR WEST FROM THE EARLIER SHRA TO THE WEST MAY BE THE TRIGGER
TO GET THINGS GOING ACROSS THE SW MOUNTAINS...WITH THIS COVERAGE
THEN DEVELOPING EAST TO ALONG THE LEE TROF IN THE SOUTH AND EAST
WHERE THE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS MORE SW. WEAK BUT UNIDIRECTIONAL
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT SUPPORTS SOME MULTICLUSTERS WHERE STORMS DO
ORGANIZE WITH HIGH DCAPES DESPITE LESS DRY AIR ALOFT THIS
AFTERNOON. THUS BUMPED UP POPS TO LIKELYS ACROSS PARTS OF THE EAST
IN LINE WITH THE LATEST LOCAL WRF AND THE UPDATED SWODY1 FROM SPC.
THINK THE WESTERLY FLOW MAY TEND TO KEEP THINGS MORE ISOLATED FROM
THE NEW/ROA VALLEYS AND POINTS NORTH SO WENT ON THE LOWER END OF
CHC POPS THERE. BUMPED UP TEMPS A DEGREE OR TWO IN SPOTS GIVEN
MORE SUN EARLY PER VIS PICS AND WEAK DOWNSLOPE ALOFT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
DURING THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
REGION WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ANTICIPATE SOME OF THE
COOLEST LOW TEMPERATURES SO FAR THIS SUMMER. EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING...SOME PORTIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS MAY SEE LOWS AROUND 50
DEGREES...WITH LOWER 50S COMMON FOR MUCH OF THE MOUNTAINS. EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE...UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 DEGREES WILL BE MORE COMMON.
THE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY. WE ARE NOT
EXPECTING ANY PRECIPITATION...AND TEMPERATURES SHOULD SLOWLY
MODERATE EACH DAY AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES INCREASE AND GEOPOTENTIAL
HEIGHTS INCREASE. A VERY ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM MAY OCCUR THURSDAY
AFTERNOON OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA AS SOUTHEAST
FLOW WILL GENERATE SOME MILD UPSLOPE CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...WILL NOT
INCLUDE THIS POTENTIAL IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CLOSED LOW DIVING INTO KSFO AND CLOSED LOW MOVING ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND WILL ALLOW THE UPPER RIDGE TO EXPAND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY.
INITIALLY...LLVL MOISTURE AND DEW POINTS PROBABLY WONT BE SUFFICIENT
FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION. PWATS WILL INCREASE AS A WEAK BOUNDARY
FROM WEST TO EAST DROPS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY LATER SUNDAY...SO THE
END OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK STAND
THE CHANCE FOR WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS...HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS.
SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE THE HOTTEST DAY BUT SUNDAY HAS THE POTENTIAL
TO ALSO BE AROUND 90 TO THE UPPER 90S IF THE OHIO VALLEY BOUNDARY
IS DELAYED.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WELL MIXED WESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO SLOW DOWN CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH MOST SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPING
JUST WEST OF KBLF ALONG OLD OUTFLOW AIDED BY DIFF HEATING. STILL
EXPECTING SOME OF THIS COVERAGE TO GRADUALLY DEVELOP EAST BEFORE
POSSIBLY JUMPING EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WHERE EVENTUALLY SHOULD
SEE A BROKEN LINE DEVELOP. THUS WILL INCLUDE MORE OF A TSRA
MENTION EITHER IN PREVAILING OR TEMPO GROUPS ACROSS SE WVA/KDAN
AND LESS ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE NEAR KROA WITH -SHRA/CB MENTION ELSW.

OUTSIDE OF ANY STORMS...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL UNDER
SCTD/BKN CU EXCEPT OVER THE EAST WHERE CLOUDS MAY BE MORE
EXPANSIVE AS DEEPER CONVECTION DEVELOPS.

THE COLD FRONT SHOULD BE SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION LATE TONIGHT BUT
DRIER AIR MAY BE SLOWER IN ARRIVING ESPECIALLY IN THE PIEDMONT.
WITH SHOWERS AROUND INTO THE EVENING...SOME MVFR OR IFR FOG IS
POSSIBLE AT MOST SITES LATE TONIGHT BUT WILL BE MOST WIDESPREAD
INCLUDING THE LOWEST VSBYS AT SITES THAT DO RECEIVE EARLIER
RAINFALL.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA FOR MID WEEK...RESULTING IN
MOSTLY DRY WX THROUGH SUNDAY. ASIDE FROM SOME LATE NIGHT FOG
ALONG THE RIVERS...PRIMARILY IN THE MTNS...LOOKING AT VFR
CONDITIONS FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
