AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
216 PM EDT SAT APR 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COOL FRONT HAS STALLED OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...AND
WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY INTO TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL LIFT
BACK NORTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT
THAT WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 130 PM...AIRMASS HAS BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE IN THE WRN
MTNS AS EXPECTED. WE EXPECT DISCRETE CELLS...ALONG WITH MULTICELL
CLUSTERS OF STORMS. MAIN POTENTIAL IS LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS...BUT ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN THE DISCRETE
CELLS...SO THE SEVERE TSTM WATCH WAS UPGRADED TO A TORNADO WATCH.
STRATUS FIELD STILL COVERS MOST OF THE EASTERN CWA. HAVE UPDATED
TO LOWER TEMPS SOME MORE IN THE PIEDMONT AREAS...AND ADD SEVERE
WORDING TO TSTMS IN THE WRN MTNS.

AS OF 1000 AM...
VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS A SHARP CONTRAST ACROSS THE CWA...WITH
LOW...THICK STRATUS ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND PLENTY
OF SUN IN MUCH OF THE MTNS. WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW VEERING FROM NE TO
SE THROUGH THE DAY...I EXPECT THE STRATUS TO HANG IN TOUGH ALONG
AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...WHILE LOCATIONS NEAR...BUT WEST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE IN STRATUS NOW...WILL LIKELY GET SOME SUN THIS
AFTERNOON. OF COURSE...FURTHER WEST WILL HAVE AT LEAST PARTIAL
SUNSHINE...AND WILL BECOME UNSTABLE. I HAVE EDGED THE COVERAGE OF
TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON A LITTLE FURTHER EAST SINCE THERE IS MORE SUN
IN WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE NEW RIVER VALLEY. I INCREASED CLOUD
COVER EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...AND HAVE LOWER HIGH TEMPS-
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NW NC PIEDMONT WHERE THEY WILL LIKELY NOT
GET OUT OF THE 50S.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AT 08Z/4AM SURFACE FRONT EXTENDED FROM GREENBRIER COUNTY WEST
VIRGINIA THROUGH WILKES COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA...DEPICTED WELL ON
MSAS BY THE TIGHT GRADIENT OF LIFTED INDEX VALUES. ON THE COOL
SIDE OF THE FRONT STRATUS AND FOG HAVE FORMED. EXPECT THE FOG TO
LIFT IN THE MORNING BUT MUCH OF THE ARA IN THE WEDGE SHOULD BE
CLOUDY TODAY.

EXPECTING THE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHEAST MISSOURI TO
TRACK INTO THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING AND ALONG THE FRONT THIS
AFTERNOON. MODELS BRING THE MCV ASSOCIATED WITH THESE STORMS
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST COUNTIES OF THE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN
18Z/2PM AND 00Z/8PM. EXPECT A WEST OR NORTHWEST STORM MOTION TO
AGAIN TRACK THE STORMS INTO THE COOL SIDE OF THE FRONT.

HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO FRIDAY WITH MID TO UPPER
50S DEEP IN THE COOL AIR TO MID TO UPPER 70S IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST.
BLENDED IN BIAS CORRECTED MET GUIDANCE IN FOR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
THIS AFTERNOON. LOWS TONIGHT WILL STAY IN THE 40S NORTHEAST TO THE
LOWER 60S SOUTHWEST. AGAIN USED THE MET GUIDANCE FOR MINIMUM
TEMPERATURES.

A STORM SURVEY IS PLANNED FOR TODAY FROM PULASKI TO DRAPER
VIRGINIA. ANOTHER SURVEY MAY BE CONDUCTED IN SOUTHERN MONROE
COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EASTWARD SUNDAY MORNING...BUT WILL START THE
DAY WITH A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AS A WARM FRONT...EXTENDING FROM A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PUSHING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS...MOVES
NORTHWARD ACROSS OUR AREA. SHOWERS WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA BY LATE
MORNING...WITH SKIES BECOMING PARTLY CLOUDY ACROSS OUR REGION.
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL BE DOMINANT ACROSS OUR AREA...USHERING IN
ALMOST SUMMER LIKE TEMPERATURES...WITH SUNDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS
REACHING THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.

THE WARM TREND WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY...HOWEVER WIND SPEEDS WILL
BE STRONGER AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS OUR AREA TIGHTENS. GUSTS
DURING THE AFTERNOON MAY REACH 30 MPH...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ALSO INCREASE DURING THE
AFTERNOON AS A STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHES OUR REGION FROM THE
UPPER MIDWEST. ALTHOUGH THE STRONGEST ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY WILL
REMAIN FARTHER TO THE NORTH...THE COMBINATION OF VERY WARM AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES AND RESPECTABLE INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL
STILL RESULT IN A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND EVEN ISOLATED
TORNADOES POSSIBLE...IN ADDITION TO HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING.

THE COLD FRONT CLEARS OUR AREA TO THE EAST SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT ON
TUESDAY...WITH DRIER AIR MOVING INTO THE AREA. STILL EXPECT TO SEE
RESIDUAL SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING FOR
LOCATIONS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...BUT AT LEAST WE CAN EXPECT THIS
RESIDUAL POST FRONTAL ACTIVITY TO FALL IN THE FORM OF RAIN AS
OPPOSED TO SNOW. HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY...WHICH WILL KEEP OUR WEATHER DRY THROUGH THE END OF THE
WORKWEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY 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 /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
STRATUS PRODUCING IFR CIGS IS HANGING TOUGH EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. THIS INCLUDESBCB...ROA...LYH AND DAN. THESE CIGS MAY
BRIEFLY RISE TO LOW END MVFR...BUT ARE EXPECTED TO DROP RIGHT BACK
DOWN AGAIN TONIGHT...WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE OF IFR CONDS...MODERATE
CONFIDENCE OF VLIFR CONDS. FURTHER WEST...NEARLY FULL DAY HEATING
HAS PRODUCED MODERATELY UNSTABLE CONDS AND A TORNADO WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED IN EFFECT THRU 900 PM. BLF AND LWB WILL LIKELY SEE A
TSTM...AND HAVE A CHC FOR STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. BCB HAS A
LOW CHC OF SEEING A STRONG TSTM. I EXPECT LWB TO DROP DOWN TO
VLIFR IN FOG...BLF MAY NOT DROP TO IFR.

LOW CIGS/VSBYS WILL RISE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS SUNDAY. I
EXPECT MOST SITES TO BECOME VFR AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER 18Z/200
PM.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION LATE
MONDAY...BRINGING A CHC OF THUNDERSTORMS TO ALL AREAS. VFR THEN
RETURNS ACROSS THE EAST BEHIND THE FRONT TUESDAY WITH UPSLOPE MVFR
CIGS AND A FEW -SHRA OVER SE WVA.

&&
