AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
425 PM EDT SAT SEP 3 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH LATE SUNDAY...AND MOVE INTO THE AREA
AND STALL ON MONDAY. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS THEN EXPECTED TO
REMAIN NEAR THE FORECAST AREA INTO MID WEEK. DEEP TROPICAL
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL STORM LEE WILL BE RIDING UP THE
FRONT FROM MONDAY INTO MID WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 423 PM EDT SATURDAY...

CLUSTERS OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY
EVENING MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS...DRIFTING SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST.
DMAGING WINDS GUSTS MAIN THREAT...BUT A FEW STORMS COULD HAVE
LARGE HAIL...ALTHOUGH THIS THREAT WILL DIMINISH BY 6PM OR SO. WIND
PROFILES SUPPORT AND RADAR OBSERVATIONS HAVE SHOWN....SOME
BACK-BUILDING FO CELLS...SO LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING STILL A
THREAT AS WELL. BY EVENING...TREND SHOULD BE TO SHIFT MOST CLUSTER
OF STORMS INTO NEW RIVER VALLEY TO FAR SOUTHWEST VA...POSSIBLY
INTO THE NW NC MTNS...THEN ALL GUIDANCE INDICATES STORMS WILL
QUICKLY DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF HEATING.

EXPECT SLOW CLEARING OVERNIGHT WITH SOME DERBSI CLOUDS LINGERING...
BUT WITH WEAK SFC HIGH STILL HAVING SOME INFLUENCE...ALTHOUGH MAIN
CENTER OF HIGH SHIFTS EAST...LIKELY TO GET AREAS OF FOG AND
STRATUS AGAIN OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY WHERE IT HAS RAINED. INCLUDED
PATCHY FOG OUT EAST AS WELL...UNCERTAIN HOW MUCH OF THE SHWRS
WOULD MAKE IT DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE BLUE RDG...AND AREAS OF
FOG IN FAVORED MTN VALLEYS. MILD OVERNIGHT MINS DESPITE EVENTUAL
CLEARING...WENT VERY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE.

SUNDAY...COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM WEST BUT SHOULD REMAIN FAR
ENOUGH WEST NOT TO SEE DIRECT INFLUENCE FROM CONVECTION ASSOC WITH
THE FRONT DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS. HOWEVER...WITH DAYTIME HEATING
AND SLIGHTLY INCREASING S TO SW LOW LEVEL FLOW AND ABUNDANT SFC
MSTR...OROGRAPHIC LIFT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO FIRE SCATTERED STORMS
FROM BLUE RDG WESTWARD BY MID AFTERNOON. HEAT PERHAPS NOT AS
STRONG AS TODAY IN THE WEST...WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER THICKNESSES AS
850 HIGH SLIDES EAST...BUT ENOUGH TO REALIZE AT LEAST MODEST
INSTABILITY. LESS CHANCE FOR SEVERE BASED ON OVERALL LOWER
INSTABILITY...BUT CANT RULE OUT A FEW SEVERE WIND GUSTS GIVEN SOME MID
LEVEL DRY AIR STILL AROUND. THINK CONVECTION WILL FIRE A BIT
LATER SUNDAY COMPARED TO TODAY AS WELL. WENT WITH A FAIRLY EVEN BLEND
OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS...WITH ONLY NOTABLE DIFFERENCES
BEING IN THE EAST. LESS CHANCE

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 330 PM EDT SATURDAY...

COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EAST NEARING THE WESTERN SLOPES BY EARLY MONDAY
BEFORE DRIFTING EAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION BY MONDAY EVENING.
TAP INTO DEEPER TROPICAL MOISTURE FROM LEE WILL BEGIN TAKE SHAPE
SUNDAY NIGHT WITH SHOWERS PUNCHING IN FROM THE SW DURING THE
EVENING...LIKELY REACHING THE BLUE RIDGE BY EARLY MONDAY. THIS
SUPPORTS UPPING POPS A BIT FASTER ACROSS THE SW WITH MOST SEEING
LIKELY POPS BY DAYBREAK ON MONDAY.

MAIN FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WILL COME IN THE MONDAY THRU TUESDAY
EVENING TIME FRAME AS THE BOUNDARY STALLS AND AXIS OF DEEP MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH LEE TRAINS UP FROM THE SW. MODELS REMAIN RATHER
CONSISTENT WITH THIS TIMING GIVEN STRONG SW JET ALOFT PER
INTERACTION OF LEE WITH THE NORTHERN UPPER TROF. IN ADDITION...SHEAR
PROFILES WOULD SUPPORT A MAINLY LEFT OF TRACK BAND OF HEAVY RAIN
WHICH MAY STREAK NE FASTER THAN EITHER THE LATEST GFS/EURO OR
CANADIAN SHOW BUT LIKELY SLOWER THAN THE REALLY FAST NAM. THINK
COMBO OF HIGH PWATS OF 2 INCHES OR MORE...STRONG LIFT AND UPSLOPE
WILL LIKEY YIELD RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1-2 INCHES EAST...2-4 INCHES IN
SPOTS WEST WITH LOCALLY HIGHER TOTALS ALONG THE SOUTHERN BLUE RIDGE
PENDING JUST HOW MUCH CONVECTION IF ANY MIXES IN. LATEST INSTABILITY
PROGS SUGGEST BEST SHOT OF DEEPER CONVECTION WILL BE MONDAY AS THE
FRONT DRIFTS THROUGH...THEN MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTH/SW MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY AS THE WEDGE DEVELOPS IN FROM THE NORTH. THUS WILL UP
POPS TO CATEGORICAL WITH A HEAVY RAIN MENTION FOR MOST OF
MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT TAPERING A BIT TO LIKELYS LATER TUESDAY. EXPECT
WILL ALSO NEED A WATCH AT LEAST OVER THE WEST FOR MUCH OF THIS TIME
PERIOD BUT GIVEN 4TH PERIOD AND BEYOND WILL HOLD WITH MENTION IN THE
HWO FOR NOW.

KEPT TEMPS CLOSE TO THE LATEST MAV MOS HIGHS AND MET LOWS BUT NOT
QUITE AS COOL AS PREVIOUS ON TUESDAY WITH THE WEDGE APPEARING A BIT
WEAKER WITH THE TRAILING SURFACE HIGH LAGGING TO THE NW. OTRW STILL
BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS MONDAY MAINLY IN THE 70S AND 60S WEST TO LOW
70S EAST ON TUESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 300 PM EDT SATURDAY...

BASED ON THE LATEST EVEN FASTER MODEL TRENDS...THE REMNANT LOW OF
LEE AND ITS WIDESPREAD PRECIP SHIELD SHOULD BE EXITING THE AREA
EITHER LATE TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY AS IT INTERACTS WITH THE
NORTHERN STREAM UPPER TROF. THIS WOULD CAUSE AN EXODUS OF THE STEADY
HEAVIER SHRA/TSRA A BIT SOONER PER MID LEVEL DRY SLOTTING AS THE
DEEP RH SHEARS NE EVEN THOUGH THE ACTUAL LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION MAY
STILL BE LINGERING AROUND THE CENTRAL APPS UNTIL THURSDAY. HOWEVER
SINCE THE LATEST ENSEMBLES ARE STILL A LITTLE SLOWER...PLAN TO KEEP
LIKELY POPS GOING TUE NIGHT BEFORE TRIMMING BACK TO MAINY HIGH
CHANCE SCTD NATURE COVERAGE ON WEDNESDAY AS BANDS TEND TO REDEVELOP
WITH THE 5H UPPER LOW JUST WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS AND THE LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION TO THE SW. THIS MAY STILL PRODUCE AREAS OF VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL AND AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT PER TROPICAL AIR IN PLACE BUT
THINKING DECREASING COVERAGE WED NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE MAIN
CORRIDOR OF LIFT. KEPT TEMPS ON THE COOL SIDE THRU WED GIVEN WEAK
WEDGE LINGERING AND LITTLE SUN.

THINGS A BIT MORE UNCERTAIN IN THE WAKE OF THE MAIN LEE REMNANT
THU-SAT WITH THE UPPER LOW MEANDERING AROUND WEST OF THE MOUNTAINS
AND PERHAPS A BIT MORE RIDGING FRIDAY INTO SAT ON THE WEST SIDE OF
KATIA OFFSHORE. LATEST GFS FORECAST RAOBS SHOW DECREASING MOISTURE
LATE IN THE WEEK WITH THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNING MORE NW AND QUITE A
DRY LAYER ALOFT. THUS MAY BE DOWN TO JUST ISOLATED COVERAGE AT BEST
UNDER WARMER TEMPS BY WEEKS END PENDING JUST HOW FAST THE LEE
MOISTURE MOVES. HOWEVER SINCE IFFY WILL TREND TOWARD THE CHANCE HPC
POPS WED NIGHT-FRIDAY AND THEN BASICALLY HAVE ISOLATED TO NO POPS
SATURDAY UNDER WEAK SFC RIDGING. OTRW EXPECT THE WEDGE TO GRADUALLY
WEAKEN AS WELL PER MORE INSOLATION WHICH SHOULD MAKE MORE FOR A PC
FLAVOR WITH TEMPS WARMING BACK CLOSE TO ONLY SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 145 PM EDT SATURDAY...

WHILE VFR CONDITIONS HAVE FINALLY RETURNED AT ALL TAF SITES AS OF
MIDDAY...BCB WAS LAST FOR FOG/STRATUS TO LIFT...NOW ISOLD TO SCT
THUNDERSTORMS ARE FIREING ALONG THE HIGHER RIDGES...AS WELL AS
AS A FEW SLIDING DOWN FROM THE NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL VA
PIEDMONT AND FOOTHILLS...POSSIBLY REACHING LYH BY 2:30 OR 3PM.
PLACED VCTS IN ALL TAFS BUT DAN INTO THE EARLY EVENING...7PM TO
8PM. BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE GUSTY
WINDS...MAINLY FROM THE NORTH OR NORTHEAST...BUT WILL BE ERRATIC
AS USUAL. BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE...BUT PROBS
ARE FAIRLY LOW THAT ANY STORM WILL PASS RIGHT OVER AN AIRPORT.

SOME PARTIAL CLEARING TONIGHT...AND WITH WEAK SFC HIGH STILL
HAVING SOME INFLUENCE...AREAS OF FOG LIKELY AGAIN TONIGHT...WITH
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT TAF SITES WEST OF BLUE RDG DURING
EARLY MORNING HOURS. DONT EXPECT THESE CONDITIONS WILL HANG ON
QUITE AS LONG AT BCB SUNDAY MORNING AS SW FLOW ALOFT WILL BE
INCREASING A BIT AND NOT ANTICIPATING THE STRONG INVERSION A FEW
THOUSAND FEET OFF THE GROUND.

MORE SCATTERED LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY AS A COLD FRONT SLOWLY
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. AGAIN...THE BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL
BE IN THE MTNS. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG WITH PERIODS
OF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE NOW LIKELY MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...POSSIBLY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH THE FRONT STALLING NEAR THE
AREA. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR TROPICAL MOISTURE TO STREAM NE FROM THE
SYSTEM IN THE GULF DURING THIS TIME WHICH COULD BRING SUB VFR AND
RAINY CONDITIONS FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
