AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1117 PM EDT SAT AUG 13 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. COOLER HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA FROM THE
NORTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 1115 PM SATURDAY...
UPDATED THE ZONES TO REFLECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ALLEGHANY HIGHLANDS AND THE
SHENANDOAH VALLEY. RADAR INDICATES THAT THESE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE SOMEWHAT SLOW MOVING...AND THAT TRAINING OF
THESE STORMS IS TAKING PLACE IN A FEW AREAS.

ALSO KEEPING AN EYE ON A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
APPROACHING OUR WESTERN BORDERS FROM KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA.
THIS LINE SHOULD BE IN OUR AREA BEFORE 1 AM. A FEW STORMS IN THIS
LINE ARE STRONG TO SEVERE...AND MAY BE CAPABLE OF GUSTY WINDS AND
VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IF THEY HOLD TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO ENTER OUR
REGION.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ISSUED AT 945 PM...
THE 00Z RNK SOUNDING CONTINUED TO SHOW A DEEP MOISTURE
PROFILE...WITH PW VALUES AT 1.57 INCHES. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND
INSTABILITY AXIS WITH CAPES STILL IN EXCESS OF 1000 J/KG HAVE
RESULTED IN SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. AS THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND INSTABILITY WEAKEN...THESE
STORMS ACROSS LYH TO LEXINGTON SHOULD VERY SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH
MIDNIGHT...BUT ISOLATED FLOODING CONCERNS REMAIN.

OUR FOCUS THEN TURNS TO THE NEXT COMPLEX OF STORMS ACROSS EASTERN
KY ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IN THE OHIO VALLEY IN
ADVANCE OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROF IN THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES.
AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH AFTER MIDNIGHT...EXPECT SHOWERS AND
STORMS IN KY TO SURVIVE INTO OUR FORECAST AREA AS FORECAST MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOW CAPES STILL ABV 500 J/KG.

AS A RESULT...INCREASED POPS AFTER 06Z TO LIKELY FOR THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA. ISOLATED FLOODING REMAINS POSSIBLE INTO THE NIGHT
SO WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS THREAT IN THE HWO.

FOR SUNDAY...USED A BROAD PAINT BRUSH OF HIGH POPS LACKING DETAIL
OF TIMING DUE TO TEMPORAL UNCERTAINTY OF THE ANTICIPATED BANDS OF
SHRA/TSRA. MAINTAINED HIGH POPS UNTIL THE WINDS BECOME WESTERLY
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT LATER SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

MEAN WINDS SATURDAY OF 15 KTS SHOULD INCREASE TO 25 KTS BY SUNDAY.
THIS SHOULD RESULT IN FASTER MOVEMENT OF THE SHOWERS AND HOPEFULLY
LOWERING THE THREAT FOR WATER ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO FLASH
FLOODING. STILL CAN'T RULE OUT SOME POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING PER
POTENTIAL FOR SHRA/TSRA TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS. AS THE UPPER
TROUGH APPROACHES...TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL BE COOLING...AND THIS
IN TURN MAY RAISE THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS PER INCREASING
LAPSE RATES PROMOTING STRONGER UPDRAFTS FOR LARGER HAIL AND
POTENTIAL FOR MICROBURST WINDS.

TEMPS SUNDAY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF SOLAR INSOLATION.
USED BLENDED MOS FOR SUNDAY DUE TO CLOUD FCST UNCERTAINTIES. TEMPS
CAN EASILY SPIKE IF THERE ARE ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER AHEAD
OF THE FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 355 PM SATURDAY...

WEAK ELONGATED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM THE VA COAST
AND VA COASTAL PLAINS SOUTHWEST INTO THE SC PIEDMONT EARLY IN THE
PERIOD WILL ONLY BEGRUDGINGLY MOVE NORTHEAST AND OFFSHORE BY
WEDNESDAY AS A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE TROFS CONTINUE TO CARVE OUT
AND AMPLIFY UPPER TROF DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE
NATION.

PROXIMITY TO OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY...ARRIVAL OF COOLER MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES...AND AREA OF HIGHER THETA-E AIR ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE BLACKSBURG AREA...WITH
UPSLOPING WINDS ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS...WILL WARRANT A
CONTINUED THREAT OF MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN WIDELY SCATTERED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS IN THESE RESPECTIVE AREAS INTO
TUESDAY. SHOULD SEE A RETURN TO DRY WEATHER IN ALL AREAS LATER
TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS SURFACE HIGH FINALLY ARRIVES IN THE
AREA WITH PASSAGE OF UPPER TROF AXIS.

AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER AND THREAT OF SCATTERED PRECIPITATION SHOULD
HELP TO HOLD DAYTIME TEMPERATURES DOWN SOMEWHAT...WITH ACTUAL
TEMPERATURES LIKELY TO FALL SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE COOL MET MOS AND
THE RELATIVELY WARM MAVMOS...CONSISTENT WITH THE INTERNALLY
DERIVED MOSMOS PROJECTIONS THAT WERE PREFERRED FOR THIS FORECAST UPDATE.
OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WERE
QUITE CLOSE ACROSS THE BOARD...AND WERE GENERALLY ACCEPTED WITH
ONLY LIMITED MODIFICATION NEEDED.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 1230 PM SATURDAY...

MEAN FLAT UPPER RIDGE BETWEEN EXITING SHORT WAVE TROF TO THE
NORTHEAST AND APPROACHING TROF OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL LIKELY
LEAVE BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA DRY WITH SEASONAL TEMPERATURES ON
WEDNESDAY.

ASSOCIATED WEAK SURFACE HIGH FORECAST TO MOVE OFFSHORE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE TROFS PUSH SOUTHEAST OUT OF UPPER
MIDWEST...GRADUALLY ESTABLISHING AND AMPLIFYING LONG WAVE TROF
OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE NATION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

BACKING FLOW ALOFT...WITH SURFACE WINDS VEERING INTO THE SOUTHEAST
WITH TIME SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF THETA-E
ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT...SUPPORTING AN INCREASED THREAT OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE LATE WEEK PERIOD...WITH
PRECIPITATION LIKELY TO BE MAXIMIZED ALONG AND IMMEDIATELY EAST OF
THE BLUE RIDGE WHERE UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION FIELDS ARE MAXIMIZED
DUE TO UPSLOPING COMPONENT.

ABUNDANT ANTICIPATED CLOUD COVER AND A GOOD THREAT OF PRECIPITATION
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY SHOULD HELP TO COMPRESS THE NORMAL DIURNAL
TEMPERATURE CURVE...RESULTING IN SEASONAL TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
READINGS BY DAY...BUT WITH MILD TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT.

MEAN TROF AXIS SHOULD PASS EAST OF THE BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA BY
SATURDAY...ALLOWING FOR SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR TO BEGIN FILTERING
INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER...COOLER TEMPERATURES ALOFT
IN VICINITY OF TROF AXIS...AND TIMING UNCERTAINTIES WARRANT A
CONTINUED LOW THREAT FOR LINGERING SHOWERS UNTIL A MORE
SUBSTANTIAL PUSH OF DRIER AIR ARRIVES BY SUNDAY.

HPC GUIDANCE FOLLOWED THROUGH THE ENTIRE LONG TERM PERIOD EXCEPT
FOR SOME SMALL TWEAKS NEEDED TO DAILY HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURES TO
ACCOUNT FOR LOCAL CLIMATOLOGY.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 715 PM...

A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEMS WILL ROTATE AROUND A STRONG
UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE LOWER GREAT LAKES THROUGH INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
ONE WAVE IS TRIGGERING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS MAINLY EAST OF
I-77. THIS AREA WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AND DIMINISH BETWEEN 03-05Z.
BEFORE THEY DIMINISH...OCCASSIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE FOUND
AS THEY PASS OVER KBCB...KROA...AND KDAN.

AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM...NOW IN THE OHIO VALLEY...WILL TRIGGER AROUND AROUND OF
CONVECTION WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS EXPECTED INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVANCING ON SOUTHEAST/SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL BRING IFR CONDITIONS TO ALL TAF SITES WITH LOW CIGS AND
VSBYS...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE.

PRECIPITATION MAY WANE LATE SUNDAY MORNING/EARLY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...BEFORE STORMS RE-DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE
OF A COLD FRONT THAT MOVES THROUGH SUNDAY...AND ENDING WITH ITS
PASSAGE LATE IN THE DAY SUNDAY.

THE COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO BE RATHER ROBUST...MORE TYPICAL OF
A FALL FRONT WITH A DISTINCT WIND SHIFT AND INCREASE IN WIND SPEED
FROM THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT. NORTHWEST WINDS
OF 20 TO 25 KTS ARE PROGGED AT 5KFT AGL SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
THIS SHOULD RESULT IN SOME SFC GUSTS OF UP TO 25 KTS...ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE MTNS. UPSLOPE MVFR CIGS MAY HOLD IN THE MTNS THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...THEN HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD BUILD IN FROM THE
WEST...BRINGING A RETURN OF WIDESPREAD VFR FROM TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY.
