Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 12:48 PM EDT, 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1248 PM EDT SAT JUL 23 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THE CENTER OF THE UPPER RIDGE SLOWLY RETROGRADES OVER THE WEEKEND.
A COLD FRONT WILL SINK SOUTH TOWARD US EARLY NEXT WEEK. A BUBBLE OF
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SCOOTS OVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC BY THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER WARM UP BY LATE WEEK.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE GOING HEAT ADVISORY AS EXPECT DEWPOINTS TO
ACTUALLY LOWER A BIT UNDER THE WEST WIND THIS AFTERNOON WHICH
SHOULD KEEP INDICES A BIT LOWER CLOSER TO THE BLUE RIDGE. HOWEVER
WILL NEED TO MONITOR AREAS ALONG THE VIRGINIA FOOTHILLS TO SEE IF
DEWPOINTS/TEMPS END UP BEING HIGHER WHICH COULD PUSH A COUPLE MORE
COUNTIES HEAT INDEX CLOSER TO 105. OTRW THICKNESS SUPPORTS HIGHS
UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 EAST AIDED BY WEAK DOWNSLOPE...AND 90-95
BLUE RIDGE. EXPECT A BIT SLOWER START OVER THE FAR WEST DUE TO
CLOUDS/ISOLATED SHRA TO HOLD VALUES IN THE 80S TO AROUND 90.

OTRW MODIFIED MORNING RAOBS SHOW QUITE A BIT OF UNCAPPED
INSTABILITY FOR THE AFTERNOON WITH 2-3K CAPES AND LARGE DCAPES
DESPITE LACK OF MUCH DRY AIR ALOFT. WEAK STEERING AND HIGH PWATS
SHOULD ALSO PROMOTE MORE MICROBURST NATURE POTENTIAL ALONG WITH
HEAVY RAINFALL AS THE RESIDUAL VORT ALONG THE APPS SHIFTS SLOWLY
EAST AND WEAKENS. THUS APPEARS INITIAL BEST COVERAGE WILL TAKE
PLACE OVER THE WEST WHERE HAVE OLD OUTFLOW AND EARLY ISOLATED
-TSRA...THEN PERHAPS MORE ACROSS THE NORTH...CLOSER TO THE DEEPER
MOISTURE AXIS TO THE NORTH PER LATEST LOCAL WRF/HRRR. EXPECT WEAK
WESTERLY FLOW TO LIKELY LIMIT COVERAGE OUT EAST UNTIL LATER IN THE
DAY SO KEEPING LOW TO SLIGHT POPS THERE...AND HIGHER CHANCE TO
LOW LIKELYS IN SPOTS MOUNTAINS WHERE WILL INCLUDE HEAVY RAIN
MENTION.

TONIGHT...THE TRACK OF THE VORT SHOULD BE TAKING MOST OF THE
CONVECTION EAST OF US IN THE EVENING WITH THE CHANCES OVERNIGHT IN
THE WEST FALLING OFF TO SLIGHT CHANCE...AS AN INCOMING MCS LOOKS TO
STAY NORTH OF THE CWA OVER OHIO INTO WRN PA/NRN WV...ALONG THE
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT. WILL EXPERIENCE ANOTHER MUGGY NIGHT WITH LOWS
IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S FOR MOST AREAS.

SEE CLIMATE SECTION FOR RECORD HIGHS FOR TODAY. POTENTIAL FOR LYH TO
SEE A RECORD BARRING ANY CLOUD COVER...CONVECTION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
WE ANTICIPATE THE AXIS OF THE UPPER RIDGE TO SHIFT WESTWARD BY THE
END OF THE WEEKEND...WITH THE PREVAILING UPPER LEVEL FLOW TO BECOME
MORE NORTHWEST. THIS SCENARIO WILL ALLOW FOR SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES
OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION TO HAVE A GREATER POTENTIAL TO IMPACT
OUR REGION. ALSO...THE PREVAILING 850MB FLOW OVER OUR REGION WILL
HAVE ITS ORIGINS FROM OVER THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. DECREASED CAP
STRENGTH...INCREASING UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...AND A GREATER LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ALL POINT TOWARDS A FORECAST WITH GREATER CHANCES OF
DAYTIME...AND NIGHTTIME CONVECTION SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

ON MONDAY...A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO HEAD SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
AREA. THIS FEATURE WILL ACT AS THE MAIN FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND
POTENTIALLY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TO SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE FRONT FOR TUESDAY.
ANTICIPATE TEMPERATURES AROUND OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL BUT WITH DEW
POINTS AROUND TEN DEGREES LOWER THAN RECENT DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE OMNIPRESENT UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN 2/3 OF THE CONUS
BEGINS TO SHIFT BACK TOWARD THE EAST BY MID TO LATE WEEK AND MAY
BE POSITIONED OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC BY FRIDAY. THE RESULT WOULD BE
INCREASED HEAT YET AGAIN AND A POSSIBLE REPLAY OF THE WHAT WE ARE
CURRENTLY GETTING IN TERMS OF TEMPS. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF ARE
SHOWING SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITH 596DM HEIGHTS OVER THE EASTERN
SEABOARD BY FRIDAY. SO BOTTOM LINE IS A CONTINUATION OF THE
PATTERN..SLIGHT COOLING EARLY WEEK FOLLOWED BY INTENSIFICATION OF
THE HEAT THURSDAY AND ESPECIALLY FRIDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND. COULD
BE LOOKING AT MORE HEAT ADVISORIES/WARNINGS. MAINTAINED AFTERNOON
POPS IN THE SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE RANGE SINCE THE COMBINATION OF
HEAT AND MOISTURE MAKES STORMS POSSIBLE WITH ALMOST ANY WEAK
TRIGGER..ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD OR ORGANIZED ACTIVITY UNLIKELY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUE INTO THIS EVENING
DESPITE OVERALL VFR UNDER SCT-BKN CU AND PLENTY OF HAZE ALOFT.
HOWEVER APPEARS THE WESTERN LOCATIONS FROM KBCB INTO SE WVA WILL
HAVE THE BEST CHANCES OF SEEING A TSRA AT ONE OF THE AIRPORTS SO
INCLUDING A VCTS MENTION THERE...WITH CB MENTION ELSW OUTSIDE OF
THE EASTERN LOCATIONS. ANY STORMS WILL WEAKEN AND END THIS EVENING
LEAVING BEHIND ANOTHER FOGGY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY FOR THE WESTERN
LOCATIONS THAT SAW EARLIER SHOWERS. NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT
BLF/LWB AND BCB ALL EXPERIENCE SUB MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS LATE
TONIGHT.

SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE A REPEAT OF TODAY WITH STORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS
THE WESTERN RIDGES BY MIDDAY AND WITH THE FRONT STAYING NORTH OF
US...THE MAIN THREAT WILL STAY IN THE NRN FORECAST AREA BUT COULD
SEE CONVECTION AREA WIDE AND ESPCLY LATE IN THE DAY AS A TSRA
COMPLEX OR TWO DROPS IN FROM THE NORTH. THUS WILL INCLUDE MORE
CLOUDS ACROSS THE SE WVA SITES THRU MIDDAY SUNDAY BUT HOLD OFF ON
ADDING A CB MENTION FOR NOW.

THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A
FRONT MOVING IN. THIS FRONT SHOULD BRING A BETTER THREAT OF TSRA
TO MOST OF THE AREA MONDAY. AS COOLER AIR ARRIVES INTO TUESDAY
MORNING THERE SHOULD BE SOME IFR FOG WITH A WET GROUND THEN A DRY
TUESDAY PM FOLLOWS. OTRW LOOKING FOR IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH VFR
FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON THRU THURSDAY.
