Special Weather Statement, NWS Blacksburg, VA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
449 AM EDT FRI JUN 10 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEW ENGLAND THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY.
THIS FRONT WILL DRIFT SLOWLY SOUTH AND THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC
REGION BY SUNDAY. A MORE COMFORTABLE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
RECLAIMS THE REGION INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
CLUSTER OF SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPED VCNTY OF LYNCHBURG-ROCKY MOUNT VA
COORIDOR AFTER 2AM IN RESPONSE TO OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT CUT FREE
OF LAST EVENINGS MCS OVER NRN WV/VA. THIS SHOWER ACTIVITY LIKELY
TO PERSIST THROUGH SUNRISE B4 WEAKENING. RADAR HAS INDICATED THAT
SOME SMALL HAIL HAS ACCOMPANED SOME OF THE STRONGER
STORMS...POSSIBLY AS LARGE AS A MARBLE...60 DBZ CORES TESTING
20KFT ATTMS.

FOR TODAY...IN SPITE OF ONGOING MORNING SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS
SOUTHSIDE VA...THINK WE HEAT UP ACROSS THE CWA. SHOULD TEST 90 DEG
F ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...BUT NOTHING LIKE WE HAD
THURSDAY. THE UPPER RIDGE IS BREAKING DOWN...AND THICKNESSES
SHOULD BE TRENDING DOWN. AFTERNOON DEEP CONVECTION LIKELY TO FORM
ALONG REMNANT OUTFLOW FROM THIS MORNINGS DEEP CONVECTION...AND
SINCE THIS FEATURE LIKELY TO REMAIN OVER THE CWA LOOK FOR GREATER
SHOWER COVERAGE TODAY...WITH POTENTIAL FOR AREAS THAT HAVE NOT
SEEN PRECIP TO PARTAKE IN A LITTLE ACTION TODAY. ENTERTAINED HIGH
CHC POPS ALL AREAS TODAY...TENDING A BIT HIGHER OVER THE SOUTHERN
CWA WHERE THE OUTFLOW WILL LIKELY RESIDE BY THIS AFTERNOON.

LOOKING UPSTREAM...A COLD FRONT IS STILL NORTH OF THE
REGION...EXTENDING FROM NEW ENGLAND INTO TO THE OHIO VALLEY.
SHOWERS AND STORMS LIKELY TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS FEATURE AGAIN
TODAY...AND ANY MCS THAT GETS GOING UPSTREAM LIKELY TO PUT US IN
THE CROSS HAIRS FOR THIS EVENING OR TONIGHT. BOTTOM LINE...WILL
LIKELY HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING WITHIN RADAR RANGE THROUGH THE
24 HOUR PERIOD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
COLD FRONT WILL TRACK ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
WHILE THE AREA REMAINS IN THE WARM SECTOR SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...CONVECTION ACTIVITY WILL BE ON- GOING. THE
STRONGER STORMS WILL OCCUR WITH PREFRONTAL ENERGY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE FRONT WILL ALSO BRING SOME STRONG
STORMS EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE SUNDAY BUT THE AREAL COVERAGE WILL
BE LIMITED BY A DOWNSLOPING WEST WIND.

STEEP LAPSE RATES AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL BRING HEAVY DOWNPOURS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ROTATION WITH ORGANIZED STORMS WILL
PRODUCE HAIL BUT THE BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINES
WINDS. SPC HAS THE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SATURDAY. STORMS WILL
TRACK FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO THE NORTHEAST AT A PACE OF 20-30 MPH.

85H TEMPERATURES STILL QUITE WARM SATURDAY AND IF CONVECTION COULD
HOLD OFF UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON...UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S POSSIBLE.
DESPITE THE COLD FRONT COMING ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY...A WARM
START...WEST DOWNSLOPING WINDS AND INCREASING SUNSHINE WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL. SOUTHSIDE COULD SEE ONE MORE 90F DAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME NORTH THEN EAST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ON
MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR
INTO THE FORECAST AREA. HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST FOR MONDAY AND
TUESDAY DRY.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SLOWLY APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS AND MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL BRING THE CHANCE
FOR PRECIPITATION BACK INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION ON WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY. STAYED CLOSE TO BIAS CORRECTED HPC GUIDANCE SUNDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHRA/TSRA ASSOCIATED WITH AN MCS OUTFLOW ACROSS NRN WV INTO NRN VA
THURSDAY EVENING HAS REGENERATED NEW AREA OF SHRA/TSRA OVER
SOUTHSIDE VA. LOCAL WRF MODEL INDICATES ACTIVITY MAY DRIFT
SOUTHEAST TO ALONG THE VA/NC BORDER VCNTY OF KDAN AROUND DAYBREAK
B4 WEAKENING. HAVE AMENDED KLYH FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND
WILL LIKELY NEED TO INCLUD VCNTY SHRA OR TSRA FOR KDAN ALSO.

ELSEWHERE REMAINDER OF THE EARLY MORNING LOOKS DRY...ALTHOUGH
LOOKING FOR PATCHY FOG...ESP KBCB WHERE OVER AN INCH OF RAIN FELL
THURSDAY EVENING.

HIGH PRESSURE WHICH HAS BEEN CENTERED OVERHEAD WILL WEAKEN
TODAY...WINDS ALOFT BECOMING MORE ZONAL...FEATURING WEST TO EAST
MOVING CLOUD ELEMENTS FOR THE WEEKEND. WITH LOSS OF
SUBSIDENCE...EXPECT AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE OF DIURNAL SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. NOT CONFIDENT THAT DEEP CONVECTION WILL
REMAIN DIURNAL. A SURFACE FRONT WILL BE DROPPING SOUTH AND THROUGH
THE REGION BY SUNDAY...THIS FEATURE ALSO PROVIDING A CHANCE THAT
SHOWER ACTIVITY COULD OCCUR OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL DIURNAL CYCLE.

WITH WESTERLY FLOW INCREASING ALOFT GREATEST CONFIDENCE FOR
FORMATION OF LOCAL TSTM ACTIVITY WILL BE OVER THE MTNS DURING THE
EARLY AND MID AFTERNOON PERIODS...THEN DRIFTING EAST INTO THE
FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
LOCAL MVFR/POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS...LIGHT FOG
LIKELY...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAIN AND RIVER VALLEYS.

THE WEAK COOL FRONT THAT COMES THROUGH ON SUNDAY SHOULD TURN THE
WIND FLOW MORE NORTHERLY FOR MONDAY ALONG WITH SOME DRYING. AS
SUCH...SHOULD SEE A LULL IN SHRA/TSTM ACTIVITY FOR MONDAY AND
TUESDAY.
