AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
710 AM EST FRI MAR 2 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER MISSOURI WITH A WARM FRONT TRAILING INTO THE
CAROLINAS AND COLD FRONT EXTENDING INTO ARIZONA. THIS SYSTEM WILL
MOVE INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY SATURDAY MORNING...PUSHING THE COLD
FRONT OFF THE EAST COAST BY LATE SATURDAY. COOLER HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FOR SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 700 AM EST FRIDAY...

HAVE UPDATED PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION TO ACCOUNT FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT TO THE
SOUTHWEST.

AS OF 405 AM EST FRIDAY...

HIGH CLOUDS WERE BEGINNING TO SPREAD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THE WARM FRONT EXTENDED FROM WESTERN TENNESSEE
TO SOUTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA. SURFACE DEW POINTS WERE STILL IN THE
20S AND 30S ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA BUT WILL RISE
DRAMATICALLY TODAY AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH OF THE AREA BY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS STILL SHOWING A WEDGE TYPE AREA OF
RELATIVELY HIGHER STABILITY AT LEAST UNTIL 21Z/4PM THIS AFTERNOON
AS THE FRONT LIFTS NORTH. CHANCE OF THUNDER WILL FOLLOW THE WARM
FRONT AND ONCE FORECAST AREA IS WELL WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR THE
PROBABILITY OF STRONGER STORMS WILL REMAIN UNTIL THE COLD FRONT
GOES THROUGH. EXPECT THE COLD FRONT TO REACH THE FAR WESTERN
COUNTY WARNING AREA LATE TONIGHT.

FOR THIS MORNING THE HRRR...RUC AND LOCAL WRF HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
SLOWED DOWN THE PROBABILITY OF RAIN COMING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST
UNTIL AFTER 14Z/9AM. HAVE ALSO LOWERED THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FAR WEST BEHIND THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT.
MODELS ARE WELL CLUSTERED WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONT AND WITH
THE DROP IN 850 MB TEMPERATURES BY MORNING.

AHEAD OF THE FRONT THE LOW LEVEL JET IS FORECAST TO BE AROUND 50
KNOTS...WITH THE LOCAL WRF SHOWING UP TO 65 KNOTS. HAVE ADDED
CHANCE OF GUSTY WINDS TO THE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
FRONT TONIGHT.

TEMPERATURE TREND WILL BE NON DIURNAL TODAY AND TONIGHT SO HOURLY
TEMPERATURES MAINLY FOLLOW THE CHANGES IN TO THE WARM AIR MASS BY
THIS EVENING WITH LITTLE TO KNOW DROP IN TEMPERATURE OVERNIGHT
AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 420 AM EST FRIDAY...

COLD FRONT AND BACK EDGE OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH POSSIBLE
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO BE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION
OF THE BLACKSBURG FORECAST AREA AROUND DAYBREAK SATURDAY...GRADUALLY
MOVING OFF TO THE EAST AND SOUTH OF THE AREA BY AFTERNOON AS COLD
ADVECTION AND MUCH DRIER LOWER TROPOSPHERIC AIR GRADUALLY
OVERSPREADS THE AREA FROM THE WEST. HOWEVER...GOOD CLEARING ON BACK
EDGE OF CLOUD FIELD MAY BE DELAYED ACROSS SOUTHSIDE VA INTO NORTH
CENTRAL NC UNTIL LATER SATURDAY NIGHT DUE TO WEAK WAVE THAT IS
EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST ALONG THE EXITING FRONT SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.

STRONG COLD ADVECTION IN THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD ASSURE THAT DAYTIME
HIGHS ON SATURDAY NOT LIKELY TO BE MUCH MORE THAN A FEW DEGREES
HIGHER THAN TEMPERATURES EXPERIENCED RIGHT AROUND DAYBREAK...MAINLY
UPPER 40S TO MID 50S. EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...INCREASING
DOWNSLOPING AND AT LEAST SOME INCREASE IN INSOLATION SHOULD HELP TO
OFFSET CONTRIBUTION OF COLD ADVECTION SUCH THAT HIGHS SHOULD REACH
INTO THE LOWER 60S IN MANY AREAS BEFORE FLAT-LINING OR SLOWLY
FALLING BY MID AFTERNOON.

CONTINUED COLD ADVECTION ON SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES
TO FALL BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20S IN MOST MOUNTAIN AREAS...WITH
READINGS IN THE 30S COMMON EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE WHERE SOME MID AND
HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS MAY PERSIST CLOSER TO THE COASTAL WAVE.

APPROACH OF UPSTREAM CLIPPER AND RESULTING SLIGHT BACKING OF LOW
LEVEL WIND SHOULD SUPPORT AN INCREASE OF CLOUDS IN MOST AREAS ON
SUNDAY...ALONG WITH AN INCREASING THREAT OF MOUNTAIN RAIN/SNOW
SHOWERS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. LIMITED INSOLATION IN THE MOUNTAINS
SHOULD HELP TO LIMIT DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES TO THE MID 30S TO MID
40S IN MOST AREAS...WITH SOME LOWER TO MID 50S POSSIBLE EAST OF THE
BLUE RIDGE WHERE A BIT MORE INSOLATION IS EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 335 PM EST THURSDAY...

MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH TRACKING A NORTHERN STREAM CLIPPER FROM
THE UPPER MID WEST SUNDAY EVENING AND OVER THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
MONDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE COLD ENOUGH TO HAVE MOSTLY SNOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. IF MOISTURE CAN SURVIVE DOWNSLOPE
FLOW EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...RAIN WILL EVENTUALLY CHANGE OVER TO
SNOW BY SUNRISE. THE CLIPPER MOVES EAST OF THE AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON
ENDING SNOW THREAT FOR MOST OF THE AREA. COLD NORTHWEST FLOW WILL
BRING WESTERN UPSLOPE SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS LATE MONDAY MORNING INTO
MONDAY NIGHT.

CURRENT FORECAST TRACK OF THE CLIPPER AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE WILL
BRING THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL TOTALS TO SOUTHEASTERN WEST VIRGINIA.
CLIMATOLOGICAL LY...MARCH CLIPPERS BRING 3-6 INCHES OF SNOW TO RNK NW
AND 1-3 INCHES ACROSS RNK SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS COUNTIES. A MIXTURE OF
RAIN/SNOW IN THE EAST USUALLY KEEPS SNOWFALL UNDER AN INCH. 12Z
GFS/ECMWF SURPRISING CLOSE ON 24 HOUR SNOWFALL TOTALS SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY...2-4 INCHES IN THE WEST TO 0.5-1.5 INCHES IN THE EAST.
A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK COULD INCREASE AMOUNTS OVER THE AREA OR SHIFT
HIGHER TOTALS TO THE SOUTH WITH THE STRONGER LIFT/MOISTURE. WE STILL
HAVE 4 DAYS TO LOOK AT THIS SYSTEM. NO NEED TO CHANGE PLANS RIGHT
NOW.

ONCE THE CLIPPER EXITS AND UPSLOPE SNOW STOPS MONDAY NIGHT...A BROAD
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL RESIDE ALONG THE EAST COAST. THIS +1035MB
RIDGE WILL KEEP THE AREA COOL EARLY NEXT WEEK THEN TEMPERATURES
MODERATE TOWARD NORMAL AND ABOVE BY WEEKS END. THIS RIDGE MAY KEEP
THE AREA DRY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AND POSSIBLY INTO THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 700 AM EST FRIDAY...

CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION AHEAD OF A WARM FRONT WILL SPREAD ACROSS
THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS MORNING. CEILINGS WILL LOWER
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED WITH WIDESPREAD MVFR CEILINGS THIS AFTERNOON.

WINDS WILL TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST AS THE WARM FRONT COMES THROUGH.
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...SOME
WITH HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS AND IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES.

HIGH CONFIDENCE WITH TIMING OF COLD FRONT AND WIND SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST AFTER 06Z TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BE STRONG AND GUSTY BEHIND
THE FRONT BUT CEILINGS SHOULD BE LIFTING.

ANOTHER SHORT WAVE BRINGS A SECONDARY FRONT AND COLDER AIR IN FOR
MONDAY. EXPECT MOUNTAIN RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WITH MVFR
CEILINGS...ESPECIALLY AT BLF AND LWB SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WITH DRIER AIR AND VFR CONDITIONS BUILDS IN FOR TUESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
LOCATIONS ON THE JAMES RIVER DOWNSTREAM OF BENT CREEK CONTINUE TO
RISE. SCOTTSVILLE AND BREMO BLUFF ARE EXPECTED TO CREST THIS
AFTERNOON. STAGES AT ALL LOCATIONS ON THE GREENBRIER RIVER WERE
FALLING.

RAINFALL TODAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY MAY BRING ANOTHER HALF INCH TO
MAYBE AN INCH OF RAIN. THIS COULD LEAD TO RISES ON AREA RIVERS
OVER THE WEEKEND. WILL ALSO BE MONITORING THE HEADWATERS AND SMALL
STREAM THAT ARE STILL RECEDING. A FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE
REQUIRED LATER TODAY.
