Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 3:26 PM EDT, 2 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
326 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 WEDNESDAY/...
COLD FRONT ACROSS KY WILL SLIDE EAST REACHING THE BLUE RIDGE AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND THEN PROGRESS EAST OF THE CWA BY MORNING. THIS WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR BANDS OF TSRA STARTING IN THE MOUNTAINS ALONG RESIDUAL
OUTFLOW THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN LIKELY JUMPING OUT TO THE PIEDMONT
THIS EVENING WHERE THE FLOW IS BACKED AND INSTABILITY HIGHEST. THIS
IN LINE WITH MOST GUIDANCE WHICH BASICALLY SHOWS A NEARLY SOLID LINE
MOVING EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE INTO THE LEE TROF THIS EVENING. THUS
HAVE UPPED POPS TO HIGH LIKELYS/LOW END CATEGORICAL FAR WEST AND
ACROSS THE EAST INCLUDING PARTS OF THE BLUE RIDGE WITH HIGH CHANCE
COVERAGE IN BETWEEN WHERE THINK THE WESTERLY FLOW MAY LIMIT TO MORE
SCATTERED NATURE. HIGH DCAPES WILL AGAIN PROMOTE POTENTIAL WIND
DAMAGE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL PENDING
ORGANIZATION. APPEARS THE MAJORITY OF THE CONVECTION WILL BE EXITING
THE SE PIEDMONT SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT IF NOT SOONER ESPCLY IF A
MORE ORGANIZED LINE FORMS AND AIDS THE SE PUSH VIA DENSITY. HOWEVER
THE MUCH DRIER AIR WILL LIKELY GET HUNG UP CROSSING THE FAR WEST
UNTIL LATE PER ONLY SLOW SOUTHWARD PUSH TO THE ACTUAL FRONT. THUS
DESPITE CLEARING WENT CLOSER TO THE WARMER MET MOS WITH LOWS MOSTLY
IN THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 WEST AND MID 60S PIEDMONT.

UPPER TROF SWINGS ACROSS WED WITH THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SLIDING
TO THE SE ALLOWING DECENT SUBSIDENCE AND MUCH DRIER AIR TO WORK IN.
THIS SHOULD MAKE FOR A MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE DAY WITH LOWER
TEMPS/HUMIDITY AND MAINLY SUNNY SKIES OUTSIDE OF EARLY CLOUDS/FOG IN
SPOTS FOLLOWED BY SOME AFTERNOON CU. WENT ON THE COOL SIDE OF MOS
NW GIVEN THE COOLER 85H TEMPS ALONG THE SPINE OF THE APPS AND OUT
EAST WHERE THE FLOW TURNS MORE NORTHERLY. OTRW MOS PRETTY CLOSE
AND BASICALLY FOLLOWED.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
CONTINENTAL SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE PROVIDES A COOLER AND
COMFORTABLE END OF THE WEEK BEFORE UPPER RIDGE EXPANDS EAST. TEMPS
COULD FALL INTO THE UPPER 40S ACROSS SOME OF THE SHELTERED
MOUNTAIN VALLEYS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THURSDAY NIGHT ALSO HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BE ANOTHER CHILLY NIGHT. AIRMASS SHOULD REMAIN DRY
ENOUGH TO STUNT ANY DIURNAL CONVECTION FRIDAY AFTERNOON DESPITE
HIGH TEMPS MOVING CLOSER TO 90F AGAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A STRETCH OF HOT AND INCREASINGLY HUMID AIR IS EXPECTED THROUGH
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. AS DEWPOINTS INCREASE AND AIRMASS BECOMES
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE...ISOLATED STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY
WITH A WEAK FRONT PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR CONVECTION INTO MONDAY
AND MONDAY NIGHT. WITH H85 TEMPS CROSSING +20C...SOME UPPER 90S
MAY EVENT BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE PIEDMONT AND SOUTHSIDE LATE
WEEKEND. COLD FRONT ARRIVING AT THE END OF THE FORECAST DOESNT
LOOK TO PROVIDE MUCH RELIEF WITH THE UPPER HIGH BEGINNNG TO CLOSE
OFF OVER THE SE CONUS.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z 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.
